Terra SA51 User manual

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Multichannel ampliers SA51, SA51D are parts of medium or large SMATV networks.
SA51 is designed as a launch amplier and usually is installed at the begining of network. Its main purposes are:
- to equilize the power of signals in different lines;
- to make amplitude pre-correction of signal for compensation its loss in network;
- to supply voltage to LNB converters and other network elements like interstage ampliers SA51D, MV series multiswitches,
terrestrial path ampliers and so on.
SA51D is designed as interstage amplier with remote powering. Generally it is installed inside cascaded type networks to
compensate signal loss in trunk lines. It could be used as a launch amplier if additional power supply is plugged to relative
connector.
Suitable for moderate and tropical climates.
The ampliers are intended for indoor use only.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Installation of the ampliers must be done according IEC60728-11 and national safety standards.
Amplifier SA51 is powered from mains 230 V~ (this voltage is dangerous to life) and SA51D - from line
12...20 V DC via input connector.
Any repairs must be done by a qualied personnel.
Amplier SA51 is double isolated from mains 230 V~.
To avoid the electric shock follow these instructions:
Do not remove the cover of the power supply section, without disconnecting the amplier from the mains supply.
Do not plug the amplier into the mains supply if the power cord or plug is damaged.
Do not plug the amplier SA51 into the mains supply until all cables have been connected correctly.
To disconnect the amplier SA51 completely - disconnect plug from the mains socket.
The mains socket must be easily accessible.
To disconnect the amplier SA51D completely from supply voltage, disconnect the cable from input connector.
The ampliers shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing water and no objects lled with liquids, such as vases, shall be
placed on it.
Avoid placing amplier next to central heating components, near highly combustible materials and in areas of high humidity.
No naked ame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on ampliers.
If the amplier has been kept in cold conditions for a long time, keep it in a warm room no less than 2 hours before plugging
into the mains.
Do not insert any objects into ventilation openings.
The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains.
Mount the amplier on not ammable wall or in not ammable installation box in vertical position with power supply unit on
the right side.
From top, front and bottom of installed amplier must be at least 10 cm free space.

OPERATING
A multichannel amplier consists of highly isolated individual ampliers for every incoming line. Gain and slope controls of
each amplier are located between input and output connectors of corresponding line.
Gain regulation is performed by two step attenuators. The rst rough control attenuator has 4 possitions with 4 dB steps
and the second ne control attenuator has 4 possitions with 1 dB steps. The gain of amplier is dened by subtracting joint
attenuation of both attenuators from maximum gain.
Slope control has 4 positions. The value of each position determines the difference of gain at highest and lowest frequencies.
Amplier SA51 provides voltages 18 V to all horizontal polarization connectors, 14 V to all vertical polarization connectors
and 12 V to Terrestrial TV input connector. The switches on the output side allows disconnect voltages of 18 V and 14 V from
output connectors. This is usefull in large networks for prevention of interference between power supply units, when several of
them are incorporated. The switch on the input side allows disconnecting of voltage 12 V from from terrestrial TV input line to
avoid short-circuiting of power supply if terrestrial amlier with remote powering is not installed. All voltage sources have short
circuit protection with LED indicators. Green light on them indicates normal operation. The red light signals that short-circuit
emerged in corresponding line or power supply is overloaded (in the case of overloading 18 V red light will be intermittent).
After that amplier SA51 must unplugged from mains and network must be repaired. Do not plug amplier to mains again until
30 sec. time will pass.
Amplier SA51D is powered from central network power supply (for example SA51) through horizontal polarization lines.
Both lines regarding DC are interconnected to minimize voltage loss in lines. It consumes up to 0.2 A from 18 V power supply.
Amplier has connector for auxilary power supply if voltage from central power supply is not accessible. If it is plugged voltage is
distributed to horizontal polarization lines in the same way as SA51. In every case presence of voltage in lines will be indicated
by green LEDs near the corresponding switch. Voltage 12 V in the input connector of Terrestrial path will be only if 18 V is
present in horizontal polarization lines.
Both ampliers SA51 and SA51D has DC through path in every Satellite TV line. It provides exibility for installation of power
supply units inside the network.
