APPLICATION DATA

The structured wiring modules are wired using Category 5 (CAT-5) or Category 5E (CAT-5E) cable and RG-6 coaxial cables.

All structured wiring modules are easily installed into enclosures, also supplied by Square D.

Category 5 and 5E Cable

Category 5 and 5E cables are made up of four unshielded twisted pairs. Each pair is color coded for application identification. CAT-5 or CAT-5E cables are recommended for telecommunications, camera, and data applications. CAT-5 and CAT-5E cables will support standard analog telephone, digital telephone, and data. Category 5 and Category 5E cables meet TIA/EIA–586A and 570 standards for data applications such as high-speed Internet access. The cables have a bandwidth of 100 MHz and data transmission speeds up to 100 Mbps. CAT-5 and CAT-5E cable installations provide connections for immediate and future computer, video, and telephone upgrades, thus protecting the long-term resale value of the home.

NOTE: Category 5/5E cables should not be routed parallel to the AC power wiring unless 14 in. (356 mm) of separation or greater is provided. Cross Category 5/5E cables over AC power wires at 90°.

RG-6 Coaxial Cable

RG-6 coaxial cable has an 18 gauge copper coated steel center conductor, polyethylene dielectric core, aluminum braid, and PVC jacket. Standard “F” connectors are used for video, audio, and television equipment connections. Under extreme noise conditions, such as near a radio or television transmitter, use quad-shielded RG-6 cable.

NOTES: RG-6 coaxial cable should not be routed parallel to AC power wiring unless 14 in. (356 mm) of separation or greater is provided. Cross RG-6 coaxial cable over AC power wires at 90°.

When bending coaxial cable, a radius of no less than four times the outside diameter of the cable should be maintained. For RG-6 coaxial cable, the bending radius should be 1 - 1 1/2 inches or greater.

RECOMMENDED PRE-WIRE SCHEMES

Structured wiring cables run from the wall boxes in the various rooms of the house directly to the structured wiring enclosure (called home run wiring). Two types of wire are used for communication and entertainment: CAT-5 or CAT-5E, made up of 4-UTP (unshielded twisted pairs), and RG-6 coaxial. CAT-5 or CAT-5E 4-UTP wires handle voice and data for up to four telephone lines. CAT-5 or CAT-5E wires can have two to four unshielded twisted pairs. Square D recommends four pairs. RG-6 coaxial wires handle television (antenna or cable), satellite dish, cable modem, or AV modulator signals.

Refer to the following table for the recommended wiring schemes. These wires run from the enclosure to the locations indicated in the table.

Telephone and Video Camera Pre-wire Scheme

For pre-wiring telephone modules, use one gray CAT-5/5E cable from each telephone and modem location, web television and/or satellite box location, and telephone demarcation point (the interface from the telephone service provider).

For pre-wiring video camera modules, use one red CAT-5/5E cable from each video camera location (for example, front door) and security panel location.

Audio/Video and Television Pre-wire Scheme

For pre-wiring audio/video and television modules, use RG-6 coaxial cable. Use black coaxial cable for each television and computer location.

Use white coaxial cable for each location where one or more video sources are located, the CATV demarcation point (the interface from the television service provider), and off-air antennas.

For satellite dish locations, use two white coaxial cables to the distribution panel. For each satellite receiver location, use one white coaxial cable to the distribution panel. If HDTV satellite dishes are installed, four coaxial cables may be required because the satellite systems can accommodate up to four different receivers from a single dish.

Data Pre-wire Scheme

For pre-wiring data modules, use one blue CAT-5/5E cable from each computer location, room with a separate peripheral (such as a laser printer), and room where access to the network is needed.

Wiring a Telephone Wall Plate

To wire a telephone wall plate, refer to the following table.

NOTE: The wiring method shown in the table below requires the use of two-line telephones.

When a fax machine is present or single-line telephones are used, wire line 1 (blue, blue/white pair) to the center pins (marked blue, blue/white) on the RJ-14 jack.

For access to a second line for a fax machine or to enable single-line telephone use, wire line 2 (orange, orange/white pair) to the center pins (marked blue, blue/white) on a second RJ-14 jack.

INSTALLING AND TERMINATING THE CABLE

110 Punch-Down Connectors

The 110 punch-down connector is an insulation displacement connection system typically included on combination telephone/video hubs, telephone hubs, and data hubs.

