If the unit 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 local 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 starBOX should comply with
BS 7671 (IEE wiring regulations) and, where relevant, Part P of the building
regulations. StarBOXes 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.
System equipotential bonding
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. (Isolated outlet plates cannot be used with
starBOX units for functional reasons.) Although not mandatory in single
households, the use of system earth bonding is strongly recommended for all
installations. All starBOXes are provided with an earth terminal. A bonding
conductor of 4 mm² should be provided, connected to the main earth terminal of
the electrical installation which supplies the unit. Bonding may be effected using
PRO
ception proBAR5 or proBAR8 equipotential bonding bars.
Users equipment connections
Master location
Figs. 2, 3
and

show typical wiring diagrams for the users equipment at the
master location. Some points to note are:
n
When using Sky*-only remote control from the extension rooms, the RETURN
connection to the master outlet plate must come directly from RF OUT-2 of the
Sky receiver (Fig. 2). RF OUT-1 should be connected to the local main TV. The
starBOX provides 9 V DC power for remote receiver eyes on all extension
room outputs. 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.
n
When using the starLINK remote control system the UHF RETURN connection
must be fed from the LINE OUT connector of the proSTL1BASE base unit. The
starLINK system may be used with a wide variety of equipment, including Sky*
and Freeview
receiver boxes, most VCRs, DVD players, etc. (
Figs. 3 & 4
). Full
installation instructions for the starLINK system are contained in the instructions
supplied with the proSTL1KIT product.
n
TV signals (UHF) will only be available in the extension rooms if a feed is
provided to the UHF RETURN connection (see explanation above in the
Principles section). If no remote control extender system is to be used, a two-
way passive splitter should be employed if necessary to split the RF output
from the final item in the UHF loop-through chain, with one leg of the splitter
connected to the main TV and the other leg feeding UHF RETURN.
