DIGINOVA BOSS Antenna 6
Specially designed for the reception of the
DTV (and ready to reject LTE/4G). The Diginova
antenna receives all available digital and HD
local programming in your area.
UV resistant protective ABS plastic radome
housing ideal to withstand adverse climate
conditions.
Compact, durable and unobstrusive design
provides low visual impact. Specially suited for
balconies and single-family homes.
Easy installation with its built-in heavy duty
mounting clamp.
BOSS-Tech technology provides highest
electrical performance and optimized output
leveles.
Manufactured using only the highest quality
materials providing the best resistance to
moisture, water, wind, extreme heat, etc.
Safety Instructions:
LIGHTNING PROTECTION
If installed outdoors, be sure the antenna system
is grounded so as to provide protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA70, or CSA C22.1 sections 10, 16, and
54, of the Canadian Electrical Code, provide
information with respect to proper grounding
of the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the antenna lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection
to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode (see gure and
instructions).
Mount the lightning arrestor or 75 ohm coaxial
grounding block as close as possible to where
the 75 ohm coaxial cable downlead enters the
house.
The ground wires for both the mast and the
downlead should be copper or aluminum wire,
number eight (8) or larger.
The downlead wire from the antenna to the
lightning arrestor and the mast ground wire
should be secured to the house, spaced from four
(4) to six (6) feet apart.
In the case of a “ground up” antenna installation
it may not be necessary to ground the mast if
the mast extends four or more feet in the earth.
Consult a TV serviceman for the proper depth in
your location.
WARNINGS
To prevent re or shock hazard, do not expose
the included power supply to rain or moisture.
Installation of o-air antennas near power
lines is dangerous. For your safety, follow the
installation instructions.
Any alteration or modication to the product
or usage not in accordance with product
instructions voids the warranty.

Included accesories:
1 Indoor 2-output power supply
1 F watertight cover.
General features
7 element Yagi UHF antenna (directional) with
Microstrip1 technology and printed FM / High
VHF dipole.
BOSS-Tech technology automatically adjusts
VHF and UHF gain to deliver optimum signal
output levels at all times. Signals pass through
when power is not applied (passive mode).
Kit package including an FM / High VHF / UHF
antenna and a 120V~ ±10% indoor power
supply.
The included indoor power supply activates
the BOSS-Tech system built into the Diginova
antenna. The antenna can also be used in passive
mode.

Installation
Always install the antenna with a good line of
sight to the transmitter for best results (g. 2).
A mast diameter between 1” 3/8 and 1” 3/4 (35 to
45mm) is recommended.
The antenna may be installed for horizontal or
vertical polarity (gs. 3 & 4).
Attach the antenna to the mast following the
steps shown for a good grip (gs. 4a/b 2).
Tighten the connecting bolts snug so that
the antenna can then be turned towards the
transmitter (gs. 4a/b 3) and then secure.
COAX CABLE RECOMMENDATIONS
Minimum bending radius: (RG-59, RG-6) 3 inch
radius. Tighter bends will cause shorts and
changes in impedance.
Tension: (Televes T-100) 75 pounds maximum.
There should be no tension on the cable once it
is installed.
Staples or clamps: The use of at staples with
coax cable is not recommended, only round
headed staples should be used.
Heat: Maximum temperature limit 176°F (80°C).
Keep cable away from heating vents and water
heaters.
Crushing: Coax should not be installed in a
manner that would allow it to be crushed, stued
or wedged into areas where the cable could be
pinched.
Moisture: Most cable jackets will withstand
outdoor environments. However, connections
and splices must be sealed to prevent water
damage.
Installing the indoor power supply
Install the indoor power supply in an easy to
access location keeping it away from heat,
moisture or excessive dust and avoiding long
cable runs between the antenna and the power
supply (g. 5).
Both the antenna and the indoor power supply
use “F” connectors.
To avoid undesired cable slack it is not advisable
to use more than one service loop. Double check
the cable used is in perfect condition and is not
crushed and/or pinched.
Installation diagram
Follow the diagram shown in gure 7.
Use the provided watertight cover to protect the
outdoor antenna connection (g. 6 and 8).

Troubleshooting
Issue Possible Cause Solutions
Non functioning Has mains voltage been applied? Check electrical installation.
No picture or sound Is the TV tuned to an actual existing channel?
Tune the TV set to an existing local TV channel.
Check installation cable and connectors for short circuit conditions.
Check DC voltage at the PSU’s antenna connector.
Poor picture quality Is there a good line of sight to the transmitter? Remove obstacles and/or reassess antenna location.
Operating mode
The BOSS-Tech system is activated when the
antenna is connected to the power supply and
automatically regulates the gain depending on
the signal received to provide optimum output
levels at all times. This is the operating mode
recommended for general use (active mode).
The antenna may also be used in passive mode
when the signal received in the area is good
enough. In this scenario the power supply is
not needed and the antenna may be connected
directly to the TV set.
The BOSS-Tech system can also be powered
using any battery or DC source (12 to 24V) and
a power injector.
Tune the TV to the VHF/UHF channels received
in the area and check the image on the screen
to choose the most convenient operation mode
(active/pasive).

Instrucciones de seguridad:
PROTECCIÓN CONTRA RAYOS/DESCARGAS
Si la instalación es exterior, asegúrese de que el
sistema este conectado a tierra para protección
contra descargas eléctricas exteriores y des-
cargas de estática interiores. La sección 810 del
Código Eléctrico Nacional ANSI/NFPA70, o CSA
C22.1 secciones 10, 16, y 54, del Código Eléctrico
Canadiense, proporcionan información respecto
a la puesta a tierra del mástil y de la estructura de
soporte, puesta a tierra del cableado de la antena,
interconexión de cables hacia unidades de des-
carga, tamaño de las líneas de tierra, ubicación
de las unidades de descarga, conexión hacia
electrodos de puesta a tierra y requerimientos de
estos electrodos (ver gura e instrucciones).
Montar una unidad de descarga o carga coaxial
de 75 ohm tan cerca de la entrada del cable
coaxial en la vivienda como sea posible.
Utilizar alambre de cobre o aluminio de calibre
ocho (8) o superior para las líneas de tierra tanto
del mástil como del cable de bajada.
El cable de bajada de la antena a la unidad de
descarga y la línea de descarga del mástil deben
estar asegurados a la casa, separados entre si de
cuatro (4) a seis (6) pies.
Cuando el mástil se instala directamente sobre
tierra alcanzando una profundidad de cuatro (4)
o más pies en el terreno puede no ser necesaria
una línea de masa. Consulte a un instalador espe-
cializado para conocer el dato exacto correspon-
diente a su zona.
ADVERTENCIAS
Para reducir el riesgo de fuego o choque eléc-
trico, no exponer la fuente de alimentación a la
lluvia o a la humedad.
Es peligroso instalar antenas terrestres cerca de
líneas de alta tensión. Extreme la precaución y
siga las instrucciones.
La modicación o alteración del producto o su
utilización para un n distinto a aquel para el que
fue diseñado invalida toda garantía.
