REQUIRED EQUIPMENT:
1. Spectrum Analyzer or Field Strength Meter
2. TV or Monitor
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Your HPM55 may be mounted in any standard 19” rack using one or two screws on each side.
2. Use 3 F type input/output cables to your HPM55 as follows:
A: Connect Video from any VCR, Satellite Receiver, Demod or Character generator to the video input.
B: Connect Audio from any VCR, Satellite Receiver or Demod to the audio input.
C: Connect output to system or system combiner
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Please note: A 30-Minute warm up prior to adjustments is necessary.
1. Plug the power cord into either a 110VAC outlet, or another HPM55 via the auxiliary outlet on the rear
panel. It is recommended that a SURGE PROTECTOR be used between the modulator(s) and the
110VAC outlet.
2. Connect your analyzer or field strength meter to the HPM55’s test port (-20dB) or combiner.
A. Adjust the RF output to the desired level (See Specifications)
B. Adjust aural carrier @ -12dB to -16dB below the picture carrier by turning trim pot
on the front panel. Connect the TV or Monitor to the test port (-20dB) or to your
combiner output, using proper attenuation in order to prevent overdriving the TV or Monitor
3. Adjust the audio deviation (sound level) until the sound on the TV set is an equal level to that of an off-
air channel.
4. Adjust video modulation until the proper viewing level is achieved. Overmodulation causes buzzing,
overly bright scenes, and distortion. Undermodulation results in dull white levels and dark colors.
