Operating Instructions
Mast Mounted Outdoor Antenna Amplifier
Installation Instructions
1. Place pre-amplifier unit on the antenna mast approxi
mately 3 feet below the antenna.
2. Use mast clamp and wing nuts provided to secure the
pre-amplifier unit to the mast.
3. Connect the antenna terminals to the input terminals of
the pre-amplifier unit. This connection may be made using
either 300 ohm twin lead or 75 ohm coaxial cable. See
below for specific instructions.
300 ohm Twin Lead__________________
Split 300 ohm lead about 6 inches and then strip off 1 inch
of insulation on each end of the lead. Attach one end of
the lead wire to the antenna and the other end to the pre
amplifier inputs.The pre-amplifier input terminals are
reached by removing the weatherproof cover. This can be
done by loosening (not removing) the cover lock screws
and lifting off the weatherproof cover. Attach the leads to
the 300 ohm terminals, be sure to place the wire under the
hold down (see illustration).

75 ohm Coaxial Cable
Use an outdoor matching transformer (not included)
to attach the coaxial cable to the antenna terminals. There
are two ways to attach the coaxial cable to the pre
amplifier unit.
1. Use another matching transformer to attach the coax
cable to the terminals marked 300 ohm.
2. Strip back the outer jacket 2.5 inches. Then twist the
braid to form a lead. Cut off 1 inch of the inner foam in
sulation exposing the center conductor. Place the coaxial
cable under the hold down and connect the center con
ductor under the left hand terminal and the braid under
the right hand terminal.
