Using a sharp knife carefully remove 20mm of the outer
plastic of the cable, ensuring not to cut the shield
braiding below. Take half the braiding to each side and
twist, creating two tails.
Remove the metal foil to expose the insulator below.
With your knife trim the insulator to about 2-3mm from
the base of the exposed cable, ensuring not to cut the
inner cable.
Ensure that none of the braids from the outer tails are
loose. Pull the tails down and twist them round the
outer insulator in a ‘helter-skelter’formation.
Twist the connector down so it bites onto the braiding
and outer insulator. Check that there is no connection
between the inner core and braiding and tighten until
the inner insulator is in line with the inside hole
Trim any excess braiding with a sharp knife and tightly
wrap round the edge with electrical insulation tape. For
outdoor use (ie satellite dish/masthead amp) it is
recommended that you dip the connector into
Vaseline/silicon grease for waterproofing.

IR Control
In your remote rooms you can control your
centrally located equipment over the coaxial
cable using the Global tvLINK (Sky only) or
the Labgear HandyLink (all conventional IR
devices).
The HandyLink box goes at your main
location and is the last item before you
connect back to the Up-Link (as Page 1). If you are using tvLINK your Skybox RF2 Out
connects directly to the Up-Link.
Both tvLINK and HandyLink IR Sensor are connected directly to the TV wall outlet before
any other equipment (shown above with Diplex and standard TV outlets).
You must use non-isolated outlets.
Use without Sky
You can distribute Cable TV in the same way as Sky except that it is recommended that
you run your cable feed directly to the decoder For IR control use HandyLink IR.
If there is no equipment at the main location you must ensure that the switch on the front
of the unit is set to UHF & CCTV or you will not receive any TV pictures to the remote
locations.

Configuration for two-four Sky, Sky+ or Sky HD decoders
When you intend to have two (or more) main locations for Sky, Sky+ or Sky HD decoders
you need to run a total of four satellite grade CT100 aerial cables to each main location.
You will be able to control up to four Sky, Sky+ or Sky HD decoders using the tvLINKS
and Global Super Plus Combiner. These use the coaxial cable eliminating the need for
additional cables and control systems.