The CAT-5/5E wires are inserted into the connectors. To push wire into the connector, use only a 110 punch-down tool. When wiring the connector, keep the wire cable sheath close to the connector and do not untwist the wire more than 1/2 in. (13 mm).

NOTES: If high-speed Internet service is brought to the home over the telephone lines (DSL), the incoming telephone line should be connected to the SDM46P and then jumped to the SDM8D through the DSL modem (as shown in the figure below).

If the Internet service provider (ISP) allows multiple IP addresses to be leased to one modem, then the high-speed Internet service may be available to all the computers in the home using the Multi-Link Ethernet Hub. In this situation, the high-speed Internet line will jump from the SDM8D to the “uplink” port in the SDM5DE. All the computers connected to the Ethernet hub must have firewall software or hardware installed since they all will have access to the high-speed line at the same time.

If the ISP does not allow multiple IP addresses to be leased to one modem, then replace the Multi-Link Ethernet Hub in the figure below with a router (purchased separately).

SDM14VS

SDM18VS

SDM16VAB

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The splitter hubs are cable company grade passive splitters that are tilted to 10° for easy connections. Three-, four-, and eight-way balanced splitters are available.

The video distribution hubs amplify and distribute antenna and/or cable signals to television locations. The high headroom amplifier and bi-directional amplifier video hubs (models SDM38VHIR and SDM38VBIR) include two modulator inputs to add locally generated channels for cameras, DVDs, or VCRs. All of the video distribution hubs are compatible with NTSC and future HDTV signals.

Splitter Hubs (Models SDM13VS, SDM14VS, and SDM18VS)

Features:

• Cable company grade passive splitter

• Model SDM13VS is a three-way balanced splitter, 5–1000 MHz

• Model SDM14VS is a four-way balanced splitter, 5–1000 MHz

• Model SDM18VS is an eight-way balanced splitter, 5–1000 MHz

• Splitter tilted 10° for easy connections

• -130 dB RFI rejection


NOTES: The splitter hubs are not DC passing.

Video Amplifier Hub (Model SDM16VAB)

The video amplifier hub (model SDM16VAB) distributes community antenna television (CATV) or antenna signals to six televisions. The hub has four standard outputs (up to 75 ft, 22.9 m) and two long outputs (up to 150 ft, 45.8 m). The SDM16VAB has a broadband amplifier (54–806 MHz) and a 5–42 MHz return path for pay-per-view and interactive cable.

The video amplifier hub works like a zero-loss splitter. The signals that are put on the antenna/CATV input will appear on the outputs with about 1dB of gain for short outputs and about 4 dB of gain for long outputs.

Features:

• Distributes CATV or antenna to six televisions

• Four standard “short” outputs (up to 75 ft, 22.9 m)

• Two long outputs (up to 150 ft, 45.8 m)

• Up to four additional hubs (model SDM16VAB) can be cascaded (from the four standard “short” outputs only) of a master hub

• HDTV compatible

• Bi-directional with a 5–42 MHz return path for interactive applications and pay-per-view boxes


• LED power indicator



• Termination caps are not required

SDM38VBIR

Adding a Camera

A camera channel can be added to the video amplifier hub (model SDM16VAB) using the channel injector (model SDM11VMH or SDM11VMB) and the camera (example: model SDM2VC). The channel injector adds the camera channel to the existing off-air channels and the video amplifier hub distributes the channel to all the outputs. See the figure below.

Video Hubs (Models SDM38VHIR and SDM38VBIR)

The video hubs work like a zero-loss splitter and signal combiner. The signals that are put on the antenna or cable television input will appear on the outputs with about 3dB of gain. The modulator inputs will automatically appear on the outputs at an FCC legal level.

Features:

• SDM38VHIR is a high headroom amplifier video hub used with CATV systems or antennas for off-air digital and analog television signals. The amplifier handles signal differences between high-powered analog VHF (off-air television channels 2 through 13) and low-powered digital UHF (off-air television channels 14 through 69). Use SDM38VBIR if CATV services require a return path.

• SDM38VBIR is a bi-directional amplifier video hub used with CATV services using pay-per-view boxes and interactive cable and has a 5–42 return path. The bi-directional system is not for use with off-air antennas.

