3. Connect the FMA-LG101 to the RF distribution system as described below.
Connect the FMA-LG101 to the RF Distribution System
Note: The RF distribution system must support 50.5 MHz RF transmission (downstream)
from the head end to the FTG device(s).
1. Connect the FMA-LG101 RF OUT to the RF distribution system.
Note:
The 50 MHz low pass filter (6MLP-50) provided should be installed to protect RF channels 2
and 3 from any potential RF interference produced by the FMA-LG101.
2. Verify that the 50.5 MHz RF signal level is b3 dBmV and +10 dBmV at the FTG device(s).
Note that additional equipment may be required to adjust the signal level. If the signal level is not
within the recommended range, communications will be negatively affected, resulting in a partial or
missing channel lineup and/or Installer Menu settings data.
