1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS and GENERAL WARNINGS

The below-indicated safety precautions and general warnings must be carefully observed during
all phases of use, maintenance and servicing of the instrument to avoid damages to persons,
animals and property.
UNAOHM START S.r.l. assumes no responsibility for incorrect use of the instrument or if
the norms specifed are not followed.
1.1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Supply the instrument with a voltage within the limits indicated in the specifcations.
Insert the three prong plug of the power cord (standard accessory) in a standard mains outlet,
equipped with valid electric ground protection (the instrument is in the Class 1 category).
Do not use the instrument unless completely housed with all covers on.
This instrument has been designed for indoor use. Do not expose it to rain or water dripping.
Do not use the instrument in an explosive environment due to the presence of gas or
infammable fumes or dust.
The instrument may be used in over-voltage Category II and Pollution Degree 2.
Do not turn on the instrument immediately after transferring it from a very cold place to a hot
one to avoid condensation.
Neither obstruct the instruments cooling slits nor place it near a strong source of heat.
For prolonged use or heavy duty in the lab or in fxed places, the instrument should be taken off
its carrying case to allow for better heat dissipation.
Do not apply higher DC or RF voltages than those indicated, to the input connectors.
We recommend periodic inspection of the carrying strap, its related fasteners and spring locks
since they could be damaged with use. As soon as a sign of wear is noticed, replace the strap.
When the instrument is equipped with a battery, we recommend
1) Do not short-circuit the battery since it may explode.
2) Do not immerse the battery in water or dispose of in the fre.
3) Do not perforate or try to open the battery.
4) When replacing the battery, use one of the same kind and dispose of the old one in a
proper ecological disposal containers.
5) Do not connect the battery with inverted polarity.
This symbol will appear when it is necessary for the user to consult the instruction manual
for additional information and in order to protect the instrument from damage.
Be extremely careful. Dangerous voltages are present.
MARK
This instrument is in conformity with the following standards and documents:
EMC : EN55011, EN61000-3-2, EN61000-3-3, EN61000-4-2, EN61000-4-3, EN61000-4-4,
EN61000-4-5, EN61000-4-6, EN61000-4-8, EN61000-4-11, ENV50204.
Safety Regulations: EN 61010-1
1.2. GENERAL WARNINGS

The monitor liquid is harmful. If the module breaks, the liquid could come out so do not touch it with
your hands or any part of your body. Be especially careful for your eyes and mouth. In case of direct
contact with your skin, wash with soap and water.
Do not expose the LCD readout to direct sunlight or to intense ultraviolet rays for a long time because
they may cause its deterioration.
Keep the instrument in a place where the temperature is higher than the minimum storage temperature
otherwise the liquid crystal solidifes causing damage to the monitor. Also, when maximum warehousing
temperatures are exceeded, the liquid crystal returns to the isotropic state and it may not be possible to
invert it.
One of the most frequent needs for technical assistance or repair is caused by internal short-circuits
due to the introduction in the instrument of foreign objects, even if very small, in spite of all the
precautions taken to prevent this possibility. We therefore highly recommend not to cut coaxial cables
above the instrument since even very small pieces of wire from the shielding braid could fall into the
instrument and cause intermittent short-circuiting which may even be diffcult for service and repair
technicians to locate.
1.3. MAINTENANCE
The only maintenance permitted is: the connection or replacement of the battery and/or fuses,
and retroftting optional cards/modules as specifed in the manual.
The opening of the instrument and any further servicing must be carried out exclusively by qualifed
personnel or, in any case, operators who have basic electrotechnical and electrical safety knowledge and
qualifcations.
Before servicing disconnect the power cord from the mains.
For instruments equipped with a battery please refer again to note 1.1.
When replacing fuses maintain the same value and type.
Do not come into contact with circuit parts/components such as capacitors which,
while not powered, maintain a dangerous electric charge (capacitors).
Take appropriate measures against the accumulation of electrostatic charges. Do not touch internal
circuits unless wearing an appropriate antistatic strap.
To clean the exterior surfaces:
1) Disconnect the power cord.
2) Use a soft cloth.
3) Use non aggressive liquid detergents avoiding hydrocarbon based products.
4) Make sure liquids or other substances are not spilled into the instrument.
1.4. NOTES
Some more or less luminous pixels may remain evident on the LCD screen.
Their presence should be considered normal and falls within the production tolerance of the monitor.
The tolerances quoted refer to an instrument at normal usage temperature
(approx. 20 minutes after turn on).
Avoid falls and strong shocks to the instrument and when transporting it in vehicles place
it on a support that is not rigid in order to avoid strong vibrations.
The instrument may be used either in the horizontal position, seated on the bottom,
or in vertical position, seated on the back end.
Before using the instrument we recommend carefully reading the instructions in this manual.
Perform an operating check of the instrument regularly, at least once a year.
We recommend to send it in for service if miscalibrated. As a good preventive measure for safety,
replace worn out bags and straps by all means, to avoid accident. See also paragraph 1.1.

NOTE: when performing the above-mentioned operations make sure that the
plastic protections on the battery packs remain intact covering the metal body
of the elements. Any contact between these elements and the chassis could
seriously damage the batteries.
5 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
5.1. PREPARING THE INSTRUMENT FOR USE
5.1.1. Conditioning, adding, replacing the batteries
For safety purposes (due to the possibility that damages may be caused during transport), the
instruments leave our factory with fat batteries. These batteries reach normal operating capacity
after at least three complete charge/discharge cycles. To add a second battery or to replace one:
Remove the instrument from its carrying case and open it following the instructions in Figure 4.
For access to the battery holder follow the instructions in Figure 5.
Add or replace the battery and connect it to the related terminals exclusively following the
indications in Figure 5.
Close the instrument and place it back in its carrying case after ensuring that the insulating
protections have been properly placed.

