Notes
● The setting and numeric values given in the following are only examples and may not
necessarily match the delivery status.
● When operating two BS5 Light units ensure that the relevant output blocks do not overlap.
The output signals of the two head-units can then be combined with distributors of the
0000/3200; see the example in Fig. 4.!
● The power supply of the LNB (remote feeding must be done with external components
(The LNB supply can be done e.g. by Zwischenverstärker 5Z2/NT with external power supply. !
● Pay attention to the input level of the BS5 Light and, if necessary, verify it using a meter!

Configuration
1Reading the system
By the menu item ( System | Read out system or by clicking on the respective symbol in the symbol
bar you can build up a connection to BS5 Light. The following dialog appears to establish a connection:
The used computer COM port will display.
After successful connection the configuration window appears.
2Basic settings
Double click on the BS5 Light units in the Navigation tree opens the Basic Settings window.
All the configurable parameters of a module, such as the input and output frequencies, can be set using
the Basic Settings window.
Non-configurable parameters (such as SNR, BER, code rate , which represent continually varying status
information regarding the head-end, are read at intervals of about 3 seconds and updated in the
dialogue window
The display always refers to one of the eight channels in the head-end. First select the channel 1 to 8
for which you wish to change the settings.

2.1 Input configuration
Input The socket A or B to be used for the input can be selected in the selection box Input for the
selected channel unit.
Satellite In the Satellite selection box a known satellite can be selected from the TMS-BS5 satellite list.
Transponder The Transponder selection box contains a list of transponders that are available at
the connected selection plane of the selected input. The precondition for this is that
the transponders are given in the satellite list.
The selection of a transponder automatically sets the values for the Sat-Frequency,
ZF frequency and Symbol rate.
In addition, the following search dialogue for channels and transponders can be
activated by the button to the right next to the selection box:
Using Store for a set of selected search results, transponders and the associated frequencies and the
symbol rates are filled in accordingly. Alternatively, the Sat-Frequency/ZF frequency and Symbol rate
can also be input manually, e.g. if a particular transponder is not included in the list of satellites.
If a valid DVB-S/S2 transport stream is received on the set frequency, then the Lock Status is set to
Locked. The text
boxes Mode, Code rate, C/N Reserve, SNR and BER show in this case information
on the properties and quality of the received satellite signal.
Note
The satellite frequency and IF frequency depend directly on one another and are converted
automatically.

2.2 Data stream configuration
In the Basic Settings | Data stream area the basic settings for the processing of the transport
stream of a channel unit can be configured. The channel filter and PID filter function can be switched on
and off at the corresponding selection boxes.
NIT The NIT text box shows that the NIT (Network Information Table has been taken over unchanged
(NIT Original .
C T
There is the option to replace the CAT. The CAT (Conditional Access Table is generally taken
from the satellite transport stream. In special cases, such as for provider KabelKiosk, it can be
necessary to replace the CAT Operator ID in the transport stream (mark the checkbox Insert
Operator ID in C T . The new value for the CAT Operator ID can be changed manually (field
Operator ID and is then inserted into the transport stream in place of the original ID.
Load
In the
Load
text box the current and peak loads of the output are shown in %. The measured
value for peak loading can be reset with the button to the right.
If the loading reaches values of over 90 % the text color changes to red. This indicates that any
further loading through additional channels would exceed the capacity of the output channels
2.3 DVB-C-QAM output-configuration
In the Basic Settings | Output area the QAM output of the head-unit can be configured.
HF-output Using the HF Output selection box the HF output of the channel unit can be switched on and off.
Channel
The Channel selection box describes a normal cable standard channel grid of K21-K69 and
S21-S41 in steps of 8 MHz.
Frequency
A fine setting of the frequency can be done manually in the text box in steps of 0.25 MHz.
Symbol rate
The fi ne setting of the symbol rates can be done manually in the corresponding text box in steps
of 1 KS/s.
Level Using the Level selection box the signal strength of the output signal can be set in 40 steps
from maximum (0 to minimum (-40 .
Constellation The selection box Constellation specifies the QAM constellation (QAM16, QAM32,…QAM256 .
Mode
The selection box Mode allows the HF output to be modulated with various output signals, for
example, for measuring and analysis purposes:
1. In the normal operating mode the transmodulated satellite signal is output.
2. PRBS: Test mode. The QAM signal is modulated with the PRBS-23 sequence. Normal
mode is unavailable in this setting.
3. CW: Test mode. Sine-wave signal for levelling using simple signal meters. Normal mode is
unavailable in this setting..

2.4 Program table/filter configuration
The Program Table includes all the channels (services of
a channel unit. The table contains the service IDs and
channel types in addition to the names of the channels.
The entry in the ctive column for each channel specifies
whether it should be included in the output transport
stream.
2.5 PID list
In the PID list the package IDs (package
IDs/PIDs which are always allowed through by
the filtering can be specified in addition to the
channel table. The PID list is required only in
exceptional cases. Please note that the maximum
length of the PID list is limited (e.g. to 100
entries . The maximum length can vary depending
on the firmware version.

2.6 Software configuration
General settings can be made in the menu Settings | Basic Settings . Within the individual tabs a
variety of settings can be performed. They can also be called up by the Settings button to the right of
the ZF frequency row.
2.6.1 Start options
Choose what type of plant will be opened with the TMS-BS5.
2.6.2 Frequency settings
In tab Frequencies you can assign an LNB type each satellite.
The LNB type can be configured separately for each satellite
Im Normalfall reicht der Standardtyp mit den LO-Frequenzen von 9,75/10,6 GHz. (Anlegen eines neuen
LNBs siehe Punkt 2.6.3
The
utomatically update the DiSEqC option is not used in the BS5 Light.

11
2.6.3 LNB
In tab LNB you can manage LNB types.
Normally, the default type is sufficient with the
LO frequencies of 9.57/10.6 GHz.
For the case that you use a LNB with other
LO frequencies, you can create this click on
the dd button.
2.6.4 Cache
In the Cache tab you can perform settings for the channel unit’s cache.
When the channel list for a transponder is being read in by a channel unit, this channel list can be saved
in the background. If this or another channel unit should read in the channel list for the same
transponder then the saved channel list is used instead. When using the same transponder
successively, this can significantly reduce the waiting times.
Validity of cache entries
Since the channel list of a transponder can change, it makes sense to rewrite the information saved in
the background from time to time. This interval can be configured by setting the Validity of cache
entries .
Clear cache
There is also the option to clear the cache immediately. This is particularly useful if you know that the
channel list for a transponder has changed. If you are unsure whether a channel list is still current, clear
the transcoder cache and read in the transponder afresh.
On quitting the application, the cache for the channel units is cleared automatically.

12
2.6.5 Warnings
The Warnings tab is not relevant for operation of the BS5 Light. It is not possible to accidentally make a
multiple assignment of the output frequencies due to the block implementation.
