INSTALLATION
CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLS
All connections to and from each modulator are
made through the rear panel. Figure 4
illustrates an installation with (12) modulator
units combined through a passive signal
combiner. Additional channels can be added by
using additional fixed channel or agile type
modulators and either multi-port combiners or
combinations of two-port combiners.
INSTALLATION NOTES
Level adjustment provides optimum
performance in multi-channel installations.
The modulator outputs should be checked
periodically with a spectrum analyzer to

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENT
This VMM860AG agile modulator requires more
current than the fixed channel units. Therefore,
new 12 position rack installations with multiple
VMM860AG modulators (up to 12) must use the
Drake PSM121 (or equivalent) high capacity
power supply module.
The power supply in the four position rack
system can power up to four VMM860AG
modulators or any mix of fixed and agile VMM
models up to four total modulators.
maintain a ±1 dB variation of adjacent channel
carriers. Aural/Visual (A/V) ratios should be
held to -15 dB or less. The output 'RF' and 'A/V
(Ratio)' controls are used respectively to make
these adjustments.
RACK MOUNTING
Adequate ventilation is very important in
multi-channel installations. The RMM12 or
RMM4 cages should be spaced apart vertically
by at least one rack unit (1.75") height wherever
possible. Some air movement is mandatory in
enclosed rack cabinets. Excessive heat will
shorten component life and modulator perfor-
mance will be degraded without proper cooling.

FREQUENCY CHART
The chart on the following page shows the
standard CATV channel coverage of the
VMM860AG. Where an offset is indicated, this
amount of positive frequency offset is added to
the frequency indicated in the middle column.
As shown, this occurs only on channels
required to be offset by the FCC.
HRC or IRC frequencies can be set by means
of an internal jumper. See Figure 3. No jumper
will result in the STD channel plan selection.
