CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION
This chapter provides instructions on unpacking, mounting, and connecting your Unity 552
as well as connector information including detailed pinouts.

2.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully unpack the unit and its ac power cord and inspect for obvious signs of physical
damage that might have occurred during shipment. Any damage claims must be reported to
the carrier immediately. Be sure to check the package contents carefully for important
documents and materials.
Note:

Please save the packing materials and original shipping containers in case you
must later return the unit for repair. Packing these units in other containers in such a
way that they are damaged will void your warranty.

2.2 Location and Mounting
The Unity 552 may be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or set up for desktop
operation. In either location, maintain a clean, dry environment for the Unity 552.

Precautions

FCC-Mandated Suppression of Radio Frequency Emissions

WA RNING

This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio
interference for which the user may need to take mitigating action.
If the Ethernet port has a cable connected to it, that cable must be properly shielded and
grounded to minimize RF emissions that could interfere with nearby equipment.

DANGE R

To avoid damage to the Unity 552 unit and other equipment, or personal injury, the following
items should be strictly observed.
Elevated Ambient Operating Temperatures in Rack-Mounted Units
When equipment is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room's ambient temperature.
Therefore, consideration should be given to the ambient air temperature within the rack (not
just inside the room) when deciding if the maximum recommended ambient operating
temperature (TMRA) is met or exceeded.
Reduced Air Flow
Equipment should be installed such that the airflow required for safe operation of the
equipment is not compromised. The Unity 552 may be arranged in a rack without empty
spaces between units, if heat buildup is prevented by ensuring that the side vents remain
unblocked, and that there is adequate clearance around the vent holes.
Mechanical Loading
Rack-mounted equipment should be installed in such a way that a hazardous condition is
not produced by uneven loading. The Unity 552 unit is not very heavy, but total rack loading

www.wegener.com

800089-01 Rev. C

11

Installation
must be considered. Also, do not rest any unsupported equipment on a rack-mounted Unity
552 unit.

Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and
the effect that overloading of circuits could have on overcurrent protection and supply
wiring. Ensure that the total rack or breaker power consumption does not exceed the limits
of the AC branch circuit. Appropriate consideration of equipment ratings should be used
when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing
When connecting the Unity 552 unit to the power supply, review the ratings of all equipment
in the circuit to ensure that the branch circuit, as well as the power source, will not be
overloaded. Also make sure that the unit is properly grounded and/or that a protected power
strip is used to attach it to the power supply
Rack Mounting
The Unity 552 unit should be installed in such a way that a half-inch clearance is allowed on
each side and a quarter-inch on the top to ensure adequate air flow. Ensure that a
hazardous condition is not produced by uneven loading, or by resting any unsupported
equipment on a rack-mounted Unity 552 unit.
Parts for the Unity 552 unit include 2 angle rack mount brackets and 4 rubber feet. For rack
mounting, do not attach the rubber feet as they interfere with the rack mounting.
1. Remove the 2 screws from the left and right sides of the unit.
2. Insert the angle brackets into the left and right sides of the unit ensuring that the
screw holes for the unit and brackets are aligned.
3. Secure the brackets by re-inserting the screws through the brackets and unit.
4. Install the unit onto the rack.
Note:

The front brackets must be secured to the rack. If the front brackets are left
unsecured, the unit may shift forward and fall from the rack, and may result in
personal injury and/or damage to the equipment. The internal temperature of the
rack should not exceed 40o C.

Desktop Installation
Parts for the Unity 552 unit include 2 angle rack mount brackets and 4 rubber feet. For
desktop installation, do not attach the brackets.
1. Attach the 4 rubber feet onto the indented areas at the bottom of the unit.
2. Place the unit on a flat surface where it will not be subject to spills or impacts.
3. Route cables to the unit so that they will not be hit or pulled, causing damage to the
connectors or to the unit itself. Ensure a sufficient flow of cool air so that the unit's
operating ambient temperature range is not exceeded.

CHAPTER 3 OPERATION
This chapter provides information and procedures for powering up, operating the unit,
upgrading software and tracking alarm conditions. Information on four-port RF option and
Universal LNB Power is also presented.

3.1 Controlling and Monitoring
The IRD can be controlled via Compel network, front-panel using push-buttons and OSD
(On-Screen Display) or LCD menus or the diagterm terminal using commands. The Compel
is generally the primary method of controlling an IR. See the Compel Manual for a complete
explanation.

Front Panel
Controls And
Indicators

The Unity 552 is set up at the factory. However, you can customize the settings to fit your
system using the front-panel push-buttons and LCD screens or OSD menus. You may also
view those settings and various status information using the front-panel LCD, LED or OSD
screens.
Figure 3.1: Unity 552 Front Panel

LCD
Normally, the LCD on the front-panel displays Unit label and currently tuned channel
parameters for information. Pressing Enter on the front-panel activates the LCD backlight.
When the OSD menu is active, the LCD on the front-panel displays the OSD item currently
selected. When certain status conditions, such as loss of signal occur, the LCD
automatically gets activated with illuminated backlight and displays relevant information on
the condition.
OSD
The On-Screen Display (OSD) menus are used to configure settings or monitor the status of
the IRD. The OSD information displays white text on blue background overlying 80% of the
video output viewed on a monitor connected to any of the video ports. The OSD screens are
activated (displayed on video monitor) and the menus can be navigated using the pushbuttons on the front-panel. On menus, a selected item is displayed with black text on white
background. Following example represents one of the OSD menus available on Unity 552.

