Page: 15 / 28

Board Installation
Use the following steps to install the ADA-8504 in a RossGear 8000 series digital distribution frame:
1. Refer to the User Manual of the RossGear 8000 series frame, to ensure that the
frame is properly installed according to instructions. If this module is to be installed
in any compatible frame other than a Ross Video product, refer to the frame
manufacturer’s manual for specific instructions.
2. Please note that heat and power distribution requirements within a frame may dictate
specific slot placement of cards. Cards with many heat-producing components
should be arranged to avoid areas of excess heat build-up, particularly in frames
using convectional cooling.
3. After selecting the desired frame installation slot, hold the ADA-8504 card by the
edges and carefully align the card edges with the slots in the frame. Then fully insert
the card into the frame until the rear connection plug is properly seated.
BNC Labels
The ADA-8504 is supplied with two BNC labels, one for single amplifier configuration and one for
dual amplifier configuration. Affix the supplied BNC label, as per the included instructions, to the
BNC area on the rear of the rack frame.
Cable Connections
This section provides instructions for connecting cables to the ADA-8504 when mounted in RossGear
8000 series Digital Products Frames.
Connect the input and output cables according to the frame rear panel connections diagram in the
following figures. The inputs are internally terminated in 75 ohms. It is not necessary to terminate
unused outputs.
