Installation 

Housing 

The amplifier can be installed either into a street cabinet or to outdoor 

environment. The amplifier should be installed in a vertical position so that the 

external cable connectors are underneath. At least 100 mm of free space 

should be left above the amplifier to ensure sufficient cooling air circulation. The 

class of enclosure is IP54. Note, used connector type might have lower IP-

classification than the amplifier housing. 
The cover of the housing is closed by a single bolt. There are no hinges. Open 

cover is to be removed completely. When closing the cover use a PZD 2 

screwdriver to tighten the bolt to a torque of 2.5...3.5 Nm. To ground the 

amplifier housing connect at least 4 mm

2

  grounding wire (Cu) from a proper 

earth to the grounding point. 
NOTE!  Make sure the input attenuator adjustment (Figure  4  pos.  5) is at its 

minimum level before connecting power to the amplifier.

Interfaces 

Underneath the CXE180 amplifier there are three cable connection points: input 

and two outputs. The amount and function of actual connectors varies with the 

chosen configuration. 
All coaxial connection points have a standard PG11 thread and they accept a 

KDC type adapter or connector. Available connector types are F, IEC, PG11, 

5/8” and 3.5/12.