EP3000EVO (Rev. 1) 20
Figure 5
21 EP3000EVO (Rev. 1)
5.1.2. Power supply

The feld strength meter may be powered in three modes:
1) Directly from the mains. The instrument operates on mains from 90V to 260 V. The protection
fuses are internal and not serviceable.
NOTE If there is an interruption in the fuses, do not replace them; send the instrument back to
the factory for servicing.
Connect the three prong socket of the power cord (C84, a standard accessory), to the mains
socket (37) of the instrument.
Place the slide of the power switch (36) to | , the indicator Ch (13) lights up to confrm the
presence of the mains voltage and the fact that the battery charger is operating.
In these conditions the instrument is set to Stand-by (powered but not operating).
2) By means of an internal battery (to ft a spare battery-optional extra- refer to the illustration in
Figure 5, and chapter 5.1.1).
3) By means of an external Vdc source of power, between 11.5 V and 15.5V; a minimum current of
5 A may be drawn.
The instrument automatically selects the most convenient power supply source: frst mains, then
external, and if neither is available, the internal battery.
If two batteries have been ftted on the meter, it is possible to select either one by means of the
manual switch BATTERY A-B (44).
5.2. TURN ON/OFF
To turn on the instrument keep the key PWR (21) pressed. If powered by mains the LED
(11) will also light up. To turn the instrument off keep the same key pressed for a few extra
seconds.
WARNING: to turn off instruments with batteries it is not enough to use the power switch
O (36) because they would continue to be operative. The meter must be turned off by
pressing the key PWR (21) for a short time. Subsequently, if necessary, activate the
general power switch O (36).
This procedure also guarantees a non volatile storage of the data loaded during the working
session and the automatic recall of the instrument to the same operating mode as that at the time
the instrument was turned off last (see section 5.7).
If the instrument is not used for a period of time exceeding 10 minutes (without pressing any key
at all), it automatically turns off to avoid unnecessary consumption of the battery. To disengage
this automatic turn off device, follow the indications found under AUTO POWER OFF of the menu
activated by pressing the key ENTER (30) twice (see 5.14.1.9).
EP3000EVO (Rev. 1) 22
5.3 . HOW TO USE THE BATTERY

If mains voltage is present, or the value of the external Vdc power is suffcient, the instrument,
when on Stand-By, recharges the internal battery. If two batteries have been ftted inside, both are
recharged.
Some important notes about battery use are:
We recommend recharging the battery when the instrument is brand new (see section 5.1.1.).
Just before total battery fatness, the warning LOW BATT fashes on the display (17). At this
point, we recommend interrupting the use of the instrument as soon as possible and recharging
the battery. If, instead, the meter is operated for an additional period of time (5 10 minutes
max) the writing BATTERY appears and the instrument turns off.
When the instrument remains inactive for long periods of time, we recommend recharging the
battery at least once a month to avoid self-discharge
We also recommend turning the meter on at least once a month for a few hours also to
recharge the second internal battery that supplies the clock and the memory of the GPS
module (when ftted).
5.3.1. Battery Status
To know the status of the battery charge and thereby the residual operative charge time left, refer
to Battery Status on the main menu (see section 5.14.1.8).
5.4. DEFAULT CONDITIONS
When the meter is turned on, display (17) shows the number of the installed software release for a
few seconds, then the meter automatically sets to the same operating mode as that of the last working
session before it was turned off by means of the key PWR (21) except in the following cases:
For safety reasons, the power supply voltage is always disengaged at the output of the RF IN
(19) connector.
The measurement status of the QPSK , OFDM or QAM digital signals is not recalled.
Each time a key is pressed, to confrm the operation, a short beep is emitted.
The beep, if desired, may be disengaged by recalling the appropriate utility
menu by keeping the key with the volume symbol (9) pressed (see section 5.5).
5.4.1. Reset
To return the instrument to default conditions keep the key RST (20) pressed. This operation
makes it possible to exit from precarious or panic situations (for example following an incorrect
adjustment of analogue controls).
5.5. VOLUME ADJUSTMENT
The volume may be adjusted only on the MEA or TV mode. To do so press the key with the
volume symbol (9) then adjust the volume by means of the Shaft Encoder. Press ENTER (30) to
confrm the adjustment or wait for time out.
5.5.1. Brightness, contrast, colour, hue, buzzer and volume adjustment
Press the Volume control a few times in sequence until the desired adjustment appears. Adjust the
value by means of the Shaft Encoder. Press ENTER (30) to confrm or wait for time out. The hue
is adjustable only in NTSC.
5.6. TUNING
The tuning may be carried out by frequency, channel or program. To select the mode press the
related key: PR (26) for program or CH FR (27) to alternate between channel and frequency
23 EP3000EVO (Rev. 1)
modes. On the alphanumerical LCD readout the cursor indicates the tuning mode selected.
Regardless of the mode selected, tuning is carried out by means of the Shaft Encoder (18)
or the numerical keyboard (28). If setting the channel or the program, confrm by means
of ENTER (30).
In the terrestrial bands, the readout visualizes the frequency, the channel numbers (if allocated)
and any connected programs, while in the SAT band the frequency and program numbers, if
any, are displayed.
The channel number displayed, with reference to a specifc frequency, depends on the selected
channel format.
The entry of the digits for frequency may be terminated by means of ENTER (30) instead of
the remaining decimals.
To digit satellite frequencies from 900 to 2150 MHz place a zero before the number (for
example, 0934.7).
To compose a channel number lower than ten place a zero before it.
To select the digit to be set by the Shaft Encoder (and then pass from fne to coarse tuning or
vice versa) use the keys or (22 and 20).
To select some channels it may be necessary to digit one or more letters by pressing the
specifc key . (28) which switches from digits to letters. For example, to tune channel S28:
Press . .
Press 7 pqrs four times.
Press 2 (A is displayed).
Press . . A becomes 2.
Press 8.
Press ENTER (30).
For safety reasons, if the Shaft Encoder is used to go below 900 MHz or if the maximum
frequency is reached, the minimum value is reset and the LNB, if on, is turned off .
The TV standard and the channel format are set by means of the related menu (see 5.8.10.1
and 5.8.10.2).
In the satellite band it is possible to alternate the frequency display among 1
st
IF, OL1, OL2 by
means of the key LO (16) (see the following paragraph).
5.6.1. Local oscillator (LO) engaged menu
If the key LO (16) is kept pressed, the list of the four quadruplets of available local oscillators
is displayed.
5.6.1.1. Local oscillator (LO) selection
The majority of LNBs has two or four local oscillators. When working on an installation, it is
necessary to alternately select the higher or the lower frequency. Not all LNBs use the same
frequency couple. The instrument offers four frequency quadruplets.
To select a frequency quadruplet, place the Shaft Encoder on LO ACTIVE GROUP,
press ENTER (30), select the desired group among those listed
by pressing ENTER in sequence.
To program the frequencies, select the desired one by means of the Shaft Encoder and confrm
by means of ENTER. Set by means of the numerical keyboard or the Shaft Encoder, confrm by
means of ENTER.
To exit the menu press LO.

