TV, FM Co-Axial & Satellite Socket Outlet
Types of Sockets
- Non-Isolated – Intended for use in installations with direct connection to the Aerial down-lead.
- Isolated – This type of co-axial outlet provides a safety installation between the Aerial down-lead and the co-axial socket. These sockets are not suitable for use in systems where DC signals are passed through the socket. For example, where masthead/headend equipment is controlled by receiver/decoder equipment.
- TV/FM Diplex – This diplexer unit separates the TV and FM band signals from systems where both signals are combined on a single aerial down-lead.
General Installation Instructions
- If using the new product to replace an old one, note the cable connections and wire up new product in the same way as the old one, with Earthing as stated in these instructions.
- Ensure the mounting box (metal or plastic) for either flush or surface mounting is the appropriate size for the product.
- Route the cable through the most suitable entry point of the mounting box. If a metal box is used a protective cable grommet should be used.
- Strip the cable to the dimensions in the diagram.
- Connect the inner conductor under the central plate and screw. Se-curely clamp the screening braid under the clamp, ensuring that there are no loose conductor strands that may cause short circuits. To assist with the correct installation of this product please consult the wiring diagram.
- When tightening the screening braid clamp ensure that the cable is firmly gripped and that the inner insulation is not squashed beyond a slight oval shape. Always tighten the terminal screws securely, but do not overtighten them.
- Carefully position the accessory into the mounting box, ensuring that no wires are trapped between the plate and the wall and secure with screws (do not over tighten) then insert screw covers (optional).
- Once work has been completed correctly, the product is ready for use.
Note – If your installation uses a four lug metal mounting box, remove the top and bottom lugs or bend fully back.

Care
To maintain the high quality appearance of decorative finish switches and sockets, BG Electrical recommend the use of a soft cloth periodically to clean the front face. When installing a decorative product please ensure that the wall is decorated, finished and free of moisture prior to installation. BG Electrical recommends avoiding using, but not restricted to, these substances from becoming in contact with the decorative metal front-plates when cleaning or decorating:
- Adhesive tape, including low tack masking tape
- Solvents
- White spirit
- Multi surface cleaners
- Industrial multipurpose cleaning wipes
- Wet wipes
Using items like those listed above may cause a degrading effect to the front- plates lacquer/plated finish, although the function will remain unaffected.
