Connecting the RF Drop
Connect the RF drop according to the diagram below. The RF drop must have a properly installed ground block in the
power supply enclosure. Recommended downstream RF level is 0 dBmV. Connect any other front panel connections at
this time (e.g. battery strings, tamper switch).
CAUTION!
Install a grounded surge suppressor (Alpha P/N 162-028-10 or equivalent) to protect equipment from
overvoltage.
