Motorola BDA Series Installation

Installation

To install a BDA-** drop amplifier using local power:

1. Remove and discard the port thread protectors.

2. Connect the amplifier RF output ports (RF output 1, 2, 3, 4) to your

televisions or set-top terminals using coaxial cable terminated with F-type

connectors.

3. Terminate all unused ports with 75 ohms for optimum RF performance.

4. Connect the coaxial cable-in source to the RF input port of the amplifier.

5. Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the AC adapter and the other end to

the power 12 VDC (18 VDC) connector on the amplifier.

6. Plug the AC adapter into the wall outlet. The LED on the BDA-** should be lit

to indicate that the unit is receiving 12 VDC (S-series) or 18 VDC (K-series).

For best signal quality, install the BDA-** as close to the cable entrance as possible. Use the power inserter to send power to the amplifier through the coaxial cable attached to remote power/RF port 1 on the amplifier.
