RF Level

You should use digital RF meter to measure the RF levels, so you can balance outputs when you combine, and at the TVs when needed.

However, if you only have an analog meter, you can set the QMOD to CW (Continuous Wave). You can measure that with your metere, then set back to QAM 256 for TV reception. The QMOD channels should ba about 6 dB down from the analog channels.

RS-232 Port Wiring

All drawings show pin numbers relative to a PC COM port or typical control system RS-232 ports.

Up to nine tuners can be daisy-chained from one RS-232 control port. Remember that you will need to use the Unit# address in your programming when you control more than one tuner from the same control port.

Set the first unit in the RS-232 chain to the highest Unit#, then wire in sequence to the last tuner in the chain. The reason for this is that CR tuners use an intelligent data bus - the highest number tuner receives all commands, and then passes on commands addressed to tuners with lower unit numbers. The next tuner in the chain does the same, and so on until the last unit.
