High Performance Amplifier
(150-1109)                 Installation               Faxback Doc. # 19598

CAUTIONS:  For outdoor antennas, install an antenna grounding system, as
           shown on the included SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS sheet.

           The power supply has a protection circuit that shuts down the
           amplifier if there are stray wires between the power supply and
           the amplifier.  If the amplifier does not operate, check for
           stray wires.  Proper operation should resume when the problem is
           corrected.

Installing the Amplifier

1.  Mount the amplifier on the antenna mast, about 12 inches below the
    antenna.  Position the U-bolt and mounting bracket as shown in Figure A
    in Faxback Doc. # 19599, "Connections."  Then install washers and
    tighten the nuts securely.

2.  Attach one end of the provided coaxial cable to the amplifier's F-
    connector labeled TO ANTENNA.  Attach the other end of this cable to
    the antenna's terminals, using the supplied 300-to-75 Ohm matching
    transformer if necessary.

    NOTES:  Be sure to fully seat the weather boots provided on the coaxial
            cable over their corresponding F-connectors.

            Leave a slight amount of slack (called a drip loop) where the
            cable attaches to the amplifier.

3.  Choose a length of cable long enough to reach from the antenna to your
    TV or receiver.  Radio Shack stores have various premade lengths of
    cable with boots and connectors in place.  If you choose to assemble
    your own coaxial cable, use the supplied weatherboot at the amplifier's
    connections.

    Attach one end of a 75-Ohm coaxial cable to the amplifier's F-connector
    labeled TO POWER SUPPLY.

    NOTE:  Do not splice the cable or install any in-line devices such as
           splitters or filters.  You can install a grounding block (Cat. 
           No. 15-909), which dissipates DC current and provides a 
           connection point for a static discharge ground rod.

4.  Use either standoffs or weather-resistant electrical tape to secure the
    cable to the antenna mast.

    Use standoffs to secure the cable to the building as you route the
    cable to your TV.

    NOTES:  If you use a power rotator for your antenna, leave enough cable
            slack for unrestrained rotation of the upper section.

            Leave a slight amount of slack (called a drip loop) where the
            cable enters your house.

            Be sure to weatherproof all connections, using plastic
            electrical tape or a coaxial sealant.

Installing the Power Supply

NOTES:  The power supply is designed for indoor use only.

        Do not mount the unit to any electrical equipment or your TV set.

Choose a location for the power supply near the TV or FM receiver, and
close to a standard AC outlet.  Then use the provided screw to attach the
power supply to a wall.

1.  Drill a hole at the desired location and thread the screw into the hole
    until its head extends about 1/8 inch from the wall.

2.  Align the power supply's keyhole slot with the screw head and slide the
    power supply down.

3.  Connect the coaxial cable from the amplifier to the power supply's
    FROM AMPLIFIER terminal.  Do not overtighten the connector.

4.  Connect one end of a short length of cable to the power supply's TO TV
    terminal.

5.  Connect the other end of the short cable to the TV or FM receiver.

    To connect to one TV or FM receiver with a 75-Ohm input, connect the
    cable directly to the input.

    To connect to one TV or FM receiver with a 300-Ohm input, use a 75-to-
    300 Ohm transformer (Cat. No. 15-1140).

    To connect to UHF/VHF TV terminals and an FM receiver, use a VHF/UHF/
    FM splitter (Cat. No. 15-1252).

    CAUTION:  Do not reverse the TO TV and FROM AMPLIFIER connections. 
              Voltage is present at the FROM AMPLIFIER terminal, which
              might damage an improperly connected receiver.

6.  When all connections are made and double-checked, plug the power supply
    into a standard AC outlet.

Multiple TV Connections

The power supply's output, labeled TO TV, can supply a signal to more than
one TV.

Use either an amplified coupler (Cat. No. 15-1107) as shown in Figure B in 
Faxback Doc.# 19599, "Connections", or a passive splitter (Cat. No.
15-1141).
