The  DSIM-SG  modules  will  be  configured  at  the  factory  to  have  the  default  channel  88  digital 

(609.00  MHz)  pilot  channel  programmed.  The  DSIM  controller  is  used  to  set  the  DSIM-SG 

modules  to  the  customer  selected  pilot  channel.  In  the  setup  of  the  DSIM-SG  module  the  pilot 

channel  that  is  programmed  into  the  controller  is  downloaded  into  the  memory  of  the  DSIM-SG 

module. The pilot channel setting in the DSIM-SG module can be changed in the future by simply 

using a controller with the new desired pilot channel programmed. 

 

 

3. DSIM Mode Definitions 

 

Operation Mode 

Definition 

 
 

MGC 

In the Manual Gain Control (MGC) mode the DSIM automatic gain 
control is turned off. 
The MGC mode is used during the setup of the station so that no 
gain adjustments are made when the levels and slopes are setup. 

 

AGC 

In Automatic Gain Control (AGC) mode will make gain adjustments 
to the station based on the level changes that occur on the pilot 
channel. 

 
 
 
 
 
 

 

TGC 

In Thermal Gain Control (TGC) mode the DSIM will make gain 
adjustments based on the changes in the internal temperature of 
the station. In the TGC mode there is a selection of 9, 18 or 27 dB 
for the amount of cable that is in front of the station. The dB of 
cable setting is used to more accurately predict actual losses that 
occur in the cable with the changes in the outside temperature. 

 

Note: 

Thermal control operational mode should not be used in 

amplifiers that are pedestal mounted for underground networks. 
These units operate on the assumption that cable temperature will 
change at the same rate as amplifier temperature, while amplifiers 
mounted in pedestals will vary in temperature far greater than the 
underground cable temperature.
