Each model of the single channel amplifier
uses  a  common  chassis.    The  frequency
band and the output power is identified in
the product model number.

2.

Power On LED:

Indicates power is on when lit.

3.

Output Test Monitor:

A -30 dB output test port is provided for
ease of system alignment.

4.

RF Gain, AGC:

The RF output level and the AGC threshold
are controlled from this potentiometer.  A
description  of  the  AGC  function  of  the
amplifier is provided on page 4.

5.

Aural Level:

This tunable notch filter allows adjustment
in the level of the audio carrier.

6.

Input Test Monitor:

A  -20  dB  input  test  point  is  provided  to
easily monitor the signal level originating
from the antenna.

7.

IN:

The signal originating from a broadband or
yagi antenna is connected at this F connector.
Refer to page 3 for information on antenna
selection and proper input levels.

8.

OUT:

The  filter  amplified  signal  is  directly
available at this F connector.

9.

Thru:

The  outputs  of  other  non-adjacent  strip
amplifiers  may  be  coupled  through  this  F
connector.

10.

Convenience Outlet:

This outlet is provided to allow the chaining
of  amplifiers  in  the  head-end  equipment
rack. The polarized AC outlet is capable of
delivering up to 250 watts of AC power.

11.

Power Cord:

This  three  prong  polarized  power  cord  is
approved  by  both  UL  and  CSA  for  safe
operation  of  the  amplifier.  Do  not  cut  the
ground  terminal  for  both  safety  and
operational reasons. Connect to 108 to 125
VAC, 50/60 Hz  electrical outlet.