Remember that the stored programs are also used by the Data Logger.
To store a frequency or channel in one of the 200 available program memory locations:
I. Set the number of the program where the frequency (or channel) is to be allotted.
II. Set the frequency (or channel).
III. Press the key STORE (26) twice.
IV. When storage has been carried out, the indication STO momentarily appears on the
alphanumerical display.
V. Proceed, if desired, with the storage of additional programs.
WARNING if the LNB power supply voltage is inserted when storing, it will also be applied
by the Data Logger and not by the direct recall of a program.
NOTE To store a channel the procedure requires, not only the acquisition of the video / audio
carriers but also that of other parameters such as BW (bandwidth), STD (TV-standard). As a
result, when recalling a stored SAT frequency program, the video and audio are simultaneously
presented; we therefore recommend, each time a SAT channel is to be stored, the desired
audio subcarrier should frst be tuned (See section 5.10.3.).
5.7.1. STORE engaged menu
If the key PR STORE (26) is kept pressed, access is acquired to the inspection/modifcation menu
of the stored programs. Once the operations have been carried out press PR STORE again to exit
the menu.
5.7.1.1. Inspection/modifcation of the stored channels
The monitor displays the table of the program currently stored. The table may be for analogue or
digital, terrestrial or satellite channels.

Analogue satellite channel. Digital satellite channel.
EP3000EVO (Rev. 1) 26
For terrestrial channels, on top is the program number, the name given by the operator, the
frequency, the TV-standard, the channel number, the channel format, the type of demodulator, the
measurement bandwidth, the LNB voltage and its eventual engagement.
For satellite channels, the TV-standard is replaced by the video polarity, the channel by the local
oscillator. The channel format is not necessary.
The central part of the screen shows the digital channel reception parameters or the audio
subcarrier frequency as far as analogue satellite channels are concerned. For satellite channels,
both analogue and digital, the DiSEqC command transmitted is also indicated. On the bottom is
the indication of the engagement status of the additional measurements for the Data Logger: C/N,
V/A for analogue channels and the BER for digital channels.
Spin the Shaft Encoder to view the various programs stored.
It is possible to modify the program displayed as follows:
Press ENTER (30), select the desired item by means of the Shaft Encoder.
Press ENTER, change the value by means of the numerical keyboard or the Shaft Encoder.
Press ENTER to confrm.
Other operations possible are:
Storage of the program as shown on the screen by pressing PR STORE (26) twice in rapid
sequence.
Cancel the program displayed by keeping the key PR STORE pressed for a few seconds
selecting SINGLE via shaft encoder, pressing ENTER, selecting YES and, at last, confrming
through ENTER.
Cancel the program displayed by keeping the key PR STORE pressed for a few seconds
selecting ALL via shaft encoder, pressing ENTER, selecting YES and, at last, confrming
through ENTER.
To exit from the function press PR STORE once quickly.
5.8. MEASUREMENT
When the key MEA (3) is pressed access
is given to Measurement functioning mode.
the instrument supplies the following information:
On display (17):
the signal level in numerical format,
in dBV, dBmV, dBm or V.
On the screen (1):
The relative analogue level in the form
of a bargraph with a rule scale (2).
TV picture (partial),
if the TV demodulator has been selected.
TV synch waveform.
In audio:
Acoustic level tone, if required (see 5.8.1.1).
5.8.1. MEA engaged menu
NOTE: some items on this menu
(as, for example, the video flter and the DCP)
will be explained further on in this manual,
in the specifc chapters.
For the access to the menu keep the key MEA C/N (3) pressed. By means of the Shaft Encoder
Integral or simplifed mode
DCP measurement
The power of a digital signal
is distributed in the band occupied by the
channel; an accurate measurement may
be carried out either by a meter with the
same bandwidth as the signal or by a
meter with a lower bandwidth, summing
or integrating the measurements neces-
sary to explore the entire channel. This
requires time in addition to calculations.
The simplifed measurement consists in
carrying out a measurement within the
channel and correcting the value for the
different bandwidths. This method, while
correct, does not take into account level
variations within the channel, therefore it
is potentially less accurate.
27 EP3000EVO (Rev. 1)
select the desired item and press ENTER (30) to confrm. Once the operations have been
carried out, press the same MEA C/N key to exit.
5.8.1.1. Engaging the aural tone
Press ENTER (30) to alternately engage or disengage it.
The tone becomes increasingly pitchy as the signal level rises. If the input signal exceeds full scale
the tone becomes warbled to indicate that more attenuation is needed to bring the signal back to a
readable length. Since the tone pitch is proportional to signal level (or power), it may conveniently
be used for fne dish or aerial peaking without having to look at the screen.
5.8.1.2. DEM, Demodulator selection
Select the three measurement demodulators as follows:
TV, for video carrier of TV signals (with simultaneous selection of the intercarrier audio mode).
AM, for amplitude modulated carriers.
FM, for frequency modulated carriers.
In all three cases the corresponding audio or level tone indicator is available on the loudspeakers.
To alternately include/exclude the video flter press ENTER (30). The video flter is also used in
the Spectrum or Expanded mode.
5.8.1.4. * SOURCE, Input source selection
Press ENTER (30) to alternately select RF (radio frequency, from 5 MHz to 2150 MHz), IF (38.9
MHz intermediate frequency) or EXT (SCART).
5.8.1.5. UNIT, selection of the unit of measure
Press ENTER (30) to select in sequence dBV, dBm, dBmV, V. The selection is valid for both
analogue and digital signals.
5.8.1.6. DCP INTEGRAL measurement mode
Press ENTER (30) to carry out the integral DCP measurement mode (see box on page 27).
5.8.1.7. DCP PRMT or DCP measuring parameters
Selecting this menu gives access to a submenu with two choices:
DCP SAT CH BW, to select the digital satellite channel bandwidth by means
of the Shaft Encoder.
DCP TER CH BW, to select the digital terrestrial channel bandwidth by means
of the Shaft Encoder.
5.8.1.8. C/N PRMT, C/N measuring parameters
This menu too gives access to a submenu with four items:
SAT ANF (Analogue Noise Frequency). To set the noise reference frequency for satellite band
analogue signal measurements.
SAT DNF (Digital Noise Frequency). To set the noise reference frequency for satellite band
digital signal measurements.
VHF-UHF ANF (Analogue Noise Frequency). To set the noise reference frequency for terrestrial
band analogue signal measurements.
VHF-UHF DNF (Digital Noise Frequency). To set the noise reference frequency for terrestrial
band digital signal measurements.
MODE AUTO (ON) or (OFF). To select the C/N measurement mode between automatic (ON)
and manual (OFF). The selection is made by pressing ENTER (30).
EP3000EVO (Rev. 1) 28
5.8.1.9. *V/A, Video/Audio ratio measurement

