Business iQ (BiQ) Satellite Infrastructure Guide

1. Overview There are 2 main distribution methods multistacker and dual polarity H & V distribution. Option 1: Satellite Multistacker The Satellite Multistacker combines 2 horizontal & 2 vertical satellite services from 2 orbital locations and combines them on a single RF cable so that a single RF input port on the SBB can receive the signals.

Diagram 1 Typical Port Configuration of the Satellite Multistacker

Business iQ (BiQ) Satellite Infrastructure Guide

The Multistackers have 4 input ports which cater for low & high band signals. Low band via DC Voltage High band via DC & 22 KHz tone.

Note: It is important to have the satellite RF feeds connected between the LNBF and SMS before the unit is powered up. This will ensure that the SMS does not go into automatic search mode that could take up to an hour to complete the search. Connecting the cables and power in the correct sequence allows the SMS to lock to the Foxtel Transponders within 30 seconds. Kingray From left to right • Port 4 HH = 18 volts plus 22 KHz (future satellite) • Port 3 VH = 13 volts plus 22 KHz (future satellite) • Port 2 H L = 18 volts (Current Foxtel H pol services) • Port 1 V L = 13 volts (Current Foxtel V pol services) Jonsa From left to right • Port 4 V L = 13 volts (Current Foxtel V pol services) • Port 3 H L = 18 volts (Current Foxtel H pol services) • Port 2 V H = 13 volts plus 22 KHz (future satellite) • Port 1 H H = 18 volts plus 22 KHz (future satellite) The units have 2 ports on the bottom. • Port 1 Stacked satellite output port with the option of line powering via a 12, 15 or 18 volt DC power injector and power pack. • Port 2 local powering via a 12, 15 or 18 volt DC power pack Note: When using the local powering option, the installation of a power block at the RF output is required to stop unwanted power entering the SMS. Local powering option can be extended using RG6 coaxial cable, the maximum run of cable depends on the voltage source used. 12 Volt 15 metres, Jonsa 15 volt 30 metres, & Kingray 18 volt, 50 metres. When line powering via the RF output with the use of a power injector & FTA – Satellite diplexer in line, the maximum cable runs are reduced to the following. 12 volt 10 metres, Jonsa 15 volt 25 metres, & Kingray 40 metres. When line powering the Kingray stacker the local power port shall be terminated with one of the capacitive terminators supplied.

2. Objective The satellite multistacker (SMS) is a standalone device that can be installed directly after a twin or quad universal vertical - horizontal LNBF. It is typically installed before the first distribution point in the SMATV system. An amplifier is installed where required to provide a higher launch level of up to 108dBuV. (The multistacker typically outputs a level of 80-85dBuV). Due to the design of the multistacker there is no headend set up procedure, the Foxtel N.I.T (Network Information Table) is updated which informs the SMS what frequencies to tune to in the same way we update information to STB’s in the field. This becomes a simple installation method for a large variety of Commercial building types which include: • Single cable short stay Commercial accommodation inclusive of Hotels. • Commercial buildings having only a single H pol back bone which are classified as MDU lite. • New single wired Commercial Buildings with passive or active taps. • Single wired mining camp estates including RF or Optical distribution. • Shop fronts • Pubs and clubs

3. Scope To install a multistacker, all RF distribution components within the network must be capable of distributing the upper Frequency of 2400MHz, including: • Amplifiers • Power Injectors • Splitters • Taps • Cables • Connectors • Wall plates Foxtel satellite transponders are distributed on frequencies between 950-2350MHz. The SMS stacks V polarity transponders onto the H polarity so that a single cable can distribute up to 32 satellite Transponders. This allows the integration of FTA services on the one cable with the use of a FTA – Satellite diplexer that combines 45-862 MHz FTA & 950-2400 MHz Satellite. Foxtel has updated the Installer Product List with products capable of distributing signals at the higher frequency of 2400MHz which are listed under the category “Multistacker”. This allows the combined FTA – Satellite to be distributed down existing single cable RF distribution networks that are fitted with a minimum of RG6 coaxial cable. The stacker has been fitted with a 5 position dip switch which is switched to match the State installed. This allows Foxtel to make better use of Transponder space in the event that the total 32 transponders are used.

