Amplifier Setup

5Turn the auto level control potentiometer (ADU) (illustrated in Figure 2-8) fully clockwise and then reduce to obtain the level obtained in Step 9 under Manual Gain Control.

ADU/QADU Pads and Levels

This subsection provides information regarding the proper ADU/QADU padding requirements for the BLE100.

A JXP-*B pad is installed in the input line to the ADU/QADU location. This pad adjusts the ADU/QADU input level for the standard application of the BLE100. You can change this pad depending on the operational output of the BLE100.

In the BLE100 analog ADU circuit, a JXP-7B pad is generally recommended. This is the standard ADU pad value as shipped from the factory and is appropriate for an amplifier output level range from +43 dBmV to +49 dBmV at 550 MHz. Use a JXP-1B pad for output levels below +43 dBmV and a JXP-11B for output levels above +49 dBmV.

The standard pad for the QADU is a JXP-0B. This pad value works for a BLE100 output level from +38 dBmV to +47 dBmV at 550 MHz. Use a JXP-7B when operating above +47 dBmV at 550 MHz.

Motorola does not recommend operating the BLE100 above +46 dBmV at 550 MHz.

Use of an ADU or QADU is recommended for improved output level stability although you can operate the BLE100 in the manual mode. Select manual mode by placing the drive control select jumper, illustrated in Figure 2-8, in the MAN position. The gain of the BLE100 is then determined by the potentiometer marked MAN on the amplifier cover.

Return Path Alignment

The following subsections describe the BLE100 alignment procedures required for proper performance in the return path.

Before You Begin

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

For proper return alignment obtain:

ƒRF alignment levels and insertion points for all BLE100s

ƒRF reference output level of the headend optical receivers Equipment required for return-path alignment includes:

ƒFull complement of JXP-*B pads and Starline Return Equalizers (SRE-*-*)

ƒReverse signal generator — must produce at least one signal within the return bandpass and have variable output

ƒReturn sweep or alignment equipment

It is recommended that you:

ƒDo not remove the electronics chassis cover when the BLE100 is powered

ƒDo not use wire jumpers to bypass the SRE-*-* location
