Introduction
The Entry Series®EVO15UU-B is a 5-output device with one all-passive port for Voice Modems (Gateways, eMTAs, etc.) and four
active ports with unity gain for video. The all-passive Voice Modem Port maintains signal integrity to and from the Voice
Modem/Gateway port in the event of a power outage or active circuit failure. If digital voice services are not being implemented,
the Voice Modem port can be used for video or data services.
The Entry Series®EVO15UU-B carton should contain:
•Entry device, EVO15UU-B
•Power supply, PPC-PS15450 or PPC-PS15450PI depending on availability
•Mounting screws, ¼” Triple-combo
Required Tools:
•Philips screwdriver, flat-head screwdriver or ¼ hex-head nut driver for mounting the unit
•Open Ended 7/16” Torque wrench appropriate for connectors
Powering:
The provided PPC-PS15450 and PPC-PS15450PI power supplies should be used to power the amplifier. These power supplies
are designed for a 115 VAC input and performance matched to the Entry Device.
Grounding:
For 6 AWG wire, torque Ground Screw to 30 in-lbs. For 14 AWG wire, torque Ground Screw to 20 in-lbs. All unused ports should
be terminated into 75 Ω. Apply power to the amplifier only after all RF port connections have been made. The maximum
recommended length of RG6 bi-shield coaxial cable between the power supply and the amplifier power port is 225 ft.
Troubleshooting:
1. Verify proper voltage to the input of the amplifier.
• If YES, proceed to step 2
• If NO, replace the power supply and repeat step 1.
• If the power supply was replaced and the voltage is not correct, replace the cable between the power supply and the amplifier
2. Determine if the four OUTPUT ports are providing RF signals at the proper levels.
• If YES, the LED is likely bad.
• If NO, the amplifier is damaged and must be replaced.
