The Winegard preamplifier consist of 3 parts. The mast mounted portion called the preamplifier, the preamplifier power supply and power injector. The preamplifier mounts near the antenna on the pipe just below the antenna while the power supply/injector are generally located indoors. Don't be confused, the power injector is not a 2 way signal splitter even though it looks like one.
The EZ HD with Mast Mounted Preamplifier
The preamplifier receives the TV signal directly from the EZ HD antenna through a short length of coax cable connected from the antenna output to the preamplifier input labeled ANT IN. The down lead coax cable is then connected to the preamplifier output labeled To Power Supply. The preamplifier output down lead coax cable is then routed from the preamplifier into your home and ran directly to the power injector connection labeled ANT. A cable is then ran from the power injector output connection labeled TV to the TV or converter box input. At this point on the TV output from the power injector a signal splitter may be added and coax can be ran to multiple TV locations allowing multiple TV use of the antenna.
Preamplifier Power Injector
Preamplifier Power Supply
The last connection is to run coax cable from the black power supply to the PWR IN connection on the power injector. Included with every Winegard preamplifier is a 6 foot coax cable that can be used for this purpose. However, if an electrical outlet is not convenient at the best location for the power injector a coax cable of up to 200 feet can be connected between the power supply and the power injector.
The Winegard preamplifier units come complete with
1) Mast mounted preamplifier
1) Power Injector
1) Power supply
1) 6 foot coax cable
1) U bolt mounting assembly and zip strap mount.

Winegard HDA 100 and 200 Distribution Amplifiers
The Winegard distribution amplifier consist of 3 parts. The amplifier, the power supply and the power injector. The purpose of a distribution amplifier is to amplify (boost) the incoming TV signal to compensate for the signal loss that will occur due to long coax cable runs and or the use of signal splitter.
Winegard HDA Series Distribution Amplifier
The down lead coax cable from the antenna is connected to the HDA amplifier input connection labeled RF IN. Next run coax cable from the RF OUT connection on the amplifier to the signal splitter. Now run coax cable from the black power supply to the PWR IN connection on the amplifier. The black power supply is then plugged into an electrical outlet to power the amplifier. The coax cable between the black power supply and amplifier can be as long as 200 feet. Complete installation instructions are included with each unit.
