Installing the HLT 7000

2.4 Fiber Cable ConnectionsEach Optical Transmitter is supplied with an accessory kit that includes two (2) SC/APC fiber jumpers.

• When cleaning ends or connectors, never look directly into the beam path, even if you think the laser is off.

• Never look directly into the face of the fiber using optical viewing devices such as magnifying lenses or eye loupes.

• Always view the fiber end from a side angle to avoid focusing the laser beam through the magnifier. Optical viewing instruments will signifi-cantly increase the radiation hazard to your eyes.

For optical installation follow the steps below:

1. Make sure the laser ON/OFF switch at the back of the module is turned OFF.

2. Remove the plastic cover from the SC/APC connectors and store them in a clean plastic bag for future use.

3. Loosen the locking screw and move the safety shutter. See Figure 2-2.

4. Remove the protection covers from the connectors or the back panel connectors.

5. Carefully insert the plug into the optical connector at the rear panel of the module. Push the plug in until a click sound is heard.

Figure 2-2 Safety Shutter

DANGER!Invisible laser radiation when open or fiber disconnected. Avoid direct exposure to the Laser Beam. Direct viewing of the beam can cause serious eye damage and possible loss of vision.

NOTE!Never operate the system with the fiber disconnected or broken.!

NOTE!Whenever a connector is opened, a plastic dust cover must beplaced over it.

Installing the HLT 7000

2.5 Connecting the RF Broadband InputThe Optical Transmitter module is connected to the broadband RF source by means of a 75 ohm impedance coaxial cable terminated with a male “F” type connector. Install the “F” connector to the coaxial cable according to the instructions that accom-pany the “F” connector.

Connect the prepared coaxial cable to the female “F” connector marked “RF IN” located on the back panel of the module. Refer to Figure 2-3.

Powering Up

Chapter 3

Power Up

This chapter covers:

• Power start up.

• HLP 4200 System Ready flow chart.

3.1 Power UpNever operate the system with fiber disconnected or broken.

• Never look directly into the face of the fiber using optical viewing devices such as magnifying lenses or eye loupes.

• Always view the fiber end from a side angle to avoid focusing the laser beam through the magnifier.

• Optical viewing instruments will significantly increase the radiation hazard to your eyes.

DANGER! Avoid direct exposure to the Laser Beam. Direct viewing of the beam can cause serious eye damage and possible loss of vision. Invisible laser radiation present when fiber is open or fiber disconnected.

NOTE!When cleaning ends or connectors, never look directly into the beam path, even if youthink the laser is off.

!

CAUTION!If the platform is already in service, do not TURN OFF the power to the platform wheninstalling the HLT 7000 or service will be interrupted.

Powering Up

1. If this is an initial installation depress the power button on the power supply (Normally, this would be the CPS 4200 power supply installed in the HLP 4200 platform).

2. Turn ON the laser ON/OFF switch in the back.

3. If the unit is operating normally with proper input power, the status LED on the front panel will illuminate green.

The HLP 4200 WD (with display) will read “HLP 4200 SYSTEM READY” message as shown in Figure 3-1. The operator can then walk through the transmitter menus by following the steps described in the following:

1. Depressing any key on the front panel will show a message on the front panel that reads “MODULE SECTION”.

2. Pressing <ENTER> when the above message is shown leads the operator to a menu displaying a list of connected modules by using <UP> and <DOWN> keys from the keyboard.

The module messages show the module position as the first field in the message, the left most being number 1. The select LED of the currently selected module is illuminated.

When the transmitter being installed is displayed on the front panel, pressing <ENTER> will lead the operator to the transmitter menus.

3. Refer to the User Display Interface Chart Figure 3-1.

NOTE!This module has been designed so it may be plugged in while the platform is powered on.!

User Interface Options

Chapter 4User Interface Options

This chapter describes:

• User Interface Options.

• The User Interface with HLT 7000 Front Panel.

• The HLP 4200 WD (optional Display) and Keyboard.

• User Interface with NETWatch Element Management System.

• Transmitter Menus.

4.1 User Interface OptionsThe transmitter provides three types of options for the User Interface. The different options are dependent upon the type of system configuration the customer has acquired. A brief description of each option is given.

4.2 User Interface with HLT 7000 Front PanelThe Interface from the front panel of the transmitter provides the capability to set up the transmitter. This is achieved via a four position switch (AGC, Remote, MGC and Pilot) in conjunction with an RF step attenuating adjustment switch.

Setup SwitchThe four setup switch positions are AGC, Remote, MGC and Pilot. The Mode switch should be in the “Remote” position. The function of each switch position is listed below and is shown in Figure 4-1.

