Installation
The CT-X needs to be installed where it can be injected into the system to reach the customer
base at the following frequency ranges:
y Carrier source – Integrated proprietary dual CW, or chirp, source output
y Broadband output – 130–150 and 250–1220 MHz
Typically, a CT-X should be installed at each location that an existing CT-2, 3, or 4 is currently
installed, and in many cases this may require a CT-X to be installed in each hub site and/or
each headend.
1. Select a suitable rack panel location near the combiner where RF signals reside.
2. Mount the CT-X in the rack using the mounting holes on the front of the unit and
the four retaining screws.
Be careful handling the unit as it may have sharp edges, and avoid pinching your
fingers while installing into the rack.
3. Connect the device to AC power or -48 volt power if using the DC model.
4. Verify the unit is powered and Transmit (TX) is disabled. This is the default setting
and is necessary to avoid impacting service during setup.
5. Connect the device to the combiner as shown below.
6. See the CT-X User's Guide to set up the unit.
