Amplifier Setup

To successfully setup the BLE100, you need to perform the following tasks:

ƒForward path alignment

ƒReturn path alignment

ƒCheck powering and surge protection options

Forward Path Alignment

You must perform the following BLE100 alignment procedures for proper performance in the forward path:

ƒSelect the appropriate cable equalizer or cable simulator

ƒSelect the appropriate input and midstage pads

ƒVerify proper flatness control

ƒVerify proper level control

Before You Begin

Before you begin to set-up the amplifier and perform forward-path alignment, please read the following instructions and recommendations.

For proper forward alignment obtain:

ƒRF output levels and tilts of all BLE100s in the forward or return path

ƒRF input level for the BLE100 being set up (from system design or as-built map)

ƒA carrier at the system’s highest frequency. It can be modulated or continuous wave (CW) and should be inserted in the headend at standard video levels. This carrier is used to simplify field set-up.

It is recommended that you:

ƒInstall the system design value SFE-100-* and a high value (20 dB or above) input pad

(JXP IN) before you install or remove the electronics chassis or apply power to the BLE100.

Leave the JXP IN pad location open if a high value pad is not available. A more accurate forward input test point reading is achieved with a high value pad installed.

ƒDo not remove the electronics chassis cover while the BLE100 is powered.

ƒDo not use wire jumpers to bypass the SFE-100-* location.

ƒRecognize that actual pad and SFE-100-* values may differ slightly from their design

values. This is caused by factors such as walkout errors, worst-case data utilization during design and temperature variation from 70°F.

ƒSecure the electronics chassis in the housing base and torque to 18-22 in-lbs. to facilitate heat transfer and avoid damage from overheating.

ƒIf the electronics chassis cover was removed for any reason, shut off the AC power before you reinstall the cover. Verify that all chassis cover screws are tightened to 10–12 in-lbs.

ƒPerform a bench alignment. Pre-aligning the BLE100 response on the bench (Section 4, “Bench Testing”) for a system signature simplifies field alignment.
