4. HARDWARE
CONNECTIONS
a. The CTMS-16RKPS is designed for installation in a standard 19” EIA rack.
b. Connect a 75ohm coaxial cable with F-connectors from the LHCP LNB Output to the
CTMS-16RKPS’ LHCP LNB Input port.
c. Connect a 75ohm coaxial cable with F-connectors from the RHCP LNB Output to the
CTMS-16RKPS’ RHCP LNB Input port.
d. Connect a 75ohm coaxial cable with F-connectors from one of the CTMS-16RKPS’s
Output ports to the input of a satellite receiver. Repeat for each satellite receiver.
e. Connect the power supply’s 3.5mm plug to the CTMS-16RKPS’s Power Input port.
Plug the power supply into a 120 VAC, 60Hz receptacle.
f.
Each satellite receiver can select programs in either RHCP or LHCP. To select RHCP,
a 17/18 DC voltage is used. To select LHCP, a 13/14 DC voltage is used.
5. ADJUSTMENT
No adjustments to the CTMS-16RKPS can be made.
However, it is important to ensure all headend equipment including modulators, combiners,
and amplifiers are adjusted to the proper signal levels per the headend design specifications.
6. TROUBLESHOOTING
a. Ensure you are using quality multiple shielded cables with quality radial or
compression F-connectors.
b. Ensure the F-connector’s center conductor is making solid contact with the
CTMS-16RKPS Input and Output ports, the LNB connectors, and the satellite receiver
input connectors.