• Bi-directional with a 5–42 MHz return path for pay-per-view boxes (SDM38VBIR only)

• Distributes CATV (SDM38VBIR or SDM38VHIR) or antenna (SDM38VHIR only) to eight televisions

• Maximum 150 ft (46 m) coaxial cable run from all eight outputs

• HDTV compatible

• Two modulator inputs to add locally generated channels (camera, VCR, or DVD)

Modulator Inputs

The high headroom amplifier and bi-directional amplifier video hubs (models SDM38VHIR and SDM38VBIR) have modulator inputs to add locally generated channels. The new channel is selected using the programming instructions included with the modulator or the channel injector (see the “Programming” section for modulators on page 50). Any television connected to the video hub output by coaxial cables can receive the signal when tuned to the proper channel.

For typical installation, see the figure below.

To increase the number of modulator inputs, a modulator combiner (model SDM81VC) is connected to a video hub modulator input port to work as an expansion hub. When the modulator combiner is used with a video hub, each of the eight locations can receive the broadband feed as well as the modulated channels.

IR Repeating System

The high headroom amplifier and bi-directional amplifier video hubs (models SDM38VBIR and SDM38VHIR) have integrated 5-volt IR engines that pass IR information, allowing control of any video device from any location by simply adding an IR target (model SDM1VIR), an IR emitter (model SDM2VIR), and a set top modulator to the system. For example, when the remote control is pointed at the IR target located at the television, the IR pulses are repeated by the emitter, which is controlling the DVD player in another location.

IR information and power from the set top modulator are passed through port B only. When the modulator is connected to port A, IR remote control passing capability is not available and the video hub must be powered.

All of the television ports can have targets connected. See the following figure.

The single channel modulator (model SDM11VM), channel injectors (models SDM11VMB/SDM11VMH), and the modulator combiner (model SDM81VC) do not pass IR information for remote control. Use only a modulator with IR control, such as a set top modulator (model SDM41VTST, SDM21VTST, SDM41VT, or SDM21VT), and connect the set top modulator to the B+pwr input port of the video hub.

Television Output Expansions

A video hub can be connected to up to eight more video hubs, adding up to 64 television outlets. The longest recommended coaxial cable length should not exceed 150 ft (45.8 m) (total length from master hub to expansion hub and expansion hub to the television).

NOTE: IR control can also be expanded using an IR control expander (ChannelPlus model 2181).

For typical installation, see the figure below.

Modulator Combiner Hub (Model SDM81VC)

The modulator combiner hub has inputs for eight modulators for distribution through a coaxial panel. The signals from all eight inputs are consolidated into a single output.

The modulator combiner hub works like a zero-loss amplifier/combiner. The modulated signals that are put on the inputs will appear on the outputs with about 1dB of gain. When the output of the modulator combiner hub is connected to one of the modulator inputs of a video hub, signals will automatically appear on the video hub outputs at a legal FCC level.

Features:

• Combines modulator inputs from eight locations

• Combines all channels into single output

• Accepts modulated inputs from 400–800 MHz

• Modulator input expansion hub for models SDM38VBIR and SDMVHIR

• 120 Vac power supply and adapter included

Troubleshooting

FCC Requirements

These products comply with FCC requirements. A system using these devices will comply with FCC requirements. Use only video modulators and modulator combiners that comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules and have 25 dBmV maximum output levels. Failure to do so may void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

The high headroom amplifier video hub (model SDM38VHIR) is suitable for use with an antenna or with CATV systems. The bi-directional amplifier video hub (model SDM38VBIR) is suitable for use with CATV systems only and has a bi-directional return path. The video amplifier hub (model SDM16VAB) is suitable for use with an antenna or CATV systems and also incorporates a bi-directional return path.

SPECIFICATIONS

Passive Splitter

The specifications for the video passive splitter portion of the combination hubs are shown in the following table.

Situation Possible Solution

No pictureCheck that the television and the modulator are tuned to the same channel. For example, if the modulator is broadcasting on UHF channel 16, make sure the television is on UHF 16 rather than CATV16. UHF 16 and CATV 16 are at different frequencies.

Weak UHF channel If the television has a separate UHF input, be sure that it is connected.

Herringbone interference on modulator channel (diagonal lines)• Move the modulator channel to another number. A low pass filter might need to be

added to remove the cable company noise. • If the filter does not work, add a DC-block to remove common mode interference.

