Using remote control
The proAMP12R is compatible with the
PRO
ception proSAT1EYE and other Sky* remote con-
trol extenders. To use the remote control feature it is essential that the amplifier input is fed
directly from the RF OUT-2 connector of the Sky receiver. The amplifier provides 9 V DC
power for up to two remote receiver eyes. Note that some Sky receivers require their RF
OUT-2 power option to be enabled in order for remote control extension to work. On the Sky
handset press SERVICES, 4, 0, 1, SELECT, then select the SECOND OUTLET POWER SUPPLY
option. Set this to be ON, SAVE SETTINGS and BACK UP out of the menu.
As always with wired remote extender systems, it is essential to maintain DC continuity through
the coaxial cabling between the amplifier output(s) and the IR receiver equipment in the remote
room(s). For this reason isolated outlet plates cannot be used in the remote rooms and all
connections must be securely clamped, crimped or soldered. When troubleshooting remote
control problems, the first step should be to check for the presence of approximately 9 V DC on
the cable in the remote room.
Mains supply connection and safety notes
The amplifier is supplied with a fitted mains plug and may be plugged directly into a 13 A
(BS 1363) socket outlet. If socket outlets of a different type are in use, please refer to the safety
instructions on page 4. The mains plug should remain readily accessible to permit disconnection
of the unit from the supply. Alternatively the plug may be cut off and the amplifier wired into a
readily accessible fused connection unit, fitted with an approved 3 A fuse to BS 1362. This
method of connection is recommended for permanent distribution system applications, since it
reduces the risk of tampering and accidental disconnection.
If the amplifier is not connected to the mains using the fused plug supplied, or a fused connection
unit, it must be protected by means of a fuse or MCB at the final distribution board of rating not
exceeding 6 A. A readily accessible isolating switch should be provided to allow the unit to be
disconnected from the supply when necessary. Any fixed wiring installed to supply power to this
power unit should comply with BS 7671 (IEE wiring regulations) and, where relevant, Part P of
the building regulations.
The amplifiers are of Class 2 construction and do not require a protective earth connection.
This does not obviate the need to provide a circuit protective (earth) conductor in the supply
wiring, as required by BS 7671.
Distribution systems supplying signals to more than one household should comply with the
safety requirements of BS EN 60728-11. This effectively requires earthed equipotential bonding
of the system. (The use of isolated outlet plates is no longer recommended since they compromise
screening integrity and allow ingress of interference.) Bonding may be effected by using a
PRO
ception proBAR5 equipotential bonding bar.
