1. Introduction: The 4 x 1 Camera Module, P/N 364561-01, allows up to 4 CAModulators to be connected to a single input for distribution and distributes power to the CAModulators with one power supply. The combined signal is the input to an AUX port on either an OnQ Enhanced Video Module or an OnQ Video Engine. The module can be mounted into any OnQ standard Service Center Enclosure. 2. Description: The 4 x 1 Camera Module includes a 4 output x 1 input combiner with “F” style connectors, a power injector for inserting DC power to the CAModulators across coax cable, an AC-DC power supply and a 12” length of mini-coax cable assembly. The module is a half-width module, 4”H x 6.42”W, which is mounted with the standard OnQ tab and plunger arrangement. The module plate is black powder coated steel (see Figure 1). 3. Installation: A. Mounting the module in enclosure (see Figure 2) 1. Align tabs on module with slots on rail of enclosure. 2. Insert tabs by angling module away from the back of the enclosure and sliding forward. 3. Rotate the module and insert fasteners on module into corresponding holes on rail of enclosure. (Plunger must be in the pulled out position for fastener to engage hole.) 4. Push plunger in to lock module in place. Pull on module to assure module is locked properly in place. Note: Recommended location for Video Modules is towards the top of the enclosure to limit RG6 cable in the enclosure. However, modules may be mounted in any available space.

Note: Plan installations such that cable bends are not less than about 2 inch radii.

B. Service Center Connections (See Figure 3) 1. Identify CAModulator cables and route to 4x1 Camera Module. Trim cable to allow loose loop of cable to the connection. Note: IF other modulated sources are being combined on the 4x1 Camera Module a DC Block, P/N 364530-01, should be installed to protect the source.
To TV’s CAModulator
Note: For best performance signal strength of all inputs should be about the same strength. To adjust signal strength, install appropriate DC Blocking Attenuator, P/N 364459-01 or 364459-02. 2. Attach a Series “F” connector to the cable. 3. Connect the cables to the inputs of the module. 4. Connect the output (“TO TV”) of the power injector to the AUX input of the Enhanced Video Module or Video Engine. (This connection requires a customer built or supplied cable.) Note: Cables should all be marked to provide identification. Record room locations for cables from outlets and auxiliary inputs. C. Power Connection
To AUX
Figure 3
1. Connect the power supply to the to the power injector, which is mounted to the back of the module. 2. Dress and secure the cable such that the transformer can be plugged and unplugged from the AC outlet. 3. Plug transformer into a standard 110 VAC outlet. Warning: Damaged cable from the transformer may be hazardous and should be replaced. Caution: Do not connect power to any other device or fitting. Connecting to other fittings may damage attached products. Disclaimer OnQ recommends using RG-6 quad shielded solid copper cable in lieu of copper clad steel, especially with applications that involve distributing DC voltages. Solid copper offers less DC resistance than copper clad steel and thus less of a voltage drop. Many manufactures of 3rd party devices such as satellite receivers’ state NOT to use copper clad steel for this reason. Use of copper clad steel could result in voltage drop significant enough to interfere with a DC voltage dependant device’s operation. As in any RF or RF/DC application, try to avoid excessively long runs.
