D. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Where fitted remove the frontplate fixing screws
from the back of the product.

2. Ensure that the mounting box is firmly secured and
there is sufficient coaxial downlead protruding for
connection.

3. Cables should be cut to a length, so that they can
be routed within the mounting box to avoid sharp
bends.

A. RECOMMENDED BOXES

Suitable for mounting in Flush or Surface boxes
with a minimum depth of 25mm

B. GENERAL

1.

When tightening the screening braid clamps ensure that
the cable is firmly gripped and that the inner insulation is
not squashed flat beyond a slight oval shape.

2. Non-isolated Outlets are intended direct
connection to the Aerial download.

3. Isolated Outlets provide safety isolation to 2kV
between the Aerial lead and coaxial socket. They
are not suitable for use in systems where DC signals
are passed through the socket (e.g. where
masthead/ headend equipment is controlled by
receiver/ decoder equipment).

4. Diplexer Outlets separate the TV and FM band
signals from systems where both signals are
combined on a single aerial downlead.

circuits (Figure 2).

3. Carefully push the wired unit back into the mounting
box, ensuring that the coaxial cable does not have
any sharp bends or is trapped or pinched.

4. Locate and tighten the fixing screws. Do not
over tighten the screws, to do so may damage
the frontplate or screw threads.

LOGIC PLUS PRODUCTS

1. The Single TV/FM sockets are fitted with a cable
clamp that can be fixed on either side of the
product.

Note: To change the position of the cable
clamp, remove the screw and slide the clamp off
the lower edge of the product. The clamp and
screw can then be re-assembled on the
opposite side.

2. Carefully strip the end of the coaxial cable to
the dimensions shown in figures 4 or 5 according
to the type of product being installed.

Fold the exposed braid back over the outside
insulation sheath and carefully trimming off the
excess braid so that there are no stray or
excessively long strands.

3. Fully insert the exposed inner core of the cable
into the rectangular hole marked CENTRE
CORE (Figure 6).

4. Bend the cable down and to the side, sliding it
under the cable clamp without disturbing the
earth braid (Figure 7) and avoiding stray strands
that may cause a short circuit.

5. Before tightening the clamp, ensure the cable
can be routed as intended, and that any stray or
loose strands are tucked under the clamp. The
clamp should then be tightened (Figure 8) so
that the cable is firmly gripped, without
squashing the inner insulation beyond a slight
oval shape.

6. Carefully push the wired unit back into the
mounting box, ensuring that the cable does not
have sharp bends or is trapped or pinched.

7. Locate and tighten the frontplate fixing screws.
Do not over tighten the screws, to do so may
