Winegard AP8700 manual Apply Label, Tips, CONSUMER 90 DAY WARRANTY

NOTE: This power supply is equipped with a Polyswitch. If there is a short between the preamp and the power supply, it will shut the power supply off until the short is removed.

TIPS:

If splitting the signal to multiple TVs or combining with another signal source, it is strongly recommended that the power injector be installed between the preamplifer and the splitter/combiner input. In this case, the cable connection from the “TV” jack of the power injector goes to the splitter input or valid combiner input. Use splitters rated from 54-806 MHz or wider bandwidth (commonly 5-1000 MHz) for over-the-air television signal distribution.

Additional distribution/inline amplifiers must be installed FOLLOWING the TV output of the power injector, NOT on the downlead cable line connecting to the ANTENNA port. Check TV picture quality, if the power injector LED is glowing when powered, and antenna alignment prior to adding additional line amplifiers.

To maximize the operating life of the amplifier, install the power injector close to the TV receiver (if only one will be used with the antenna) or the first signal splitter. A maximum preamp-to-power injector length of 150 feet RG-6 or 150 feet RG-59 is acceptable.

FM TRAP OPERATION (Not applicable to Models AP-4700, AP-4800, or HDP-269)

The preamplifier features two FM traps, one fixed and the other variable. The preamplifier is shipped with the fixed FM in the “FIXED TRAP IN” position and the variable FM trap tuned out of the FM band (about 108 MHz). See Figure 5.

If FM reception is desired, move the FM trap switch to the “FIXED TRAP OUT” position.

FM interference is indicated by “herringbone” patterns appearing on any VHF channel (2 through 13). If this interference is present, verify the FM trap is in the “FIXED TRAP IN” position. If interference is still present, turn the “VARIABLE FM TRAP” screw very slowly while observing the TV channel with the greatest interference until the picture clears. See Figure 5.

The variable FM trap can also be used with the fixed FM trap in the “FIXED TRAP OUT” position. This allows you to receive FM and tune out a specific FM station that is causing interference. This is performed the same as the proceeding paragraph except the FM trap is in the out position.

SPECIFICATION : 14 Volts Nominal at 130 Milliamps Max.

NOTE: A label is supplied so you can enter the installation date and record the frequency the vari- able trap is tuned to. Once tuning is complete, apply the label to the bottom of the preamplifier to seal openings. See figure 5. For models without traps, apply the label to the bottom of the preamplifier to seal openings.
