4. ANTENNA CONNECTION: The transmitter is equipped with a type N connector located at the

rear of the rack. The RF ATSC compliant mask filter and output directional coupler(s) are

provided with the transmitter and are to be located and mounted at the customer discretion.

Pineapple Technology recommends the filter be securely mounted above the transmitter cabinet

but not in a position that could inhibit air circulation from the top of the cabinet. The directional

coupler is usually mounted on the output of the mask filter convenient for connection to the

station antenna transmission line. Two cables have been provided for connection between the

output directional coupler monitor ports and the DXDPRO-10U modulator. Conditions vary from

site to site so some engineering may be required to ensure that the antenna is receiving the

correct amount of power to comply with FCC licenses and to ensure safety from lightning, etc.
