LCP-500-550
TELEVISION PROCESSOR
1) INTRODUCTION
The Olson Technology LCP-500-550 is a frequency agile F.C.C. compatible television processor that will
select any VHF, standard and HRC cable, or UHF input channel in 0.25MHz increments, from channel 2
(54MHz) to channel W (300MHz) and UHF channel 14 (471.25MHz) through channel 83 (885.25MHz).
This unit provides >+55dBmV output in 1MHz increments, on any channel from channel 2 (55.25MHz)
through channel AAA (547.25MHz). All input and output channels are selectable by front panel DIP switches.
A front panel control allows adjustment of the output frequency for F.C.C. required offsets.
The LCP-500-550 uses dual SAW filtering for excellent adjacent channel performance and has >-60dB
spurious free output capability. The LCP-500-550 also offers >77dB out-of-band carrier to noise perfor-
mance which will allow virtually unlimited numbers of LCP-500-550’s to be combined without the use of
external band pass filters. Power consumption is 14 watts maximum @ 115 VAC.
2) INPUT CHANNEL SELECTION
Remove the small cover plate from the front panel to expose the 2, 8 position channel select, band select,
and AFC select DIP switches as shown in Figure 1.

Channel Selection: Channel selection is accomplished by properly setting the 8 positions on DIP
Switch #1 and the first 4 positions on DIP Switch #2 to the corresponding channel codes. Channel
codes can be selected from the code cards attached to the “Input Channel Select” cover plate, or
from Figure #2 of this manual.
B)
Band Selection: The proper band is selected by setting positions 5, 6 & 7 on DIP Switch #2 to the
corresponding band. The correct position for these switches can be selected from the code card
attached to the “Input Channel Select” cover or from Figure 2.
