1.1. Safety measures
1.- Never place the equipment next to hot sources.
2.- Never undergo the equipment to temperatures that exceed the level of operation of the device.
3.- Do not expose the equipment to dripping or splashing.
4.- Do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the equipment.
5.- Respect ventilation slots of this equipment. Avoid covering them with any object.
6.- Keep clean and without obstacles a minimum radius of 40 cm around this equipment.
7.- Avoid locations with possibilities of spilling liquids on the inside of the device, and with important changes of
temperature.
8.- Never open the equipment yourself due to electric risk. In case of problems, go always to qualified technicians..
9.- Never, under no circumstances, open the equipment connected to the electrical net.
10.- During the handling it is better to disconnect the equipment of the electrical net.
11.- Respect the electricity security rules during the assembling. Use materials that obey the current law.
12.- The connecting plug must be accessible in a fast and simple way to have a fast disconnection.
13.- Never touch the plug with wet hands. Also, disconnect always the device before handling the connections..
14.- Never put any heavy object over the device, as it could get damaged.

1.3. Description and Connections
This family of broadband amplifiers has a configurable return path that can be active or passive. The difference between
amplifiers is that HCA ZM XX-30 models have a 5-30 MHz return path and HCA ZM XX-65 models have a 5-65 MHz
one.
These amplifiers have aluminium housing with a removable cover that allows the installer to configure the amplifier
according to the needs of the installation.

Inside the equipment there is a simplified sketch of the different stages of the amplifier and also it is given the access to
configure the different options that the amplifier offers.
The gain of HCA ZM 20-XX amplifier is 22dB for terrestrial band and 20dB for return path (active), for HCA ZM 30-XX
amplifier is 32dB for terrestrial band and 28 dB for return path (active) .
They also incorporate a margin of regulation of 20 dB and an equalization of 10 dB in the terrestrial band and they
incorporate a regulation margin of 20 dB in the return path.
The configuration of the return path is made through jumpers, depending of their position the return path can be active or
passive.
The following table specifies which the positions of the jumpers are in order to get a passive or active return path:
Return path Stage Return path Configuration
Passive
Active
The equipment is provided with a wall support with wedges and screws included.
The steps to make a correct installation are the followings:
-Bring down the fastening device. The equipment will be now loosed and it will be possible to separate the support
from the equipment.
-Fix the support to the wall with the wedged and screws provided.
-Introduce the equipment again in the wall support once it is installed.
-Bring up the fastening device to adjust the equipment to the support.

1 IN: Input terrestrial signal 5-862 MHz (*)
2 OUT: Output Terrestrial signal 5-862 MHz (*)
3 AC IN: Power cord ( 230V AC, 50Hz )
(*) Nota: In model HCA ZM 20-30/HCA ZM 30-30 the margin of inputs and output frequencies is 47-862 MHz and the return path 5-30MHz. For
model HCA ZM 20-65/HCA ZM 30-65 the margin of input and output frequencies is 85-862MHz and the return path 5-65MHz.

Example of installation
Example of an installation in a dwelling with 8
outlets. The CATV signals are distributed in each
outlet.
The amplifiers allow us to equalize the signal, and
this way the power difference between high and
low signals can be avoided, therefore we can
reach an optimal signal level in each outlet
The amplifier allows us to configure the return
path as active, this way we would be able to use
any multimedia service that the provider could
supply us. The return path can be 30MHz or
65MHz depending on model HCA ZM 20/30-XX
that we use.
