1. General descriptions
The CAC-953 system is a maritime antenna specially designed for the vessel, as well as a broadband
amplifier that amplifies and distributes overall band such as radio broadcasting including MF, SW and FM,
TV broadcasting including VHF(H/L) and UHF, and VTR signal.
Especially, it is an omni-directional antenna so that it can safely receive the propagation during sailing and
uses the whip antenna to receive the MF/SW signal. It has a built-in broadband amplifier for
AGC(Automatic Gain Control) to prevent the degradation of the propagation received weakly. In addition, it
does not require any maintenance after installation because it is designed firmly. "If the power is supplied
after installation, all the functions are automatically operated."

4. Installations
4.1 Installation Method
The performance of this system depends on the installation method. To install this system,
make sure that you consider the following;
ཛ Install an antenna in a high position to keep away from the metal obstacles.
ཛྷ Install an amplifier in place where humidity, heat or strong noise do not exist.
ཝ When you connect coaxial cable, you should not bend it extremely. If you bend it unavoidably,
it should be bent more 6 times than a diameter of coaxial cable.
ཞ Connect the external shield wires exactly.
ཟ When you connect coaxial cable to each connector, shorten the length of the insulated conductor
as possible.
འ When coaxial cable is damaged or cut, you should not connect it at random and should use the
standard connector.
ཡ Connect 75 Ohm of noninductive resistance to each port that is not used.
ར Shorten the length of cable as possible.
ལ To install each terminal, keep the maximum radius from noise source because its field intensity
is low.
ཤ Make sure of using the standard coaxial cable.
ཥ If the length of cable is too long or the number of the distribution exceeds the standard limit,
make sure of using the sub amplifier.(For more information, inquire of the manufacturer)

4.2 Connection Method of Antenna Connector & Coaxial Cable(RG-12U)

Figure 2. Connection Method of Antenna Connector & Cable

ཛ Remove the cable skin approximately 35 mm.
ཛྷ Solder the shield wire evenly. At this time, note that the part of the solder can make even.
ཝ As shown in figure, carefully cut the shield wire and insulator in order not to damage the insulated
conductor.
ཞ Separate the connector, insert its cover to the shield wire and turn its plug in the direction of the
arrow firmly.
ཟ Solder through the plug's hole to firmly connect the shield wire with the connector.
Cut the projecting part from the front and solder the connector's hole.

4.3 Connection Method of Out-Let Box & Coaxial Cable(RG-6)

Figure 3. Connection Method of Out-Let Box & Cable

ཛ Remove the cable skin approximately 18mm.

ཛྷ Put the shield over the cable skin.
ཝ Carefully, cut the internal insulator approximately 12 mm.
ཞ Loose the band of the outlet joint, insert it and tighten it as shown in figure.

4.4 Connection Method of U-P-G Connector & 5C-FB Cable

Figure 4. Connection Method of U-P-G Connector & Cable

ཛ Remove 5C-FB cable as shown in figure. Keep the gap of 4mm and 10mm.
The inner center should not be cut.
ཛྷ Fully remove the gold-colored shield to the position c.
ཝ Do not remove the silver foil at the position d.
ཞ First, insert the support ring to cable and then U-P-G connector to PVC. At this time,
insert the insulator to the position e.
ཟ Place the support ring to the position e and tighten it with a nipper as shown in figure.

5. General Cautions
ཛ If the vessel is in port, the duel image can be displayed due to the reflected wave from building,
crane and mountain. This originates from the omni-directional antenna.
ཛྷ If this antenna is too near the transmitting antenna of the certain broadcasting station,
the transmission of other broadcasting stations can be extremely degraded. This originates from
the self-AGC operation of the amplifier that prevents the saturation generated by the
strong signal of the certain broadcasting station.
ཝ Because the short wave has various problems(For example, fading, diffuse reflection, attenuation
and atmospherics), the receiving strength can extremely vary.
ཞ Make sure that you do not change the circuit and components in this system at your own.
ཟ Connect cable exactly, according to the terminal symbol of the drawing.
འ Connect the ground lines in each port to that in cable.
ཡ The reflected wave of the AM wave between transmitting stations is too near compared to that
of TV wave. So, it can be confused with other wave when it is amplified to high gain.
ར When the power lamp indicating the ground failure is on, use the recommended insulation cord
to connect TV.
ལ Adjust the main/sub amplifier of the omni-directional antenna automatically.
ཤ Connect the coaxial cable of the out-let box firmly.
ཥ Carefully connect cable. If a problem occurs in cable, troubleshooting is impossible in fact.
That is why too much time and cost are required to resolve the problems.(Ask manufacturer).
