If the coax panel is not located at the media center, you may add a  
model 2010 remote power wall plate at the media center and connect  
the 3308 and 2010 with a single coax cable. The model 2010 will power  
the 3308, drive the IR emitters and deliver any modulator signals to the  
3308. In addition, the 2010 has connectors for 2 IR emitters. (The  
model 2174 IR expansion panel will expand each of these ports to  
drive up to 4 IR emitters.)  
IR Repeating System  
With the model 3308, you can also control your video devices from any  
room in the house. Any or all 8 outputs may be connected to model  
2100A wall plates. The wall plates interface with a variety of industry  
standard IR targets. Direct your IR remote control at the IR target and  
the 2173 IR emitter will repeat the IR signals in the media center.

Normally, the IR emitters are also connected to Model 2100A wall  
plates. But, if the coax panel is located in the media center, you may  
choose to connect the emitters to a model 2184 IR breakout panel.  
Both examples are shown below. The model 2184 plugs directly into  
the 3308, replacing the power adaptor cable. The 2184 can drive up to  
4 IR emitters.

Mounting the 3308  
Expanding the 3308:  
The model 3308 should be mounted in a location that is safe and dry. The model 3308 is  
small enough to be mounted inside a stud wall. Alternatively, the 3308 may be mounted  
inside a ChannelPlus Integrated Home Network enclosure.  
CATV/Ant  
Up to 64 TV outlets  
You may connect up to 8 more  
3308s to the outputs of a ‘master’  
3308, for a total of 64 TV outlets.  
The longest recommended coax  
run is 150 feet (includes coax from  
master to secondary unit and from  
secondary unit to TV).

All 3308s must be powered individually.  
Things to watch for:  
Each 3308 can have its’ own ‘zoned’ IR control and local modulators.  
(Modulators connected to a secondary 3308 will be viewable only on  
those 8 TVs. IR control signals will be confined to only that 3308.)  
Herringbone interference on modulator channel (diagonal lines) ...  
You may have chosen a channel number that is not completely vacant. Distant UHF stations  
may not be watchable, but will cause interference if you try to try to create a new channel at the  
same frequency. Also, cable companies often have extra signals where there should be none.  
Try moving the modulator channel to another number. You may have to add a low pass filter to  
remove cable company noise. If a filter does not work, try adding a DC-block to remove  
common mode interference.  
Circuit Breaker  
Herringbone interference on many channels, including modulator  
channels (disappears when you remove the CATV/Ant feed) … The RF amplifier can be  
overloaded by abnormally strong signals. Often, you can cure the problem with a simple  
attenuator. Use a variable attenuator and try to find a signal level where the interference just  
disappears. Sometimes, the problem is one station that is far stronger than the rest. In this  
case, attenuating all of the signals with a simple attenuator will cause the desired stations to be  
weak (snowy). You must reduce the strength of only the offending station. A common FM trap  
will help if the problem is a nearby FM tower. If the problem is a nearby TV station, often the  
station management can provide suitable filters.  
The model 2010 and 3308 have built-in circuit breakers. If any of these LEDs are not  
lit, reset the circuit breaker by disconnecting and reconnecting the power supply. If  
the system does not reset, look for an installation error.

Infrared Remote Control Problems … The most common cause of IR problems are:  
IR emitter not located directly above sensor on the video device. Reposition the IR emitter  
TV is radiating electrical noise. Reposition IR target.

NOTE:  
We recommend using only RG-6 coax when wiring a house. Why? Although good RG-59 has  
only slightly more loss than RG-6, it is harder to find good RG-59. RG-6 is a little more  
expensive and a little harder to run (because it is thicker). But you will avoid surprises if you  
stick to RG-6.
