Installation
1. Fiber and coaxial cable protection
   There are fiber and coaxial cable protection design in the rear panel. See figure 4-1; please fix this protection device with screw before use. (the rectanglar hole is to protect the coaxial cable, and the arch hole is to protect the reverse fiber.

2. Connection
   Please connect reverse fiber to OR1~OR4 separately, and then connect the RF output of this receiver to headend system.
   Note(R1-RF1, OR2-RF2, OR3-RF3, OR4-RF4)

3. Output level Test
   Test the output level by following two ways
      1. Test the level of the output port with one field-strength meter.
      2. Get the output level from the test point on front panel. (test level + 20dB)

4. Output level adjust
   Select LGC on front panel, and adjust the level by tuning the variable attenuator (key 4) in front panel.

5. System Matching
   The output level and input level of poststage equipment such as CMTS or FM Modulator/ demodulator.
   If this device shall be connected to CMTS, the output level should be around 50~85DB. While it should be 64~74DB if connected to FM Modulator /demodulator.
