The amplifier module plugs into the strand-mounted or pedestal-mounted (bottom)
of the housing via RF connectors on the bottom side of the module.
of the housing via RF connectors on the bottom side of the module.
Amplifier housings and amplifier modules are designed so that you can orient the
amplifier module conveniently for maintenance. Because the input and main output
ports are located diagonally across from each other, the amplifier module is
reversible. This allows you to orient all amplifier housings to open either to the road
side or to the field side. The amplifier is then installed in the appropriate position,
either right side up or upside down.

3 Line up the RF connectors on the amplifier module and the housing, and then
push the amplifier module into the housing.
4 Secure the amplifier module to the housing by tightening the four system
amplifier module retainer screws. Tighten slotted head screws to 6 in-lb to 9 in-lb
(0.7 Nm to 1.0 Nm), or cross head screws to 18 in-lb to 20 in-lb (2.0 Nm to 2.25
Nm). See the following illustration for the location of the retainer screws.
