in-wall rated coax cable running to a separate cable
wallplate is required for each location served by the splitter.
The 75-ohm grounding block needs to be placed as close
as possible to the point where the second coax cable
enters your home.
NOTE: Be sure to leave enough slack in the coax cable to
create a drip loop so moisture cannot enter your house.
You will also need to seal the coax cable entry point into
your house with an exterior caulk.
NOTE: Use of multiple splitters in a whole-home
installation will seriously degrade signal quality and is
not recommended.
3. Connect your TV's antenna port to the coax wallplate
using coaxial cable.
4. Follow your HDTV's instruction manual to scan for
channels on your TV.
Grounding Block How-To:
Your existing outdoor antenna should already have a properly
installed grounding block in place, but if it must be moved
or is improperly grounded, please follow these important
instructions to ensure your antenna is safely grounded.
1. Connect a #8 aluminum or #10 grounding wire to a
screw terminal on the 75-OHM grounding block.
2. Connect the other end of the wire to an acceptable
building ground location. See examples below.
Examples of acceptable building grounding locations are:
• The building or structure grounding electrode system as
covered in 250.50 in the NEC
• Grounded interior metal water piping system within 5ft.
from its point of entrance to the building
• Grounded, non-flexible metallic power service raceway
• Service equipment enclosure, the grounding electrode
