This manual explains how to configure and install the Model 2809 LDS CATV
receiver. It is intended for engineers and technicians who will install the 2809R

This manual is divided into the following sections:
• Section 1, page 1: Describes the LDS CATV receiver, lists technical specifica-
tions, performance graphs, system applications, and ordering information.
• Section 2, page 7: Describes the installation of the LDS CATV receiver, connec-
tions, and safety precautions.
• Section 3, page 11: Describes the operation of the LDS CATV link, trouble-
shooting, and user maintenance.
A quick-reference index completes the user manual.
