BDA • Broadband Telecommunications Drop Amplifier
Installation
To install a BDA-** drop amplifier using local power:
1. Remove and discard the port thread protectors.
2. Connect the amplifier RF output ports (RF output 1, 2, 3, 4) to your
televisions or set-top terminals using coaxial cable terminated with F-type
connectors.
3. Terminate all unused ports with 75 ohms for optimum RF performance.
4. Connect the coaxial cable-in source to the RF input port of the amplifier.
5. Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the AC adapter and the other end to
the power 12 VDC (18 VDC) connector on the amplifier.
6. Plug the AC adapter into the wall outlet. The LED on the BDA-** should be lit
to indicate that the unit is receiving 12 VDC (S-series) or 18 VDC (K-series).
