LMA113F 13dB Gain 1 Way Masthead Amplifier
LMA209F 9dB Gain 2 Way Masthead Amplifier
(with Lte800 filters)
Installation Instructions
Introduction
These technically advanced UHF antenna pre-
amplifiers offer an unparalleled combination of low
noise, good input filtering and medium output.
The amplifier units consist of fully screened modules
fitted with f connectors. They are enclosed in a
moulded ABS weatherproofing housing suitable for
outdoor applications.
They both have an integrated sturdy metal mast clamp
so that they can be quickly and securely fitted to masts.
The amplifiers also tilt by 45˚ to make the
attachment of f plugs to the sockets much easier.
The built in filter removes signals above 790MHz
emitted by Lte 800 4G phone transmitters and
picked up by the attached aerial.
Other features include
• Industry-leading noise performance
• Sturdy metal mast clamp
• LED power indicator, a useful aid to fault finding
• Inputs well filtered below 470MHz to minimise interference from Tetra transmissions
• The amplifier is suitable for Indoor or outdoor use
• The LMA209F can be powered via either of its outputs
Power Supply
Both units require an independent 12VDC 30-35mA
power supply we recommend the use of the PSUF
12V, 100mA power supply unit with short circuit
protection and a fault indication LED which changes
from Green to Red. If using as a pre-amplifier with the
LDA204L, LDA2061L or LDA2081L you do not need an
additional power supply, these distribution amps have
built-in line powering.
LMA113F
This 13dB model improves signal strength and C/N
in domestic and MATV systems with normal length
downlead cables.
This is ideal for use in digital installations where they
will enable the minimum recommended signal level
(45dBμV) to be delivered to the tuner and reduce the
likelihood of impulse interference problems.
LMA209F
This amplifier with 9dB gain per port is ideal for feed-
ing two TV points from one antenna.
The downleads can be run mainly on the outside of
the building, making this a popular solution for retro-
fit on older buildings.
It can be powered from either output, allowing flexi-
bility in the power unit location.