Herringbone interference on many channels, including modulator channels (disappears when you remove the CATV/antenna feed)

Use a variable attenuator and try to find a signal level where the interference just disappears. Sometimes, the problem is one station is stronger than the rest. In this case, attenuating all of the signals with a simple attenuator may cause the desired stations to be weak (snowy).

Reduce the strength of only the offending station. A common FM trap will help if the problem is a nearby FM tower. If the problem is a nearby television station, usually the station management can provide suitable filters.

Audio volume is lowIf you have a mono source, connect it to both right and left inputs using an RCA ‘Y’ connector. For proper audio level, both right and left inputs must be used.

No color on modulated channelsThe incorrect cable standard might be in use. Not all televisions can accommodate the 1.25MHz frequency difference between the HRC and IRC cable standards.

Satellite and Antenna Distribution Using Diplexers

Diplexers combine satellite and antenna or CATV signals on a single coaxial cable.

A diplexer will reduce the strength of the signals and increase the chance of noisy pictures. Coupling the two cables may also cause interference. It is recommended to only use diplexers when the user cannot run a second coaxial cable. See the following figure.

Expanding Satellite Outputs

To expand the outputs, a second satellite multi-switch can be added to the system, allowing the use of up to six receivers. A third satellite multi-switch can be added, allowing the use of up to eight satellite receivers. See the following figure. Satellite multi-switches cannot cascade more than two layers (two additional multi-switch connections, shown below).

SDM11VMH

Channel Injectors (Models SDM11VMH and SDM11VMB)

The channel injectors create a new channel using audio and video signals received from a CAT-5/5E cable. Using a camera (model SDM1VC, SDM1VCC, SDM2VC, or SDM2VCC) or wall plate (model SDM1VWP), any audio/video device can be connected to the channel injector with a CAT-5/5E cable. Both models include push-button programming.

The injectors are designed to work with an existing installation, so additional hardware such as coaxial panels or coaxial wiring to the video source is not necessary. The community antenna television (CATV) or antenna coaxial cables are connected directly to the channel injector input. The channel injector distributes the new channel with antenna or CATV throughout the house using the existing coaxial cable. Any television connected to the channel injector will be able to view the antenna or CATV along with the newly created camera or video channel.

Features:

• SDM11VMH is a combination modulator, high headroom amplifier, and isolator. The channel injector is used with antennas for off-air digital and analog television or CATV signals.

• SDM11VMB is a combination modulator and bi-directional amplifier with a 5–42 MHz reverse channel. The reverse channel is used to support bi-directional CATV (cable modems, pay-per-view, and interactive cable).

• CAT-5/5E inputs (screw down terminal block or RJ-45 jack)

• Channel range: CATV 65–125 (excluding 95–99) and UHF 14–64

• Push button channel programming





Channel Injector and CAT-5/5E Cable Length Limitations

The length of the CAT-5/5E cable that runs between the channel injector and the video cameras must not exceed the maximum cable lengths shown in the table below.

Cable Connection Length Limitations

Connecting the Channel Injector to a Camera or Video Wall Plate

The channel injectors can be connected to a camera or a video wall plate. The video wall plate can be connected to the channel injector by two methods. The first method connects the camera or video wall plate with CAT-5 or CAT-5E cable directly to a CAT-5/5E data hub (model SDM8D) 110 punch-down block and then connects an RJ-45 patch cord (included) from the data hub RJ-45 jack to the channel injector. The second method connects the camera or video wall plate directly to the eight-position terminal block on the channel injector.

The channel injector was designed to work with CAT-5 or CAT-5E wiring. Although the system will function with quad wire, CAT-5 or CAT-5E wiring will deliver the highest quality picture and allows the use of an automatic line length sensor and picture compensator. See the figure below.

Set Top Modulators (Models SDM21VT, SDM21VTST, SDM41VT, and SDM41VTST)

The set top digital modulators are frequency-agile and installer friendly. They are digitally tuned and convert any baseband video and audio signal to a user-selected UHF, or Ultraband CATV channel. They have push-button programming for setting the desired channel. They provide an output signal level of 25 dBmV.

Each set top modulator has a 5-volt IR engine and connections for IR emitters. When the modulators are used with a video distribution hub (models SDM38VHIR or SDM38VBIR), they allow remote television locations to have IR control of connected video components, such as DVDs, VCRs, and satellite receivers. An IR target (model SDM1VIR) would be required at each television location. An IR emitter (model SDM2VIR) would be required at each device being controlled.

