TECHNICAL ADVICE
1. Check there is no earth braid touching the
centre conductor on the coaxial cable.
2. Is there more than one outlet? Check
the splitter box, the power supply must be
connected to the coaxial outlet that feeds the
AC/DC leg of the splitter box to pass power
to the head unit. (Check if LED is on in the
amplifier).
3. Is there now too much signal causing
an overload effect? Try turning down the
gain controls on the masthead unit, or select a
lower gain amplifier.
4.
There is a white line moving through the
picture: Try a PSK06 14 V DC power supply.
INSTALLATION
The Kingray Edge series of amplifiers have
several built-in filters for interference rejection.
The inclusion of low band and LTE filtering (for
future 4G services) in this series provides a
future-proof solution.
The MHW version include filters for amateur
radio and pager frequencies as well as
a switchable FM radio filter.
FM filter (MHW versions only)
To eliminate FM radio interference; make sure
both jumper links are on the ‘FM trap IN’
(DEFAULT).
To amplify FM radio signals, set both jumper links
to ‘FM trap OUT’. As shown in Fig.1.
