2.4 Description
FMsignalscanbesuppliedtothecablenetworkovertheFMamplifierHRM225.
ThisinvolvessendingtheFMsignalsoveranIECsockettotheFMamplifier.To
eliminate interference, up to 6 different input frequencies can be lowered with
tuneable traps. The amplified, selected HF signals are supplied to the cable
networkovertheHFoutputoftheFMamplifier.
If the FM amplifier is not detected by the head-end, station you can update the
head-end station’s operating software over the head-end station’s 9-pin Sub-D
socket,byusingaPCornotebookandthe“BE-Flash” software.

The
FM amplifier
HRM 225 is designed exclusively for use in the STC 160 head-
end station.
3 Installation
Caution
– Ensure the head-end station is mounted so it will not be able to vibrate.
Avoid, for example, mounting the head-end station onto a lift shaft or any
other wall or floor construction that vibrates in a similar way.
– Before installing or changing a module, switch off the head-end station or
unplug the power cable from the mains power socket.
Take measures to protect against ESD!
3.1 Installing the FM amplifier
Caution
– When installing a module, make sure that it is inserted in one of the long,
numbered grooves in front of the contact strip on the board at the rear wall
of the housing.
– The shorter, non-numbered grooves without a contact strip on the board at
the rear wall of the housing are for add-on modules only.
•
Open the housing of the head-end station in accordance with the assembly
instructions for the STC 160.

3.2 Connecting the FM amplifier
•AftersettingtheFMamplifier(chap.4)connectitsoutputCto one of the
inputs Gof the quad output collector using the attenuator Eand the IEC /
F cable supplied.
•ConnectinputDof the FM amplifier to one of the preinstalled F terminals in
the rear wall via the cable inlet Fusing an HF cable made on-site (length
approx. 80 cm).

After installing the head-end station, retrofitting accessories or installing
modules it is necessary to tighten all cable connections, F terminals and
cover screws in order to maintain compliance with current EMC regulations
and to ensure a reliable operation.
4 Setting the FM amplifier
In order to prevent interference, too high signal levels, e. g. of local transmitters,
can be reduced by absorption circuits.
•Switchonthehead-endstation.
—>
The display shows the following indication for the FM amplifier.
If the module is not indicated update the software of the control panel.
•ConnectaspectrumanalysertotheoutputCof the FM amplifier.
•Setlevelregulator1to the mechanical centre.
•Ifnecessarytunetheabsorptioncircuitgroups2and 3to the frequencies
to be lowered.
—> You can lower 3 interfering frequencies each with the absorption circuit
groups 2and 3. If the adjustment range of an absorption circuit, for
example from group 2is inadequate, you can lower the frequencies
even further with an absorption circuit that is tuned to the same frequen
cy
from group 3.

5 Final procedures
•ConnectoutputCof the FM amplifier to one of the inputs Gof the quad out-
put collector using the attenuator Eand the IEC / F cable supplied. (fig. 3).
•Set the output level required for the cable system with level regulator 1,
(Fig. 4).
•Mount the base plate and the front cover (see STC 160 assembly instruc-
tions).
