The processing units in the TMB200 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).
TMB200 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. Input and interstage amplifiers could be individually set on/off to adapt the unit
gain to the available UHF input signal level.
TMB 200 Part nr. 360221
5 inputs : BI + FM, BIII-DAB, UHF1, UHF2, UHF3
UHF Gain = 55 / 35 dB
BIII Gain = 45 dB
BI-FM Gain = 30 dB
Niveau de sortie UHF = 117 dBµV
TMB 200S Part nr. 324222
6 inputs: BI + FM, BIII, UHF1, UHF2, UHF3, Sat-IF
SAT-IF Gain = 40 dB
UHF Gain = 55 / 35 dB
BIII Gain = 45 dB
BI-FM Gain = 30 dB
Output level SAT = 118 dBµV
Output level UHF = 115 dBµV
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.
Earthing 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, 80mA max.

An external keypad and display is used to setup the unit. A USB cable is used to connect the unit and the
keypad.
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:
The unit erases all the programming parameters and switches to standby mode.
