Installation Instructions
Congratulations on the purchase of your compact high gain digital aerial.
The aerial is ideal for the reception of all available signals in medium and strong signal areas.
The aerial is of particularly robust construction to ensure a long operating life and features:
For optimum results install the aerial using double screened CAI
approved digital coax cable (not supplied) and screened coax
outlets (not supplied). You will need to fit the coax cable with an
F type connector to connect to the aerial balun.
1. Preparing the coax cable downlead: First slide the
rubber weather boot provided over the aerial end of
the cable. Strip the end of the cable as shown in
Fig. 1. Once you have stripped the cable, fold the
braid back over the outer sheath making sure that no
braid is touching the copper core, as this will cause a
short on the cable and you will not get any signal.
Also cut or tear away any foil shielding.
2. Twist the ‘F’ connector supplied on to the prepared
aerial end of the cable and trim the central conductor
see Fig. 2. Once you have installed your aerial and
run and secured the cable prepare the other end for
connection to an outlet or coax plug (not supplied).
For best results the aerial should be mounted on an
outdoor aerial mast and pointed in the direction of
the nearest transmitter* making sure it is in a position
where the transmitter signal will not be obstructed
by nearby trees and buildings. If you are in any doubt
about the direction in which the aerial should be
pointing or the orientation of the aerial (horizontal for
main transmitter, vertical for relay transmitter) check
your neighbours’ aerials.
1. Unfold the booms as shown opposte. To lock the
booms in position turn both of the two knobs on
either side of the aerial in a clockwise direction
through 180˚ making sure that the arrows line
up with the locked symbol - see Fig. 4.
