Wiring Guide Recommended Pre-wire Schemes

WIRING GUIDE

Structured wiring cables run from the wall boxes in the various rooms of the house directly to the structured wiring enclosure (called home run wiring). Two types of wire are used for communication and entertainment: CAT-5 or CAT-5E, made up of 4-UTP (unshielded twisted pairs), and RG-6 coaxial. CAT-5 or CAT-5E 4-UTP wires handle voice and data for up to four telephone lines. CAT-5 or CAT-5E wires can have two to four unshielded twisted pairs. Square D recommends four pairs. RG-6 coaxial wires handle television (antenna or cable), satellite dish, cable modem, or AV modulator signals. Refer to the following table for the recommended wiring schemes. These wires run from the enclosure to the locations indicated in the table. Recommended Pre-wire Schemes Typical Room

Wiring Guide

NOTES: If high-speed Internet service is brought to the home over the telephone lines (DSL), the incoming telephone line should be connected to the SDM46P and then jumped to the SDM8D through the DSL modem (as shown in the figure below). If the Internet service provider (ISP) allows multiple IP addresses to be leased to one modem, then the high-speed Internet service may be available to all the computers in the home using the Multi-Link Ethernet Hub. In this situation, the high-speed Internet line will jump from the SDM8D to the “uplink” port in the SDM5DE. All the computers connected to the Ethernet hub must have firewall software or hardware installed since they all will have access to the high-speed line at the same time. If the ISP does not allow multiple IP addresses to be leased to one modem, then replace the Multi-Link Ethernet Hub in the figure below with a router (purchased separately).

Video Hubs (Models SDM38VHIR and SDM38VBIR) The video hubs work like a zero-loss splitter and signal combiner. The signals that are put on the antenna or cable television input will appear on the outputs with about 3dB of gain. The modulator inputs will automatically appear on the outputs at an FCC legal level. Features:

SDM38VHIR

• SDM38VHIR is a high headroom amplifier video hub used with CATV systems or antennas for off-air digital and analog television signals. The amplifier handles signal differences between high-powered analog VHF (off-air television channels 2 through 13) and low-powered digital UHF (off-air television channels 14 through 69). Use SDM38VBIR if CATV services require a return path. • SDM38VBIR is a bi-directional amplifier video hub used with CATV services using pay-per-view boxes and interactive cable and has a 5–42 return path. The bi-directional system is not for use with off-air antennas. • Bi-directional with a 5–42 MHz return path for pay-per-view boxes (SDM38VBIR only) • Distributes CATV (SDM38VBIR or SDM38VHIR) or antenna (SDM38VHIR only) to eight televisions • Maximum 150 ft (46 m) coaxial cable run from all eight outputs • HDTV compatible

Product Description IR Repeating System

Section 7–Video Distribution Hubs

The high headroom amplifier and bi-directional amplifier video hubs (models SDM38VBIR and SDM38VHIR) have integrated 5-volt IR engines that pass IR information, allowing control of any video device from any location by simply adding an IR target (model SDM1VIR), an IR emitter (model SDM2VIR), and a set top modulator to the system. For example, when the remote control is pointed at the IR target located at the television, the IR pulses are repeated by the emitter, which is controlling the DVD player in another location. IR information and power from the set top modulator are passed through port B only. When the modulator is connected to port A, IR remote control passing capability is not available and the video hub must be powered. All of the television ports can have targets connected. See the following figure.

Section 7–Video Distribution Hubs

Troubleshooting Situation

Possible Solution

No picture

Check that the television and the modulator are tuned to the same channel. For example, if the modulator is broadcasting on UHF channel 16, make sure the television is on UHF 16 rather than CATV16. UHF 16 and CATV 16 are at different frequencies.

Weak UHF channel

If the television has a separate UHF input, be sure that it is connected.

Herringbone interference on modulator channel (diagonal lines)

• Move the modulator channel to another number. A low pass filter might need to be added to remove the cable company noise. • If the filter does not work, add a DC-block to remove common mode interference.

Herringbone interference on many channels, including modulator channels (disappears when you remove the CATV/antenna feed)

Use a variable attenuator and try to find a signal level where the interference just disappears. Sometimes, the problem is one station is stronger than the rest. In this case, attenuating all of the signals with a simple attenuator may cause the desired stations to be weak (snowy). Reduce the strength of only the offending station. A common FM trap will help if the problem is a nearby FM tower. If the problem is a nearby television station, usually the station management can provide suitable filters.

Audio volume is low

If you have a mono source, connect it to both right and left inputs using an RCA ‘Y’ connector. For proper audio level, both right and left inputs must be used.

No color on modulated channels

The incorrect cable standard might be in use. Not all televisions can accommodate the 1.25MHz frequency difference between the HRC and IRC cable standards.

FCC Requirements These products comply with FCC requirements. A system using these devices will comply with FCC requirements. Use only video modulators and modulator combiners that comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules and have 25 dBmV maximum output levels. Failure to do so may void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. The high headroom amplifier video hub (model SDM38VHIR) is suitable for use with an antenna or with CATV systems. The bi-directional amplifier video hub (model SDM38VBIR) is suitable for use with CATV systems only and has a bi-directional return path. The video amplifier hub (model SDM16VAB) is suitable for use with an antenna or CATV systems and also incorporates a bi-directional return path.