When ENTER (30) is pressed, the video/audio ratio measurement is carried out according to the
TV-standard set. Depending on the TV-standard in use, the stereo carrier may also be measured.
5.8.2. Measurement bandwidth setting
Two bandwidths are available in the terrestrial band: n (100 kHz) and w (1 MHz). Three bands are
available in the satellite bands: k (100 kHz), n (1 MHz), w (4 MHz). The bandwidths are selected
in sequence by means of the key RBW (29). As a rule, we recommend using the wider bandwidth
since it is less critical, unless there is an interference caused by nearby signals (for example in
the TV channels the audio stereo carrier may be measured only in the n band since otherwise
the audio mono carrier would interfere with it). To be sure it would be a good idea to check the
difference in the expanded spectrum mode (see 5.11).
5.8.3. Use of the attenuator
The instrument full scale value is 70 dBV. Beyond this level it is necessary to engage attenuation.
The attenuator goes from 0 to 60 dB in steps, commanded by the keys M+ (25) and M-(24).
When additional attenuation is inserted, the instrument takes it into consideration, and indicates
the real input value. Next to the level measurement (see Figure 3 c) the sign > appears if full scale
is exceeded; in this case attenuation must be increased. If, on the contrary,
the symbol < appears, this means that the level is lower than minimum measurable and the
attenuation should be reduced. The instrument carries out these two operations directly if the
attenuator is on the automatic mode (on the Spectrum Analyzer mode the attenuator is only
manual).
5.8.3.1. 2 or 10dB attenuation steps
When the instrument is used normally, the attenuation varies in 10 dB steps.
In some cases ( control of saturation or critical equalizations) a 2 dB step may be useful.
If so, keep the key M+ (25) pressed until the selected menu appears; the key ENTER (30)
alternates between the 2 and 10 dB steps. Press the key M+ (25) briefy to exit the menu.
NOTE: if the instrument is operating in the 2 dB mode and you switch to the 10 dB mode,
attenuation is rounded to the nearest 10 dB.
5.8.3.2. Manual and automatic attenuation
The operator may choose between the two functioning modes of the attenuator. The keys M+ and
M- (25 and 24) program the manual mode if pressed briefy; the key M-, if kept pressed, programs
the automatic mode. We recommend keeping in mind the following considerations when selecting
either mode:
Use the automatic mode when operating on a preset frequency (stored programs or specifc
channels) which does not require any manual tuning by the operator, because when the
automatic mode is operating, it is more diffcult to fnd the maximum indication and that type of
functioning mode should be avoided. For the same reasons we recommend using the manual
mode when pointing the antenna.
NOTE: As with any receiver, the presence of numerous high level
1
channels in the reception band may
generate spurious signals if the operator does not use the attenuator appropriately. In these
conditions, when carrying out automatic measurements, frequencies might be measured at
unpredictable levels which in reality are not occupied by channels. Special attention should be
given when using the Data Printout (section 5.12), C/N measurement (5.8.7), or Data Logger
(5.12.1.8) functions.
1 As far as saturation is concerned each time the number of same-level-signals is doubled, we get a 3 dB increase in power, e.g., two 90 dBV signals
correspond to one 93 dBV signal, four signals to one 96 dBV signal, eight signals to one 99 dBV signal and so on.
29 EP3000EVO (Rev. 1)
Use the manual mode when looking for the maximum or minimum level by means of tuning or in other
operations like antenna pointing. Many expert operators prefer to use the attenuator in the
manual mode because it makes level variations more evident.
WARNING:
When measuring pure noise or digital signals, it is important to keep in mind that this type of signal easily
saturates the input stages, therefore it is important to make the following considerations:
As far as possible, the measurement should be carried out by means of the attenuator in the manual mode.
To make sure that the input is not saturated check that the level measurement does not change
drasti cally when the attenuation is changed.
The narrower the measurement bandwidth (w, n, k), the higher the risk of overload
The instrument places an asterisk near the measurement levels printed which could potentially
be affected by an error due to overload.
5.8.4. Level measurement
Connect the signal to be measured to the RF IN (19) input connector.
To establish the unit of measure see 5.8.1.5. Program the demodulator suitable to the type of
signal to be measured, TV for analogue television video carriers, FM for Frequency Modulated
carriers, AM for Amplitude Modulated carriers).
5.8.5. Synch pulse
The horizontal synch pulse appears on the left side of the screen in the measurement mode
as on any oscilloscope. Very important information may be obtained by observing it, especially
in the terrestrial band. For example, a reduction in the pulse implies the beginning of a certain
compression in the headend power amps, whereas a reduction/increase of the colour burst means
that the amplifer of the observed channel is not correctly calibrated.
5.8.6. DCP, Digital Channel Power
It is possible to carry out the exact DCP measurement, integrating all the energy of the digital
channel (see 5.8.6.1 for more), or an estimated measurement based on calculation (see 5.8.6.2.
for more). The integrated measurement is very accurate, while the estimated one is faster.
The digital signals may be equated to noise with respect to the level measurement, and for this
reason we recommend keeping in mind the considerations in Chap 5.8.3.2.
WARNING:
input voltages higher than the maximum limit: 100 V DC or 5 Vpp
may damage the instrument.
Do not apply continuous voltage to the input when the LNB is supplied.
EP3000EVO (Rev. 1) 30
5.8.6.1. DCP, Integral measurement

