This system is programmed by the Universal Programmer 7234. The
programming unit has a menu with various options which the user can scroll
button and which allow the following functions:
through by pressing the
- Configuration of the system’s UHF inputs (number of filters per input):
- Switching off of the VHF and/or FM inputs.
- S elect the channels for each filter (max. 5 consecutive channels per filter).
- Set the UHF output level (it determines the VHF and FM levels).
- Set the UHF equalisation slope.
- Set the IF configuration (2).

Once connected, the programmer receives the previously set parameters from
the Avant unit (memorised channel in each cluster, input configuration, output
level . . .).
T he output levels of the filters are automatically balanced with a certain band
compensation slope.
The UHF inputs also disposes
of an automatic powering system that is able
to withstand short circuits.
The gain is regulated by an automatic attenuation system in both FM (1) and
BIII/DAB inputs.
The amplifier disposesof
a broadband input (47-862 MHz), intended for
possible expansions in the system, such as the inclusion of a satellite headend or TDT’s.
T he amplification with sloped gain between 950-2150 MHz , is a response
to the most recent installation needs, as is the incorporation of digital
television in communal TV installations, and it reinforces its use in ICT
(Spanish regulations) distributions.
(2)
T he mixing of the MATV band and the IF band (2) is carried out by a filtering
system that guarantees the absence of interferences between channels from
both bands.

The programming unit begins by accessing the “UHF CONFIG” menu so that
by pressing the menu selection button , we can scroll through the different
options by pressing
the button and with the
buttons we can select the
desired parameters.
Once all of the system’s options have been selected, press the adjustment
button for a long time (this switches the Avant’s green adjustment LED on)
and the unit automatically records and sets up all the parameters selected with
the programming unit.
Note: To carry out the level adjustment process, it is necessary
to terminate the two outputs of the unit with a 75 ohms
impedance (ref. 4061), without needing to load the unused inputs, see fig. on page 17.
The adjustment button can be pressed (long press) at any time independently
of the option of the menu the Avant is (except in the Copy and Load settings
menu).

Using “Reset” button
T he “Avant” unit can be programmed before the installation is carried out
and without an input signal, and the levels can be adjusted later without the
use of the programmer, by using the “reset” button located to the left of the
programmer’s connector.
To do so, please follow these steps:
S elect the adequate parameters for the installation using the programmer
(channels, output level, equalisation slope ...) and press the adjustment
button (long press). As the programming is carried out without the input
signal, the adjustment will stop when it does not detect a UHF signal. The
programmer can then be unplugged, as although the adjustment process has
been interrupted, the data selected has been memorised by the unit.
A
fterwards, once completed the installation by connecting the inputs to
be used and loading the output with 75 ohms, the user simply has to press
the “Reset” button and the unit will carry out the adjustment process. The
adjustment of the “Avant” unit via the “Reset” button is carried out in the
same way as with the programmer, although in this case, the process will not
stop if the units detect an error in the input levels and the red error LED will
only light up when there is an error in the level of any of the filters.
T herefore, if the unit has been programmed with the desired parameters for
the installation (channels, output level, equalisation slope ...), when the reset
button is pressed, the “Avant” unit will carry out an automatic adjustment of
the levels in the same way as when the programmer’s adjustment button
is pressed and hold. The green LED will light up indicating that are being
adjusted all channel (that the unit already have in memory) levels for UHF,
FM, VHF and IF(1) amplifiers, while maintaing the input configurations, the
equalisation slope and the output levels that it had already configured.

Troubleshooting
Channels are not adjusted to the programmed output level: Check that the
programmed filter for the highest output channel has both presence of signal
and the right level, since this value is taken as a reference for the adjustment of
the selected output level.
to get these channels equalised with the rest of the adjusted channels. If the
level applied is below the indicated range, these channels will have a lower level
than the rest; on the other hand, if the level is higher there will be disturbances
due to the intermodulation of channels.
The channels entering through the input of BIII are regulated incorrectly:
If we are entering only one channel through this input, its level would be set
5dB below the UHF level channels. But if, with the same level, we introduce
several channels, the Avant will treat them like a higher-level single channel,
thus reducing the level adjusted of all of them regarding to the one it would be
obtained for just one channel.
A high/low level detected in an input or a filter: The adjustment process
begins with the verification of the signal levels introduced in the FM (2), BIII input
and finally with the verification of the programmed filters. The indication that
the FM (2) or BIII level is low when we do not apply the signal in these inputs will
not affect the rest of the selected channels.
We must remember that the level indications in the FM (2), BIII inputs and filters
shown on the programmer’s display are a reference for the adjustment process,
being the unit able to balance channels, where a level error has been found,
whenever input levels do not present large variations as regards the maximum
specified range.
If we need to amplify several channels coming from other processing units, we
recommend entering them on the input “Broadband (47-862 MHz)”.
Channels in the broadband input are not equalised as regards filter:
The “broadband” input amplifies signals coming from satellite receivers, the
recommended level for this input is between 70 and 74 dBµV (for UHF channels)
