EDISION OMS-3 3-Way Outdoor Mast Splitter

1. Kupu Whakataki

The EDISION OMS-3 is a high-performance 3-way outdoor mast splitter designed to distribute terrestrial, satellite, and cable TV signals. This device allows a single input signal to be split into three output signals, making it suitable for various antenna and satellite installations. Its robust construction and wide frequency range ensure reliable signal distribution in outdoor environments.

This manual provides essential information for the safe and correct installation, operation, and maintenance of your EDISION OMS-3 splitter. Please read it thoroughly before proceeding with installation.

2. Nga korero haumaru

• Tāutatanga o waho: This device is designed for outdoor use. Ensure all connections are properly sealed against moisture to prevent damage.
• Tuku Hiko: The splitter supports DC pass-through on all outputs. Ensure that any connected devices requiring power over the coaxial cable (e.g., LNBs) are compatible and correctly configured.
• Hononga taura: Use high-quality F-connectors and coaxial cables to minimize signal loss and ensure optimal performance.
• Whakapiki: Securely mount the splitter to a mast or wall using the provided accessories to prevent it from falling or being damaged by wind.
• Parenga Uira: Consider installing appropriate lightning protection for your antenna system, especially in outdoor installations.

5. Tatūnga me te Tāuta

Follow these steps for proper installation of your EDISION OMS-3 splitter:

5.1. Mounting the Enclosure

1. Kōwhiri Tauwāhi: Select a suitable outdoor location, preferably near your antenna mast or entry point for cables, ensuring it is easily accessible for connections but protected from direct impact.
2. Whakauranga Mast:
   • Open the blue outdoor enclosure.
   • Position the enclosure against the mast.
   • Thread the provided plastic mounting strap through the designated slots on the back of the enclosure.
   • Securely fasten the strap around the mast, ensuring the enclosure is stable.
3. Whakapiki taiepa:
   • Open the blue outdoor enclosure.
   • Mark the positions for drilling holes using the mounting points on the back of the enclosure as a template.
   • Drill holes in the wall and insert the wall plugs.
   • Align the enclosure with the drilled holes and secure it with the provided screws.

5.2. Te hono i nga Tauera

1. Hononga Whakauru: Connect the coaxial cable from your antenna or satellite dish to the F-connector labeled "IN" on the splitter unit. Ensure the connection is tight.
2. Hononga Huaputa: Connect the coaxial cables leading to your televisions, radios, or satellite receivers to the three F-connectors labeled "OUT" on the splitter unit. Ensure all connections are tight.
3. parenga huarere: After making all connections, ensure the outdoor enclosure is securely closed to protect the splitter and connections from moisture and dust.

6. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere

The EDISION OMS-3 is a passive device and does not require any specific operational steps beyond proper installation. Once connected, it will automatically distribute the incoming signal to the connected output devices.

• Tohaina Tohu: The splitter divides the input signal into three equal parts, sending them to the connected devices.
• DC Pass-Through: The splitter allows DC voltage to pass from any output port back to the input port. This feature is essential for powering devices like LNBs (Low-Noise Block downconverters) on satellite dishes, which receive power from the connected satellite receiver.

7. Te Raru

If you experience issues with your signal, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Kaore he tohu, he tohu ngoikore ranei:
  • Check all F-connections to ensure they are tight and secure. Loose connections can cause significant signal loss.
  • Inspect coaxial cables for any damage (kinks, cuts, frayed shielding). Replace damaged cables.
  • Verify that your antenna or satellite dish is correctly aligned and free from obstructions.
  • Ensure that the DC pass-through is functioning correctly if you are powering an LNB. Check the power settings on your satellite receiver.
  • Consider the signal strength at the input. If the input signal is already weak, splitting it further will reduce it. An amplifier might be needed before the splitter in such cases.
• Waitohu Mokowhiti:
  • This can often be caused by loose connections or poor weatherproofing allowing moisture ingress. Re-tighten connections and ensure the outdoor case is sealed.

8. Tiaki

The EDISION OMS-3 splitter requires minimal maintenance:

• Tirohanga Ia Wa: Annually inspect the outdoor enclosure and cable connections for any signs of wear, damage, or moisture ingress.
• Te horoi: If necessary, gently clean the exterior of the enclosure with a damp kakahu. Kaua e whakamahi i nga matū kino me nga horoi horoi.
• Taki Hononga: Periodically check that all F-connectors remain tight and secure.
