Technote 1: Setting up ZA- 431/331 processor modules 

The  ZA-331  and  ZA-431  are  modular  programmable  processors  for  terrestrial  digital,  DAB+ 
and analogue TV. Each processor module, ZA-431 (UHF) or ZA-331(VHF), consists of a super 
selective mono channel filter (FOS). 
 

 

IMPORTANT:

 Layout of the modules must be as shown above. Power Supply(AS-326) must 

be located on the far left hand side and launch amplifier(PA-320) must be the next module in 
the chain.  Please look at the above picture. 
 
 

Programming of Modules 

 
Ensure the following prior to programming: 
 

  It is necessary to connect all the modules to the support frame SP-126 (code 9050100) 

for the system to function.  
 

  It is also recommended that you make the earth connection to the building using a cable 

with a section of at least 4 mm. 

 

  Ensure that you have the Alcad programmer PS-003 with 

firmware version 4.7

 or later. 

 

  Power  supply/Control  cable  must  be  plugged  into  each  module. 

DO  NOT  ADD  OR 

REMOVE 

modules without disconnecting mains supply power from wall outlet.  Always 

disconnect  the  equipment,  and  then  reconnect  it  to  the  mains  supply  so  that  the 
amplifier recognises the new module. Failure to do so can cause equipment to fail.