4. Installation Requirements Lite Upgrades: In lite upgrades, all components shall be rated to 45-2400 MHz. The system design is treated the same as a new backbone. Notes: • An existing lite single backbone only caters for H pol transponders for Optus 10 & Optus D3 with a 10.7 L.O LNBF. All actives and passives require upgrade to 2400MHz rated components. • All RG11 crimp connectors shall be replaced with compression connectors. • Existing RG6 crimp connectors are permitted in lite upgrades, under the proviso that the minimum RF & signal quality levels are met throughout the system. Refer to tables 5,6,7 & 8 of this document for minimum requirements. • A GPO is required in the headend location. If this is not achievable line powering via an in-line power injector with a dedicated “common property” GPO in another location is possible. The unit is not to be powered from a private resident’s power source. • When local powering the SMS via the DC power port, the installation of a DC block shall be installed at the RF output port.

New Backbone: • 4 Cables run from the LNBF to the Multistacker. • A 5th Cable is installed from the roof FTA antenna to the multistacker / headend location. • RG11 compression connectors are to be used for all RG11cables. • RG6 compression connectors are to be used for all RG6 cables. • Standalone satellite systems require amplifiers with an operational range of 950-2400MHz, no FTA amplifier is required. • When integrating FTA services, the FTA amplifiers are to operate in the range 45 – 862MHz. • Refer to the Foxtel Installer Product List for a full range of products that can be used for SMS installations. • When local powering the SMS via the DC power port, the installation of a DC block shall be installed at the RF output port.

Optical Systems and Mining Estates: • When integrating into an optical fibre network, the components used must be capable of transmitting signals in the range of 5-2400MHz. Carriers networks that use RF overlay for combining television services typically use the wavelength of 1550nm for distribution through the network. Please check with the carrier’s requirements when choosing the wavelength to be used. • Optical receivers should be capable of catering for a high channel load of 32 x 36MHz satellite carriers and a minimum of 12 x 7 MHz COFDM FTA carriers. The channel load may vary depending on the network requirements. • Wall plate signal levels & quality shall meet the requirements shown in tables 5,6, 7 & 8 of this document.

Concept Design The following concept design combines Satellite and FTA channels onto a single backbone. The use of satellite / FTA diplexers used to separate the satellite and FTA signals into the business iQ also known as a SBB or STB.

Diagram 5 Single wire 4 way splitter concept design using active taps to feed 128 outlets over 4 levels Notes: • The maximum cable length between the 18V DC power supply and active tap is 40M of RG6.This allows up to 160M of RG6 between the 4 active taps with a maximum of 1.5 amp current draw through the 4 way splitter. • The 32 port active tap current draw is in the range of 250-300mA @ 18V DC. • The maximum combined current draw from a single power supply must not exceed 1800mA. • In this scenario, the SMS is powered locally by the 12V DC power supply. The 12 volt power supply can be installed up to 10M from the SMS via the use of RG6 coaxial cable. • Powering option #1 shows the active tap powered via an 18V DC power supply at the input of the 4 way splitter. This option is available for 2, 3 or 4 way splitters. • Powering option #2 shows the active tap locally powered via an 18V DC power supply on level 1. When this option is used powering of the Active Tap & SMS can be achieved by removing power supplies and power block at the SMS location. • Correct splitters with forward or reverse powering options are used.

Diagram 6 Active Tap powering options

An active tap provides up to 90dBuV output at 2400MHz, a single cable run into the unit can feed a tap or splitter within the unit. Diagram 7 shows the maximum cable lengths that can be achieved to provide the require signal at the SBB.

Diagram 7 Active tap feeding 4 way passive tap within unit Notes: • 45M run of RG6 can be achieved when installing a 12dB tap with the unit. • Preference is given to installing a tap within the unit over a splitter due to its higher port to port isolation performance. • However, if cable run exceeds 45M, a 4 way splitter can be installed within the unit to achieve a maximum run of 60M resulting in 58.0dB into the SBB.

