Amplifier connections

You will need to fit coax plugs to each of the leads running to TV outlets so 

that they can be connected to the SLx Amplifier. 

1. 

Unscrew coax plug housing and slide cap over cable.

2.

 Strip 23mm of cable outer sheath. Gather copper braid, wrap around  

  outer sheath, slide claw over braid and crimp.

3.

 Strip 18mm of inner insulation to leave 5mm exposed.

4.

 Undo screw on plug/clamp, slide clamp over inner wire & tighten screw.  

5.

 Reassemble plug and trim inner wire flush with plug.

Next run the cables from the amplifier to the surface outlet positions, if 

drilling through walls be careful to avoid pipes and other cables. Use the cable 

clips supplied to secure cables. Wire the surface outlets as shown below and 

use the screws supplied to fix to a suitable surface such as a skirting board.

1. 

Strip 24mm of the outer sheath, pull back braid  and tear off or cut off foil.

2. 

Twist braid together and wrap around inner insulation  as shown, strip  

  12mm from inner insulation to expose  central conductor.

3

. Loosen terminal and saddle clamp screws and  insert cable as shown in  

  Fig. 3. Tighten all screws and trim away any loose strands of braid.

3.  For TVs situated in remote rooms  

  connect the cable running to the  

  remote coax outlet to any of the  

  outputs 1, 2, 3, 4 on your SLx Amplifier.
4.  Connect one end of a TV aerial flylead  

  to the surface socket in the remote  

  room and connect this via one of the  

  SLx links supplied to the ANTENNA IN  

  socket on your TV. You will need 

  to install the SLx Link at your remote  

  TV if you wish to control the satellite  

  receiver in your main room from this 

 location.
