Page 24: Technical Information
TECHNICAL INFORMATION The following information will address TV antennas and attempt to give some insight into how TV antennas and their application affect television performance. UHF / VHF FREQUENCIES VHF (CH 2 – 13) and UHF (CH 14 – 69) signals are nearly identical with one critical difference: “wavelength.” VHF wavelengths are longer than UHF wavelengths. - Page 25 Loss of Signal Loss of signal is another factor which should be considered. Every connection between the antenna and the TV will reduce signal. Coax connectors improperly attached to antenna cables will cause even more loss. Partially grounded roof rack antennas will also effect reception, especially VHF. Testing done on antenna systems has shown that as much as 10% loss of signal can be measured across every connection.
- Page 26 TECHNICAL INFORMATION The following information will discuss DC power sources and how they affect 12 volt DC Audio and Video products. DC (DIRECT CURRENT) POWER A large number of our products are designed for 12 volt DC applications. The power is supplied by a variety of sources i.e., the battery, converters, ignition systems and solar power.
- Page 27 Amperage A TV will draw considerably more amperage than a VCP. For instance, a 9” TV will draw approximately 3.0 amps compared to a VCP that draws 1 amp while the tapes are being loaded or ejected. Checking the voltage of a TV while it is playing shows an approximate 1 volt drop, (11.5 VDC). The voltage at the VCP can be another .5VDC (11 VDC) less than the TV.
