1.1 SAFETY SUGGESTIONS

Regardless of how well electrical equipment is designed, personnel can be exposed to dangerous

electrical shock when protective covers are removed for maintenance or other activities. Therefore, it is

incumbent on the user to see that all safety regulations are consistently observed and that each individual

assigned to the equipment has a clear understanding of the first aid related to electrical shocks. (see next

pages)

In addition these safety practices must be followed:

¾ Do not attempt to adjust unprotected circuit controls or to dress leads with power on.

¾ Always avoid placing parts of the body in series between ground and circuit points.

¾ To avoid burns, do not touch heavily loaded or overheated components without precautions.

¾ Remember that some semiconductor cases and solid-state circuits carry high voltages.

¾ Do not assume that all danger of electrical shock is removed when the power is off. Charged

capacitors can retain dangerous voltages for a long time after power is turned off. These capacitors

should be discharged trough a suitable resistor before any circuit points are touched.

¾ Don't take chances. Be fully trained. Screen Service Italia equipment should be operated and

maintained by fully qualified personnel.

¾ Do not service alone and do not perform internal adjustments of this unit unless another person

capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.

¾ Some components used in the construction of this equipment contain Beryllium Oxide (BeO). This

substance is harmless as it is, but becomes highly dangerous if it is ground to powder. Special

procedures of disposal must be observed in case of failure of these devices.

NOTE: This section is not intended to contain a complete statement of all safety precautions which

should be observed by personnel in using this electronic equipment or others.

Screen Service shall not be responsible for injury or damage resulted from improper procedures or from

using it by improperly trained or inexperienced personnel.

July, 2009 v 1.0 Page 1 - 3

1.2 GENERAL SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

When connecting the equipment to the power, please follow these important recommendations:

¾ This product is intended to operate from a power source that will not apply more than 10% of the

voltage specified on the rear panel between the supply conductors or between either supply

conductor and ground. A protective-ground connection by way of the grounding conductor in the

power cord is essential for safe operation.

¾ This equipment is grounded through the grounding conductor of the power cord. To avoid electrical

shock, plug the power cord into a properly wired socket before connecting to the product input or

output terminals.

¾ Upon loss of the protective-ground connection, all accessible conductive parts (including parts that

may appear to be insulating) can render an electric shock.

¾ To avoid fire hazard, use only the fuse of correct type, voltage rating, and current rating. Refer fuse

replacement to qualified service personnel.

¾ To avoid explosion, do not operate this equipment in an explosive atmosphere.

¾ To avoid personal injury, do not remove the product covers or panels. Do not operate the product

without the covers and panels properly installed.

1.3 GOOD PRACTICES

In maintaining the equipment covered in this manual, please keep in mind the following, standard good

practices:

¾ At regular intervals, the condition of the equipment and the correct functioning of protective and

safety devices shall be checked by a skilled person approved by the appropriate authority for this

duty. Functional checks shall be carried out on interlocking systems of doors, mechanical interlocks,

isolating switches, earthing switches, parallel resistances and protective devices against over-

voltages and over-currents. The above checks shall not be carried out after the protective and safety

devices have operated under fault conditions. The safety devices shall not be altered or

disconnected except for replacement, nor shall the safety circuit be modified without specific

approval of the appropriate authority in each case.

¾ When connecting any instrument (wattmeter, spectrum analyzer, etc.) to a high frequency output,

use the appropriate attenuator or dummy load to protect the final amplifiers and the instrument input.

¾ When inserting or removing printed circuit boards (PCBs), cable connectors, or fuses, always turn off

power to the affected portion of the equipment. After power is removed, allow sufficient time for the

power supplies to bleed down before reinserting PCBs.

¾ When troubleshooting, remember that FETs and other metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) devices

may appear defective because of leakage between traces or component leads on the printed circuit

board. Clean the printed circuit board and recheck the MOS device before assuming it is defective.

¾ When replacing MOS devices, follow standard practices to avoid damage caused by static charges

and soldering.

¾ When removing components from PCBs (particularly ICs), use care to avoid damaging PCB traces.

1.4 PROCEDURE FOR ESTABLISH THE ABSENCE OF VOLTAGE

Follow these simple steps for establish the absence of voltage:

¾ Before starting work on the equipment, it shall be isolated from the mains supply. This disconnection

shall always be checked by visual inspection. Further precautions shall be taken to ensure that the

mains supp!y cannot be restored whilst work is being carried out. After the mains supply has been

disconnected, all other lines such as control, interlocking and modulation lines shall be disconnected

if they carry dangerous voltages. Moreover, the antenna or the antenna transmission line shall be

disconnected from the antenna terminal device to prevent the introduction of dangerous voltages

due to antenna pick-up. When disconnection of the antenna or antenna transmission line is not

possible, other suitable precautions shall be taken, for example, earthing, when necessary at several

places, to esablish absence of voltage. These earthing connections shall be very short compared

with the wave-lenght.

