I n st a lla t ion :
AC pow er supply
This equipment is provided with a protective earthing ground incorporated in the power cord.
The mains plug shall only be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth
contact (TN type power supply). Any interruption of the protective conductor, inside or
outside the equipment, is likely to make the equipment dangerous. Intentional interruption is
prohibited.
The installation of the equipment and the connection of the mains power supply system must
be made in compliance to local or national wiring installation standards. The positioning of the
equipment must be such that the mains supply socket outlet for the equipment should be near
the equipment and easily accessible or that there should be another suitable means of
disconnection from the mains supply.
The power supply is set to operate from 100 to 240Vac to 47-63Hz.

Ca ble d ist r ibu t ion syst e m
The equipment shall be installed in accordance with the applicable provisions of NEC Article
810 for US and with CEC section 54 for Canada
Before connecting the coax to the equipment make sure that equipment is properly
grounded. The screen of the used coax cable should be bonded to the earth at the building
entrance.
Tech nica l Ea r t h
On the rear panel of the equipment is a technical earth available (An unmarked terminal, on
the right side of the equipment)
It is provided to:
- Ensure all equipment chassis fixed within a rack are at the same technical earth
potential. This is done by connecting a wire between the technical earth terminal
and a suitable point on the rack
- Eliminate the migration of stray charges when connecting between equipment.
Ra ck m ou nt in g
The equipment is designed to operate in a static 19-inch rack system conforming to IEC 60297
When mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack, the device must be sustained by L-
profiles. Fixing the device with 4 front panel screws only will damage it and could result in
injury.
Operation of the equipment in transportable installations and vehicles equipped with the
means of providing a stable environment is permissible. Operation of the equipment on
vehicles, ships or aircraft without the means of environmental conditioning may invalidate the
safety compliance.
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for
safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

This input is used when a reference with enhanced stability is needed or when several
modulators need to be synchronised to the same clock source. The level should be 0 dBm
nominally. This input is only valid if the device is equipped with a NTC/3462 10 MHz reference
frequency module.
5 .1 .5 Et h er ne t con ne ct ion
A standard RJ-45 connector provides connection to an Ethernet HUB in a LAN (10/100Base T).
Setting of the IP address and mask is possible from the frontpanel while in expert mode.
RMCP commands can be sent to the device using the Ethernet interface. The commands are
sent as data in a TCP/IP stream. The used socket number is 5933.The RMCP protocol is
exactly the same as for the serial interface, with one small exception: The RMCP address of
the device (that is present in an RMCP command) will be ignored by the receiving device.
To enable the device to communicate over Ethernet, the Ethernet interface needs to be
configured. This is done by setting the IP address and net mask using the keyboard interface.

7 H ow t o r e ad t h is m a nu al
The parameters described in the operation section of this manual are organised in a similar
way the menu-tree of the device is built. Depending on hardware installed and software
capabilities, a number of menu items may not be present in your device. The menu structure
of any Newtec device is dynamically built depending on its configuration.
Var ia ble na m e – N e w t ec M ne m onic
The Newtec Mnemonic name is a unique name that is given to each parameter in any Newtec
device. It is used as a reference to the variable definition in the Newtec database. It is also
used as a link to the remote monitor and control parameters and as a target for the hyperlinks
in this document.
The first line of the display always shows the current location in the menu-tree of the device.
The second line is the label name and the default value.

8 .1 User
The user menu can be completely configured by the user. It allows quickly accessing the
control, monitoring and testing parameters that are of interest to the user. The goal is that an
operator can configure "his" device with quick access to parameters that he needs to change
or monitor regularly. Also the order in which the menu items are presented can be arranged to
meet the specific demands of the operator. This is a very useful feature in for example the
DSNG applications, where the general parameters are pre-configured and stored in the default
boot-configuration and where the relevant parameters that need a quick change (during link
setup) are made available as a group in the user menu. The device can then be operated by
the operator without having to go through all the different menus.

8 .2 Unit
This section of the menu allows setup, monitor and control of general unit parameters that are
common to all Azimuth platform devices. The control parameters are generally once set during
installation but are not changed on an operational basis.
8 .2 .1 Se t up
This section of the menu allows configuration of the general unit parameters, most of them
being parameters that define how to communicate with the device.
