Antenna unit
The antenna should be mounted as high as possible and placed
away from masts and funnels and not in same level as radio
communication antennas and radars to avoid reflections and
interference. The superior location is at the masthead, with free
path in all directions. The antenna can be mounted on a 1.5" —2"
or 40—50 mm mast tube, deckmounting flange or mounting
bracket. The coaxial cable downlead should be well protected and
secured to the mast. Unload the downlead cable by means of cable
clamps and protect it from mechanical damage. Avoid outdoor cable
joints, but if necessary, make sure it is waterproof by using self-
vulcanizing rubber tape or similar. Avoid excessive bending at the coaxial
cable. Factors, such as transmitting power, polarization, radiation angle
and antenna height affect the received signal strength and picture quality.
Installation of the PS16 power supply
A.Mount the power supply indoors on the bulkhead by
means of two screws. If PS16 is to be mounted on a steel bulkhead, the
chassis on the power supply must be galvanic isolated from the
bulkhead. Don´t forget to use plastic bushing to isolate all the mounting
screws.
Note. The PS16 Power supply is not waterproof.
Do not connect the supply voltage until the installation is completed.
B.Strip the downlead coaxial cable and twist on the
F-connector, see fig. 1. Make sure that no parts of the braid are short-
circuiting the inner conductor. Connect the cord to the terminal marked
“antenna”. See fig.2.
Strip the TV/Radio coaxial cable and twist on the F-connector.
Connect the cord to one of the terminals marked “TV/Radio output” or
use the enclosed 1.5 m TV cord with F-IEC TV connectors.
Note. To achieve optimum performance, it is essential that the total cable
length (between antenna and TV/Radio-set) is not longer than 25 m
(80 ft). The coaxial cable must be a low loss double shielded
75 ohm type. Secure the coaxial cable by means of clamps and avoid
excessive bends and sharp edges.
Always terminate any unused TV/Radio output with the supplied
terminator plug for optimum result.
C.Connect the supply voltage input to the terminals marked
GND and +. The terminal accepts 12—30 V DC.
Install the fuseholder with a T400 mA fuse in the positive branch of
the power cable. If AC is required please use a local adapter.
Note. Inspect the completed installation. Check supply voltage and
polarity before switch on. Turn the switch on the right side of PS16
to activate the built in amplifier of the antenna.
D.Tune your TV/Radio-set and check sound/picture quality.
Note. In some ports severe reflections from buildings, cranes etc.
can cause distortion due to the nature of the omni-directional
receiving antenna.
In some areas, close to transmitters, overloading of the amplifier
and/or TV/Radio-set might occur.
Under these cirumstances do not interfere with the installation or the
TV/Radio-set.
