You can also locate the BDA-** remotely in the basement or attic and power it
from an AC outlet near the television. For best signal quality, install the BDA-**
as close to the cable entrance as possible. Use the power inserter to send power
to the amplifier through the coaxial cable attached to remote power/RF port 1 on
the amplifier.
To install a BDA-** drop amplifier using remote power:
1. Connect a coaxial cable from the Remote Power/RF Output port of the
amplifier to the RF-PWR port of the BDP-100/PI power inserter.
2. Connect the RF OUT port of the power inserter to your television or set-top
terminal using a coaxial cable.
3. If you have a two- or four-output amplifier, connect the additional televisions
or set-top terminals to the remaining output ports on the amplifier using
coaxial cable.
4. Terminate all unused ports with 75 ohms for optimum RF performance.
5. Connect the coaxial cable-in source to the RF Input port of the amplifier.
6. Connect a coaxial cable from the AC adapter to the PWR IN port of the
power inserter.
7. Plug the AC adapter into the wall outlet.
The power 12/18 VDC port on the amplifier remains non-terminated.
