PRO

The P-0328 allows you to integrate modulated signals into a digital cable system without using an RF filter. This allows several modulated channels to be integrated with a full digital cable feed without requiring any digital programming to be filtered out.

Features:

! Enables modulation with digital cable systems without using a filter

! Supports 2 modulator inputs

! Run to 8 TV outputs

! Built-in IR repeating system

! Remote control and IR coax adaptor with IR receiver included

! Easy installation

MOD Input

Connect modulator here

Output Status Indicators

Green = CATV, Red = Modulator

Basic Application

Connect the P-0328 as shown and locate it at the main distribution point in the house. The output of the P-0328 will send both CATV and the modulator’s output to the TV location over a single coax cable. Switching between the

CATV and modulator signals is simple: just point the remote at an IR receiver connected to the coax-based IR system and the IR signal will travel back to the

P-0328 and change it to the desired input.

Connecting the Digital Cable Box to the TV

For best results, use a 2-way RF splitter to feed the RF inputs of the CATV box and the TV set. Then use RCA cables to connect the audio/video outputs from the CATV box to the audio/video inputs of the TV.

Expanding the System

The P-0328 comes with one IR coax adaptor which will allow viewing of both

CATV and Mod at one TV location. To view both signals at more TVs, additional IR coax adaptors can be purchased; compatible models are: IR-

4101 or IR-4100 used with an IR-2400. If no IR coax adaptor is used, only

CATV signals will be viewable. To create systems with more than 8 locations, simply split the output of the modulator and the CATV feed, then connect the outputs of the splitters to each P-0328.

Troubleshooting

If your IR system is not working, check to see if the P-0328 is feeding approximately 12 Volts DC onto the coax between the shield and center pin. (Any voltage between 8-12VDC is OK). If there is no voltage between the center pin and shield, check the connectors on each end of the coax to make sure there are no shorts (no shielding touching the center conductor).

If you are using an RF splitter between the modulator and the P-0328 or between the P-0328 and the IR coax adaptor (IR-4101), check to make sure you have approximately 8-12 Volts DC on the coax going into the IR-4101.

If there is no voltage at that point, check the following items:

1. If you are using a splitter on the TV outputs of the P-0328, make sure it is

DC passing. Traditional splitters will short out DC voltage traveling on the coax and prevent your IR system from working.

2. If you are using a splitter on the TV outputs of the P-0328, make sure that there are DC blocks (model 3109) on any output from the RF splitter that will not be connected to an IR-4101. If outputs from the splitter are connected directly to TV sets without going through an IR-4101 or DC block, the system voltage will be shorted out by the input of the TV set.

3. Double check the fittings at the end of your coax cables. If a little bit of shielding is touching the center pin, the voltage will be shorted out and the system will not work.

4. Don’t worry. There are 8 IR engines in the P-0328 one for each TV output. The IR engines have a current limiting circuit. If an engine is shorted (due to a bad connection or a non-DC passing splitter) nothing will be harmed.