¾ Capacitors which are connected to a circuir isolated frcm its supply shall be discharged and have

their terminals permanently short-circuited and the casing earthed during the whole period of the

work.

¾ The electrical charge retained by electrical machinery when stopped may, in certain cases, be

sufficient to cause a severe shock. This shall be taken into account when making connections to an

apparently "dead" machine. Therefore all machinery shall be discharged and earthed using an

adequately insulated lead for this purpose. The discharge operation shall be repeated several times.

¾ Before any maintenance work is carried out on automatic or remote controlled equipment, the

remote swithching circuits shall be made inoperative.

1.4.1 PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINATION OF THE ABSENCE OF VOLTAGE

After the equipment has been isolated according to the standard EN60215, the absence of voltage shall be

determined at the work place. This may be done by the use of voltage indicators, measuring instruments,

glow discharge lamps for indicating radio-frequency voltage or other suitable means.

1.5 FIRST AID IN CASE OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK

If someone seems unable to free himself while receiving an electric shock, turn power off before rendering

aid. A muscular spasm or unconsciousness can make a victim unable to free himself from the electrical

power.

If power cannot be turned off immediately, very carefully loop a length of dry non-conducting material (such

as a rope, insulating material, or clothing) around the victim and pull him free of the power. Carefully avoid

touching him or his clothing until free of power.

1.5.1 EMERGENCY RESUSCITATION TECHNIQUE

Step 1

Check the victim for unresponsiveness. If there is no response, immediately call for

medical assistance, and then return to the person.

Step 2

Position the person flat on their back. Kneel by their side and place one hand on the

forehead and the other under the chin. Tilt the head back and lift the chin until teeth

almost touch. Look and listen for breathing.

Step 3

If not breathing normally, pinch the nose and cover the mouth with yours. Give two

full breaths. The person's chest will rise if you are giving enough air.

Step 4

Put the fingertips of your hand on the Adam's apple, slide them into the groove next

to the windpipe. Feel for a pulse. If you can not feel a pulse or are unsure, move on

to the next step.

DO NOT TOUCH VICTIM OR HIS CLOTHING BEFORE

POWER IS DISCONNECTED OR YOU CAN ALSO

BECOME A SHOCK VICTIM

Screen Service SDT 200UB - 500UB ARK-1 ATSC General information

July, 2009 v 1.0 Page 1 - 6

Step 5

Position your hands in the center of the chest between the nipples. Place one hand on

top of the other.

Step 6

Push down firmly two inches. Push on chest 15 times.

CONTINUE WITH TWO BREATHS AND 15 PUMPS UNTIL HELP ARRIVES.

1.5.2 TREATMENT FOR BURNS

¾ Continue treat victim for electrical shock.

¾ Check for points of entry and exit of current.

¾ Cover burned surface with a clean dressing.

¾ Remove all clothing from the injured area, but cut around any clothing that adheres to the skin and leave

it in place. Keep the patient covered, except the injured part, since there is a tendency to chill.

¾ Splint all fractures. (Violent muscle contractions caused by the electricity may result in fractures.)

¾ Never permit burned surfaces to be in contact with each other, such as: areas between the fingers or

toes, the ears and the side of the head, the undersurface of the arm and the chest wall, the folds of the

groin, and similar places..

¾ Transport to a medical facility

by class A stages (ARK_1 200 U) and by class AB (ARK_1 201).

They are made by PALLET and, as reported in FIGG.2-3 and 2.4, there are NO SINGLE POINT FAILURE

Out of the final stage, the RF signal passes through a directional coupler. The directional coupler detects

samples of direct and reflected power and passes this information to the check function

3.3 SNMP – SIMPLE NETWORK MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL

The SNMP model assumes the existence of managers and agents. A manager is a software

module in a management system responsible for managing the device. An agent is a

software module in a managed device responsible for maintaining local management

information and delivering that information to a manager via SNMP. A management

information exchange can be initiated by the manager (via polling) or by the agent (via trap).

Interaction between a user of board management and the board management software

takes place across a user interface. Such an interface is needed to provide users with a

monitoring and controlling tool in order to allow some parameters to be viewed or set locally.

