Unpacking and Installation
Unpacking
Axcera certifies that upon leaving our facility all equipment was undamaged and in
proper working order. It is imperative that all packages be inspected immediately upon
arrival to verify that no damage occurred in transit to the site. Inspect all packages for
exterior damage and make note of any dents, broken seals, or other indications of
improper handling. Carefully open each package and inspect the contents for damage.
Verify that all materials are enclosed as listed on the packing slip. Report any shortages
to Axcera. In the event any in transit damage is discovered, report it to the carrier.
Axcera is not responsible for damage caused by the carrier. If the equipment is not
going to be installed immediately, return all items to their original packaging for safe
storage. Save all packing material for future use. If equipment is ever removed from
the site, the original packaging will ensure its safe transport.

Also needed for FCC compliance operation is an ATSC filter on the broadcast channel
that connects to the output of the CU5 thru CU1800 systems. Space must be provided
for the ATSC filter and in some systems, for the splitter, combiner, and low pass filter
whose dimensions will vary depending on manufacturer and channel. Refer to the
vendor supplied information included with your ATSC filter for specific dimensions. In
the CU250 and higher power systems, a low pass filter is connected after the amplifier
tray(s) and the ATSC mask filter. Space must be provided for the low pass filter whose
dimensions will vary depending on manufacturer and channel. Refer to vendor supplied
information included with your low pass filter for specific dimensions. Make sure that
the space provided for the CX Series equipment is sufficient and includes the splitters,
combiners and external filters. Check that any additional equipment, which is included
