How do I disable the automatic line powering circuitry on my Kompact amplifiers?

 

The easiest way to disable the automatic powering in the Kompact amplifiers is by removing the three resistors.

You can locate them in the diagram below, on the left-hand side, surrounded by the red and blue squares. 

This circuitry is used in each of the inputs of the amplifier.

In the following pictures you can find their real location on the PC board as well as how the PCB looks like with and without these three resistors:

I have the unit ref. 5878.

I wish to convert the unit to receive an input signal of 735.25 MHz and provide this signal out at 46.25 MHz.

Please advise as to the positions of the internal switches.

These converters feature three internal filters:

  • Input filter.
  • Output filter.
  • Local Oscillator filter.

These filters are adjusted according to the needed output/input channel conversion.

The internal dipswitches only allow you to select the right frequency for the channel converter local oscillator.

In other words, you need to change the position of the switches and you also need to adjust the filters.

These operations require specialised equipment such as network analysers.

In any case, the reference that you mention will not be able to carry out the conversion from UHF to VHF, because it is a UHF to UHF converter.

You must use ref. 5879 which is a UHF to BI converter.

How the MAIN UNIT (ref.5715) works:

  • It combines UHF, FM, DAB and SKY Digital onto a single downlwead that feeds the outlet (8240 or 5718). Then a second cable leads the UHF signals from the outlet back to the MAIN UNIT.

How the MAIN UNIT (ref.5715) works:

  • BAck in the main unit these signals are combined with the VHF and amplifed to provide 4 TV points, including the already decoded SKY programme supplied by the Digibox UHF output.
  • Our Small Digital Eye (5717) at each TV point allows remotely change channels from the SKY Digibox.

I have ref. 5079: why doesn´t the symbol rate work from 2-45 mBaud?

There are some frequencies which have a symbol rate that is below 10 mBaud.

The QPSK/PAL ref. 5079 officially works from 10-30 mBaud.

Since rates below 10 mBaud could cause problems in some networks around the world, here at Televes we wanted to make sure that the unit worked properly everywhere.

Because of this, the technical specifications of this device state that the unit works from 10 to 30 mBaud.

However, as some networks can still work below this rate, the unit can be programmed (by the universal programmer ref. 7234) to a minimum of 5 mBaud

Therefore, the unit really works from 5-30 mBaud. Below these figures we cannot guarantee that it will work correctly.

What is the bending radius of a coaxial cable?

EXPERT OPINION

All coaxial cable have a limit in their bendingradius at a given value; beyond thisvalue the cable no longer will maintain its electrical properties.
Furthermore, apart from the variation of impedance, an excessive bending beyond the minimum bend radius can lead to break of shielding foil. This breakage leaves the coaxial cable exposed to the ingress of interfering signals.
For cable runs where it might be forced to bending radius less 

 

 

than its minimum value, the use of right angled connectors is the best solution. The image below shows how a connector easyF preserves the integrity of the cable compared with a straight F connector.
There is no specific rules to establish the minimum bending radius.

 

Manufacturers and operators establish their own criteria. In practice and as a general rule, it is not recommended bending radius less than five times the cable diameter, as shown in the figure

How can a TR165 coaxial cable be used with a saddle and clamp connecting device?

A TR165 coaxial cable can be used in this way by employing an adapter lead as indicated below:

  • Place an F male connector (either the clamping or twist-on type; ref. 9346 and ref. 9349 respectively) at the end of the TR165 coaxial cable
  • Then connect an F female - F female adapter ref. 4173.
  • Cut a piece of T100 coaxial cable and place an F male connector ref. 4171 at one of its ends.
  • Finally connect the 4171 to the female-female adapter on the TR165 and the other end to the saddle and clamp connection.

Splitband amplifiers have a maximum output level that is similar to broadband amplifiers, so:

What are their advantages?


<!--

    

-->Splitband amplifiers feature two separate amplification stages (as their name indicates).

Each one is tuned for the UHF and the VHF bands.

Because of this, when applying a reduction of the maximum output level, the UHF and VHF channels have to be considered independently as if they were two broadband amplifiers.

Therefore, for a particular number of VHF and UHF channels, we can achieve higher output levels using splitband amplification rather than using broadband amplifiers.

In a domestic analogue and digital satellite TV reception system:

The bypass connector of the digital receiver is used to send the LNB signal to the analogue receiver.

However, I do not receive most of the analogue channels.

What should I do?

There are digital receivers that are continuously sending a 22 KHz tone to the LNB.

This way, the LNB is always receiving the high band of the satellite.
This is the band that is reserved for digital transmissions.

To disable this tone, you must:

  • Switch the digital receiver off
  • The LNB is now ready for the analogue receiver.

In a satellite TV installation, most of the satellite channels are not received correctly except those that I know are received with a high power level.

The LNBs have to be installed with a certain skew to obtain the correct polarity discrimination.

Usually, when a dish is orientated towards a satellite positioned to the east, its cable comes out from the left-hand side (when looking at the dish from the front)

When the dish is oriented towards a satellite positioned to the west, its cable comes out from the right-hand side.

The internal sensors of the new LNB, ref. 7475, are inverted.

Because of this, to receive satellites positioned to the east, the cable comes out slightly sloped to the right.

As well as this, it is always necessary to carry out a polarity discrimination adjustment, using a Field Strength Meter.
