Important Information
10. Grounding or Polarization - This video product is equipped
with either a three prong plug for 110 VAC use or a two prong
flat blade 220 volt type plug. Each type is to be inserted into
only the type of receptacle for which they are specifically
designed. Do not cut off the round grounding pin of a three
prong plug in order to be able to fit into a two prong receptacle
as this could cause injury and will void the warranty.

IF REQUIRED BY LOCAL CODES. SEE NEC
SECTION 810 - 21(f).
f.
When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance
this indicates a need for service.
13. Lightning - For added protection for this product during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended or unused for long
periods of time, the unit should be disconnected from power
source.
19. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be
sure the service technician has used replacement parts speci
fied by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the
original parts. Unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, elec
tric shock or other hazards.
14. Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines, other electric
light or power circuits, where it can fall into such power lines
or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme
care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or
circuits as contact with them may be fatal.
20. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this
product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper operating conditions.
21. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - Before attempting to install this
product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as
to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges.
15. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords
as this can result in risk of fire or electric shock.
16. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into
this product through openings as they may touch dangerous volt-
age points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric
shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
a. Use No.10 AWG (5.3mm ) copper, No.8 AWG (8.4mm)
aluminum, No.7 AWG (10mm) copper-clad steel or
bronze wire or larger, as ground wire.
17. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous volt-
age or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house
with standoff insulators spaced from 4 feet (1.22m) to 6 feet
(1.83m) apart.
c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where
18. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall
outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under
the following conditions:
lead-in enters house.
d. A driven rod may be used as the grounding electrode where
other types of electrode systems do not exist. Refer to the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1984 for
information.
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
product.
e. Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3mm)
copper or equivalent, when a separate antenna grounding
electrode is used.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the product does not operate normally by following the
operating instruction. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions. An improper adjust-
ment may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its
normal operation.
NOTE TO THE CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER:
THIS REMINDER IS PROVIDED TO CALL THE CATV SYSTEM
INSTALLER’S ATTENTION TO ARTICLE 820 - 40 OF
THE NEC THAT PROVIDES GUIDELINES FOR PROPER
GROUNDING AND, IN PARTICULAR, SPECIFIES THAT THE
CABLE GROUND SHALL BE CONNECTED TO THE GROUND-
ING SYSTEM OF THE BUILDING, AS CLOSE TO THE POINT OF
CABLE ENTRY AS PRACTICAL.
e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged

Description
The PFAM-550SUB is a frequency agile double hetero-
dyne conversion audio/video modulator. Its superior
sideband filtering provides adjacent channel compat-
ibility and FCC Docket 21006 frequency accuracy. The
PFAM-550SUB provides 57 3 dB output from sub-
band channel T7 through cable channel 78 including
HRC and IRC off-set frequencies. The channelization
can be changed by resetting the DIP switches accessed
through the front panel. High quality external modu-
lation and RF level controls assure years of reliable
operation. The modulator is shipped with all internal
adjustments pre-set, and FCC Docket 21006 off-
sets are standard at no extra cost. Pico Macom Inc.
backs the product with a five year limited warranty. *

Installation Procedures
Adherence to these precautions will help prevent problems during
initial installation of the PFAM 550SUB.
5. Connect a 1.0 volt peak-to-peak video source to the
“VIDEO IN” on rear panel. Connect the “RF OUT” to a
TV set, and compare the contrast and brightness to a
known signal (use off-air signal to ensure a proper
modulation level). If necessary, adjust the video
modulation until proper contrast is observed.
1. Connect the I.F. jumper from the I.F. output to the
I.F. input on the rear panel.
2. Connect the PFAM 550SUB to a 115 VAC ground-
ed receptacle. Observe the lit LED light indicating
power is on.
3. Using a signal level meter or spectrum analyzer,
set the output level.
4. Check the aural carrier level. It should be set at
15 dBmV below the video carrier.
6. Connect an audio source to the “AUDIO IN” on rear of
the unit. Set audio modulation (peak deviation) to
25 kHz with the audio modulation adjustment. A known
off-air signal and a TV may be used to set adjustment for
equal audio level.
.
WARNING: When connecting the PFAM 550SUB di-
rectly to a TV set, attenuate the output sufficiently to
prevent overdriving the TV. The front panel test point is
useful for monitoring modulator output.
7. Connect the “RF OUTPUT” to a proper combining
network.
FREQUENCY OFFSETS
he Federal Communications Commission requires
Tthat cable system modulators which operate in the
aircraft communications and navigation bands be off-
set in frequency by 12.5 kHz. The PFAM 550SUB PLL
oscillator is factory set to comply with FCC requirements
for frequency accuracy (+/- 5 kHz) in the aeronautical
communication and navigation bands.
FREQUENCY
CHANNEL
NUMBER
OFFSET
108 to 118 MHz ......................................... A,B,C ................... 14,15,16 ...............12.5 kHz
118 to 137 MHz ........................................ A-1, A-1 ............... 99,98 ....................25 kHz
225 to 328.6 MHz ..................................... K - DD ................. 24-40 ....................12.5 kHz
328.6 to 225.4 MHz ................................... FF .........................42 .........................25 kHz
335.4 to 400 MHz ...................................... GG- QQ................43-53 ....................12.5 kHz
Harmonically Related Coherent (HRC) video carriers and Incrementally Related Coherent (IRC) video carriers are
CATV channel assignment methods to reduce the effect of intermodulation products. The technique is used in ex-
pensive phase-locked headends where all units are tied to a master 6.0003 MHz oscillator with a maximum error of
1 Hz.
