Install the amplifier unit with either the DSIM-CC or DSIM-CF module.
Connect the adapter cable to DSIM and controller, ensuring solid blue light for MGC mode.
Configure the input and output signal levels according to the system's specifications.
Adjust gain based on controller '+' button and outside temperature for optimal performance.
Perform a final adjustment to balance the downstream signal levels.
Press mode to initiate AGC alignment; observe light patterns indicating process and completion.
Disconnect controller and cable from DSIM to finalize setup.
Overview of DSIM AGC modules and controllers, their next-gen capabilities, and operational flexibility.
Details on how the DSIM controller sets pilot channels and changes operational modes for amplifier setup.
MGC mode disables automatic gain control, used during station setup for fixed levels and slopes.
AGC mode automatically adjusts gain based on pilot channel level changes for stable output.
TGC mode is active only when the pilot is lost, compensating with stored temperature/position data.
Default mode for amplifier setup; controller LED is solid blue, DSIM LED blinks blue every half second.
45-second process to lock onto pilot channel and save level; controller flashes blue/red, DSIM flashes CH & type pattern.
DSIM maintains pilot level stability; controller blinks blue every half sec, DSIM shows channel & type.
Handles low pilot signal (TGC) or pilot drop >10dB (AGC thermal fallback) using fallback mechanisms.
In MGC mode, increases RF output level; no function in AGC or TGC modes.
In MGC mode, decreases RF output level; no function in AGC or TGC modes.
Changes modes: MGC to Align, AGC to TGC, TGC to MGC.
DSIM controller to module syncing process during installation.
Indicates the controller is in MGC Mode.
Indicates the controller is in AGC Mode.
Indicates the controller is in TGC Mode.
Manual Mode operation indicated by steady repeating blue dashes on the DSIM module LED.
Indicates the Pilot Channel Number is set; refer to guide for specific sequences.
Indicates an IRC Analog channel is set for the DSIM module.
Indicates a Digital channel is set for the DSIM module.
Indicates TGC Mode is active, typically for cable length compensation.
Pilot paste in progress, or pilot channel not found/lost.
Indicates 24V input is out of operational range (21.5-26.5 VDC).
Indicates DSIM module temperature is too high/low.
Indicates Pilot Lost, switching to TGC mode until pilot is restored.
Instructions for connecting the DSIM controller to the DSIM AGC module using the specified cable.
Procedure for warming up the DSIM module when ambient temperature is below 20°F.
Connect the adapter cable to the DSIM, then plug the controller into the cable.
Observe controller LED flashing red/blue during DSIM syncing process (2-3 seconds).
Controller LED displays constant blue after sync, indicating MGC mode.
Configure input and output levels to match system design requirements.
Adjust gain using the '+' button and temperature-based guidelines.
Perform a final balance of the downstream signal levels.
Press Mode to start alignment; DSIM LED shows pilot code and orange blink for Analog/Digital.
Controller LED blinks blue upon completion, indicating DSIM is in AGC mode.
Disconnect controller cable from DSIM to finalize the setup process.
