A weather sealed F cap is shipped on the units lower right F connector. With the F-cap in place, the slope preemphasis is 12 dB. Replacing the F-cap with a standard 75 ohm terminator changes the slope pre-emphasis to 8 dB. The TAMP6R03 automatic gain control window is adjustable with variable potentiometers per channel. Signal level LEDs glow GREEN when the amplifier is operating within the automatic gain window. With the potentiometers rotated fully clockwise, the output is -15 dBm at the 2150 MHz transponder when the input signal is greater than -44 dBm. With the potentiometers rotated fully counter-clockwise, the output is -24 dBm at the 2150 MHz transponder when the input signal is greater than -53 dBm.

The TAMP6R03 has a selectable slope pre-emphasis of either 8 dB or 12 dB. Placing a terminator on the slope port sets the pre-emphasis to 8 dB. The output signal is -16 at 250 MHz and -15 dBm at 2150 MHz. ADJUSTABLE OUTPUT: The TAMP6R03 has an adjustable automatic gain control window. At maximum output (pot fully clockwise), the output level of the 2150 transponder is -15 dBm. At minimum output, the window moves lower so -50 dBm at 2150 MHz sets the AGC LED to GREEN and the output to -24 dBm. 50-150 FT DISH TO MPOE SLOPE 4 ROOF 99 110 119 101 103 SL5 worldDIRECT 10195 -30 dBm 100 feet RG6 -33 / -40 dBm -34 / -41 dBm FLEX 2 DC SDPI6S FLEX 1 FLEX 2 DC IN 1 IN 2 IN 3 IN 4 IN 5 IN 6 VDC TA M P 612-29 OUT 1 OUT 2 OUT OUT 3 4 OUT 5 OUT 6 SLOPE TERM = 8 dB CAP = 12 dB -20 / -15 dBm PS24 2000A Window Adjust Slope Select 100 Feet RG-6: TAMP6R03, Positive Slope SELECTABLE SLOPE: Slope selection is based on the application. In the example a flat slope was obtained for situations like a COM1000 headend. If the signal is traveling down coax cable and taps, then a positive pre-emphasized slope is desired. The amount of pre-emphasis should be half the total slope to the next amplifier. Placing the F-cap on the slope port provides 5 dB of positive slope for a planned 10 db of coax and tap slope.

An F-cap (shipped with each unit) is placed on the slope port. The TAMP6R03 produces an automatic gain output of -20 dBm at 250 MHz and -18 dBm at 2150 MHz. ADJUSTABLE OUTPUT: The TAMP6R03 at maximum output (pot fully clockwise), requires a minimum input of -42 dBm at 2150 MHz for a GREEN LED and the output to -15 dBm. When the input is less than -42 dBm, the Level Adjustment pots must be turned counter-clockwise until a Green LED is obtained. The PS242000A 24 Volt, 2 Amp power supply powers the SDPI6S, the SL5 LNBs, the WorldDIRECT LNB and the TAMP6 amplifier. 200 FEET DISH TO MPOE 5 ROOF 99 110 119 101 103 SL5 worldDIRECT 10195 -30 dBm 200 feet RG6 -36 / -49 dBm -37 / -50 dBm FLEX 2 DC SDPI6S FLEX 1 FLEX 2 DC PS24 2000A FLEX 1 FLEX 2 DC LA146R FLEX 1 FLEX 2 DC -28 / -36 dBm IN 1 IN 2 IN 3 IN 4 IN 5 IN 6 VDC 12-29 TAMP6 OUT 1 -19 / -15 dBm OUT 2 OUT 3 OUT 4 OUT 5 OUT 6 SLOPE TERM = 8 dB CAP = 12 dB Window Adjust Slope Select 200 Feet: SD LA146R, SDPI6S, TAMP6R03 At 200 feet the signal to the SDPI6S-T is -36 dBm at 250 MHz and -49 dBm at 2150 MHz. The slope is 13 dB. Model LA146R is used as an active equalizer. It provides 5 dB of pre-emphasis. The signal out of the LA146R has a negative 8 dB of slope. (-27 dBm at 250 MHz & -35 dBm at 2150 MHz) If we set the TAMP6R03 at 12 dB slope pre-emphasis produces an automatic gain output of -15 dBm at 250 MHz and -19 dBm at 2150 MHz. (At maximum output pot setting) Models LA146R & TAMP6R03 have energy saving regulators that conserve current from model PS242000A. The two amplifiers and LNBs can be powered by the single supply. The total current is 760 mA.

The slope is 18 dB. Model LA146R provides 5 dB of pre-emphasis. The signal out of the LA146R has a negative 13 dB of slope. (-32 dBm at 250 MHz & -45 dBm at 2150 MHz) We set the TAMP6R03 at 12 dB slope pre-emphasis. The Window Adjust pots are turned counter-clockwise to produce a Green AGC LED. This produces an automatic gain output of -19 dBm at 250 MHz and -20 dBm at 2150 MHz. The slope is still negative but would be fine for feeding multiple switches at the IDF as required for a COM2000 system. If the signals are to be sent down a multiple floor high rise, more pre-emphasis is needed.
