The
U500
should be installed such that the airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised. If arranged in a rack without empty spaces between units,
heat buildup must be
prevented by ensuring that the side vents remain unblocked
, and that there is adequate clearance
around the vent holes.
3.2. Desktop Installation
To set up the
U500
in a desktop environment, place the
U500
on a flat surface where it will not be
subject to spills or impacts. Route cables to the unit so that they will not be hit or pulled, causing
damage to the connectors or to the unit itself. Ensure a sufficient flow of cool air so that the unit's
operating ambient temperature range is not exceeded.
WARNING: FCC-Mandated Suppression of Radio Frequency Emissions
This is a
Class A
product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference for
which the user may need to take mitigating action.
If the Ethernet port has a cable connected to it, that cable must be properly shielded and
grounded to minimize RF emissions that could interfere with nearby equipment.
3.3. Circuit Protection and Earthing
When connecting the
U500
unit to the power supply, review the ratings of all equipment in the circuit to
ensure that the branch circuit, as well as the power source, will not be overloaded. Also make sure that
the unit is properly grounded and/or that a protected power strip is used to attach it to the power supply.
4. Rear Panel Connections
The
UNITY 500
rear panel connections are shown in
Figures 1
and

Smart Card
The
UNITY 500
may be equipped with a smart card slot and an Ethernet connector. The smart card slot
(which conforms to the
ISO 7816
standard) is installed for future encryption updating. Installation of the
smart card is not necessary for proper operation of the
UNITY 500
, including
COMPEL CA
operation.
5. Front Panel Controls and Indicators
The front panel indicators and controls are shown in
Figure 3
and described in
Table 3
.
Figure 3:
Unity 500 Front Panel
The IRD can be controlled via
COMPEL Network Control
, local terminal, modem (remote terminal) and
On-
Screen-Display
push buttons. Normally,
COMPEL
is the primary method of controlling the IRD, while the other
control methods are supplemental.

IRD Status
See
Table 4
for a description of the behavior of the
Status
LED during
Alarms
and
Warnings
.
On-Screen- Display
The
On-Screen-Display
(
OSD
) of IRD may be activated by pressing the
SELECT
push-button
switch on the front panel. It is also automatically activated by certain IRD status conditions, such as
loss of signal.
SELECT
Push button activates (OSD) and selects options displayed.
ENTER
Push button enters options selected on OSD.
6. LED Indications After Power-Up
Within approximately 15 seconds of power up, the IRD should give an indication of stable operation. (It has
initialized all system components and is supplying an operational status.) A steady
Green
LED indicates that it
is locked on a carrier and is capable of producing output (Audio/Video/Data).
If there is some problem with the IRD or the signal it is receiving the LED will begin flashing
Red
for
Alarm
conditions or
Amber
for
Warning
conditions. In general,
Alarms
indicate that the unit cannot produce output,
while
Warnings
indicate that, although output is being produced, there is a problem that could require
attention. The most common conditions that produce
Alarms
or
Warnings
are listed in
Table 4
.
