Page 9: 8945Eda And 8945Eda-Dsd/Hd Equalizing Da
8945EDA and 8945EDA-D SD/HD Equalizing DA Introduction The 8945EDA or 8945EDA-D Wideband Front Equalizing DA provides basic equalization and distribution of a standard definition or high defini- tion signal up to eight outputs over 75 ohm coaxial cable in SD/ASI or HD. The two models, 8945EDA (single) and 8945EDA-D (dual) must be installed in a GeckoFlex frame. -
Page 10: Installation
Installation Installation The front and the rear modules are delivered together as a set: 8945EDA front module with the 8900WE-R rear module or 8945EDA-D front module with 8900WE-R rear module. The front modules can be plugged in and removed from a GeckoFlex frame with power on, without disrupting operation on adjacent running mod- ules. -
Page 11: Module Installation Precautions
Installation Module Installation Precautions Please read and follow the precautions listed below before installing the front and rear modules: • Use standard anti-static procedures during installation. As modules can be installed or removed when the GeckoFlex frame is powered up, before removing the cover, please use an anti-static bracelet tied to a metal part of the frame. -
Page 12: Rear Module Installation
Installation Rear Module Installation 1. To remove a blank rear adapter cover (or a rear module already present), manually loosen the two screws holding each retainer clip on the rear adapter cover or rear module to the frame with the retainer clip tool provided inside the front cover of the frame (751- model frames only) or a 2 mm (5/64”) hex screwdriver. -
