Installing the Power Supply

The power supply should be turned off when connecting cables/wires.
Select a location for the power supply. The power supply may be flush
mounted in most standard electrical boxes. To flush mount, cut a hole in
the wall to fit the box. Run two #12 wires between the wall plate and +12
VDC source, and route downlead cable to this location.
Make 12 volt connection to the power supply. Install the supplied terminals
on wires from +12 VDC source, and crimp the terminals with an appropriate
crimping tool.
Push the wires onto tabs on the back of the power supply. If in doubt as to
the polarity of the wires, connect them temporarily to the tabs, and press
the “ON” switch on front of wall plate; if light comes on, polarity is correct.
Turn power off. (
“ PWR ” and “ GND ” are also noted on the underside of the power supply
electronics board. )
Connect the coax cable from the antenna to the “ANTENNA” port on the
power supply, and tighten until fingertight. Then, tighten ¼ turn more.
(The coax cable should have been routed through the ceiling and wall to
the chosen wall plate location.) If the connector is removed before routing
the coax cable, see page 9 for help re-installing the connector.
If hooking up the antenna to a second television, connect another coax
cable from the “SET 2” port on the back of the power supply to the
“Antenna In” port on the second television. If hooking up a cable input,
connect the cable from the cable input to the “CABLE” port on the back of
the power supply.
Mount the power supply in wall with the provided screws.
Connect a coax cable from the coax port on the front of the power supply
to the “Antenna In” coax port on the main TV.
Press the “ON” switch on the front of the power supply, and check that the
light is on.
NOTE
This unit is equipped with a polyswitch, a current limiting device,
which will shut down +12 VDC if there is a direct short between
the antenna and power supply. The indicator light will not light. Once the
short is eliminated, the device will reset itself.
A satellite pass-through port is located near the top of the power supply.
