the antenna mast and power is duplexed on the downlead, eliminating a separate power supply lead.

WARNING: TO PREVENT SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE
NOTE TO CATV INSTALLERS
This reminder is provided to call the CATV System Installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that pro-
vides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to
the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER
FROM THIS UNIT. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL
The lightning flash with arrow-
head symbol within an equilat-
eral triangle is intended to alert
you to the presence of unin-
sulated “dangerous voltage”
within the product’s enclosure
that may be of sufficient mag-
nitude to constitute a risk of
electrical shock to persons.
The exclamation point
within an equilateral triangle
is intended to alert you to
the presence of important
operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the
product.
Under no circumstances should the unit be
mounted in an unventilated area or other location
where the ambient temperature may exceed the
rated maximum given in the specifications.
Figure 1 shows the method of attaching the CMA-b to the antenna mast
All hardware required to mount the CMA-b is supplied with the unit.
Note: -21 VDC must be supplied to the CMA-b from the output
cable. Blonder Tongue's model 1526 Power Supply is designed
specifically for this purpose.
The performance of the CMA-b can be checked at the -20 dB test
jack without interrupting service. A standard 75-ohm "F" connector
is used.
