Section 1 — General & Safety Instructions
The STOP sign symbol is intended to alert you to the presence of REQUIRED operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions that if not followed, may result in product failure or destruction.
The YIELD sign symbol is intended to alert you to the presence of RECOMMENDED operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions.
The LIGHTNING flash symbol is intended to alert you to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical shock.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER FROM THIS UNIT. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE
NOTE TO 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 grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Safety Instructions YOU SHOULD ALWAYS FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO HELP ENSURE AGAINST INJURY TO YOURSELF AND DAMAGE TO YOUR EQUIPMENT. å Read all safety and operating instructions before you operate the unit. å Retain all safety and operating instructions for future reference. å Heed all warnings on the unit and in the safety and operating instructions. å Follow all installation, operating, and use instructions. å Unplug the unit from the AC power outlet before cleaning. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning the exterior of the unit. å Do not use accessories or attachments not recommended by Blonder Tongue, as they may cause hazards, and will void the warranty. å Do not operate the unit in high-humidity areas, or expose it to water or moisture. å Do not place the unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall, causing serious personal injury and damage to the unit. Install the unit only in a mounting rack designed for 19” rack-mounted equipment.
BAVM-860 SAW Series 5 Instruction Manual
Safety Instructions - continued å Do not block or cover slots and openings in the unit. These are provided for ventilation and protection from overheating. Never place the unit near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not place the unit in an enclosure such as a cabinet without proper ventilation. Do not mount equipment in the rack space directly above or below the unit. å Operate the unit using only the type of power source indicated on the marking label. Unplug the unit power cord by gripping the plug, not the cord. å The unit is equipped with a three-wire ground-type plug. This plug will fit only into a ground-type power outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the ground-type plug. å Route power supply cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit. å Be sure that the outdoor components of the antenna system are grounded in accordance with local, federal, and National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements. Pay special attention to NEC Sections 810 and 820. See the example shown in the following diagram:
å W e strongly recommend using an outlet that contains surge suppression or ground fault protection. For added protection during a lightning storm, or when the unit is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the lines between the unit and the antenna. This will prevent damage caused by lightning or power line surges. å D o not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care to avoid touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them can be fatal. å Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electrical shock. å N ever insert objects of any kind into the unit through openings, as the objects may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts. This could cause fire or electrical shock. å D o not attempt to service the unit yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage and will void the warranty. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel. å Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to authorized service personnel whenever the following occurs:
o The power supply cord or plug is damaged;
o Liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit;
o The unit has been exposed to rain or water;
o The unit has been dropped or the chassis has been damaged;
o The unit exhibits a distinct change in performance.
å W hen replacement parts are required, ensure that the service technician uses replacement parts specified by Blonder Tongue. Unauthorized substitutions may damage the unit or cause electrical shock or fire, and will void the warranty. å U pon completion of any service or repair to the unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to ensure that the unit is in proper operating condition.

Section 2 — Product Summary 2.1 Product Application & Description Application: The BAVM-860 SAW is an all solid state audio/video modulator that provides a modulated visual and aural RF carrier output on any single CATV channel 2 to 79. The modulator can be used to put sound and color video on any of the above listed channels in a CATV, MATV or SMATV system. The modulator accepts standard (sync negative) polarity video at a 0.7-2.5 V P-P level from sources such as a TV camera, video tape recorder, TV demodulator or satellite receiver. The BAVM-860 SAW features a +55 dBmV RF output level, and IF SAW filtering for adjacent channel operation. All aeronautical channels are offset positive with a tolerance of ±5 kHz as required by FCC 21006. For ease of operation, all level controls are located on the front panel. A block diagram of the BAVM-860 SAW is shown below. The audio/video modulator accepts a baseband video and audio input and outputs an RF CATV channel. The RF level control provides up to +55 dBmV output. The video modulator control sets the depth of modulation of 87.5% over an input video level range from 0.7VP/P to 2.5VP/P. An audio modulation control permits adjustment for ±25 kHz peak deviation of the aural carrier. The BAVM-860 SAW also provides a field-defeatable pre-emphasis network and an aural level control to ensure the proper aural/visual ratio. A six foot cord and a convenience AC outlet on each amplifier permits easy connections between racked units.

Stereo Option: When using the BAVM-860 SAW with a stereo encoder it may be necessary to disable the audio pre-emphasis circuit. Refer to your stereo encoder’s instruction manual for required modulator settings. Should the audio preemphasis need to be disabled, move the jumper according to the diagram at the right. AUDIO PRE-EMPHASIS ENABLE DISABLE NOTE: Blonder Tongue’s SE Series of stereo encoders do not require the audio pre-emphasis to be disabled. When it comes to using the SE Series with a BAVM-860 SAW, keep the jumper as it comes from the factory in the enable position.

Table 1 - Installation Precautions Table
PRECAUTIONS
REQUIREMENTS
Avoid Heat Buildup Allow (1) EIA rack space (1.75") between powered headend products in the equipment racks.
Ensure easy access to rack wiring. Allow a minimum of 18 inches behind the equipment rack(s).
Facilitate servicing and maintenance. Allow a minimum of 36” of clearance in front of the equipment rack(s).
Avoid direct heating or air conditioning.
AC power source outlets. Locate equipment near sufficient outlets to provide power for test equipment and power tools.
Rack Support. Make certain rack supports are sufficiently rigid to support racks.
Building leakage. Beware of dripping water onto equipment from leaky roofs, waveguide roof entries, and cold water pipe condensations.
If unavoidable, use deflector plates.

Section 4 – Preparation for Use & Typical Application After installing the unit, make the following adjustments:
4.1 Audio Modulation With audio source connected, adjust Audio Modulation control for 25 kHz deviation. In lieu of an audio modulation meter, use a TV set and adjust for equal volume as compared to a known off-air broadcast. Monitor for a few minutes to assure the maximum volume does not over modulate, which can cause picture distortion.
4.2 Video Modulation With a nominal 1 volt P-P video source connected, adjust the Video Modulation control for 85% depth of modulation. If a spectrum analyzer is not available, a TV set can be used to check for proper picture contrast.
