485855-001 Rev B Installation Instructions 5
Installation
To install a BDA-** drop amplifier using local power:
1. Remove and discard the port thread protectors.
2. Connect the amplifier RF output ports (RF OUTPUT 1, 2, 3, 4) to your television or
set-top terminals using coaxial cable terminated with F-type connectors.
3. Terminate all unused ports with 75 ohms for optimum RF performance.
4. Connect the coaxial cable in source to the RF INPUT port of the amplifier.
5. Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the ac adapter and the other end to the
POWER 12 VDC connector on the amplifier.
6. Plug the ac adapter into the wall outlet. The LED on the BDA should be lit to indicate
that the unit is receiving 12 Vdc.
CAUTION ARRIS amplifiers are designed for an operating environment of -40°C to
+60°C. The Mil Spec Hdbk 217 states that a 9°C increase in device operating
environments will reduce the product’s reliability (and projected lifetime) by 50%.
Therefore, you should take proper care to maximize airflow around the BDA100 and
to minimize ambient temperatures, especially if you will be installing the BDA100 in
an enclosed environment (e.g. pedestal, cabinet, etc.).
