reverse sweep and reverse noise features. This will speed
up the SDA-5500’s forward sweep. Also, be sure the
telemetry frequencies of the headend units are different.
• Forward Sweep Insertion Level (Transmit and SDA Compatible
Transmit (OPT2) modes only): This is the level at which sweep
insertion points will be inserted; 40 or 50 dBmV is the max. Sweep points
should be 14-16 dB below the video reference level. Sweep points fall on
the video and/or audio frequency of unused channels by default, but can
be moved.
• Forward Telemetry Level (Transmit and SDA Compatible Transmit
(OPT2) modes only): This setting determines the level of the telemetry
signal (FSK). This should be set 10 dB below the video reference level.
The telemetry level is adjustable from 20-50 dBmV in 2 dB increments.
The max is 50 dBmV, however some older units may have a max of 40
dBmV.
• Enable Reverse Sweep (Transmit and SDA Compatible Transmit
(OPT2) modes only): This setting allows reverse sweep to operate in
the Transmitter. If it’s disabled, forward sweep will be faster but reverse
sweep will be inoperable.
• Enable Live Headend Ingress View (Transmit and SDA Compatible
Transmit (OPT2) modes only): When enabled, this setting allows
reverse noise to be transmitted on the forward telemetry. If it’s disabled,
the forward sweep will be faster.
• Reverse Sweep Operation (Stealth and SDA Compatible Stealth
modes only): Select Single User for reverse operations associated with
a SDA-5500. Select Multiple Users for reverse operations associated
with a SDA-5510.
• Sweep Direction (Stealth and SDA Compatible Stealth modes only):
There are two possible sweep directions on SDA-5000 field units with the
reverse sweep option (OPT1): Forward and Reverse. Use the Edit Box to
select the direction desired, and then press the Enter key.
NOTE: When sweeping, you can change direction by
simply pressing the left diamond key for reverse, or the
right diamond key for forward sweeping.
• Reverse Telemetry Level (Transmit and SDA Compatible Transmit
(OPT2) modes only): The reverse telemetry level is the level of the
carrier that the SDA-5000 uses to transmit telemetry data. Use the Edit
