DVB3030/DVB3030L Digital Video Broadcast Modulator Installation
TM052 - Rev. 3.5 2-1
Section 2 – Installation
2.0 Installation Requirements
The DVB3030/DVB3030L can be installed within any standard 19-inch equipment cabinet or
rack, and requires 1 RU mounting space (1.75 inches) vertically and 17 inches of depth.
Including cabling, a minimum of 20-inches of rack depth is required. The rear panel is designed
to have power enter from the left and IF cabling enter from the right when viewed from the rear
of the unit. Data and control cabling can enter from either side although they are closer to the
center. The unit can be placed on a table or suitable surface if required.
There are no user-serviceable parts or configuration settings located
inside the DVB3030 chassis. There is a potential shock hazard internally at
the power supply module. DO NOT open the DVB3030 chassis under any
circumstances.
Before initially applying power to the unit, it is a good idea to disconnect
the transmit output from the operating ground station equipment. This is
especially true if the current DVB3030 configuration settings are unknown,
where incorrect settings could disrupt existing communications traffic.
2.1 Unpacking
The DVB3030/DVB3030L Modulator was carefully packaged to avoid damage and should arrive
complete with the following items for proper installation:
1. DVB3030/3030L Unit.
2. Power Cord, 6-foot with applicable AC connector.
3. Installation and Operation Manual.
2.2 Removal and Assembly
Carefully unpack the unit and ensure that all of the above items are in the carton. If the Prime
AC power available at the installation site requires a different power cord/AC connector, then
arrangements to receive the proper device will be necessary before proceeding with the
installation.
The DVB3030 Modulator is shipped fully assembled. It does not require removal of the covers
for any purpose in installation. The only replaceable assembly in the unit is the data interface
and is not intended to be accomplished in the field. Should the power cable AC connector be of
the wrong type for the installation, either the cable or the power connector end should be
replaced. The power supply itself is designed for universal application using from 100 to 240
VAC, 50 – 60 Hz, 0.5 A.
