Grounding or Polarization: This video product is equipped with either a three prong plug for 110 VAC use or a two prong flat blade 220 volt type plug. Each type is to be inserted into only the type of receptacle for which they specifically designed. Do not cut off the round grounding pin in order to be able to fit into a two prong receptacle as this could cause injury and will void the warranty. www.picomacom.com Safeguards TSMS-2150X-8AUV 11. Power Sources: This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. 12. Power-cord Protection: Power-supply cords should be routed so they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance. 13. Lightning: For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended or unused for long periods of time, the unit should be disconnected from power source. 14. Power Lines: An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines, other electric light or power circuits, where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them may be fatal. 15. Overloading: Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in risk of fire or electric shock. 16.

Unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards. 20. Safety Check: Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating conditions. 21. Outdoor Antenna Grounding: Before attempting to install this product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. a. Use No.10 AWG (5.3mm) copper, No.8 AWG (8.4mm) aluminum, No.7 AWG (10mm) copper-clad steel or bronze wire or larger, as ground wire. b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulators spaced from 4 feet (1.22m) to 6 feet (1.83m) apart. c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-in enters house. d. A driven rod may be used as the grounding electrode where other types of electrode systems do not exist. Refer to the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1984 for information. e. Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3mm) copper or equivalent, when a separate antenna grounding electrode is used. NOTE TO THE CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER THIS REMINDER IS PROVIDED TO CALL THE CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER’S ATTENTION TO ARTICLE 820-22 OF THE NEC THAT PROVIDES GUIDELINES FOR PROPER GROUNDING AND, IN PARTICULAR, SPECIFIES THAT THE CABLE GROUND SHALL BE CONNECTED TO THE GROUNDING SYSTEM OF THE BUILDING, AS CLOSE TO THE POINT OF CABLE ENTRY AS PRACTICAL.

The easy mount enclosure and all rear panel connections provide for rack mounting or quick and easy wall mounting by simply turning the unit face to the wall. The TSMS-2150X-8AUV allows 2 LNB inputs and 1 off-air antenna input (40-806 MHz) and provides 8 outputs, while the TSMS-2150X-16A allows 2 LNB inputs and provides 16 outputs. The advanced circuit design incorporates a pin diode matrix to route any of the inputs to any of the outputs by utilizing the 13-14V Right-Circular/Vertical or 17-18V Left-Circular/Horizontal switching control supplied by the satellite receivers, thus eliminating digital artifacts that result from mechanical relay switching. To compensate for insertion loss, both versions use separate built-in amplifiers for satellite and/or VHF/UHF signals. The TSMS-2150X series, used with the external power supply, will supply power to the LNBs reducing heat build up within the multiswitch and prolong the life of the unit.

PICO MACOM recommends connecting the headend components in the following manner: Each of the modulators, signal processors or strip amplifiers output are connected to a combining network. Either a PHC-12G or a PHC-24G headend combiner may be used to accomplish this purpose. 1. Install chassis in equipment rack (equipment rack sold separately) by supporting the bottom and rear of TSMS-2150X-8AUV at the desired elevation in rack. 2. Line up the side holes of chassis with the tapped equipment rack holes. 3. Insert the provided screws through the mounting holes at the extreme left and right of faceplate and thread into the tapped equipment rack holes. 4. Fasten the bottom screws first, then fasten top screws. (tighten securely). 5. Connect a cable from the RHCP port of a LNB to the LNB RHCP (13/14V) port of the TSMS-2150X-8AUV. 6. Connect a cable from the LHCP port of a LNB to the LNB LHCP (17/18V) port of the TSMS-2150X-8AUV. 8. Connect a cable from an off-air antenna to the ANT port of the unit. 9. Connect a receiver input to the OUT port of the unit. If off-air is required connect the OUT of the unit to the input of a TV/Satellite diplexer. 10. Plug the wall adaptor plug into the jack located in the back of the unit. 11. Plug the adaptor into a 120Vac, 60Hz wall receptacle. The PHC-12G or PHC-24G passive headend combiner consists of two rows of directional couplers combined by a hybrid splitter. Normally, the odd channels are combined on one row while even channels are combined on the other row of directional couplers for maximum isolation. The output of the combiners may be connected to the input of a launch amplifier such as a CA-30RK550 or CA-30RK1000. The output of the amplifier is connected to the main distribution line. The CHC16U/550 and CHC16U/860 sixteen channel active combiners provides both signal combining and post amplification of the headend signals. Up to 16 channels may be combined using the CHC16U. The combiner gain is 15 dB per channel. A 24 channel system hook-up is shown. (The same combining result may be accomplished by using a single PHC-24G). The two PHC-12G outputs are combined via a two-way splitter, which is connected to a CA-30RK1000 launch amplifier. The input levels to the combiner, whether from a modulator, signal processor or a strip amplifier, must be at the same amplitude.