To start the measurement press ENTER (30). The instrument carries out the measurement for the
tuned channel based on the parameters set under 5.8.1.7. (which see). The result is shown directly on
the menu display.
5.8.6.2. DCP, Estimated measurement
Setting one of the two markers as digital allows the instrument to directly carry out the conversion
and show the DCP reading on the LCD readout (17) based on the set bandwidth (see 5.8.1.7).
5.8.7. Carrier/Noise ratio measurement
The Carrier/Noise (C/N) ratio measurement is carried out by the instrument in different ways, according
to the terrestrial or satellite band and the analogue or digital signal. Theoretically, the noise measurement
should be carried out by turning off the carrier; however, since this is out of the operators control; a
nearby frequency can be selected as long as it is carrier free. This frequency is set in the menu shown
once MEA C/N (3) is pressed (see 5.8.1.8 for details). The measurement may be started in Spectrum
Analyzer or Measurement mode by pressing MEA C/N twice rapidly. The measurement is carried out
automatically or manually according to the selection made in the menu MEA, submenu C/N PRMT
(see section 5.8.1.8). If the previous setting selected was manual, it is necessary to frst recall the
measurement and then select the Noise frequency. The instrument eases the search for the optimal point
while remaining on (or passing to) the panoramic mode. Once the Noise frequency has been set, press
ENTER (30).
5.8.8. Video satellite polarity
The polarity of the video signal of analogue satellite transmissions may be positive or negative.
This normally depends on the reception band, Ku or C. The polarity is selected in the menu
engaged by the key TV TXT (5) previously described.
5.8.9. Full screen TV-picture
To see the TV channel tuned on the full screen press the key TV TX (5). In this operating mode, the signal
is often better than in the measurement mode because the instrument optimizes the input attenuation
for a perfect picture and exploits the AGC of the tuner ((To accomodate the signal to the on-screen
measuring range, you may fnd you need more attenuation for measurement that what is needed for
best TV-picture in full TV-picture mode). The instrument acts as a normal TV set thereby allowing a true
evaluation of the overall installation response.
5.8.10. TV engaged menu
The menu is engaged by keeping the key TV TXT (5) pressed. Select the item by means of the
Shaft Encoder and engage it by means of the key ENTER (30). Press TV TXT to exit.
5.8.10.1. TV-STANDARD
Select the TV-standard by means of ENTER (30).
5.8.10.2. CH TABLE

5.8.10.3. STD AT PWR ON
Select the TV-standard by the Shaft Encoder at switch-on, then confrm by pressing ENTER (30).
5.8.10.4. SAT VIDEO POLARITY
Select between negative video polarity (normally used in the Ku band) or positive (normally used in
the C band).
5.8.10.5 MONITOR RESET
Press ENTER (30) to set the brightness, colour, contrast to average values.
31 EP3000EVO (Rev. 1)
5.8.10.6 SOURCE
Select among: RF, IF 38.9 MHz, EXT (from SCART) by means of ENTER (30).
5.8.11. Teletext
Teletext is engaged in the full screen TV mode by pressing the key TV TXT (5) again. In the
TXT mode it is possible to select the page by means of the numeric keys (28) or carry out some
operations by means of the related menu (see 5.8.12).
5.8.12. TV engaged menu in teletext mode
5.8.12.1 STOP
Block the alternation of the of the multiple pages.
5.8.12.2. DOUBLE
To vertically enlarge the picture. When frst enabled it enlarges the upper part, when further
enabled the bottom part is enlarged and the third time normal dimensions are recalled.
5.8.12.3. REVEAL
To display quiz type responses.
5.8.12.4. PAGE 100
To recall page 100, normally used for the index.
5.9. POWER TO, AND CONTROL OF THE LNB
To turn on the LNB press the key LNB OUT (12) twice. To turn it off press the same key once again.
When the LNB has been supplied, the LED ON (8) turns on. When draining exceeds approx. 50 mA,
the LED CONT (6) lights up; if it is not lit, it should be assumed that the downlead cable is interrupted
or that the LNB is disconnected (or broken). If absorption exceeds 500 mA, the protection turns on
confrming it by means of a message on the display, a beep and the turn off of the power supply.
5.9.1. VOLT engaged menu
The menu is activated by keeping the key VOLT (A) (14) pressed. Terminate the operations by
pressing the key VOLT (A) again to exit.
5.9.1.1. Continuous and stepping MODE for powering the LNB
Two modes are available to supply power to the LNB:
STEP. In this case, the voltage changes in discrete values: 0, 5,13, 15, 18 V and, if engaged, 24 V.
Continuous. The voltage varies from 5 to 18 V (24 if engaged) in a quasi continuous mode, i.e.,
in 0.2 V steps.
Press ENTER (30) to alternate between modes.
5.9.1.2. 24 V
If this function is ON, the 24 V step or the range from 5 to 24 V is engaged.
5.9.2. LNB voltage setting
If the power supply mode is STEP (see 5.9.1.1), briefy pressing the key VOLT (A) (14) in sequence
adjusts the voltage according to the described steps; if the mode is Continuous it is possible, after
having briefy pressed VOLT (A), to adjust the voltage by means of the Shaft Encoder.
NOTE: if no load is connected the LNB voltage could decrease very slowly due
to the internal rectifying capacitors.
NOTE: For safety purposes, if tuning exceeds the band limits in the satellite band, the LNB is turned off.
5.9.3. Measurement of the LNB current absorption
Press the key VOLT (A) twice in sequence. The measurement of the current appears on the
EP3000EVO (Rev. 1) 32
alphanumeric readout instead of the LNB voltage.