Operation
Figure 3.2: OSD Main Menu

Push-buttons
Use the arrow buttons and Enter on the front panel to navigate and edit the fields on LCD
and OSD menus. Any of the push buttons activate OSD and LCD. The arrow buttons are
used to navigate through menus and to either change or display items to set desired options
for the IRD. The Enter button is generally used to select menu items on LCD and OSD
menus. Selectable fields allow you to change the whole parameter from pre-determined
options. Editable fields allow you to change each digit of the parameter. Once a field is
updated, you must select Activate and Exit on the submenu and then press Enter to update
the value of the field. Before pressing Enter, you may go back to any field and correct it prior
to acceptance. The left arrow button usually steps back a menu.

Operation

Compel™
System
Control

The Unity 552 IRD is most often controlled via the WEGENER Compel Control System. This
system is managed at the uplink site, sending a control stream with the usual audio and
video data streams. The Compel System addresses units, and commands them to perform
various functions.
Among its functions is the ability to enable or limit aspects of local control. Also, Compel has
the ability to mute the audio and video of an IRD if it is inadvertently tuned to a frequency it
is not authorized to receive.
If an RF Switch option module is installed, Compel controls which of the four RF feeds is
being processed. For more information on this, see the Compel Manual, or contact your
service provider.
There are four levels of control via Compel. These levels are:
No Local Control - Push-buttons disabled
Read Only - No changes permitted
Limited - Changes may be made to Carrier Presets (pre-loaded values) only
Full - Full Local Control

Setting

Description

Modulation

S28PSK/S2QPSK/QPSK

RF Switch/Pol

If IRD is configured for Universal LNB, H or V are valid. Specify RF port 14 for four-port RF configuration.

Carrier

The downlink frequency specified in MHz with up to two decimal places.
This value’s absolute difference with the LNB LO frequency is used as
specified in the technical specifications. (e.g. 3720.00 MHz).

Data_rate

Data rate is specified in Mbps with up to three decimal places. See the
technical specifications for the applicable range. (e.g. 41.470 Mbps).

Fec_rate

The inner FEC code ratio and can have one of the values specified in the
technical specifications. (e.g. 3/4).

Tag_site

Value of 0-14 (15 is a special NO Tag case) specifying the location of this
carrier’s tag frequency.

[program]

The program number from the MPEG Program Association Table. This
must be number from 1 to 65535. If omitted or an ‘*’ is entered, the unit
will select the first available program stream. Note that this number points
to the PID for the Program Map Table for what we might call a “service” (a
single video channel and associated audio signals).

Label

A string of characters for identification.

The IRD is acting on one of three groups of settings at any given time, each of which is
described in Table 4.2

Table 4.2: Unity 552 Settings Groups
Settings
Group
Temp

Description
These settings are entered via Compel or the TEMP / TEMPCH terminal
commands. The unit is said to be inserting when it is configured to the temp
settings. The maximum length of an insert is approximately 18 hours (65535
seconds). An insert terminates when:
1. it times out,
2. an ABORT command is received,
3. power is cycled, or
4. an invalid header is seen.
Any Temp commands received while the receiver is currently inserting are ignored.
If a Perm command is received while inserting, the perm settings are updated but
not acted on until the insert is terminated.

Perm

The perm settings are entered via Compel, the PERM / PERMCH terminal, or
OSD Carrier Select screen, or automatically from within a search mode. (See
below.) The perm settings are the only settings group that are stored in NVRAM.

Search

The search settings are active while in Carrier Search or Header Search. When the
unit finds what it is looking for in the search mode, it copies the search settings to
the perm settings. These are then considered to be the active settings.

4.2 Settings Table (or Search Table)
This is an internal database retained in non-volatile memory (unaffected by loss of power). It
contains a list of alternate carrier settings. Each valid entry is a complete description of a
carrier/program setting (as used in a Perm command). This list is entered at customer
request at the factory, and may be edited using Compel commands or ADDS and DELS
terminal commands. The entries are referred to as "Table Entries" or "Search Settings
Entries", etc.
The Settings Table is typically used for one of two possible operations. The first is for local
users to quickly pre-program carrier/program combinations and tune the IRD to one of
them. The second is as a source of alternate fallback carriers for times when the "normal"
carrier is lost or has a failure in its Compel stream.

4.3 Signal Quality Monitoring
The Unity 552 provides monitoring of different parameters of RF signal quality while tracking
a carrier.
Note:

40

Beyond 15 dB, Eb/No readings are not accurate. For the following inner FEC ratios,
display any Eb/No values above the limits shown as >xx dB: R=1/2, Eb/No >14.0
dB; R=2/3, Eb/No>13.5 dB; R=3/4, Eb/No>13.0 dB; R=5/6, Eb/No>12.5 dB;
R=7/8, Eb/No>12.0 dB. Note that margin may also “top out” as a >yy dB value also.

the first available program stream. Note that this number points to the PID
for the Program Map Table for what we might call a “service” (a single video
channel and associated audio signals).

Label

A string of characters for identification.

4.4 Frequency Tagging
General
Rules

Frequency Tagging is a mechanism that is used to ensure that an IRD is locked to desired
carrier settings. Sometimes, due to minor offsets in LNB and frequency errors, tuning may
be off by a couple of MHz. To prevent locking to some other near by (adjacent) carrier while
looking for an intended carrier, the acquired carrier contains "frequency tags." These tags
are inserted in Compel control stream at the uplink to identify the intended carrier frequency.
Traditionally, the tags have been sent at a rate of every 100 or 125 ms.
The Unity 552 supports both single and multiple tags. A carrier settings with "Tag Site"
number, specifies which of the possible tags the IRD need to use. The Unity 552 allows for
Tag Site designations from 0 to 15, inclusive. The tag '15' is reserved for an exception. If the
Carrier Setting shows Tag Site '15', the Carrier Tags are not required.
The SCPC Frequency Tag Protocol Functional Specification (WCI #16803) gives more
details.
