INSTALLATION AND WIRING:

General installation and wiring:

1.- For installations of several modules (head-end) or a

single module, mount the transmodulator module to a

wall chassis (CHM TR) or to a rackmount chassis (CHR

TR).

To do this, mount the supplied metal piece (COD:

251008) on the upper rear part of the module as shown

in the image.

Important note: If installing a head-end with several modules, always place the power

supply to the left of the modules to be installed.

In the event of wishing to install the module as a further element of a head-end consisting of other CM

series modules it is very important to follow the instructions below.

•Connect the different modules in series using of the supplied power cable and then the power supply,

which must always be to the left of the head-end.

•Check the consumption of the modules. In general, up to 5 modules can be connected with an FA 524

power supply. However, it is recommended to check the power consumptions of the modules to be

installed.
