Labgear LDL212R Installations And Specifications

Introduction
The name Labgear has been associated with
quality signal distribution since 1932 and the
current range of amplifiers continues to
uphold that tradition. All LDL amps can carry
analogue and digital TV and radio, DAB,
Freeview, DVB-T and DVB-T2 HD TV signals and have:
• More efficient Switch-Mode Power Supplies
which run cooler
• Improved gain flatness delivering a better
balance across the performance range
• Lower noise figure for optimised signal quality
• Greater signal handling capacity to cope
with more channels
• Better impedance matching and therefore improved
signal transfer from amp to cable
• Labgear amplifiers use F-type coaxial connectors for better matching and security
These fully screened 12 and 16 way aerial amplifiers feature separate inputs for VHF (Band III TV,
FM and DAB digital radio) and UHF (Freeview, DVB-T and DVB-T2 HD digital TV). They also have
an IR return path to enable channel changing from remote locations and are compatible with
Labgear and other Digilink remote control systems.
This makes them ideal for use in Sky™ digital satellite home installations, where the output from a
digibox can be distributed to several rooms with the capability for full remote control of the Sky™
box from these rooms.
The LDL amplifiers are compliant with the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU and meet
harmonised standard EN 303 354 for product Type D Class 0, they are suitable for digital TV signal
distribution of Ch21-60 from a receiver or from an aerial fitted with a 4G
filter in the UK and EIRE.
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 amplifier.
To prevent fire, make sure the unit and attached cabling is installed well away from
naked flames.
Mains Plug
Your amplifier is supplied with a standard mains plug already fitted, 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 refit the plastic fuse carrier.
