The DA-12, has diode protection on their inputs. When used in conjunction with an
outdoor camera or cable runs that run between buildings it is recommended that a
lightning protection device be added to the cable. If lightning strikes in the area and
causes a large enough voltage spike in the video feed cable, the input diode(s) will

sacrice themselves causing the unit to fail. If the spike is large enough the input video
amplier will be destroyed in addition to the diodes failing. These failures are not covered

under warranty. This unit is designed to act as a protector for the input stage of your re­cording device, but will only offer a limited amount of protection. Installation of a lightning
arrestor will greatly reduce any probability of failure of these units.

Use a seperate 12VDC @ 300 to 800ma power pack instead of an AC power source
for optimum operation.

There are now several cameras on the market that do not have power isolation
transformers in their power inputs. This can cause a serious problem with the DA-12
when a common AC transformer is used. If there is any doubt as to if you camera has this
problem, please DO NOT use the same power pack for the camera and the DA-12. For

any questions about the camera please contact your supplier. For any questions about

the DA-12, please contact us at 845-737-7009 between the hours of 9AM and 5PM EST.

SURGE PROTECTION

This device has each input equipped with a surge

protection device. In order to provide maximum
effectiveness, you must connect the ground screw
located on the rear by the power connector to an
electrical ground or a cold water pipe ground.

THIS IS NOT A LIGHTNING ARRESTOR. IT IS
ONLY RATED FOR +/- 15 KV AIR AND +/- 8 KV
CONTACT.

Due to changes in technology it is recommended that this unit be provided with no more
then 12-18V AC or 12-18V DC where 12-18V DC is preferred

The CCA-200 is a Differential input, high performance 1x2 Color Video cable compensating

Amplier in a compact chassis. A differential input amplier is used to minimize or

eliminate ground loop problems along with adjustments for Gain, HF compensation and
Cable compensation. The CCA-200 includes a 12VDC power pack but to save AC outlets
the CCA-200 also operates from 18-24VAC and can be powered off of the AC Camera’s
power transformer. Designed for +1000 foot to +5000 foot coax cable runs. For less than
1000” use the LDA-100. For 1x1 operation use only the output needed and simply leave the
unused one unterminated.

Please take the time to completely read this manual before attempting to install and align
the CCA-200.
