VHF/UHF Set-Back Amplifiers Instruction Manual
PROAMP11 & PROAMP12
PROAMP12R
www.blake-uk.com/amp12r
These general-purpose amplifiers have a wide range of uses in small domestic reception and
distribution systems. The PROAMP11 and PROAMP12 are traditional 1- and 2-way aerial signal
amplifiers. The PROAMP12R is a 2-way amplifier with a 7MHz return path, for use with infrared
remote control extender systems of the type which connect to the RF OUT-2 output of a Sky*
Digibox.
All these amplifiers are compliant with the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU and meet the
harmonised standard EN 303 354 for Class 0. As such they work on ALL current UK DTT channels
including channel 60, are resilient to interference and overloading, and cope with multiple carriers.
In cases of strong LTE interference a separate 4G filter should be fitted. These are supplied free by
at800, or higher performance models can be purchased from www.blake-uk.com. (To pass channels
up to and including channel 59 use proLTE1/59, or if channels 58 and 59 are not required, use
proLTE1/57).
Features:
•
Frequency range 88 - 862 MHz (PROAMP11 & PROAMP12) or 470 - 862 MHz (PROAMP12R).
•
One-way signal booster / line-extender amplifier (PROAMP11).
•
Two-way aerial distribution amplifier (PROAMP12).
•
Two-way return path distribution amplifier for Sky* IR remote control (PROAMP12R).
•
Very high output capability.
•
Built-in power for two IR eyes (PROAMP12R).
•
Channels 61-68 can be used for locally modulated signals.
Fixing:
Fix the amplifier to a sound vertical surface such as a wall, skirting board or equipment mounting
board. Ventilation gaps of at least 50 mm should be left around the front and sides of the unit. More
clearance will be required below the unit to allow access for the signal cables.
Being fully screened, the amplifier will not be affected by proximity to an antenna. However
clearance of not less than 300 mm from the nearest part of the antenna should be observed to avoid
degrading the antenna's performance. Manufacturer's instructions regarding routing of the cable
from the antenna terminal box must be followed if provided.
Do not leave the amplifier resting on a carpet or install it where it may become smothered with
curtains or other soft furnishing fabrics. When installing the amplifier unit in a roof space ensure that
it will not come into contact with thermal insulation material.
Signal Connections:
To preserve RF screening integrity the signal connections to the amplifier should be made using good
quality coaxial cable and connectors. This is particularly important with digital terrestrial TV (DTT) to
minimise the ingress of impulsive electrical interference from home appliances.
•
The use of cable benchmarked under the CAI scheme is recommended.
•
Amplifiers PROAMP11 and PROAMP12 require IEC connectors (IEC 60169-2).
•
Amplifier PROAMP12R requires Type-F connectors (IEC 60169-24).
For both connector types the use of crimp connectors, used in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions will give the best results. The importance of achieving sound braid connections cannot
be over-stressed. F connectors should be tightened with a spanner, not left finger tight.
