Connecting The Receiver - DigitalBox IMPERIAL HD 2 basic Installation Manual

6. CONNECTING THE RECEIVER

GB
The receiver is linked to your satellite antenna through a coaxial cable. Before you can
connect the receiver, you must obtain a coaxial cable if you do not already have one.
Warning!!
Do not connect the receiver to the mains until you have properly connected it to all
other equipment and to the antenna. Doing so may damage the receiver.
Warning!!
Disconnection from the mains: Disconnection from the mains: The standby button on
this device does not fully disconnect the device from the mains. In standby mode, the
device continues to draw power. The only way to fully disconnect the device from the
mains is to unplug it from the wall socket. The wire mesh and the inner conductor of the
coaxial cable conduct electricity during service.
Danger!
Do not connect the receiver to the mains until you have properly connected it to all
other equipment and to the antenna. Otherwise, you run the risk of electrical shock
resulting in personal injury.
6. 1 Installing the LNB cable
(See installation diagram on the following page.)
To fit the F-connector to the coaxial cable, you will need a knife (or ideally, a cable stripper)
and wire cutters.
When stripping the cable, take care not to damage the inner conductor, foil, or wire
braid.
At each end, cut off 8 mm of coaxial cable except for the inner conductor.
Carefully remove 10 mm of the outside insulating layer, exposing the wire braid.
Separate the wire braid and pull it back over the outside insulating layer so that it is
not in contact with the inside conductor.
Cut off the inside insulation with its foil covering, leaving about 2 mm in front of the
wire braid.
Warning!
The wire braid and foil must not be allowed to touch the inside conductor. The foil must
envelope the inside insulation and must not become damaged.
Screw the F-connector onto the pushed-back wire braid as far as the inside insulation.
On the connector end, do not leave any wire braid exposed at the back
Using the wire cutters, cut the inside conductor, leaving no more than 1 mm exposed.
