Dual-mode 4-way UHF amplier Instrucon Manual
The versale amplier is an addion to the PROcepon range of UHF mul-way distribuon ampliers.
The unit has two modes of operaon, allowing it to be used either as a straight forward mul-way
aerial amplier for o-air signal distribuon, or as a return path amplier for distribuon of the UHF
loop-through output of a Sky* receiver. In the laer mode full support is provided for remote infrared
receivers ( eyes ). The use of F connectors makes the amplier easy to use and helps to ensure good
system screening.
All these ampliers are compliant with the Radio Equipment Direcve 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 mulple carriers. In
cases of strong LTE interference a separate 4G lter should be ed. 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:
• Dual-mode operaon: can operate as an aerial amplier, or as a return-path amplier with Sky*
remote control facilies.
• Flexible powering opons: 5 - 15 V (local or remote) for aerial-amplier mode; 9 V from Sky*
receiver for return-path mode.
• Automac mode selecon. 2-colour LED indicates operang mode.
• Excellent low noise gure and output capability.
• Input ltered below 470 MHz to reduce risk of interference problems from CB, private mobile
radio, TETRA, etc.
• Suitable for both digital and analogue applicaons, fully DTT-compable.
• Channels 61-68 can be used for locally modulated signals.
Applicaon guide:
See applicaon example diagrams on page 2.
Mode 1 aerial amplier mode (green LED): in this mode the unit funcons as a straighorward 4-way
UHF amplier. The input will usually come directly from the UHF antenna. Line-power (5 - 15 V DC) can
be supplied via any of the four outputs. Alternavely, if a mains supply is available near the amplier, a
local AC/DC mains power adaptor may be used instead of line-powering. In Mode 1 no power is passed
to unpowered outputs and the return-path amplier funcon is completely disabled.
Mode 2 return-path mode (orange LED): this mode is automacally enabled when the amplier is
powered via its input. Usually the input will be fed directly from the second RF output (RF OUT-2) of a
Sky Digibox or Sky+* receiver or a Sky Digibox with an I/O port# , which should have its 9 V powering
enabled (see over). In return-path mode power is present at all outputs for powering remote infrared
receiver eyes, such as the PROcepon proSAT1EYE. Infrared receiver power is individually short-circuit
protected, so that a DC short at any output will not aect operaon of remote control via the other
outputs.
The relavely low forward gain of the amplier (4 dB) is sucient to compensate for addional
downlead cable losses in most systems, whilst avoiding intermodulaon and other overload problems
which easily result from the use of excessive gain. Where more gain is needed in aerial-amplier mode
(for example in installaons with very long cable runs, or in weak signal areas) the proMHD14M or
proMHD14V 4-way masthead ampliers should be considered instead (these alternave products do
not provide return-path capability).