• Automatic Gain Control (AGC)This position Automatically Controls the Gain of the RF signal within a range of -10dB. The AGC mode is recommended when the corresponding receiver in the system is operating in AGC mode and the channel loading is constant. The “Auto” LED lights up when the Setup switch is in AGC Mode.

• Remote ModeThe system state and pad levels are controlled by the platform controller through the HLP 4200 WD buttons/display and/or the NETWatch Element Management System Software. The step adjuster is disabled in the remote mode position.

• Manual Gain Control (MGC)This position is used in conjunction with the Step Adjust Switch during the initial setup of the system. MGC allows the RF input signal level to be optimized for a given set of system performance requirements.

User Interface Options

• Pilot ModeThis position is used in conjunction with the Step Adjust Switch during initial setup. The pilot level should be set at 10 dB below the carrier level. This can be determined by means of a spectrum analyzer connected to the RF Monitor Port on the front of the HLT 7000.

Step Adjust SwitchThe adjuster switch is used in conjunction with the Setup switch to adjust the RF and Pilot pads. The adjustable step attenuator has 10 steps for each full turn of the screw-driver. Each step is equal to 0.1 dB and each full turn equals 1 dB.

There are three LEDs on the front panel. The “Status” LED is illuminated red when there is an alarm on the unit, otherwise it is illuminated green. The “Select” LED is illuminated whenever the module is selected via the front panel of the HLP 4200WD. The “Auto” LED is illuminated if the RF level control is in AGC mode.

Transmitter Setup

Chapter 5Transmitter Setup

This chapter describes:

• Factory Setup of the Transmitter.

• The Transmitter Front Panel.

• Transmitter Setup with HLP 4200 WD Display.

• NETWatch Element Management System Setup.

• Performance Testing.

5.1 Transmitter Setup

The Transmitter is factory set to provide optimal performance for 80 NTSC or 80 Pal channel loading and an RF level of 18 dB mV/ch. The RF level can be adjusted to provide alternative performance characteristics defined by the operator.

Availability of the options is dependent upon the type of system configuration the cus-tomer has acquired. The transmitter setup can be changed by using any of the following three options:

• Setup using the Transmitter Front Panel.

• Setup using the HLP 4200WD platform.

• Setup using the NETWatch Element Management System Software.

If the front panel Setup switch is in any position other than “Remote” then the RF level control method will be defined by the front panel position switch.

If the front panel setup switch is in the “Remote” position, then the RF level control method will be defined by either the front panel display or the NMS can be used to choose between AGC and MGC.

The front panel Step Adjust switch is active only when the Setup switch is in the “MGC” or “PILOT” positions.

Page 32: HLT 7000 Optical Transmitter Product Manual - nonstopnonstop.com.mx/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/HLT7000D.pdf · HLT 7000 Optical Transmitter Product Manual Document Part No: 700-0051910

Transmitter Setup

Each setup interface allows the operator the following two options:

1. Keep the total RF input power to the electronics constant within its control range irrespective of the RF level and number of channels injected in the transmitter.

2. Let the RF level into the electronics vary in case the RF input level input into the electronics varies.

The two methods of RF level control are hereafter described as Auto Gain Control (AGC) and Manual Gain Control (MGC) respectively. Alternate terminology used in this document for AGC and MGC modes are Auto and Manual respectively.

5.2 Transmitter Setup Using the Transmitter Front Panel

To automatically adjust the RF level in the unit, move the front panel setup switch to AGC position. See Figure 1-4.

To manually set the value of the RF Pad, move the front panel select switch to the MGC position and use the step adjuster to change the RF Pad value to the desired attenuation.

To adjust the value of the Pilot Pad, move the Setup switch to Pilot position and use a screwdriver to adjust the step adjuster (marked Setup), to change the setting of the Pilot attenuator. After adjustments are completed, the switch should be moved to the “Remote” position.

To change the RF Level control to AGC move the switch to “AGC” and back to “Remote.” To change the RF control to MGC, move the switch to “MGC” and then to “Remote.”

Each clockwise movement of the step adjust switch increases the attenuation by 0.1 dB. Each counter clockwise movement decreases the applicable attenuator as deter-mined by the position of the front panel Setup switch, by 0.1 dB.

Once the desired setting has been reached, move the switch to the “Remote” position. This will disable the setup switch and prevent any in-advertent changes.

NOTE!Leaving the switch in any position other than “Remote” will prevent all other setup interfaces from changing the method of RF level control.!

Transmitter Setup

5.3 Transmitter Setup Using the HLP 4200 WD Display

Using the Transmitter Display menu, scroll to the Transmitter Adjustments menu and press <ENTER>.

The Setup Menu allows the operator either to make adjustments to the RF and Pilot Atten-uators or to set the attenuators to factory values.