The operations that are supported in SNMP network management are the alteration and

inspection of variables. Specifically, three general-purpose operations may be performed on

scalar objects:

• Get: a management station retrieves a scalar object value from a managed station.

• Set: a management station updates a scalar object value in a managed station.

• Trap: a managed station sends an unsolicited scalar object value to a management

station.

Management information accessible via SNMP is maintained in a management information

base (MIB) at each manager and agent node.

On manager side, ARK1 ATSC management system has been tested with MG-SOFT as

MIB Browser; besides compatibility with any other MIB browser is assured.

The following MIB libraries are required for the SNMP management of the equipment:

• SCREENSERVICE-SCB-BROADCASTING-MIB.my;

• ark1atsc_0_6.MY.

Compatibility tested and assured with SNMP version 1 and 2.

3.3.1 SNMP Protocol Preferences

Go to SNMP Protocol Preferences. The following parameters should be set in order to

correctly configure the SNMP Manager:

• SNMP protocol version: SNMPv1;

• Read Community: the same of the one set in the Get field of Java interface,

community section;

• Set Community: the same of the one set in the Set field of Java interface,

community section;

• Timeout [s]: user defined;

• Retransmits: user defined;

• Port number: 161.

July, 2009 v 1.0 Page 3 - 17

Next figure illustrates how to configure SNMP Protocol Preferences using MG_SOFT MIB

Browser as an example.

Fig. 3: SNMP Protocol Preferences

3.3.2 Monitoring

All status and setup information can be queried via SNMP. To get the setup and status

information you need a management system (or a special MIB browser).

Next figure, referring to iReasoning MIB Browser as an example, is a broad view of the

ARK1 ATSC tree structure.

3.3.3 OID

Any status and setup information has an OID (Object Identifier). The OID of the ARK1 ATSC

system is:

• screenservice_ark1atsc: 1.3.6.1.4.1.21678.186

iso(1).org(3).odd(6).internet(1).private(4).enterprises(1).screenservice(21678).scree

nservice_ark1atsc(186)

3.3.4 SNMP tree structure

The screenservice_ark1atsc tree has 12 nodes and 1 leave.

The nodes are:

• ark1atsc_SystemInfo: global description of the system.

• ark1atsc_Mode: shows and manages board modes.

• ark1atsc_Input: shows and manages inputs.

• ark1atsc_Modulation: shows and sets local modulation.

• ark1atsc_Output: shows and manages the output.

• ark1atsc_HW_monitor: shows the amplifier status.

• ark1atsc_Gps: shows the collection of live data from GPS receiver.

• ark1atsc_Clock: shows and sets 10MHz and 1PPS source.

• ark1atsc_Network: shows and sets network parameters.

• ark1atsc_Alarm: shows and manages system alarms.

• ark1atsc_Config: allows the management of the machine configuration.

• ark1atsc_TrapAlarm: is the OID used in the trap message:

The ark1atsc_Alarm leaf allows the monitoring of alarms status, the setting of alarm masks

and thresholds.

Use alarm masks to select how and which alarm have to be notified.

Screen Service SDT 200UB – SDT 500UB ARK-1 ATSC Operations

July, 2009 v 1.0 Page 3 - 33

Fig. 5:Configuring alarms

There are six families of alarm masks:

• ark1atsc_AlarmJavaEnable: the selected alarms status is notified on the Java

alarm page icon.

• ark1atsc_AlarmFrontPanelEnable: the selected alarms status is notified on

LCD display lighting the alarm button and listing the alarms in the Alarms menu

(refer to Alarms Menu paragraph).

• ark1atsc_AlarmEventsEnable: the selected alarms status generate an alarm

event that will be logged in the event memory (refer to Events paragraph).

• ark1atsc_AlarmRelay: the selected alarms switch-on the corresponding relay.

• ark1atsc_AlarmTrap: the selected alarms generate the corresponding trap

message.

• ark1atsc_AlarmRfEnable: the selected alarms switch off the RF output. The

RF mask is almost entirely fixed in order to avoid board damages or

malfunctioning.

Each alarm mask is a 32 bits word and each alarm represents one bit (0: Off, 1: On). Set the

decimal value corresponding to the mask you want to activate in the relatve leaf. The

following table shows the bit-to-alarm association.

3.3.6 Traps

While a management station can poll, at fixed time interval, all the agents it knows for some

key information, each agent is responsible for notifying the management station of any alarm

condition. These events are communicated in SNMP messages known as traps.

