OPERATING
A multichannel amplier consists of highly isolated individual ampliers for every incoming line. Gain and slope controls of
each amplier are located between input and output connectors of corresponding line.
Gain regulation is performed by two step attenuators. The rst rough control attenuator has 4 possitions with 4 dB steps
and the second ne control attenuator has 4 possitions with 1 dB steps. The gain of amplier is dened by subtracting joint
attenuation of both attenuators from maximum gain.
Slope control has 4 positions. The value of each position determines the dierence of gain at highest and lowest frequencies.
Amplier SA91L provides voltages 18 V to all horizontal polarization connectors, 14 V to all vertical polarization connectors
and 12 V to Terrestrial TV input connector. The switches on the output side allows disconnect voltages of 18 V and 14 V from
output connectors. This is usefull in large networks for prevention of interference between power supply units, when several of
them are incorporated. The switch on the input side allows disconnecting of voltage 12 V from from terrestrial TV input line to
avoid short-circuiting of power supply if terrestrial amlier with remote powering is not installed. All voltage sources have short
circuit protection with LED indicators. Green light indicates normal operation. The red light signals that short-circuit emerged in
corresponding line or power supply is overloaded (in the case of overloading 18 V red light will be intermittent). After that amplier
SA91L must unplugged from mains and network must be repaired. Allow at least 30 sec. before connecting to the mains again.
Amplier SA91DL is powered from central network power supply (for example SA91L) through horizontal polarization lines.
Both lines regarding DC are interconnected to minimize voltage loss in lines. It consumes up to 0.3 A from 18 V power supply.
Amplier has connector for auxilary power supply if voltage from central power supply is not accessible. If it is plugged voltage
is distributed to horizontal polarization lines in the same way as SA91L. In every case presence of voltage in lines will be
indicated by green LEDs near the corresponding switch. Voltage 12 V in the input connector of Terrestrial path will be only if 18 V
is present in horizontal polarization lines.
Both ampliers SA91L and SA91DL has DC through path in every Satellite TV line. It provides exibility for installation of
power supply units inside the network.