Appendix C. Earthing Earthing and Equipotential Bonding (CET) Designs

All system components must be earthed in compliance with AS/NZS 1367:2016, AS/NZS3000:2018, (earthing conductors), and

AS/CA-S009:2013, S009:2019 comes into effect once published.

Equipotential bonding is used to ensure that no hazardous voltages are present on the outer conductors of a cable or any metallic component within the network. A licensed electrician must carry out connections within the electrical switchboard. Note: A suitably qualified person can carry out the connection for protective earthing external to the switchboard. Refer to the following designs for specific diagrams for earthing outline the preferred methods for connection of a CET and bonding conductor.

4.1. Earthing Fibre Hybrid Coaxial Systems

• Earthing is not required when an ONT is installed within the home to convert Optical signals to coaxial signals, in this instance electrical isolation is achieved via the optical connection. • Note: Earthing is required when the coaxial output of the ONT is split to feed 2 or more dwelling or homes.

4.2. Isolators The use of isolators are used on single cable backbones to electrically separate the customers equipment from the SMATV network, protecting the network and technicians working on the network. • An isolator must be installed between each home – cluster of buildings. • An Isolator is not required where the headend splitters or taps are installed within the one building, however earthing of all components are required. • Isolators are not required where each home or cluster of buildings are isolated via fibre optic cable / ONT. • The isolator is to be installed in the home wall box or service cupboard and must not be installed in a pillar or in the roof space. • An Isolator must be fitted in all homes at the input to the house tap, splitter or amplifier unless an ONT is installed before each home.

Appendix D. Satellite Dishes

4.3. Outdoor Unit (ODU) – Dish and LNB This section details the steps required to select and install the satellite dish and LNB.

4.3.1. Dish Selection The step of selecting the correct dish performance is to ensure that it will provide appropriate increase in margin of Bit Error Rate, Modulation Error Ratio (in band noise ratio) and Digital Channel Power performance to ensure it will cater for rain fade margin and distribution system degradation. Diagram 19 provides information on the six satellite coverage zones and the appropriate size dish required for an installation at this location.

4.3.2. Dish Alignment There are two steps to aligning a satellite dish for optimum performance, Azimuth elevation setup and cross-polarisation. A meter must be used for all dish alignment (see Foxtel Installer Product List for current models). FOXTEL has selected these new meters to make the dish alignment process more accurate and efficient.

4.4. Mounts This section describes how to select a mount and where to install it. Note: No mount is to exceed its maximum rated dish size or wind rating specifications. All mounts must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Note: For further information on mount specifications and details, refer the Manufacturer’s instructions provided with the mount, or refer to the Manufacturer’s website.

4.4.1. Mount Selection When selecting a mount, it needs to be suitable for the size of the dish and the prevailing wind conditions in the area where it will be used. Australia can be divided into four regions for prevailing wind conditions: Region A: Normal Region B: Intermediate Region C: Tropical cyclones Region D: Severe tropical cyclones Use Table 12 below and the map in Diagram 20 to select the appropriate mount for the location. For further clarification on the suitability of the mount required for your location in all regions, contact the mount manufacturer. Refer to the manufacturer’s website for further information relating to mount selection to suit the dish size used in your region.

Mount Wind Rating Mounting hardware for the installation of satellite dishes on domestic dwellings must have a wind rating that complies with the requirements of AS 4055-2012 Wind loads for housing. In particular the Wind Rating of the mount together with the dish must comply with or exceed that set out in Table 2.2 of AS 4055-2012 for the local Wind Region and site conditions. The Wind Rating of a mount in combination with the dish is specified in the mount manufacturer’s installation instructions. As a guide, the Wind Ratings in the corresponding Wind Regions as listed in Table 12 below are considered to be suitable for satellite dish mounting hardware unless the site is on a hill or slope. These Wind Ratings apply to all sites within a Wind Region except where the house or MDU is located on the mid or top third of a hill, ridge or escarpment of average slope greater than 1:20 (3°).

Diagram 20 – Wind Regions

Business iQ (BiQ) Satellite Infrastructure Guide

Table 12 – W1 Mount Selection – Wind Rating Chart

Where no Wind Rating is shown in Table 12, wind conditions are likely to be extreme, and expert advice should be sought from the local building authority.