The following parameters should be set in order to correctly configure traps:

• SNMP Agent Port: 162.

• SNMP Agent Transport protocol: IP/UDP.

• Variable

o OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.21678.186.13.

o Value(gauge): 32 Bit

3.3.7 Configuring traps

Use Java (refer to Network and Alarms paragraphs for further information) or SNMP user

interfaces to configure traps.

Screen Service SDT 200UB – SDT 500UB ARK-1 ATSC Operations

July, 2009 v 1.0 Page 3 - 35

The configuration of traps is performed through the setting of a trap alarm mask, by means

of leaves housed in the ark1atsc_AlarmTrap node (refer to Configuring alarms paragraph),

and through the setting of the destination IP Address of the receiving management stations,

by means of leaves housed in the ark1atsc_Network node as shown in next figure.

3.4 STANDALONE/DRIVER WORKING MODES

Two different working modes are provided:

• Stand-alone: the device works in stand-alone mode. The system configuration can

be totally set through user interfaces. Pre-correction curves are automatically

selected according to channel and power range.

• Driver: the device works in a driven system. The system configuration cannot be

totally set through user interfaces. Some settings are disabled on the user interfaces

in order to be driven by serial interface commands. Pre-correction curves are not

automatically selected according to channel and power range, but the selection is

manually performed through serial interface commands.

The following table lists the commands, specific to each system interface, which must be

enabled or disabled while working in Driver mode.

Note: Diver mode is a specific working mode available and used only in N+1 configuration

systems.

3.5 TRANSPORT-LEVEL PROTOCOLS

ARK 1 ATSC device allows connections over different ports and using different transport protocols

over Gigabit Ethernet depending on functions and operations.

In the following table used ports and protocols are listed to help users understand what software

functions allow multiple connections and which port must be enabled.

E.g. pre-correction curves editing and files updating operations open and keep busy the connection

to port 5000 till the connection releasing. The connection to this port precludes the possibility of

multiple connections and of programming the device.

Java Virtual Machine

The Java interface requires a host computer connected via Ethernet to the board with the proper

Java Machine version installed.

A.1 Ethernet connection

The host computer has to be connected via Ethernet to the board.

Direct or crossed UTP category 6 cable is recommended.

A.1.1 Configuration

In order to connect to the board trough a LAN, all the devices have to be on the same network.

The default IP address settings of the X-port are:

• IP address: 10.77.xx.xx , where xx is the host address unique for each board.

• Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0 .

Remember to change these settings if they are not compatible with the LAN where the computer

and the board are connected.

3.8 Filter

The Adaptive Filter provides the ARK1 ATSC with an effective adaptive linear

compensation.

The adaptive filter works only in ATSC operative mode.

The developed system is responsible for pre-emptively compensating an ATSC signal in

order to make unimportant the contribution of the system transmission section. The signal

passes through the transmission section and re-enters the system as to determine the

distortion and the compensating adaptive filter.

The system is composed of two main blocks: a Power Calculation block and a 128-tap

Complex FIR. The modulated signal, with IQ format and sampled at ƒc frequency, enters

both blocks:

• Power Calculation block is responsible for estimating the mean power level that will

be restored at both transmitting and receiving sides;

• 128-tap Complex FIR is responsible for linearly pre-correcting the modulated signal.

Filter coefficients are obtained by estimating the channel between the signal before

the transmission section and the signal reentering the system, after the channel

distortion and the A/D conversion.

3.8.5 AM/PM pre-correction tool

The ARK1 ATSC system provides a pre-correction tool for AM/PM output signal pre-

correction.

Remember to click on the Save as button the first time you change the factory default curves

in order to do not overwrite them.

Before closing the connection to port 5000, save curves changes otherwise they will be lost.

Note: the operation of uploading and downloading pre-correction curves moves a large

amount of data from and to the device. The use of these tools over low badwidth, not stable

or high distances netwoks could cause frequently time-out disconnections and it is not

recommended.

Click on AM/PM button icon, highlighted in the nex figure, to access the pre-correction

window.

Table 14. AM/PM pre-correction window

Two main actions are possible in this section:

• AM/AM and AM/PM curve drawing: used to change the AM/PM pre-correction

coefficient.

• AM/PM pre-correction files management: used to open or save AM/PM pre-

correction setting file.

AM/AM and AM/PM curves are specific for each power range of each output channel.

The two curves are used to calculate the AM/PM pre-correction coefficients. The curves are

drawn by the interpolation of 1024 points referring to the points inserted and using a linear or

polynomial interpolation algorithm.

