Introduction
The Drake® SDM1000 Satellite Demodulator Module
(in tandem with the Drake® MEQ1000 Multiplexing Hy-
brid QAM Modulator) is designed to provide a QT Plus
transcoding solution for the new Shaw Anik G1 satellite.
The SDM1000 is designed to handle the 8PSK turbo FEC
and higher data rate of Anik G1.
Installation
This unit installs into the MEQ1000 chassis in the same
fashion as the DTD1000 Digital Tuner and Demodulator
Module, ASII ASI Input Module, or the SDE24A, HDE24,
and SDI24A Encoder Modules:
1. Ensure power to the MEQ1000 is off.
2. Gently slide the SDM1000 Satellite Demodulator Module
into one of the open input module bays in the rear of the
MEQ1000.
3. Make sure the SDM1000 is inserted all the way into the
MEQ1000. You will kow it is inserted all the when when the
outer lip of the SDM1000 is fl ush against the rear wall of
the MEQ1000.
4. Use one of the encolsed fastening screws to secure the
SDM1000 from coming loose from the MEQ1000.
5. Connect all cables to be input into the SDM1000 and
output from the MEQ1000.
6. Once SDM1000 is inserted into the MEQ1000 and all
cables are securely conencted, power up the MEQ1000 by
inserting the Power Cord into an electrical wall outlet.
DO NOT INSERT THIS ENCODER WITH POWER
APPLIED TO THE MEQ1000 CHASSIS.
RESULTING DAMAGE WILL NOT BE COVERED
BY THE LIMITED WARRANTY.
Cable the inputs appropriately (see the Rear Panel Con-
nections section for details).
