Kingray MDA22V Shielded and Non Shielded F Type Masthead Distribution Amplifiers Installation Guide

Kingray MDA22V Shielded and Non Shielded F Type Masthead Distribution

Amplifiers

Product Information

The MDA22V/MDA22U/MDA22WS are masthead distribution amplifiers designed and built in Australia. These amplifiers are suitable for digital TV distribution solutions. They are available in both shielded and non-shielded versions.

The MDA22 series is based on convergent technology, providing a low noise figure and high output performance. This makes it ideal for installations in problem reception areas. The amplifiers can be used as masthead amplifiers or distribution amplifiers and are effective in our digital environment.

Here are the specifications for each model:

Model| Frequency| Gain| Noise Figure| Output Figure| Return Loss| Supply Voltage| Inputs
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
MDA22V| 174-230 MHz| 22 dB| 10 dB| 1| 12 to 14V DC| 1
MDA22U| 520-694 MHz| 22 dB| 12 to 14V DC| 1| 1| 12 to 14V DC
MDA22WS| 174-694 MHz| 22 dB| 12 to 24V DC| 1| 1| 12 to 24V DC

Note: Recommended power supply is PSK06 or PSK06F.

Product Usage Instructions

To install the masthead amplifier, follow these steps:

1. Mount the amplifier onto a mast using the polypropylene securing strap or mount it to a wall using the four pre-drilled holes. The best location for the masthead unit is on the mast, 300mm to 1m below the antenna.
2. Ensure the weatherproof strips remain in place.
3. Connect the antenna input to the amplifier.
4. Check that the power ON LED is lit, indicating power is present.
5. Connect the output connector to a splitter or power supply.
6. If using a power supply unit, place it at a television outlet or a remote location. Run a low voltage cable from the power supply to the amplifier head via the output.
7. Use F type connectors for the amplifier.
8. If necessary, strip the cable using a cable stripper or Stanley knife.
9. Slide on an F connector and crimp or use a twist-on connector.
10. If required, use adaptors depending on the wall plate installed and the model of the power supply used.

Technical Advice:

1. To check if power is reaching the amplifier, verify if the LED is lit.
2. Ensure the orientation of the injector on the power supply is correct.
3. If there are multiple outlets, 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.

Thank you for selecting an Australian designed and built masthead amplifier.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

GENERAL INFORMATION

• The MDA22 amplifier series is based on a new concept of convergent technology. The characteristics of the IC selected provide a very low noise figure and
  an output figure that surpasses most distribution amplifiers hence the name Masthead Distribution Amplifier (MDA).

• The MDA22 Series are multipurpose amplifiers that are ideal for our digital environment.

• Whether the units are used as a Masthead or Distribution Amplifier the low noise figure, capacity for multiple channels with low distortion and a high output provides a solution for all installations and is proven especially effective in problem reception areas.

INSTALLATION

• The head of the amplifier may be mounted outside on the pole under the antenna or in the roof. The amplifier requires F type connectors.
• The power supply unit (FIG.1) is placed at a television outlet, or at a remote location, a low voltage then runs up the cable to power the head remotely, via the output. There are no controls inside the housing, however there is an LED that when on, indicates power is present.
• Bare back cable with a cable stripper or Stanley knife (FIG.2).
• Slide on F connector and crimp or use a twist-on connector (FIG.3).
• Note: Depending on the wall plate installed and model power supply used, you may need to use adaptors.

TECHNICAL ADVICE

1. Check if the power is reaching the amplifier, if it is, the LED will be lit.
2. Check the orientation of the injector is correct on the power supply.
3. 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).
