CONNECTING POWER SUPPLY
1. Select location for power supply. Run two coax cables
(three if Set 2 jack is going to be used) (RG-59 type) between
locations and install connectors on each end. Mark cables so
"cable input", "TV output" "Set 2" may be identified.
Antenna downlead and +12 VDC also needed at inside power
supply location. See wiring diagram, Figure 5.5
2. To mount the power supply, cut a hole in wall to fit the
power supply. Connect 5' 18 GA wire harness (#5 on parts list)
between power supply and +12 VDC source and route
downlead cable to this location.
CAUTION: TURN OFF POWER SUPPLY WHEN
CONNECTING CABLES/WIRES!
3. Connect 12 VDC to wall plate/power supply. Install termi-
nals on wires from +12 VDC source as shown in Figure 6.
4. Crimp terminals with crimping tool, Figure 8. Push wires
onto tabs on terminal board as shown in Figure 6. If in doubt
as to the polarity of the wires, connect them temporarily to
tabs on circuit board and press ON switch on front of wall
plate; if light comes on polarity is correct.
5. Install connectors on downlead, Set 2 and Cable Input
cables. Attach downlead cable to jack on wall plate/power
supply marked Antenna as shown in Figure 6. Attach cable
going to Set 2 outlet to jack on power supply marked SET 2.
Attach cable coming from cable input to jack on power supply
marked CABLE.
5. Mount power supply in wall with screws provided; attach TV set
cable to jack on front of power supply/wall plate. Press ON switch
on front of wall plate and check that light is on.
CHECKING OPERATION OF POWER SUPPLY
1. Tune TV receiver to nearest station and rotate antenna
for best picture and sound.
2. Press OFF switch on power supply. Picture on TV
should be considerably worse with power off.
3. This unit is equipped with a polyswitch (current
limiting device) which will shut down +12 VDC if there is a
direct short between antenna and power supply. Red
indicator light will not light. Once short is eliminated,
device will reset itself.