The set top modulators offer loop-through capability. Jumpers (75 ohm termination) are located on the side of each unit. When the terminator is removed, output signals can be looped to a local monitor or VCR.

The MTS (Multichannel Television Sound) stereo sound modulators encode both audio channels using the MTS stereo standard. Stereo and surround sound information will be received by any MTS compatible television receiver.

Features:

• SDM21VT and SDM21VTST have two inputs for modulating DVD, VCR, etc.

• SDM41VT and SDM41VTST have four inputs for modulating DVD, VCR, etc.

• SDM21VTST and SDM41VTST maintain MTS stereo sound

• 25 dBmV output level

• 5-volt IR engines

• Connections for IR emitters (model SDM2VIR)

• Push button programming

• Tuning range: UHF 14–64 and CATV 65–125 (excluding 95–99)

Troubleshooting

FCC Requirements

These products comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: these devices may not cause harmful interference, and these devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Installation Requirements

FCC classifies this product under Part 15 of its rules as a "television interface device.” Systems designed using television interface devices have the following legal requirements:

1. The modulated channel signal strength may not exceed 15.56 dBmV at any television (Federal Regulation 47CFR15.115(b)(1)(i)).

2. If an antenna is used in the system, the modulated channel signal strength may not exceed -51 dBmV at the antenna input port (Federal Regulation 47CFR15.115(c)(4)).

NOTE FOR INSTALLER: The system you design must comply with these regulations. As the installer, you are responsible. The easiest way to be fully compliant is to use a Square D video hub. Square D video hubs have the necessary isolation from the modulator input ports to the antenna input port and gain characteristic from the modulator input ports to the television output ports. These features will make your modulator installation comply with the above requirements. The typical installation shown on page 45 is fully compliant. The channel injectors have the necessary characteristics to comply with the requirements as designed without additional accessories. The model SDM11VMH is suitable for use with an antenna or with CATV systems.The model SDM11VMB is suitable for use with CATV systems only.

Situation Possible Solution

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Programming

Programming New Channels

The new channel selected should be an unused channel. It should have no interference or trace of pictures, just “snow.” There must also be one unused channel above and below the selected channel to avoid interference.

Programming a new channel with the channel injector (models SDM11VMH/SDM11VMB) and set top modulators (models SDM21VT/SDM21VTST and SDM41VT/SDM41VTST) is simple with the push button programming feature.

For the channel injector (models SDM11VMH/SDM11VMB), the “Program” push button is used to enter the channel digits. For a programming example, see the following figure. The example uses channel 120.

For the set top modulators, the “Select” push button is used to choose which modulator input channel to change (A, B, C, or D). Then, the new television channel is programmed using the “Program” push button. For a programming example, see the following figure. The example uses modulator input channel “B,” television channel 60.

General Information and Application Data

For interior installation, the video camera is mounted into drywall using the supplied CADDY® bracket.

Video Camera Connection to Channel Injector Via Data Hub

The video cameras can be connected to the channel injector by two methods. The first method is connecting the video camera directly to a CAT-5/5E data hub (model SDM8D) 110 punch-down block and running an RJ-45 patch cord (included) from the data hub RJ-45 jack to the channel injector RJ-45 jack. The second method is wiring the camera directly to the eight-position terminal block on the channel injector. When wiring to the eight-position terminal block, match CAT-5 or CAT-5E wires to top row of color block and remove the default resistor. If using quad wire, match wiring to bottom row of color bar and leave default resistor in place.

GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING TECHNIQUES

Multi-Link products are designed for easy, trouble-free installation and connection. Any problems encountered with Multi-Link structured wiring installations can most likely be attributed to the situations that are outlined in the table below.

To ensure a properly working system, it is recommended to test each connection during the installation process. If it is necessary to troubleshoot a Multi-Link installation, follow these guidelines to make the troubleshooting process easier:

• Start at the demarcation point of the system.

• Don’t overlook the obvious. For example, make sure all the power supplies are connected.

• Temporarily remove as many Multi-Link products as possible from the system to focus on the specific problem.

• Connect each modulator or video hub directly to a television to verify each Multi-Link product is working properly.

