Installation Instructions
Congratulations on the purchase of your outdoor digital aerial. The aerial is ideal for the
reception of all available signals in strong and medium strength signal areas.
For optimum results install the aerial using double screened CAI
approved digital coax cable and screened coax outlets. You will need
to fit the coax cable with an F type connector to connect to the
aerial balun.
1. Prepare the Coax Cable: Firstly fit the rubber weather boot
provided, to the aerial end of the cable. Strip the end of the
cable as shown in Fig. 1. Once you have stripped the cable,
twist the braid and pull it back on itself, make sure that no
braid is touching the copper core, this will cause a short on
the cable and you will not get any signal.
2. Fitting the F connector (not supplied): Now, simply twist
on an F connector and trim the central conductor.
Aerial Assembly
First, join both sections of the boom together by loosening
both wing nuts and sliding the sections together.
Ensuring that the square under the coach bolt head locates
in the square cut out of the joining plate. Tighten both wing
nuts to secure.
Loosen the coach bolt and wing nut located towards the
back of the boom and slide the dipole assembly moulding
under the head of the coach bolt as far as it will go, then
tighten the wing nut to secure the dipole in place.
Note:- F socket outlet must face the rear of the aerial.
