SAFETY FIRST - PLEASE READ ■ Ladder safety - always read and follow the manufacturer’s instruction label affixed to the ladder. ■ When working on installations outside, beware of overhead power lines. ■ Observe safe working practices, tread carefully and ensure adequate lighting is available in loft or roof space. ■ To avoid injury always route cables or wiring carefully. ■ Always follow manufacturer’s operating and safety instructions before using tools and/or equipment. ■ Before starting installation check structure is sound and check for hidden electrical wiring or plumbing.
TYPICAL AERIAL MOUNTING APPLICATION EXAMPLES WALL AND LOFT FIXING KITS ARE AVAILABLE FROM WILKINSON (INCLUDES 10M COAXIAL CABLE)
Wall mounted
Loft mounted
Chimney mounted
If in doubt consult a qualified electrician or professional aerial installer
You should mount your aerial as high as possible on either a chimney, on an external wall, or in the loft. Remember, that in general, TV pictures improve with height and the less obstructions between the aerial and the transmitter the better. Now point your aerial in the direction of the transmitter by looking at neighbours aerials and copy the direction they are pointing. If you decide to fit the aerial in your loft, special care should be taken when walking in the roof space.
POLARISATION Horizontal mounting recommended for Main TV transmitters
Tip: Look at outdoor aerials in your area to see which direction to point your aerial for best reception.
Vertical mounting recommended for Relay TV transmitters
ALIGNING YOUR AERIAL Turn on your TV set. Refer to manufacturer’s instructions to tune your TV into the available digital or analogue channels. Select a tuned-in analogue channel. Next, carry out the following procedures: 1. Turn your aerial to the LEFT until you lose the picture (if alone turn the volume up and turn until you hear a reduction in sound quality). 2. Remember this position and turn your aerial to the RIGHT until you lose the picture/sound again. 3. Now point the aerial in the centre of these two points and you will receive optimum reception. To tune in Digital Terrestrial Television channels refer to manufacturer’s instructions of your DTT equipment.
