CONNECTING POWER SUPPLY
1. Select location for power supply. Run two coax cables
(three if Set 2 jack is going to be used) (RG-59 type)
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
also needed at inside power supply location. See wiring
diagram, Figures 5 and 6.
2. To mount the power supply, cut a hole in wall to fit the
power supply. Connect 2 #12 wires between power
supply and +12 VDC source and route downlead cable
to this location.
CAUTION: TURN OFF POWER SUPPLY WHEN
CONNECTING CABLES/WIRES!
3. Connect +12 VDC to wall plate/power supply. Install
terminals on wires from +12 VDC source as shown in
Figure 7.
4. Crimp terminals with crimping tool, Figure 8. Push
wires onto tabs on terminal board as shown in Figure 6.
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.
5. Install connectors on downlead, Set 2 and Cable Input
cables. Attach downlead cable to jack on wall plate/
power supply marked Antenna as shown in Figures 5
and 6. 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.
5. Mount power supply in wall with screws provided; 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.

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 worse 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. Red
indicator light will not light. Once short is eliminated,
device will reset itself.
