RFDM-1SingleChannelAgileModulator
Installation Instructions
Introduction
The RFDM-1isaone-channelmonauralfrequency agileaudio/video modulator.The
modulatoraddsan RF(video)signalfromsecuritycamerasorothervideo sourcesto
yourvideo distribution networkusing an unused channel.The RFDM-1coversUHF
channels14to78 and CATVchannels65 to135.
ContentsofPackage
Beforeinstallation,confirmthatthe package containsthe following parts:one RFDM-1
Modulator,one ACAdapter,one video patchcordand one audiopatchcord.
Installation Instructions
Werecommend installingthe modulatorclosetothe signalsource.However,you may
choosetoinstall the modulatoratthe signaldistribution end inaenclosurecabinet.
Installation instructionsforbothoptionsfollowbelow.Observepropercoaxwiring
practicestoensureproperoperation.
AtSignalSource
1.Locatethe RFDM-1withintwofeetofthesignalsourceand anACoutlet.
2.Connectthe RF(video)outputfromthe videosourcetothe RFDM-1“VIDEOIN”jack
usingthesuppliedvideopatchcord.See FigureB.
3.(Optional)Connectthe audiooutputfromthe sourcetothe RFDM-1“AUDIOIN”jack
(3.5mm)usingthesupplied audiopatchcord.See FigureB.
4.Homerun an RG6coaxcablefromthe RFDM-1tothe enclosurecabinethousing the
video distribution modules.Allowsufficientlengthatbothendsofthe run toavoid
stress and forpropertermination and trimout. Terminatebothendsofthe coax
cablewithmaleF-type connectors.Atthe sourceend,connectthe coaxcabletothe
“RFOUT”connectoron the RFDM-1.Atthe distribution end,connectthe coaxcable
toan unused portofacablecombiner,e.g.HS-VH400.Pleaserefertothe
installation instructionsincludedwiththe combinertoinsureproperoperation.
5.Plug the provided 12 VDC,250mApowersupplyintothe powerline and connectto
