Arm Mounted Televisions
The PD295-001 Satellite Interface is also compatible with several of the PDI Arm Mounted televisions that incorporate a
CCI Port. Models such as the PDI-P15X, PDI-P14W, and PDI-P19W can be used successfully with the Satellite Interface
Module when ordered with the CCI option. The PDI-P10LCD series arm mounted TV can NOT be used with the PD295-
001 Satellite Interface as it does not have a CCI Port.
NOTE: Each TV and its Support Arm must be pre-wired with a CAT5 CCI data cable. Please contact PDi
Communication Systems or your PDi distributor for assistance should your TV and/or Arm lack this cable.
Arm Mounted TV - Data Cable Installation
The CAT5 data cable used to
connect the remotely located
TV to the Interface should not
exceed 300 feet in length.
CAT5 cables are not provided
with the Satellite Interface.
1. Connect one end of the
CAT5 cable to the Data
Cable from the Arm/TV. The
in-room Data Connection is
typically wall mounted as
illustrated below.
2. Connect the other end of
the CAT5 cable to the RJ45
port on the PD295-001
Satellite Interface.
3. Connect the Type-A end
(Flat Connector) of the USB
cable to the port marked
“USB” on the Satellite Set
Top Box.
4. Connect the Type-B end
(Square Connector) of the
USB cable to the USB port on the PD295-001 Satellite Interface.
Arm Mounted TV - RF Cable Installation
Unlike AC powered wall mounted TV’s, PDi arm mounted television models receive their RF signal and TV power
combined together along a connecting coax cable from an external power source. Special consideration must be used in
handling the low voltage AC power found on the RF signal coax cable.
Two types of external power supplies are used with arm mounted televisions: individual style and central style. The
individual power supply mounts near the TV injecting power from a nearby AC outlet onto the incoming coaxial cable. The
central supply injects power onto 10 separate coax cables simultaneously and mounts in a wiring closet as far as 150 feet
away from the TV’s. Connection of the RF signal coax cable for each style of power supply is detailed below.
