STEP 11:
Select location for wall plate. Run two
coax cables (RG-59 type) (three if set 2 jack is going
to be used) between locations and install connectors
on each end.
Mark cables so "cable input", "TV
output" "Set 2" may be identified.
Antenna
downlead and +12 VDC will also be needed at inside
wall plate/power supply location.
STEP 12:
The wall plate/power supply assembly
may be flush mounted in most standard electrical
boxes. To flush mount cut a hole in wall to fit the box.
Run 2 #12 wires between wall plate/power supply
and +12 VDC source and route downlead cable to
this locatio
n.
CAUTION
THE POWER SUPPLY SHOULD BE TURNED OFF
WHEN CONNECTING CABLES/WIRES TO POWER
SUPPLY. SEE FIGURE 14.
STEP 13:
Make 12 volt connection to wall plate/
power supply, Figure 10. Install terminals on wires
from +12 VDC source, Figure 11. Crimp terminals
with appropriate crimping tool or equivalent, Figure
12. Push wires onto tabs on terminal board as shown
in Figure 10. If in doubt as to the polarity of the wires,
connect them temporarily to tabs on circuit board and
press ON switch on front of wall plate; if light comes
on, polarity is correct, Figure 10.
STEP 14:
Install connectors on downlead, set 2 and
cable input cables as shown on page 4. Attach
downlead cable to jack on wall plate/power supply
marked antenna, Figure 13. Attach cable going to set
2 outlet to jack on power supply marked SET 2.
Attach cable coming from cable input to jack on
power supply marked CABLE.
STEP 15:
Mount power supply in wall with screws
provided and attach TV set cable to jack on front of
power supply/wall plate. Press ON switch on front of
wall plate and check that light is on, Figure 14.
CHECKING OPERATION OF POWER SUPPLY
1. Tune TV receiver to nearest station and rotate
antenna for best picture and sound.
2. Press OFF switch on power supply. Picture on TV
should be considerably degraded with power off.
3.
This unit is equipped with a polyswitch
,
(current limiting device), which will shut down +12
VDC if there is a direct short between antenna and
power supply. Green indicator light will not light.
Once short is eliminated, device will reset itself.
ADDING OPTIONAL AMPLIFIED WALLPLATE TO
NON-AMPLIFIED RV/TV INSTALLATION
Model RA-7596 solid state TV signal amplifier works
with any non-amplified RV/TV antenna. Improves
picture quality. Uses +12 VDC; has on/off switch,
indicator light, set 2 output, cable input and +12 VDC
receptacle.
