Note
Please consider that only the values, which are desired to be changed for switchover, have to entered
within the configuration window.
Also the desired switch times for the switchover of the desired programs have to be selected.

Note
If programs (e.G. KIKA) are to be switched
over by fixed broadcasting-times, then do

Program = Sonnenklar TV Program = HSE
Output frequency = 503.25 MHz (K25) Output frequency = 503.25 MHz (K25)

Example
- Currently channel 1 (HSE) is active
- Output channel for timer controlled switchover is K25
- Sonnenklar-TV will be switched ON and HSE24 will be switched OFF at 20:00 hrs..

activated channel

Only the active channel has to be selected for this configuration. No further entries necessary.

This time controlled switchover allows to change/ switchover programs of different levels within one module
without an additional RF switch.

Further information for timer configuration

RF signal: This parameter is only available at the 1st selection box.
Not all modules support this configuration.
This can be done only if the respective module supports switching/ selection of the RF signal (see
page 18).

Accept: This function is only available at the 8th selection box.
The adjustments of the input parameters will be overtaken without a reset (see table at page 20).

Color bar: When color bar is ON then datas will be sent to the module and the color bar will be switched off.
The switchoff of the color bar can be done with manual programming but also via via PC/ laptop.
Level adjustments can be done via “Head end overview (button)” by selecting the button
“Output attenuation”.

Following configurations have to be done.

2. Changes of the maximum and minimum values for temperature and voltage
3. Activation of the timer
4. Start of NIT distribution
5. Reset of the Headend Controller HCB x00
6. Changing of adjustments/ configurations (writing protection to the module will be registered)

All changes will be stored and displayed with date and time information only if the clock of the HCB x00 is synchro-
nized.
