11. Make Battery Sense Wire Kit connections. See the battery diagrams that came with the sense wire kit or reference the
DSM3 Series Technical Manual (Alpha p/n 745-814-B8).
12. Connect the RF drop and make front panel connections as shown in Fig. 10 for the DSM3, or Fig. 11 for the DSM3x.
The DOCSIS specification for downstream power level is ± 15 dBmV. However, for optimal performance, set the level
as close to 0 dBmV as possible. RF attenuators or cable simulators may be required to obtain optimal downstream and
upstream RF levels.
