Requiring device power, air-conditioning power and lighting power are
independent toeach other. Devicepower requiresAC 110V±10%, 50/60Hz
or AC 220V±10%, 50/60Hz. Please carefully check before running.
2.5 GROUNDING REQUIREMENT
➢All function modules’ good grounding is the basis of reliability and stability of devices. Also,
they are the most important guarantee of lightning arresting and interference rejection.
Therefore, the system must follow this rule.
➢Grounding conductor must adopt copper conductor in order to reduce high frequency
impedance, and the grounding wire must be as thick and short as possible.

P a g e | 11
➢Users shouldmake sure the 2 ends of grounding wire well electric conducted and be antirust.
➢It is prohibited to use any other device as part of grounding electric circuit
➢The area of the conduction between grounding wire and device’s frame should be no less
than 25mm2.

OPERATION
TL-9524C encoder modulator’s front panel is user operating interface. Before operating, user
can decide whether directly use the default setting or customize the input and output
parameters setting. The detail operations go as follows:
Keyboard Function Description
ENTER: Activating the parameters which need modifications or confirming the change after
modification.
MENU: To cancel presently entered value, resume previous setting and return to previous
menu.
LEFT/RIGHT: To move the “►” to choose or set the parameters.
UP/DOWN: To modify activated parameter or page up/down when parameter is inactivated.
LOCK: To Lock the screen / cancel the lock state. After pressing lock key, the system will
question the users to save present setting or not. If not, the LCD will display the current
configuration state.
At the “Factory Configuration” page, user can press “ENTER” key to restore the factory default
configuration.
