Installing and Configuring the GainMaker Line Extender 

593057 Rev E 

The line extender amplifier module plugs into the strand-mounted or pedestal-
mounted (bottom) half of the housing through RF connectors on the bottom side of 
the module. 

Line extender amplifier housings and amplifier modules are designed so you can 
orient the amplifier module conveniently for maintenance. The amplifier module is 
reversible since the input and main output ports are located across from each other. 
Therefore, you may orient all of the amplifier housings to open either to the road 
side or to the field side. The line extender amplifier module is then installed in the 
appropriate position, either right side up or upside down. 

Follow these steps to install the line extender amplifier module. 

 

1. 

Perform the following if you are working with an amplifier station where AC 
is present. 
•  Install the AC shunt power directors in the amplifier after you install the 

amplifier module in the housing. 

•  Remove the AC shunt power directors from the amplifier before you remove 

the amplifier module from the housing. 

2. 

Orient the amplifier module so the Input and Output ports (the locations of 
which are stamped on the module cover) are in the proper side for your 
installation. 

3. 

Line up the RF connectors on the line extender amplifier module and the 
housing, then push the line extender amplifier module into the housing.