5.9.4. DiSEqC
Pressing the key DSQ (15) the two commands as selected from the menu below are alternately
transmitted. The DiSEqC command can only be transmitted if the LNB is powered (even with 0V).
5.9.5. Menu enabled by the key DSQ
Keeping key DSQ (15) pressed access to the main DiSEqC menu can be got, as shown in Figure 6
Figure 6
The above display makes it possible to carry out a number of operations (such as access to submenus)
which will be explained in the following paragraphs, and to select the two commands that can alternately
be sent spinning the shaft encoder in combination with either (22) -the frst command- or (20) -the
second one-.
5.9.5.1 Engaging the 22 kHz tone
Select 22kHz by spinning the shaft encoder. Press ENTER (30) to engage (ON) or disengage (OFF) the 22kHz tone.
NOTE: it is possible to transmit DiSEqC commands even if the 22 kHz tone has been engaged; the
instrument temporarily suspends one while transmitting the other.
NOTE: It is also possible to insert or remove the 22 kHz tone by pressing DSQ (15) twice in rapid
sequence. The alphanumeric display shows whether or not the tone is present, but only if the LNB is on
STEP mode.
5.9.5.2. TONE BURST and DATA BURST
These are preset commands; they cannot be changed.
Press key 0 to send the TONE BURST command, key 1 to send the DATA BURST command (simplifed DiSEqC).
5.9.5.3. DiSEqC selectable commands
These are customer-defned commands among those belonging to the standard DiSEqC 1.1 or 2.0 (see Table
1). Four commands are loaded as default: V Pol, H Pol, 1 LO and h LO.
To modify a command, proceed as follows:
1. Mark the command you wish to modify via shaft encoder. (The means to mark you have
available is the cursor that moves along while spinning the shaft encoder).
2. Press ENTER (30) to access the DiSEqC command table.
33 EP3000EVO (Rev. 1)
3. By spinning the shaft encoder, place the cursor on the wanted command.
4. Press DSQ (15) to confrm.
To send any of the four command above press its related number from 2 to 5
on the alphanumeric keypad.
NOTE: once the DiSEqC command table has been entered pressing ENTER (30) transmits
directly the selected command.
The last four commands, from USER1 to USER4 in the DiSEqC command table, are made
available to the operator. Each one can be set as follows:
1. Position the cursor on a command by means of the Shaft Encoder, then press ENTER (30).
2. Insert the frst digit, or letter from A to F, by means of the numeric keyboard.
3. Shift by means of the key (20) to the next digit and set all the digits necessary.
Remember that letters beyond F are not accepted and that the numbers inserted must be even.
5.9.5.4. How to use the SCR DISEqC function
To access to SCR function, rotate the shaft encoder and select DISEqC SCR, then press ENTER
(30).
Alternatively, use the numerical keyboard and press 6.
Rotate the shaft encoder to select MONO FEED or DUAL FEED LNB, then press ENTER (30).
From the SCR menu rotate the shaft encoder and choose one of the 4 SCR frequencies on which
you can receive the signal, then press ENTER (30).
1210,00 MHz
1420,00 MHz
1680,00 MHz
2040,00 MHz
Now the instrument is set up in SCR mode. The screen displays the polarization of the active
satellite. If you choose the dual feed mode, the polarization is associated to satellite 1 or 2.
To set up satellite and/or polarization press the VOLT key (14) and select, on the screen, one of
the following options:
For mono feed LNB:
- POL V (vertical polarization)
- POL H (horizontal polarization)
For dual feed LNB
- SAT1 POL V
- SAT1 POL H
- SAT 2 - POL V;
- SAT 2 - POL H.
In SCR mode the instrument can be used as follows:
1) Set up the transponder frequency (and not the 1IF frequency) using numeric keys (ex.
11766 MHz) and press ENTER (30) when the sequence is completed.
2) Alternatively, rotate the shaft encoder to obtain frequency variations (0.1 MHz or 4.0 MHz)
using left arrow (20) or right arrow (22). If you use the shaft encoder to change the frequency its
not necessary to press ENTER to confrm the inserted parameter.
EP3000EVO (Rev. 1) 34
Also in SCR mode, the functions below are always active:

