Applications
SLx DigiLink Boosters are suitable for digital TV
signal distribution Ch21-60. if you are affected
by 4G interference in your area you may need
a Ch60 filter (currently available from at800
free of charge).
Installation
Important note: attention is drawn to the
General Safety Precautions Panel above
which contains advice on safe installation
and operation of these products.
Location
Choose a location for the booster from which
it is convenient to run cables from the
antennas and to the system outlets. Typical
examples of suitable locations are a loft space
or a cupboard. In weak signal areas it is best
to keep the aerial cables as short as possible.
Select a cool, dry location to install the
amplifier. This means a location where the
ambient temperature will remain between
-10°C and +40°C, and which is free from risk of
dripping or splashing water.
The fixing location should allow adequate
access to the equipment for wiring and
maintenance. Clearance of at least 25mm
should be allowed around the left hand
side and top of the unit for ventilation. More
clearance will be needed on the other sides
to allow access for cables.
Fixing
The booster should be fixed to a wall or other
suitable hard surface using the keyhole slots
on the back of the housing and suitable
screws and wall plugs, a template is provided
on page 6. The booster should not be left
supported by its own wiring, nor should it be
left resting on a carpet or other insulating
and/or inflammable surfaces.
Signal Connections
Input and output signal connections are
made using IEC coax connectors. Good
quality plugs and digital quality double
screened coaxial cable should be used to
ensure optimum performance from your
booster.
Using the Booster with a Sky™ Digibox
1. When using this booster with a Sky Digibox,
the booster must be fed from the RF OUT-2
socket of the Digibox. However if the RF
Channel is set to 59 or above (68 is usually
the default channel) you will need to reset
it to a channel from 21-58 in the Digibox
Setup Menu.
2. Later Digibox models such as the Sky+HD
2TB are not fitted with an RF OUT2 output
and you will need an I/O converter such as
the Labgear MRX600K to distribute signals
from the Digibox to other TVs.
3. To view satellite RF2 output TVs require an
analogue tuner.
General Safety Precautions
To Prevent Overheating
The recommended clearances and other precautions given in these instructions must be
observed to prevent overheating. In addition, units should not be positioned where they are
likely to become covered by curtains, fabric or insulating material. The amp should not be
left resting on a carpet.
Other precautions
These appliances are not waterproof, they are intended for indoor use only and must not be
positioned where they could be exposed to dripping or splashing water. Objects containing
liquids should not be placed on or near the amplifier.
To prevent fire, make sure the unit and attached cabling is installed well away from naked
flames and other heat sources.
Mains Plug
Your amplifier is supplied with a standard mains plug already fitted, if you need to change
the plug use a competent professional (ELECSA or NICEIC) to make the connection.
If you need to change the fuse use a 3 Amp fuse to BS1362 carrying the ASTA or BSI
approved mark and refit the plastic fuse carrier.
