Central Style PDI -772HE Power Supply - RF Cable Installation
Low voltage AC TV power is present on each central power supply TV coax cable. A PDi Power Passer (part number PD167-003) is
required to route the AC power on the coax cable around any externally connected device such as the Satellite Box. A Power Passer is
required for each TV/STB connection. For new installations, the use of a PDI-772HE-IND instead of PDI-772-HE will eliminate the
need for the power passers.
NOTE: The PD167-003 Power Passer is an optional device NOT supplied with the interface module and is only required
for centrally powered arm mounted televisions. Please contact PDi or your PDi distributor to order this device.
1. Remove power from the TV at the central power
supply.
2. Connect a coaxial cable from the STB “OUT TO
TV” to the Power Passer’s “RF IN FROM
EXTERNAL DEVICE”.
3. Locate the coaxial cable from the central power
supply. Connect this cable to “FROM POWER
SUPPLY”.
4. Connect the coaxial cable from the TV to
“COMBINED SIGNAL TO TV.” The TV coax should
be limited to 150’ to accommodate the central
power supply coax length limitations.
5. Connect an Optional Secondary RF signal coaxial
cable from the Power Passer’s “RF OUT TO
EXTERNAL DEVICE” to the set-top-box “OFF-AIR
IN”. This connection is only necessary if you
wish to view TV signals that are already present
on your system in addition to set-top-box
signals.
