Introduction
Disposal Within in the European Union this label indicates that the product
cannot be disposed of with the general household waste. Neither
the headend nor the input and output modules can be disposed
of with the general household waste.
For proper treatment and recycling of old products, please take

Box content
Below you can see an illustrated description of a DVB-S module.
A new input module is wrapped in antistatic bubble wrap and packed in a
cardboard box when you receive it.
Included in the box is a user guide instructing you in how to use the TDX
Service Tool to configure the module

Basics
Labels
Before you can install a DVB-S module in the input section you have to re-
move the cover that protects the module slot.
Cover removal
For EMC and cooling reasons only remove covers from the module slots that
you want to insert modules into.
You do not need tools to remove the covers, just use your fingers.
A label is placed on the input module where you can write the information re-
garding the configuration of the module.
Besides the information that you write on the label, the module type and part
number are also displayed on the label.
Note
On the bottom of the module you will find a label with the bar code and a se-
rial number printed on it.
The coloured part at the top of the label informs you of the mod-
ule type. Each type of module is allocated a unique coloured la-
bel.

Basics
Module instal-
lation
It is optional in which slots you place the individual input modules in the input
section. For convenience each slot has been given a number, and an over-
view of the slot numbers has been placed on the inside of the door of each
unit.
Note Slot no. 1 is placed in the top left-hand corner of the input section
when you face the front of the unit.
You install an input module by sliding the module into a module slot in the in-
put section of the headend unit and push it till the module clicks into place.
Note You can use hot swapping when you insert an input module into
or remove an input module from the TDX system.

When all the required input modules have been installed you can connect the
input signal cables one by one to the input modules.
It is also possible to make a loop through from one input module to another.
