Introduction
The name Labgear has been associated with quality
signal distribution since 1932 and the current range
of amplifiers continues to uphold that tradition.
The LDL line powered amps can carry analogue
and digital TV and radio, DAB, Freeview, DVB-T
and DVB-T2 HD TV signals and have:
• Separate more compact and efficient
Switch-Mode Power Supplies which run cooler
• Improved gain flatness delivering a better
balance across the performance range
• Lower noise figure for optimised signal quality
• Greater signal handling capacity to cope with
more channels
• Better impedance matching and therefore
improved signal transfer from amp to cable
• Labgear amplifiers use F-type coaxial
connectors for better matching and security
These fully screened 6 and 8 way TV and FM/DAB amplifiers are line powered by the separate
PSUFC power unit supplied. This allows the amplifiers to be positioned anywhere in the building
as long as they are connected with good quality coax cable to the power unit. This makes them
ideal for installation in lofts where no 13 Amp power supply is available. The amplifiers feature
separate inputs for VHF (Band III TV, FM and DAB digital radio) and UHF (Freeview, DVB-T and
DVB-T2 HD digital TV). They also have an IR return path to enable channel changing from remote
locations and are compatible with Labgear and other Digilink remote control systems.
This makes them ideal for use in Sky™ digital satellite home installations, where the output from
a digibox can be distributed to several rooms with the capability for full remote control of the
Sky™ box from these rooms. The LDL amplifiers are compliant with the Radio Equipment Directive
2014/53/EU and meet harmonised standard EN 303 354 for product Type D Class 0, they are suit-
able for digital TV signal distribution of Ch21-60 from a receiver or from an aerial fitted with a 4G
filter in the UK and EIRE.

General Safety Precautions
To Prevent Overheating
The recommended clearances and other precautions given in these instructions must be
observed to prevent overheating. In addition, units should not be positioned where they are
likely to become covered by curtains, fabric or insulating material. The amp should not be
left resting on a carpet.
Other precautions
These appliances are not waterproof, they are intended for indoor use only and must not be
positioned where they could be exposed to dripping or splashing water. Objects containing
liquids should not be placed on or near the amplifier.
To prevent fire, make sure the unit and attached cabling is installed well away from
naked flames.
Mains Plug
Your amplifier is supplied with a standard mains plug already fitted, if you need to change
the plug use a competent professional (ELECSA or NICEIC) to make the connection.
If you need to change the fuse use a 3 Amp fuse to BS1362 carrying the ASTA or BSI
approved mark and refit the plastic fuse carrier.
