e. Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3mm) copper or equivalent, when a separate antenna grounding
electrode is used.
NOTE TO THE CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER
THIS REMINDER IS PROVIDED TO CALL THE CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER’S ATTENTION TO ARTICLE 820-22
OF THE NEC THAT PROVIDES GUIDELINES FOR PROPER GROUNDING AND, IN PARTICULAR, SPECIFIES
THAT THE CABLE GROUND SHALL BE CONNECTED TO THE GROUNDING SYSTEM OF THE BUILDING, AS CLOSE
TO THE POINT OF CABLE ENTRY AS PRACTICAL
2.4.2 DC Voltage Requirement
You may need to have the receiver supply DC voltage to either an LNB or a block down-converter (used after an LNA).
The user must change the receiver’s LNB ON/OFF settings using the front panel display. For directions on how to use the
front panel display, see Section 3.2 of this manual. The user can also change the receivers LNB ON/OFF settings using the
Receiver Web Interface, described in Section 4, or remote Monitor and Control Interface, described in Section 6.
In installations where another receiver receives the L-Band (950-2150MHz) signal directly from the satellite dish, then you may
use a splitter with DC blocking circuitry to get the signal to the XDS-PRO receiver. In this case, set the LNB Voltage setting
to OFF.
2.4.3 Warnings about Shorting DC
Caution!
If the LNB Voltage mode is enabled, be careful not to short the signal. The voltage on
this line is approxi18V DC.
If the DC Voltage is shorted during installation, transient voltage may damage the Demodulator. In the case of a short, over-
current protection circuitry will shut down the LNB supply. When this occurs, it is important to disconnect the receiver as soon
as possible. If there is a “dead” short in the cable connecting the receiver to the satellite dish, the unit will not function properly.
Remove the power cord from the rear of the unit and then check the cable connecting the receiver to the satellite dish to make
sure it has not been damaged and is installed correctly. Finally, reinstall the power cord and proceed with unit setup.
2.5 Connecting to the Ethernet Network
The XDS-PRO receivers are specifi cally designed to receive audio broadcasts via satellite transmissions. It is also equipped
with an “internet” only mode in which it can receive audio data and receiver updates via its Ethernet port (see Section 2.5.8
for further details.) For this feature to be functional, the receiver must be connected to a network router or directly connected
to an internet connection. This portion of the User’s Guide will also provide instructions on setting up your receiver to connect
to the internet. If you are unsure about any of the values required below, please contact your local network administrator for
assistance.
