Connecting Antennas

Wall/Ceiling Mounting
If you mount your antennas on a wall or ceiling, be sure to keep the following minimum
distances:
Fig 4: Minimum distances from plane surfaces
Mount the antenna at least 10 cm (4 in.) in front of and at a minimum lateral distance of
50 cm (20 in.) from any walls or other plane surfaces, metal grids, or metal scaffolding.
Fig 5: Minimum distances from floor and ceiling
Make sure the antenna will sit at least 15 cm (6 in.) above the floor or 50 cm (20 in.) from the
ceiling (or 15 cm (6 in.) if you route the cable to the antenna from above).
Single-channel System with Passive Antennas
1)
Measure the cable run between the receiver and each antenna.
2)
Refer to Table 1 on page 27 to find out whether you will need to break the cable run
down into several cables and insert one or two AB4000 antenna boosters. Table 1 states
the maximum acceptable cable lengths for RG58 and RG213 cables separately.
3)
Connect an antenna cable to each antenna.
4)
Referring to Table 1, connect the antennas to the antenna inputs on the receiver. If you
need one or two AB4000 antenna boosters, you will need to insert an ASU4000 remote
power adapter between the receiver and the first antenna booster.
5)
Check that the AC mains voltage stated on the power supplies for the ASU4000 and the
receiver is identical to the AC mains voltage available where you will use your system.
Using the power supplies with a different AC voltage may cause damage to the unit.
6)
Connect the remote power adapter and the receiver to their respective power supplies
and connect each power supply to a convenient power outlet.
Using the power supplies with a different AC voltage may cause damage to the unit.
Single-channel System with Active Antennas
1)
Measure the cable run between the receiver and each active antenna.
2)
Refer to Table 1 on page 27 to find out whether you will need to break the cable run
down into several cables and insert one or two AB4000 antenna boosters. Table 1 states
the maximum acceptable cable lengths for RG58 and RG213 cables separately.
3)
Connect an antenna cable to each antenna.
