DISPLAY READOUT

EXPLANATIONTo activates the correct channel frequency plan, select the country or region where the Profino Revolution Plus SAT is situated. Rotate to select and confirm by tapping the rotary button. The default setting is Europe. The Portofino Revolution Plus SAT is also operational in the following countries/regions: Australia, Brazil, China, Hongkong, Italia, New Zealand, Russia, South Africa, the UK, and the USA.
All the following menu items can be accessed without the reset procedure.
Push the rotary button for 2 seconds to access the menu
INPUT SETTINGS

	Tap the rotary button to enter the INPUT SAT menu. Rotate the button to navigate through the submenu.
	STATE: Select the state of the SAT INPUT: ON or OFF DC: Choose the voltage (13V, 13V + TONE, 18V, 18V + TONE or BYPASS)
	GAIN: set the satellite gain (from 20 to 40 dB) SLOPE: set the slope (from -12 to 0 dB) After INPUT SAT is configured, scroll up to the top of the menu (INPUT SAT), tap the rotary button  and scroll right to INPUT FM.
	Tap the rotary button to enter the INPUT FM menu. Rotate the button to navigate through the submenu.
	To filter and amplify an FM signal, tap GAIN, select the gain of the input FM signal (15 to 35 dB) and tap to confirm. Remark: DAB should be added via VHF input.
	After INPUT FM is configured, scroll up to the top of the menu (INPUT FM), tap the rotary button, and scroll right to INPUT VHF. Tap INPUT VHF to enter the menu to configure input 1. Rotate the rotary button to scroll down in the submenu of INPUT VHF.
	DC: Decide whether the input should provide power to an external amplifier. Choose between OFF or 12 V. Remark: If the external amplifier needs 24 V, you can change this in advanced settings (see further).
	Tap Add Channel to add the channel. Up to 6 channels can be added at once.
	First, select the starting channel (e.g. CH5) and tap to confirm. Then select the stop channel (e.g. CH7, this means that you will add 3 channels). Tap to confirm. Then you can convert them using the rotary button (e.g. CH5 to CH7 converts to CH8 to CH10) and tap to confirm.
	Some other examples: To add CH5 and convert to CH6, select as follows: 5: 5 → 6: 6 To add CH21-22-23 and convert to CH31-32-33, select as follows: 21:23 → 31:33 Remark 1: The value 85dBµV (in the bottom right corner) indicates the incoming level of the channel. Remark 2: For the EU, Italy, and New Zealand region, Channel 13 (230-240MHz) and “VHF” can be used. “VHF” means the whole band is treated in 1 bandpass filter from 174 to 240MHz. Channels “VHF” and CH13 cannot be converted.
	To add another (group of) channel(s), scroll down to ADD CHANNEL and tap to confirm. To prevent bad quality or scrambled images, make sure that only one input channel is assigned to one output channel. If 2 channels are assigned to the same output channel, a star (*) will appear.
	The same applies to adding multiple channels. Make sure that each output channel is selected only once.

After this, the correct LTE filter will be set for the UHF inputs (possible filters are 694MHz, 790MHz, or OFF). If the channels are lower than 48, the 694MHz filter is activated. The 790MHz filter is activated for channels lower than 60.
To delete a (group of) channel(s), position the arrow on the channel and press the rotary button for 3 seconds.

DISPLAY READOUT	EXPLANATION
	To delete a (group of) channel(s), position the arrow on the channel and press the rotary button for 3 seconds.
	When you have added all the channels to INPUT VHF, and you want to add channels to the other inputs, scroll up to the top of the menu (to INPUT VHF), tap the button and scroll to the next input. Repeat the previous steps for all input channels.

OUTPUT SETTINGS

DISPLAY READOUT	EXPLANATION
	Define the OUTPUT LEVEL of the output signal. The range is between 88 dBµV and 108 dBµV. Check the output via a network analyzer on the -30dB test port. Note The more channels you select, the less input power you should give.
	To compensate for cable losses, a VHF/DAB Attenuator of up to 15 dB can be set to lower the VHF and DAB output level (compared to the UHF output level). 0 dB means all channels have the same output level (see previous display readout), 15 dB means that VHF and DAB are 15 dB lower than the chosen output level above.

Note: In the OUTPUT menu, you define the output level in dBµV of the MUXes. The Portofino Revolution Plus has enough gain to guarantee this output level under all input conditions. In case a slope has been set, the output level indicated on the display will be the output level of the highest frequency MUX.

ADVANCED SETTINGS

DISPLAY READOUT	EXPLANATION
	The language of the Profiler Revolution can be set to English, Italian, Spanish or French.
	Tap REGION to check to which region/country the Profiler Revolution is set. To change the region/country, a hard reset is required (see instructions above (cfr. REGION/COUNTRY SETTINGS).
	Define DC VOLTAGE for the inputs, choose between 12V or 24V. This is a global setting for all inputs, each input can then be switched between OFF or this value. (cfr. STEP 2). All countries are set by default on 24V, except UK which is set by default on 12V. The filter bandwidth can be changed from -2000 kHz to 0 kHz in steps of 250 kHz. This allows you to optimize the bandwidth of your filter. For instance, a European 8 MHz channel can be changed from 6 to 8 MHz. The default setting is -1000 kHz, which is an optimal setting in 95% of the cases.
	Tap FW VERSION to check the firmware version of the device.Tap SERIAL NUMBER to check the serial number of the device. To format the SD CARD, tap FORMAT CARD.

EXIT SETTINGS

DISPLAY READOUT	EXPLANATION
	To avoid unauthorized people changing the settings, all Profiler products can be locked with a security code.
	Select LOCK and SET LOCK CODE. When the lock code is set, the device will shut down.
	When you restart the device, you will now have to enter the correct lock code. Remark: If you forgot the lock code, you can always use the value 50. This master code is fixed and cannot be changed.
	If you do not want to work with a lock code, go to EXIT and tap NO LOCK.
