Additional Features

Dual Inputs – With separate inputs for UHF TV
and VHF (FM and or DAB) Radio and a built­in signal combiner your signal distribution
system can easily be expanded to include
high quality radio signals in every room.

SLx Bypass boosters have an IR bypass circuit
and are DigiLink compatible, which means
you have the option to control a digital
satellite receiver via a Link-eye in another
room using the original or a compatible
remote control.

SLx Bypass boosters provide 9V DC on every
outlet to power a Link-eye but also have short­circuit protection to prevent overload. If the
booster detects a short-circuit it will only shut
down the power on the outlet with the short,
all other outlets will continue to function as
normal.

Please Note: To view output from the
satellite RF2 output you will need a TV
with an analogue tuner.

All SLx boosters comply with RED (The Radio
Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU).

Installation

Important note: attention is drawn to the
General Safety Precautions Panel above
which contains advice on safe installation
and operation of these products.

Location

Choose a location for the booster from which
it is convenient to run cables from the
antennas and to the system outlets. Typical
examples of suitable locations are a loft space
or a cupboard. In weak signal areas it is best
to keep the aerial cables as short as possible.
Select a cool, dry location to install the
amplier. This means a location where the
ambient temperature will remain between

-10°C and +40°C, and which is free from risk of
dripping or splashing water.
The xing location should allow adequate
access to the equipment for wiring and
maintenance. Clearance of at least 25mm
should be allowed around the left hand
side and top of the unit for ventilation. More
clearance will be needed on the other sides
to allow access for cables.

Fixing

The booster should be xed to a wall or other
suitable hard surface using the keyhole slots
on the back of the housing and suitable
screws and wall plugs, a template is provided
on page 6. The booster should not be left
supported by its own wiring, nor should it be
left resting on a carpet or other insulating
and/or inammable surfaces.

Signal Connections

Input and output signal connections are
made using IEC coax connectors. Good
quality plugs and digital quality double
screened coaxial cable should be used to
ensure optimum performance from your
booster.

Using the Booster with a Sky™ Digibox

1. When using this booster with a Sky Digibox,
the booster must be fed from the RF OUT-2
socket of the Digibox. However if the RF
Channel is set to 59 or above (68 is usually
the default channel) you will need to reset
it to a channel from 21-58 in the Digibox
Setup Menu.

2. Later Digibox models such as the Sky+HD
2TB are not tted with an RF OUT2 output
and you will need an I/O converter such as
the Labgear MRX600K to distribute signals
from the Digibox to other TVs.

3. To view satellite RF2 output TVs require an
analogue tuner.

General Safety Precautions

To Prevent Overheating

The recommended clearances and other precautions given in these instructions must be
observed to prevent overheating. In addition, units should not be positioned where they are
likely to become covered by curtains, fabric or insulating material. The amp should not be
left resting on a carpet.

Other precautions

These appliances are not waterproof, they are intended for indoor use only and must not be
positioned where they could be exposed to dripping or splashing water. Objects containing
liquids should not be placed on or near the amplier.
To prevent re, make sure the unit and attached cabling is installed well away from naked
ames and other heat sources.

Mains Plug

Your amplier is supplied with a standard mains plug already tted, if you need to change
the plug use a competent professional (ELECSA or NICEIC) to make the connection.
If you need to change the fuse use a 3 Amp fuse to BS1362 carrying the ASTA or BSI
approved mark and ret the plastic fuse carrier.
