This unit connects to the I/O port on the Sky receiver and replaces the RF distribution and remote control functions previously available from the RF - OUT 1 and RF - OUT 2 connectors. Additional features ■ RF loop-through for Freeview, etc., replaces Sky ANT - IN connector. ■ Modulator output coverage: RF channels 21 – 60. Simple RF channel setting using the Sky box Setup menu. ■ Remote control capability on both RF outputs – supports up to two remote outlets with IR ‘eyes’, (where no local RF output is required). ■ A third output location can be supported by using a splitter (see text). ■ External power supply option allows construction of larger systems. ■ 3-colour power status LED. Location The modulator can be located in any convenient position close to the Sky receiver box and does not require fixing. Clearance of at least 25 mm should be allowed around the front and sides of unit for ventilation. Avoid positioning the modulator on top of a stack of other equipment as this may result in overheating. The fixing lugs may be used if desired to secure the unit to a cabinet etc. (screws not supplied). Power supply and indicator The modulator is powered from the associated Sky receiver via the I/O link cable. No separate power supply unit is required unless a larger distribution system (usually 4 or more output locations) is to be installed. For larger systems, where a line-powered distribution amplifier such as the proAMP104X or proMHD14R is used, an external proPSA123 or proPSA125 power unit must be connected to the modulator. If a locally powered distribution amplifier is used (proAMP-R series or proAMP310X with local PSU) the modulator will not require a separate power unit. The power status LED on the front of the unit works as follows: LED colour Sky box power External PSU Status Green ON OFF or not installed Normal condition for system with no external power unit. Orange ON ON Normal condition for system with external power unit. Red OFF ON Sky box powered down or booting up. Invalid or fault condition if persistent. PROception Page 4 Page 1 PD2011-9050-01

Using This Product with the New Sky Boxes SUPPLEMENTARY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Introducing the PROception proLINK22 ‘RF replicator’ New Sky set-top boxes such as the DRX595 and DRX890W do not have the familiar aerial input, RF-1 and RF-2 connectors. These RF-loop- through facilities have been replaced with the new ‘I/O PORT’ – a small round connector (10- pin mini-DIN) which allows an external ‘RF replicator’ (modulator) unit to provide similar distribution functions. Features of the PROception proLINK22 RF Replicator ■ Flying lead plugs directly into the Sky I/O port. ■ Replaces the ‘missing’ RF facilities on new-style Sky boxes. ■ Compatible with all PROception return-path and dual-mode amplifiers (listed above). ■ RF loop-through for Freeview and VHF radio (replaces Sky AERIAL IN connector). ■ Integral modulator, output channel 21-60, simple to configure in Sky menu. ■ Remote control capability on both RF outputs, supports two remote outlets with IR eyes (where no local RF output is required). ■ External power supply option for larger systems using proAMP104X, proAMP310X and proMHD14R amplifiers. How to use the PROception proLINK22 This instruction sheet should be read in conjunction with the instruction leaflets for the return-path amplifier and for the proLINK22. The following notes are a quick guide. ■ Simply plug the flying lead into the I/O port of the Sky box. ■ Enable power and set the desired modulator RF channel using Sky Setup menu (key SERVICES, 0, 0, 1, SELECT). ■ Where the instructions for the return-path or dual-mode amplifier show a connection to RF OUT-2 of a Sky box, connect to an RF output of the proLINK22 instead. ■ Where necessary*, connect a mains power unit type proPSA125 to the proLINK22. * See notes overleaf to determine whether an external power unit is required.
