We recommend using the CA 2441 antenna amplifier if the cable attenuation exceeds 12 or 15 dB, i.e. if the CA 2420 cable is longer than
40 m or the CA 2430 cable is longer than 60 m.
Important Note:
To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the following antenna installation and device-operating configuration must be
satisfied. Only authorized and certified beyerdynamic systems integrators may perform the installation of antennae.
There are no user serviceable parts or processes. Connect the receiving antennae to the antenna inputs (5) A and B. Connect the transmitting
antenna output (12). To maintain compliance with the FCC's RF exposure guidelines, this transmitter and its antenna must maintain a separation
distance of least 20 centimetres from all persons.

Remote Supply of the Antenna Amplifier via the Control Unit**
The antenna amplifiers can be supplied remotely via the MCW-D 200 control unit. Inside of the MCW-D 200 control unit there is a status
LED which can be seen through the ventilating louvres on the rear.
This LED will illuminate green, when the remote supply voltage is 5 V at all antenna sockets.
The LED will flash red, when there is a short-circuit at the antenna socket. In this case check the antenna cables.
The remote supply voltage of 5 V supplies the CA 2441 RT and CA 2441 T antenna amplifiers.
ATTENTION:
• The CA 2441 RT and CA 2441 T antenna amplifiers may be only powered with 5 V DC.
• When you connect a CA 2441 to the TX output of the MCW-D 200 you should use a connecting cable with an attenuation of at
least 10 dB.

**In the USA the use of the CA 2441 RT/T antenna amplifier is prohibited. In Japan the transmitting antenna must not be used
with an antenna amplifier.