- SPN+, SPN- : increases/decreases the signal expansion
- ATT+, ATT- : increases/decreases the attenuation cells
- MKR : modifes the setting of the marker and choose between
ANALOGICAL (level) or DIGITAL (DCP)
- LNB : activates (double-click) or deactivates (single click) the 13 volts supply

5.9.7. LNB and Data Logger
NOTE: power to the LNB normally is not reset when leaving the satellite band and then returning to it or if
a program is stored when power is on and then it is recalled. Power may, however, be necessary during
data logging: for this requirement see its related section 5.7 on storing.
5.10. SOUND
5.10.1 Sound for terrestrial signals
The instrument is equipped with three audio demodulators. The selection is automatically made by the
instrument in connection with the type of measuring demodulator (see 5.8.1.2):
TV for TV signals, the associated audio subcarrier frequency (5.5-6-6.5 MHz) and the type of
modulation, normally FM and AM for the L standard, are automatically selected according to
the set TV-standard.
FM for frequency modulated carriers (for example, FM radio stations) FM demodulator.
AM for amplitude modulated carriers (for example, a remote control) AM demodulator.
5.10.2 Stereo
By default the analogue stereo decoder is engaged; to engage the NICAM decoder press the key
SOUND (10) twice quickly. The activation of the NICAM decoder is indicated on the 16x2 LCD
readout. Both decoders automatically recognize the presence of the corresponding stereo carriers.
For analogue stereo briefy press the key SOUND (10) to alternately hear the right/left channel and
39 EP3000EVO (Rev. 1)
mono (or language 1 and language 2) on the loudspeaker.

For NICAM stereo the same key alternates the various modes available. The NICAM signal BER is
displayed on the TV screen.
5.10.3 Sound for satellite signals
The carrier emitted by satellites includes not only the FM modulated video frequency but also
various audio subcarriers which are also frequency modulated.
They cover a frequency range from 5.5 MHz to 9.77 MHz and for each TV channel there may be
more than one (for stereo transmissions, multilingual, digital data, etc.) and a separate tuning then
becomes necessary.
Briefy pressing the key SOUND (10) the various subcarriers available are selected in sequence.
The following menu makes it possible to carry out the desired settings on the subcarriers.
EP3000EVO (Rev. 1) 40
5.10.4. SOUND engaged menu

5.10.4.1. USER SUBCARRIERS
To freely set four audio subcarriers which will be placed after the pre-set standard production
ones, proceed as follows:
From the menu SOUND select the item USER SOUND > and press ENTER (30).
Select one of the four subcarriers to be set and press ENTER.
By means of the alphanumeric keyboard digit the desired frequency. As an alternative, the
Shaft Encoder may be used, but in this case it is necessary to confrm the setting by means of
ENTER.
5.10.4.2. SUBCARRIER BANDWIDTH
Select the subcarrier bandwidth. The values available are: narrow (for stereo channels), medium
(for normal mono channels), wide (for over-modulated channels) extra wide (for channels with
exceptionally high deviation).
5.10.4.3. DEEMPHASIS
Select the type of deemphasis. The values available are: Flat, j17, 50s, 75s. To set:
From the menu SOUND select DEEMPHASIS > and press ENTER (30).
Select the desired deemphasis by means of the Shaft Encoder and press ENTER.
41 EP3000EVO (Rev. 1)
Level and measurement bandwidth

For analogue signals, the level measured
does not depend on the measured band-
width of the meter. For digital signals, on
the contrary, the measurement depends
on both the band of the meter and that
of the channel; the level indicated in cor-
respondence with the marker, therefore,
must be corrected on the basis of the band
used (W, wide or N, narrow) as well as
the one occupied by the channel. While
the correction of the measurement band is
carried out by the instrument itself, in order
to obtain a reliable measurement the user
must indicate the channel band. If it is not
known, it may be deduced, in the EXPan-
ded mode, as the frequency distance
between the two points to the ends of the
channel where the level has decreased
by three dBs.
5.11. SPECTRUM ANALYZER
To set the instrument as a spectrum analyzer press the key SPN (32). Partial and total analysis
may be carried out on all terrestrial TV bands (C-L-M-H) and SAT.
To change the band use the menu engaged by SPN+ (see 5.11.3.1). To analyze any size portion
of the band selected use the keys SPN+ and SPN- (32). In the terrestrial bands press SPN+ to
increase the band to analyse up to Full (E), where the display of the entire spectrum from 45
to 890 MHz can be viewed in one shot (quasi real time). Pushing DATA (23) twice while in this
operational mode makes it possible to print through the output device the extended spectrum
which is displayed on the monitor.
Two accurate markers are available (with different colours) that may be positioned throughout the
entire frequency range (with PLL synthesis), in addition a raster of horizontal lines may be included
or excluded (see 5.11.3.6).
In any point of the spectrum the frequency may be accurately measured, positioning the marker by
means of the numeric keyboard or the Shaft Encoder as for tuning.
NOTE: The alphanumeric readout shows the level of the signal in correspondence with the
marker in use, but for maximum accuracy it is necessary to pass to the measurement mode,
since in spectrum different circuit time-constants are inserted which could alter the accuracy.
5.11.1. Use of the markers
Press the key MKR (31) to enable a second marker (colour yellow) which may also (while the frst
one remains unchanged) be positioned on any point of the entire spectrum of the band selected.
Display (1) will indicate, in addition to the absolute levels, both the frequency difference and the
level difference between the frst and second marker. A + appears if the frequency of the
secondary yellow marker is higher than that of the main red one, for example to mark an audio
subcarrier. By pressing it again the frequency remains unchanged and both markers move
together. If pressed again, the marker are once again superimposed.
5.11.2. Menu enabled by the key MKR
5.11.2.1. MK1
To alternate between the analogue (A)
and digital (D) signal marker.
5.11.2.2. MK2

and digital (D) signal marker.
5.11.2.3. HOLD
It alternates among FREEZE (still frame picture),
MIN HOLD (it holds the minimum value among
the various analysis sweeps) and MAX HOLD
(it holds the maximum value of the different sweeps).
Each function at a time can be selected
and this is engaged or disengaged by pressing
the key MKR twice in sequence.
During FREEZE, MAX HOLD and MIN HOLD the display is no longer in real time; besides, the
EP3000EVO (Rev. 1) 42
band coverage may vary slightly with respect to the real time spectrum function SPN itself.
Pressing DATA (23) twice in MIN HOLD and MAX HOLD mode allows printing of whatever is being
displayed on the monitor through the output device..