Connecting the Channel Injector to a Camera or Video Wall Plate The channel injectors can be connected to a camera or a video wall plate. The video wall plate can be connected to the channel injector by two methods. The first method connects the camera or video wall plate with CAT-5 or CAT-5E cable directly to a CAT-5/5E data hub (model SDM8D) 110 punch-down block and then connects an RJ-45 patch cord (included) from the data hub RJ-45 jack to the channel injector. The second method connects the camera or video wall plate directly to the eight-position terminal block on the channel injector.

Section 9–Modulators

The channel injector was designed to work with CAT-5 or CAT-5E wiring. Although the system will function with quad wire, CAT-5 or CAT-5E wiring will deliver the highest quality picture and allows the use of an automatic line length sensor and picture compensator. See the figure below.

Product Description Set Top Modulators (Models SDM21VT, SDM21VTST, SDM41VT, and SDM41VTST) The set top digital modulators are frequency-agile and installer friendly. They are digitally tuned and convert any baseband video and audio signal to a user-selected UHF, or Ultraband CATV channel. They have push-button programming for setting the desired channel. They provide an output signal level of 25 dBmV.

Section 9–Modulators

SDM21VT and SDM41VT (Front view)

SDM21VT and SDM41VT (Back view)

Each set top modulator has a 5-volt IR engine and connections for IR emitters. When the modulators are used with a video distribution hub (models SDM38VHIR or SDM38VBIR), they allow remote television locations to have IR control of connected video components, such as DVDs, VCRs, and satellite receivers. An IR target (model SDM1VIR) would be required at each television location. An IR emitter (model SDM2VIR) would be required at each device being controlled. The set top modulators offer loop-through capability. Jumpers (75 ohm termination) are located on the side of each unit. When the terminator is removed, output signals can be looped to a local monitor or VCR. The MTS (Multichannel Television Sound) stereo sound modulators encode both audio channels using the MTS stereo standard. Stereo and surround sound information will be received by any MTS compatible television receiver.

Include one unused channel between modulated channels.The display will blink if you have chosen a channel that cannot be used.

Herringbone interference on modulator channel (diagonal lines)

• Move the modulator channel to another number. A low pass filter might need to be added to remove the cable company noise. • If the filter does not work, add a DC-block to remove common mode interference.

Use a variable attenuator and try to find a signal level where the interference just disappears. Sometimes, the problem is one station is stronger than the rest. In this case, attenuating all of the signals with a simple attenuator may Herringbone interference on many channels, including modulator channels cause the desired stations to be weak (snowy). Reduce the strength of the (disappears when you remove the CATV/antenna feed) only offending station. A common FM trap will help if the problem is a nearby FM tower. If the problem is a nearby television station, usually the station management can provide suitable filters. Audio volume is low

If you have a mono source, connect it to both right and left inputs using an RCA ‘Y’ connector. For proper audio level, both right and left inputs must be used.

No stereo (models SDM21VTST and SDM41VTST)

When using the television outputs to send audio to a home theater system, make sure the television is in the stereo mode for external speakers. Consult the television manual.

No color on modulated channels

The incorrect cable standard might be in use. Not all televisions can accommodate the 1.25MHz frequency difference between the HRC and IRC cable standards.

FCC Requirements These products comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: these devices may not cause harmful interference, and these devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Installation Requirements FCC classifies this product under Part 15 of its rules as a "television interface device.” Systems designed using television interface devices have the following legal requirements: 1. The modulated channel signal strength may not exceed 15.56 dBmV at any television (Federal Regulation 47CFR15.115(b)(1)(i)). 2. If an antenna is used in the system, the modulated channel signal strength may not exceed -51 dBmV at the antenna input port (Federal Regulation 47CFR15.115(c)(4)). NOTE FOR INSTALLER: The system you design must comply with these regulations. As the installer, you are responsible. The easiest way to be fully compliant is to use a Square D video hub. Square D video hubs have the necessary isolation from the modulator input ports to the antenna input port and gain characteristic from the modulator input ports to the television output ports. These features will make your modulator installation comply with the above requirements. The typical installation shown on page 45 is fully compliant. The channel injectors have the necessary characteristics to comply with the requirements as designed without additional accessories. The model SDM11VMH is suitable for use with an antenna or with CATV systems.The model SDM11VMB is suitable for use with CATV systems only.

Technical Information TECHNICAL INFORMATION Programming Programming New Channels The new channel selected should be an unused channel. It should have no interference or trace of pictures, just “snow.” There must also be one unused channel above and below the selected channel to avoid interference. Programming a new channel with the channel injector (models SDM11VMH/SDM11VMB) and set top modulators (models SDM21VT/SDM21VTST and SDM41VT/SDM41VTST) is simple with the push button programming feature. For the channel injector (models SDM11VMH/SDM11VMB), the “Program” push button is used to enter the channel digits. For a programming example, see the following figure. The example uses channel 120.