Higher Wind Ratings are applicable to hill tops and slopes For sites located in the zones marked M, T and O in the diagrams below, it may be necessary to use a higher wind rating.

Diagram 21 – Hill Zones

Estimate the height and slope of the hill and the relative position (Hill Zone) of the site to determine the Exposure Classification (T number) using Diagram 21 above and Table 13 below. Then use the Hill Index from Table 12 and the Exposure Classification from Table 13 to determine the Rating Increment from Table 14 below. Add the Rating Increment to the Minimum Wind Rating from Table 12 to find the Wind Rating applicable to the site.

For example, a 4 storey MDU located half-way up a 50 metre hill with a slope of 1:10 in Region B has a minimum Wind Rating of N4 and a Hill Index of H8 (Table 12). It is situated in Zone M according to Diagram 21. Its Exposure Classification according to Table 13 is T1 (take the worst case for the slope). By Table 14, the Rating Increment is +1. Therefore the Wind Rating for the site is N4 +1 = N5. Where no Rating Increment is shown in Table 4, wind conditions are likely to be extreme, and expert advice should be sought from the local building authority.

Note: *Refer to manufacturer for appropriate mount. Refer to the following Australian Standards and Codes. Wind class and wind speed have been upgraded from the specified region categories listed in the standards.

Business iQ (BiQ) Satellite Infrastructure Guide

4.4.2. Location of Mount For the FOXTEL satellite installation to work correctly there must be a clear Line of Sight to the FOXTEL satellite. Locations with a limited Line of Sight can result in intermittent or complete loss of signal. There should be no obstructions, for example, trees or parts of buildings in the signal path. An inclinometer should be used to survey the signal path to ensure a clear Line of Sight. If there is any uncertainty as to whether the Line of Sight will remain clear in the future (due to vegetation growth), use a different mount location.

4.4.3. Mount and Dish Placement Placement of the mount for the dish on a building is aesthetically important and an essential part of the design for all existing buildings. A photo of the proposed mount/dish location is to be added to the Scope of Work document, thus ensuring the Client, knows where the dish will be located before they sign off on the Scope of Work and design. Figure 22 provides guidance on the preferred mount and dish location where number 1 is the most preferred location (towards back of building) and 4 (front/side of building) is the least preferred option.

Figure 22 – Preferred Dish Locations Note: The dish should not be located at the front of the building unless it has been clearly identified in the Scope of Work documentation submitted to the Client (or equivalent). Note: Where the mount is installed on either a pre-cast concrete slab, block or wall, or a pre- mixed concrete slab, block or wall, the mount anchorage points must be greater than 300mm from any corner or edge of the slab, block or wall.

4.5. Roofing Where necessary, clip-lock tin roof sheets (on flat roofs) may be removed for running cable through roof. If removed, ensure the roof sheet is re-clipped back into its original position. CAUTION: Any damage caused through this action remains the responsibility of the Contracting company and/or the Customer Service Technician. If sarking (water resistant foil membrane used for insulation) needs to be penetrated, carefully cut the sarking along the joist and repair using sarking tape.

Business iQ (BiQ) Satellite Infrastructure Guide

4.6. Installation of Satellite Dish near Solar Panels

When considering installing a satellite dish near solar panels, install the satellite dish at a minimum distance shown in the table 12 to prevent shadowing of the solar panels. At no stage should any part of the Foxtel installation be able to cast a shadow over any part of the customer’s solar panels. Solar panels are normally connected in series, where each circuit of panels is called a string. Solar inverters convert the output of the entire string however, if one of the panels is shaded, it restricts current and reduces the output of the entire string. By adhering to this requirement, customer complaints would be avoided therefore preventing any unnecessary Service Calls to relocate the satellite dish. Where the minimum distance from the edge of the solar panel to the highest point of the dish cannot be achieved, choose an alternative location.

This table can be used as a guide for minimum distance from the highest point of the satellite dish to the edge of the solar panels. Worst case scenarios have been catered for in a magnetic north direction to allow for the lower angle of the sun in the winter months. The table provides a broad spectrum of angles from Northern Australia to the bottom end of Tasmania. Choose the closest location to your installation as a guide to the minimum distance required.