Knob points can be added with a left-click of the mouse on the grid and deleted with a right-

click, drag and move a point to change the curve.

Each coefficient variation, due to curves change, is saved in the FPGA “runtime” memory

registers and dynamically changes the device’s output.

Screen Service SDT 200UB – SDT 500UB ARK-1 ATSC Operations

July, 2009 v 1.0 Page 3 - 70

The tool is prevented to send an “overflowing” amount of data to the device: curve changes

will be applied only when the mouse button is released.

In the module grid, the red curve is used to monitor the current module curve calculating and

saving. The last saved coefficients are locally downloaded from the FPGA runtime memory

registers in order to redraw the curve.

During saving actions are created two nonlinear pre-correction files:

• *.dpre files: files containing digital coefficients values.

• *.apre files: files containing analog coefficients values.

The following buttons allow the management of linear pre-correction files and the

management of the connection to port 5000:

• Save: used to save in the device memory the current curves setting. The previously

saved file will be overwritten except in the event that no files have been saved

before; in this case a dedicated window appears in order to let the user name the

new file.

• Save as: used to save in the device memory the current curves setting. The

previously saved file will be overwritten with a new name. In the event that no files

have been saved before, a new file will be created.

• Read file: used to reload the last saved file.

• Export: used to download pre-correction files on the user PC. A browser window

allows the selection of the saving path.

• Release: releases the connection in order to allow others remote machines to

connect to port 5000 (refer to Connection to port 5000 paragraph).

Note: only the drawn curves have the coefficients written in the FPGA registers and so

savable. A curve not yet drawn takes as default the same shape of the last curve drawn and

visualized, to make it drawn click on the graph.

Files are separately managed in analog and in digital AGC mode.

3.8.6 Connection to port 5000

The connection to port 5000 is performed every time the pre-correction tool is opened

through AM/PM button, from Java interface. The pre-correction tool opens and keeps busy

the connection to port 5000 till the connection releasing

The connection to this port precludes the possibility of:

• programming the device;

• allowing more than one user, the very same one that is keeping busy the connection,

to open the pre-correction tools.

The Release button comes through these limits. It closes the connection to port 5000, close

the AM/PM window and opens the General window. Once clicked the Release buttons and

before quitting the pre-correction tool, three options are provided:

• Continue: continue without saving;

• Save and Release: save, continue and release the connection;

• Cancel: cancel the request of releasing the connection.

The watchdog performs a periodic (every 20 seconds) polling of tasks and triggers a system reset if

one or more tasks do not answer, restarting the Codeloader (See

Codeloader_Operations_Note_v1.1.doc for further information) and generating a TSK ERR event as

follows:

The blue underlined 32-bits word is the enabling status of the alarms mask. The red underlined 32-

bits word indicates the status of tasks (1 if the task has been successfully performed, otherwise 0)

as specified in the following table:

Table 21. Task error event specific data

TASK Description Bit

WD_FAN_TASK This task controls fans speed on the base of the

board temperature. 0

WD_UPCV_TASK This task controls the Upconverter status. 1

WD_GPS_TASK This task controls the GPS status. 2

WD_STATUS_TASK

This task gathers quite all the board information in

order to perform the following operations:

•

It updates all variables of the system;

•

It manages alarms;

•

It manages the RF status (e.g. on, off…);

•

It manages the mode switch;

•

It manages the ARP resolution in DVB mode.

WD_TCP_IP_TASK This task implements the TCP-IP protocol stack. 4

WD_TIMER_TICK_TASK This task generates the clock for the TCP-IP task. 5

WD_STV0371_TASK This task gathers information from the demodulator

and configures it. 6

The default tasks mask at the board startup is set to 0x0000007D (nb the UPCV task is excepted).

Once the presence of the upconverter is assured, the upconverter task bit is automatically enabled

and the mask is set to 0x0000007F. Tasks execution is stopped during de-fragmentation operations

5.1 INTRODUCTION

At Screen Service, we continually try to keep our customers up with the latest technology by adding circuit

and component improvements to our equipment as soon as they are developed and tested.

Sometimes, due to printing and shipping requirements, we can't get these changes immediately into printed

manuals; therefore this manual may contain new change information on following pages.

A single change may affect several sections. Since the change information sheets are carried in the manual

until all changes are permanently entered, some duplication may occur.

If no such change pages appear following this page, this manual is correct as printed.

Special versions and variants required by individual Customers are also described in this section.
