CAT-5 Cable Length Limitations:
The length of the CAT-5 cable that runs between the CAT5MOD and the camera or wall
plate is limited. See the individual camera or wall plate manuals for these CAT-5 cable run
limitations.
DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES. OPERATION IS SUBJECT TO THE
FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS: (1) THIS DEVICE MAY NOT CAUSE HARMFUL
INTERFERENCE, AND (2) THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY INTERFERENCE RECEIVED,
INCLUDING INTERFERENCE THAT MAY CAUSE UNDESIRED OPERATION.
Installation requirements:
FCC classifies this product under part 15 of its rules as a “television interface device”.
Systems designed using television interface devices have the following legal requirements:
1) The modulated channel signal strength may not exceed 15.56dBmV at any television Federal
Regulation 47CFR15.115(b)(1)(i).
2) If an antenna is used in the system, the modulated channel signal strength may not exceed
–51dBmV at the antenna input port. Federal Regulation 47CFR15.115(c)(4).
For the Installer:
Any system you design must comply with these regulations. As the installer, you are responsible.
The CAT5MOD has the necessary characteristics to comply with the above requirements as designed
without additional accessories.

PRINTER'S INSTRUCTIONS:
INSTR,INSTL,CAT5MOD,OEM - LINEAR P/N: 222646 X2 - INK: BLACK - MATERIAL: 113 GSM WHITE PAPER COATED 2-SIDES (C2S) - SIZE: 11.000" X 12.500" - FOLDING: 1-FOLD VERTICAL, 4-FOLDS HORIZONTAL, (FINISH HAS LOGOS SHOWING) - SCALE: 1-1 - SIDE 1 OF 2 (FRONT)

The CAT5MOD single channel modulator creates a
new channel to add to existing television channels. This
new channel is created from a video signal the
CAT5MOD receives via a single CAT-5 cable connected
to the CAT5AVWP wall plate. Any TV connected to the
output of the CAT5MOD via coax can receive the signal
when tuned to the proper channel (see the CAT5AVWP
installation manual for further details).

CAT5MOD
Enter the new channel using the
Program push button.
Power the CAT5MOD last, make
all cable and CAT-5 connections
first. Program the new channel using the Program push button to enter channel digits into the
CAT5MOD. This new channel should be an unused channel. It should have no interference
or trace of a picture - just “snow”. There must also be one unused channel both above and
below the selected channel to avoid interference. Below is a simple step by step example of
how to program a channel - cable channel 120:
Press program button

(press 10 to

Wait for power LED
(ready for next number.)
LED comes back on when
done. If an incorrect channel
is entered, LED will flash
quickly and return to the
previous setting.

Default Setting for CAT5MOD
When not using baseband connectors insert all jumpers (W1, W2, W3 & W4 are
installed at factory).
Optional Settings
To use baseband connectors as outputs when CAT5MOD receives video from Cat-
5 video source, insert W2, W3, & W4, remove W1.
To use baseband connectors as inputs when using the CAT5MOD as a stand
alone modulator, insert W1 and remove W2, W3 & W4.

Things To Watch For:
Herringbone interference on modulator channel (diagonal lines): You may have chosen a
channel number that is not completely vacant. Distant UHF stations may not be watchable, but
will cause interference if you try to create a new channel at the same frequency. Also, cable
companies often have extra signals where there should be none. Try moving the modulator
channel to another number. You may have to add a low pass filter to remove the cable company
noise. If the filter does not work, try adding a DC-block to remove common mode interference.
Herringbone interference on many channels, including modulated channel (disappears
when you remove the CATV/antenna feed): The RF amplifier can be overloaded by
abnormally strong signals. Often, you can cure the problem with a simple attenuator. Use a
variable attenuator and try to find a signal level where the interference just disappears.
Sometimes, the problem is one station is far stronger than the rest. In this case, attenuating all
of the signals with a simple attenuator may cause the desired stations to be weak (snowy).You
must reduce the strength of the only offending station. A common FM trap will help if the
problem is a nearby FM tower. If the problem is a nearby TV station, often the station
management can provide suitable filters.
No picture … Check that the TV and the modulator are tuned to the same channel. For
example, if the modulator is broadcasting on UHF channel 16, make sure the TV is on UHF 16
rather than CATV 16. UHF 16 and CATV 16 are at different frequencies. Also ... Make sure the
CAT5MOD and camera or wall plate are wired properly.
Weak CAT5MOD UHF channel … If the TV has a separate UHF input, be sure that it is
connected.
Audio volume is low … The left and right audio inputs are combined for monaural. For proper
audio level, both right and left inputs must be used. If you have a mono source, connect it to
both right and left inputs using an RCA ‘Y’ connector.
No color on CAT5MOD channels … You may have chosen the incorrect cable standard. Not
all televisions can accommodate the 1.25MHz frequency difference between the H and I cable
standards. See the section on programming.

Cable HRC and IRC considerations:
Most cable services use standard or IRC frequency assignments. This is the default for the
CAT5MOD. However, if the cable services use HRC or the TV appears to search for the
“created channel”, program the channel injector for HRC.
For HRC enter a 98. Reset to IRC by entering 99.
Entries 98 and 99 are for setting HRC or IRC only. They do not change the channel number.
