Basic Safety Precautions - Kathrein VOS 137/RA Manual De Instrucciones

House connection amplifi er
Features
■
House connection amplifi er for modern HFC networks
■
VOS 137/RA - locally fed
VOS 138/RA - remotely fed via RF input (auto-supply)
VOS 139/RA - remotely fed
■
Very high output level with good energy balance
■
Modern GaAs-MMIC technology
■
Highly effi cient switched-mode power supply unit
■
New innovative operational concept:
- Simplifi ed levelling using rotary switch, large adjustment
range (20 dB), small step width (1 dB)
- Basic confi guration via jumpers
- Exactly reproducible device settings
■
Insert position for additional functions in the forwards path
(e.g. de-emphasis, system equaliser)
■
Gain is switchable 40/34/30 dB with interstage attenuation
using jumper (setting as supplied: 34 dB)
■
Diplexer can be bypassed (I-band operation available with
no return path)
■
Integrated return path (active/passive/disabled) with
numerous setting facilities
■
Classifi cation to KDG 1 TS 140: Type D (4.4)
■
Test sockets (F connectors):
- two-way on the input (switchable)
- with directional coupler on the output

Basic safety precautions

• Installation must be carried out by authorised specialist staff.
• Described amplifi ers are exclusively for installation of HFC networks up to 1006 MHz.
• Any other use or failure to comply with these instructions will invalidate the warranty.
• The amplifi ers may only be installed in dry indoor areas. Do not install on or against highly combustible materials.
• The safety regulations set out in the current EN 60728-11 and EN 60065 standards must be complied with.
• The supply voltage of the amplifi ers is 32-65 V or 230 V AC. This can give a fatal shock if touched!
• The only reliable method of disconnecting the amplifi ers from the mains is to disconnect the power plug (VOS 137/RA).
• Do not touch live parts. This also applies after removing the device's internal fuse.
• The power plug must be easily operable as the means of cutting power to the amplifi er, meaning the wall outlet must be
close to the amplifi er and easily accessible. Always disconnect the power plug during installation.
• Only install or deinstall the amplifi er in the de-energised condition.
• The amplifi ers must not be operated without the standard fi tted power supply unit guard cover. The cover must be
closed.
• No liquid-fi lled items may be placed on top of the amplifi ers.
• The amplifi ers must not be exposed to dripping or splashing water.
• Permissible ambient temperature -20 to +55°C
• The remote power feed transformer or converter required for supplying the VOS 138/RA and VOS 139/RA must comply
with protection class II and with EN 60065 and EN 60950. Its maximum fault current (short-circuit current) may not
exceed double the nominal current value. Recommendation for VOS 138/RA and VOS 139/RA: TVF 20 (BN 236678).

separately, not included in the scope of delivery)
■
For use in locations protected from weather conditions
■
The amplifi ers comply with the requirements of the EMC
Directive 2004/103/EC and Low-Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC
applicable at the time of shipping
