13. Lightning - For added protection for this product during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet.
19. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required,
be sure the service technician has used replacement parts speci-
fied by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the
original parts. Unauthorized substitutes may result in fire,
electric shock or other hazards.
14. Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines, other electric
light or power circuits, where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme
care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or
circuits as contact with them may be fatal.
20. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs
to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the product is in proper operating
conditions.
15. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords as this can result in risk of fire or electric shock.
21. Outdoor Antenna Grounding- Before attempting to install
this product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so
as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges.
a. Use No.10 AWG (5.3mm ) copper, No.8 AWG (8.4mm
(aluminum, No.7 AWG (10mm ) copper-clad steel or bronze
wire or larger, as ground wire.
b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-
off insulators spaced from 4 feet (1.22m) to 6 feet (1.83m) apart.
c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where
lead-in enters house.
16. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind
into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
17. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself
as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
18. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the
wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
product.
d. A driven rod may be used as the grounding electrode where
other types of electrode systems do not exist. Refer to the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1984 for information.
e. Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3mm )
copper or equivalent, when a separate antenna grounding elec-
trode is used.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the product does not operate normally by following the
operating instruction. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions. An improper adjustment
may result in damage and will often require extensive work by
a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal
operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged.
f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance
- this indicates a need for service.

MODEL:
PIDA-550
PIDA-750
PIDA-1000
The PIDA series of broadband distribution amplifiers
are high quality push-pull amplifiers producing signal
with extremely low distortion and high output. These
amplifiers are designed for RF distribution systems for
hospitals, schools, apartment complexes, hotels and
similar applications. It can also be used as a headend
launch amplifier in conjunction with the PHC-12U
headend combiner. The enclosure is made of
aluminum to assure reliable heat sinking and corrosion
resistance.

Distribution

modulators are usually combined with either the SP860 signal processor, LBS/MBS/FMS/UBS series strip
amplifiers. Two methods are suggested to combine strip amplifier, modulator and processor outputs which
are then amplified with the PIDA distribution amplifier serving as a launchamp.
The PHC-12U twelve channel passive headend combiner consists of two rows of directional couplers
combined by a hybrid splitter. The directional coupler combining provides high isolation (40 dB) between
the inputs. Normally, the odd channels are combined on one row while even channels are combined on the
other row of directional couplers. The combiner loss is 16 dB per channel.

Another method of combining signals uses three hybrid splitters per headend rack. The odd channels are
combined in one splitter, the even channels in another splitter and the two splitters are combined to a single
output with a third splitter. Each rack is then combined with a final splitter prior to the PIDA amplifier.
