The P7000 is a next generation fully synthesised combined L-Band up and down converter which provides a low-cost solution for systems requiring an IF interface at 70MHz±18MHz or 140MHz±36MHz.
For redundancy the P7000 uses a simple CANBUS® interface and has an integral redundancy controller for 1+1 & 2+1 operation (for use with external TR1000L/TR2000L switch units), for N+1 systems a separate stand-alone control and switch unit is provided (RCU1000 series).
Note: separate stand-alone control and switching units can also be provided for 1+1 & 2+1 systems, please consult the factory.
The P7000 series of converters are designed to meet the phase noise, spurious, level and frequency stability requirements of Intelsat IBS/ Eutelsat SMS specifications and is compliant with IESS308/ 309. The product is most suitable for both high and low rate data and both digital and analogue TV signals. The unit incorporates a graphics display module, membrane keyboard and features a clear and intuitive control and configuration menu fully utilising the unique graphics display.
