8. TROUBLESHOOTING
a. Ensure you are using quality multiple shielded cables with quality radial or
compression F-connectors.
b. Ensure the F-connector’s center conductor is making solid contact with the
CTA-30RK-550’s Input and Output ports, and the appropriate headend combiner and
RF distribution network connectors.
c. When taking measurements it is always best to use a quality signal level meter.
System level measurements should be taken from the CTA-30RK-550’s Output port.
For field maintenance, the CTA-30RK-550’s Test port may be used. However, note
that port is padded down -30dB and the 30dB must be added back in when determining
system level settings and output.
