Model 975A AM/FM Distribution Amplifier

Installation Instructions

The Model 975 is a 12-volt powered AM/FM antenna amplifier designed to drive car radio antenna distrib -

tion systems. It also accepts the RF o tp t of one or more CD changers. Yo r Car RF system can be expanded

to serve p to 32 radios sing A dio A thority® KIT17s. Each KIT17 contains a 4-way tap and Motorola

cables for 4 radios. If yo need to distrib te RF to more than 32 radios, call A dio A thority at 800-322-8346

or 859-233-4599.

Installation

Mo nt the Model 975A close to the radios and switching system and connect as shown in Fig re 1. Place each

4-way tap within 2 to 3 feet of the radios it serves. Connect the distrib tion system as shown in Fig re 2,

tightening all F-connectors sec rely. Be s re to add the termination pl g to the last tap in the system as

shown. Caution: Prevent n sed Motorola cables from contacting live cond ctors inside the display.

In Access™ switching systems, power the Model 975A from the Access™ System B s like any other Access EZ™

mod le.

In non-Access™ System applications, pl g a length of Access™ System B s

cable into the System B s port. Connect the red wire to a so rce of 12V (+)

DC and c t off the other three wires (gro nd is s pplied thro gh radios).

An indoor antenna will s ffice for

inp t to the Model 975A in most cases.

Use either the incl ded wire antenna

or a car antenna. Pl g the antenna

directly into the antenna jack of the

Model 975A as shown in Fig re 1. If

an indoor antenna prod ces too little

FM signal or too m ch m ltipath

distortion, an o tdoor antenna may be

desired. Use an omnidirectional FM

antenna if the only problem is a weak

FM signal, or se a directional FM or

VHF TV antenna to improve

m ltipath problems. Bring the 75-ohm

downlead from the o tdoor antenna

into the b ilding via a well-gro nded

lightning arrestor as shown in Fig re

2. Install a Motorola pl g on the cable

going to the Model 975A’s antenna

jack or se an F-to-Motorola adapter.

NOTE: O tdoor antennas will red ce

AM performance.
