The processing units in the TMB100 range are used to selectively filter digital and analogue UHF
channels. These units also couple and amplify VHF programmes according to the satellite band
model (IF).
TMB100 units have 10 UHF filters, distributed over 3 inputs with programmable bandwidth from 1 to
7 channels (8 to 56 MHz), making it suitable for most situations.
An individual setting for each filter or frequency band, and automatic control of the UHF output level,
for aligning service plan levels.
TMB-100 part nr. 360223
5 inputs: BI + FM, BIII-DAB, UHF1, UHF2, UHF3
Gain UHF = 55 / 35 dB
Gain BIII = 45 dB
Gain BI-FM = 30 dB

Important: The unit should only be opened by a qualified technician.
Disconnect the unit before carrying out any work on it, as some powered components are
dangerous (risk of electrical shock).
To maintain the temperature of the unit within its normal operating range, ensure the free
circulation of air around the unit (avoid placing it in enclosed spaces). The ventilation grids
must be free of any obstruction.
Ensure that no liquids can penetrate inside the unit (splashes and/or run off).
Do not install the unit in a damp place. If there are traces of condensation on the unit, do not
use it until it has dried completely.
The mains power cable and the HF connection cables must be in good condition and free to
move (neither crushed nor obstructed).
The mains plug, easily accessible for the technician, must be out of reach of children.
Grounding of the unit
Your aerial installation must comply with the requirements specified by the European
provisions EN 50083 (conformity of collective installations) and EN 60065 (standards in
force for electrical protection).
Replacing fuses
Only a qualified technician can replace defective fuses.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Ensure that the screws on the box are properly tightened.
Cables and connection terminals should show no signs of rust.

We recommend you install the unit in a sufficiently ventilated place. Natural ventilation must be able
to occur through the ventilation grids; leave a minimum space of 15 cm around the unit to ensure
maximum ventilation. When installing or cabling the unit, we recommend you disconnect the
mains power cable.
Connecting the unit
Note: UHF inputs are remotely supplied and protected against short circuits. The power available is
12 or 24V, 50mA max. The preamplifier is detected automatically; only the remote power voltage
can be programmed.

A 4-digit display and a keypad are all you need to programme the unit. Follow the procedure below
for configuring the various parameters.
When the unit is powered on:
the programme mode is in standby:
by default, the system is configured as follows:
oUHF1 3 UHF filters
oUHF2 0 UHF filters
oUHF3 7 UHF filters
all the UHF filters are deactivated (display "- -"),
the attenuators are at zero.
Factory reset
If necessary, to revert to factory settings, follow the procedure below:
1. Disconnect the power cable
2. Press the esc button and hold it
3. Connect the power cable
The unit erases all the programming parameters, including the PIN code, and switches to standby
mode.

You can release the esc button when the display shows "Default Settings".

IMPORTANT!
AGC: The unit memorizes the average output level. A variation of ± 1 dB triggers the
function and compensates the variation within gain and attenuation limits
AGC mode hides all other menus. To modify the parameters, switch the AGC mode to OFF.
Auto Level: The unit memorizes the selected output level, the function try to reach the value
within input, gain and attenuation limits.
Note: Setting of the levels BI-II / BIII is not automatic.
