4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your Televes 5232 SCATV R-TV Separator Socket:
- Preparation: Ensure the main power supply to the installation area is switched off. Prepare the coaxial cable by stripping the outer jacket, exposing the braiding (mesh), and the inner conductor. Ensure the inner conductor length is between 5-15 mm to prevent short circuits.
- Cable Connection: Insert the prepared coaxial cable into the F-connector type guide on the metal mounting frame (refer to Figure 2). Use the quick and secure crimping mechanism to firmly fasten the cable. The flange with 3 rows of 9 mm teeth will ensure perfect mesh fastening.
- Mounting the Frame: Secure the metal mounting frame into the wall box using appropriate screws.
- Attaching the Cover Plate: Once the frame is securely mounted and cables are connected, snap the white plastic cover plate onto the metal frame. Ensure it clicks into place firmly.
- Final Connections: Connect your television to the port labeled 'TV' and your radio to the port labeled 'R' on the cover plate using appropriate coaxial cables.
After installation, restore power and test the signal reception on your connected devices.
