4. Product Overview
The EDISION CAM-100 is a compact broadband amplifier designed for UHF signals. It features adjustable gain and a built-in 5G LTE filter.
The EDISION CAM-100 broadband amplifier, shown with its power plug, features a single UHF input, adjustable gain from 18-34dB, and two output ports (one main, one -20dB test port). It includes 5G LTE protection and operates within the UHF 470-694MHz frequency range.

5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install your EDISION CAM-100 amplifier:
- Mounting: Choose a suitable indoor location for the amplifier, away from direct heat or moisture. Use the keyhole slots on the back of the unit to securely mount it to a wall or flat surface.
- Antenna Connection: Connect your outdoor UHF antenna cable to the UHF IN port on the amplifier. Ensure the connection is secure.
- TV Connections: Connect your television(s) to the OUT port(s) of the amplifier using coaxial cables. The main output provides the amplified signal. There is also a -20dB TEST port for signal measurement or connecting a single device with reduced signal.
- Power Connection: Plug the amplifier's power cord into a standard AC 100-240V, 50/60Hz electrical outlet. The power indicator LED on the front of the unit should illuminate.
- Adjust Gain: Turn the adjustable gain knob (labeled UHF dB) to set the desired amplification level. Start with a lower setting and gradually increase it until optimal signal quality is achieved on your television.

6. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the EDISION CAM-100 operates continuously when powered. The primary operational adjustment is the gain control.
- Power Indicator: A green LED on the front panel indicates that the amplifier is receiving power and is operational.
- Gain Adjustment: Use the rotary knob to adjust the UHF signal gain between 18dB and 34dB. Adjust this setting while monitoring your TV's signal quality meter (if available) or picture quality. The goal is to achieve a strong, stable signal without over-amplification, which can cause distortion.
- Test Output: The -20dB TEST output provides a reduced signal level, useful for connecting a single TV or for signal strength measurements without affecting the main output.
7. Maintenance
The EDISION CAM-100 requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-term performance.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Ventilation: Ensure that the ventilation slots on the device are not obstructed to prevent overheating.
- Connections: Occasionally check all cable connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
8. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your EDISION CAM-100, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power indicator light | No power to the unit | Check power cord connection and wall outlet. Ensure the outlet is live. |
| No signal or weak signal on TV |
|
|
| Distorted picture or sound | Signal over-amplification or interference | Reduce the gain setting. Ensure the 5G LTE filter is effective; if interference persists, check for external sources. |
