32   Chapter 06 – Measuring range 

10911 V01.10 

The measuring receiver is tuned as described in “Frequency input”. The difference when using the UNICABLE control is 
that the desired transponder frequency is converted to the centre frequency of a UB slot in the UNICABLE unit. 

This means that the measuring receiver must send the transponder frequency to the UNICABLE unit as a UNICABLE 
command and then tune itself to the correct UB slot centre frequency. 

Whenever there is a new tuning process, the entire UNICABLE control command is sent to the UNICABLE unit. Since 
UNICABLE enables up to eight receivers to be connected to a single cable, collisions may occur between the connected 
receivers during control. If this situation arises when using the measuring receiver, send the control command again by 
pressing 

ESC

 and 

ENTER

 in sequence.  

The following figure shows the device in UNICABLE mode with the LNB menu open. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wideband RF mode 

As described above, these UNICABLE units operate with a single oscillator frequency and the low and high bands com-
bined on one band. This reduces the number of SAT IF levels to 2 (vertical and horizontal). If the device is in this mode, 
vertical (V) or horizontal (H) polarisation can be set via 

LNB

 > SAT-IF-Layer. This also switches the measuring receiver to 

RF frequency input mode. A transponder frequency of between 10,700 GHz and 12,750 GHz can be entered. 

Scan SCR-ADR 

This menu is only shown when the device is not tuned (default status). When this menu is opened, the number of 
available UB slots (SCR-ADR) on the connected converter is determined, and they are displayed along with their center 
frequencies. This may take a few seconds.
