Installation and Operation Instructions
Adjusting the gain/peaking jumpers
Video signals passing through long cable runs (over 125 feet) can decrease in strength, creating signal loss. The longer the cable, the higher the video level and the greater the peaking that will be needed to compensate for the loss.
To change the gain/peaking jumpers, do the following:
Disconnect power before making these adjustments.
1.Remove the faceplate from the enclosure by removing the four screws shown in figure 4, and loosen the two screws shown. Do not pull the output cables out of the enclosure.