5.14.1.12. PIN, Personal Identifcation Number

This function is similar to the PIN code commonly found in mobile cellular phones. With it, the
instrument can be personalised and made accessible for use to its owner or authorised personnel only.
The PIN code function is disengaged when the unit leaves the factory.
To engage the PIN code function proceed as follows:
Select PIN ACTIVATION from the main menu, then press ENTER.
PIN CHANGE will appear automatically requesting three PIN codes. These can be entered via
the alphanumeric keypad in the following sequence:
1. The old PIN code (or the factory defned PIN, which is 1111, if the unit is PIN activated for
the frst time after leaving the factory).
2. The new PIN, which can consist of four to eight digits max.
3. The new PIN again, to double check the change.
Entering the sequence correctly will activate the PIN on next switch-on of the instrument. If the PIN
code sequence is performed incorrectly a warning, ERROR, will be shown on the monitor and the
instrument will delay switching itself on for some time, the higher the number of times you have
performed the sequence incorrectly the longer the delay.
Once the instrument is switched on, you can always change or disengage the PIN code. Never
forget the old code you wish to change as the old code is always requested as part of the three
code punch-in sequence.
Should you forget your own PIN code, contact the factory After Sales Service
for an unlocking code..
6 AUXILIARY INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
There are two sockets on the left side of the instrument: SCART: STANDARD (40)
and AUX (41), auxiliary.
6.1. STANDARD SCART SOCKET
This socket is to be used for the inter-exchange between video and audio with an external device;
it is then possible to both command an external monitor and receive signals for the feld strength
meter monitor. The selection may be made either by keeping the key TV TXT (5) pressed and
selecting SOURCE - EXT; or by means of contact 8 of the SCART; EXT will appear on the display.
The video output (contact No. 19) may be used, for example, to control the video signal waveform
by means of an oscilloscope.
6.2. AUXILIARY SCART SOCKET
It may be used for connecting an external TV monitor (used as a supplementary monitor) so that
anything which is viewable on the instruments own monitor can be viewed, for example, in bigger
size externally.

6.3. SATELLITE VIDEO BASE BAND OUTPUT
The base band signal is available on the B.B. OUT ( 42) socket as supplied by the demodulator,
therefore without fltering and clamping, also including the audio carriers. The Base Band signal is
normally used by the analogue decoders. Since some of them require deemphasis and others do
not, both are supplied.

1. Base band without deemphasis.
2. Ground.
3. Base band with deemphasis.
4. Base band without deemphasis.
5. Base band with deemphasis.
6.4 . RS232 SERIAL CONNECTION
By means of the RS232 serial port it is possible to connect the instrument to a Personal Computer,
an external printer (our model STP165), or other devices, including third party printers.
The list of commands that may be carried out and that of the error messages are indicated in the
accessories volume.
6.4.1. Connections
The RS232 connector is located on the side panel of the auxiliary functions (43). Figure 9 shows
the layout of the connector pins, and the connections of the connecting cables to a Personal
Computer or a modem.
1 NC Not connected
2 Rx Data reception. (Direction EP3000EVO PC, printer or modem).
3 Tx Data transmission. (Direction EP3000EVO PC or modem).
4 DTR Data Terminal Ready. (Direction EP3000EVO PC, printer or modem). When this line
is operative the PC, printer or modem informs the EP3000EVO that the two devices are
ready for data exchange.
5 GND Ground.
6 DSR Data Set Ready (Direction EP3000EVO PC, printer or modem). The EP3000EVO
enables this line to inform the PC, printer or modem that it is ready for data exchange.
7 RTS Request To Send. (Direction EP3000EVO PC, printer or modem). The EP3000EVO
waits for this line to be enabled before transmitting the data to the PC, printer or
modem.
8 CTS Clear To Send. (Direction EP3000EVO PC, printer or modem). When this line is
brought to an operative level, it informs the PC that data transmission may initiate.
9 NC Not connected.
NOTE: The apparent contradiction (Rx = Output, etc.) is due to the fact that the instrument is
confgured as DCE (Data Communication Equipment). This is the reason why the connection
cable to the computer is used without inversion.
EP3000EVO (Rev. 1) 52
6.4.2. Connector
Figure 9
6.4.3. Transmission format
The instrument leaves the factory with the following RS 232 serial port confguration set in the
below indicated mode: Baud Rate 38400, number of bits 8, Stop bits 2, no Parity. The format may
be changed in the menu which has been recalled by keeping the key DATA OUT (23) pressed, at
item RS232 PRMT (see 5.12.1.7).
6.4.4. General notes regarding connections to a Personal Computer
The instrument is confgured as DCE (Data Communication Equipment).
The connection should be carried out in the Full Duplex modality since, if confgured for
connection to a Personal Computer, the instrument supplies an echo of the input data,
character by character.
In case an error is made while keying in the command line it is possible to use the backspace
character backspace.
The command line is carried out on reception of the Carriage Return character (decimal 13,
hexadecimal 0D).
The instrument uses, when connected, the handshake lines RTS and CTS.
A correction check of the command is carried out, but not including any data. For example:
QX27<CR> is refused (the command QX does not exist).
FR4yg.1a<CR> programs an unpredictable frequency.