Adjust the RF and Pilot Levels

Pressing <ENTER> while the following menu choice is being displayed will lead to two different menus depending on the position of the Setup Switch at the front panel.

If the Setup Switch is in the “Remote” position, the operator can choose the RF Gain Control mode by using <SET+UP/DN> while the first item of the following menu is displayed.

“MGC/AGC CONTROL <SET+UP/DN>FOR AGC/MGC”

“<ENTER> TO EXIT RF ADJUSTMENT”

Pressing <ENTER> after selecting the correct mode of operation displays the following menu.

“RF PAD=XX.X dB <SET+UP/DN> TO CHANGE”

“PILOT LVL SHOULD BE 10 dB BELOW CARRIER”

“PILOT PAD=XX.XdB <SET+UP/DN> TO CHANGE”

“<ENTER> TO EXIT RF ADJSUTMENT”

• If the Setup switch is in a position other than “Remote”, its position will automatically determine the gain control mode. The following menu will be displayed when press-ing <ENTER>.

“RF GAIN CONTROL MODE: AGC/MGC”

“RF PAD=XX.X dB <SET+UP/DN>TO CHANGE”

“PILOT LVL SHOULD BE 10 dB BELOW CARRIER”

“PILOT PAD=XX.X dB <SET+UP/DN>TO CHANGE”

“<ENTER> TO EXIT RF ADJSUTMENT”

The difference between the above two menus is the additional line in the second menu that simply reminds the operator about the active RF gain control mode.

Transmitter Setup

In the AGC mode of operation, the RF input level supplied to the unit is kept constant by changing the RF PAD as needed. The pilot level is maintained at 10 dB below the carrier level.

In the Manual mode of operation, the RF and Pilot Pad settings are maintained at whatever level they were left by the operator.

In either mode of operation, the RF Pad setting can be modified by using the <SET+UP/DN> key combination while the following menu item is displayed.

“RF PAD=XX.X dB<SET+UP/DN>TO CHANGE”

The next item in the menu is an advisory note to the operator to set the Pilot Pad such that the Pilot level is 10 dB below the carrier.

The next menu item shown below allows the operator to change the setting of the Pilot Pad.

“PILOT PAD=XX.X db <SET+UP/DN>TO CHANGE”

If the pilot signal is not desired, the Pilot Pad can be increased to 99.9 db.

Factory Settings Recall

Pressing <ENTER> at the “Switch to Factory Settings” menu will display one of the following two choices, (1) Remote or (2) any other position then remote, to the opera-tor depending upon the position of the Setup switch on the front panel.

1. If the Setup switch is in the “Remote” position the following menu will be dis-played.

“NOTE: ALL SETTINGS WILL BE CHANGED<ENTER>”

“SELECT RF GAIN CONTROL MODE NEXT<ENTER>”

“MGC/AGC CONTROL <SET+UP/DN>FOR AGC/MGC”

“<ESC> TO ABORT OR <SET+UP/DN> TO SWITCH”

Maintenance

Chapter 6Maintenance

This chapter describes how to:

• Clean the Fiber Optic Connector.

• Fan Replacement.

• What to do in case of Problems.

6.1 Cleaning the Fiber Optic Connector

As a rule, clean the mating connector before connecting it to the transmitter. Clean the Transmitter connector as well. The cleaning procedure of the transmitter connector is explained in steps 1 through 6. Refer to the Figure 6-1.

1. Turn off the transmitter.

DANGER!Invisible laser radiation when open or fiber disconnected. Avoid direct exposure to the Laser Beam. Direct viewing of the beam can cause serious eye damage and possible loss of vision.

Copyright © 2001 Harmonic Inc. 6-1

Maintenance

2. Remove the optical connector plate (including the shutter) by unscrewing the two screws. See Figure 6-1.

Figure 6-1 Optical Connector Plate Screws

3. Pull the plate away about 3” maximum to prevent breakage of fiber and release the optical connector from the adaptor.

4. Fold a piece of dry lens cleaning paper in half twice to obtain a 4 ply thickness.

5. Lay the connector on the lens cleaning paper with the tip touching the paper. Pull the connector across the paper to wipe the tip.

6. If necessary, use one drop of High Grade Isopropyl Alcohol to wet part of the paper. Drag the connector across the wet area to reduce residue on the connector surface. Then drag the connector tip across the dry area.

7. Assemble the connector back to the adaptor plate. Assemble the plate back to the transmitter back panel. The mating optical connector has to be cleaned as explained in steps 6 through 7.

Optical Plate Screws

WARNING!Never use a clean air product to spray air into the optical adapter or on the connector end surface. The air causes dust to condense on top of the optics waveguide that is very difficult to remove. Never clean a connector when laser light is passing through it.