RADIO FREQUENCY TROUBLESHOOTING TECHNIQUES

Thin Rolling Lines or Herringbone Patterns on Many Channels

Cause Solution

Signal strength at television is too high. Usually caused by an over-driven amplifier.

Add one or more in-line attenuators (Multi-Link catalog numbers SDM2503 or SDM2506, see page 65 for more information).

Snowy Channels

Cause Solution

Bad coaxial runs. Check coaxial cable for damage. Replace F-connectors.

Thick Video Bars

Cause Solution

Interference from AC power.Move coaxial cable runs at least 1 ft (.31m) away from AC wiring, HID or florescent lighting ballasts, ground wires and lightning rods.

Hum

Cause Solution

Bad power supply. Replace power supply on affected Multi-Link amplifier or modulator.

Dark Band Moves Up Screen

Cause Solution

Bad power supply. Replace power supply on affected Multi-Link amplifier or modulator.

No Infrared Control Signals

Cause Solution

Either a short in infrared control products (catalog numbers SDM1VIR and SDM2VIR) or a non-IR/DC passing splitter is installed in the system.

Disconnect all IR products. Reconnect one at a time to identify shorted product. Replace shorted IR product. Also replace any non-IR/DC passing splitters in the system.

Multiple Channels Not Displayed by Television

Cause Solution

Too narrow bandwidth on coaxial and/or splitters. Also, television tuner may not be able to accept higher channels (a problem with older television sets).

Use RG-6 coaxial cable. Make sure bandwidth of Multi-Link splitters and amplifiers match incoming system frequency range; replace with higher bandwidth products if needed.

Television Will Not Receive Modulated Signal When Cable Box is Used

Cause Solution

Some Cable Company Boxes will not pass modulated signals.

Install a 2-way splitter ahead of cable box. Connect one side of 2-way splitter to cable box. Connect the other side to a high pass filter (Channelplus catalog number C-BCK). Use another 2-way splitter to combine the output of the cable box with the output from the high pass filter and connect combined signal to television.

Modulated Channels Exhibit Ghosting

Cause Solution

Interference from cable or off-air programming. Also possible result of inadequate coaxial cable.

Make sure coaxial cable has adequate shielding. Also see Modulator Troubleshooting below.

RADIO FREQUENCY TROUBLESHOOTING TECHNIQUES (CONTINUED)

MODULATOR TROUBLESHOOTING FOR CAMERAS

If the modulated channel is not displayed on the television or if the modulated channel is displayed on the television but exhibits ghosting or herringbone patterns, follow the guidelines below:

1. Make sure the channel programmed on the modulator matches the mode to which the television is set. For example, if the modulator is programmed to a channel between channel 14 and channel 69, then make sure the television is set for off air programming. If the modulator is programmed to a channel between channel 69 and channel 125, make sure the television is set for cable television.

2. With the modulator disconnected from the structured wiring system and the incoming cable or antenna signal connected to the structured wiring system, run the autoprogram on the television set. Autoprogram will detect all “used” channels. Make sure the modulator is programmed to a channel which autoprogram did not detect, i.e., an “unused” channel.

3. Connect the modulator output directly to one television and remove the cable or antenna signal from the structured wiring system.

4. If the modulated signal is displayed on the television, then the incoming cable or antenna signal is interfering with the modulated signal. To correct this problem, a filter must be inserted on the incoming signal to clear any cable signal from desired modulated channel. For the filter, see page page 65.

5. If, when the cable or antenna signal is removed from the structured wiring system, the modulated signal does not show up on the television, then the problem may lie with the television set or a cable run. With the cable or antenna signal removed, connect the modulator output to another television set. If the problem still exists, check the relevant coaxial runs for any damage or improperly installed connectors.

Modulated Channel Displays all Snow on Television

Cause Solution

Television tuner and modulator are not set on the same mode (UHF vs VHF). See Modulator Troubleshooting below.

Modulated Channel is a Black Picture on Television

Cause Solution

Modulator is working, but connections from video source to modulator are incorrect.

Make sure video source is powered. Verify good connections from video source (VCR, DVD, etc.) to modulator. Verify video source is working by connecting directly to television. Also see the section Modulator Troubleshooting for Cameras below.

Modulated Channel Exhibits Herringbone Patterns

Cause Solution

Interference from cable or off-air programming. See the section Modulator Troubleshooting for Cameras below.
