Product Information

Full details

This Triax Wolsey WFAV25 LTE masthead amplifier kit is designed for users experiencing weak TV signal reception, offering a reliable way to boost signal strength for a single output. Its key benefit is the adjustable gain and LTE filtering, ensuring a cleaner signal. A potential caveat is that it requires a separate power supply, which is included in this kit, and proper installation is crucial for optimal performance.

FAQs

Do I need a power supply for this amplifier?

Yes, this amplifier requires a power supply to operate. The Triax Wolsey WFAV25 kit includes a suitable power supply.

What does the LTE filtering do?

The LTE700 filtering helps to block out interference from 4G mobile phone signals, which can otherwise disrupt digital TV reception.

How do I adjust the gain?

The gain is adjusted using the variable control knob on the amplifier itself. It typically ranges from 12 dB to 25 dB. Start at a lower setting and increase until the best signal quality is achieved.

Can this amplifier be used outdoors?

Yes, the amplifier is housed in a weatherproof and fully screened enclosure, making it suitable for outdoor installation near the antenna.

How many TVs can this amplifier support?

This is a single output amplifier, meaning it's designed to boost the signal for one coaxial connection point. For multiple TVs, you may need a distribution amplifier or a different system configuration.

What type of connectors does it use?

The amplifier uses standard F-connectors for both input and output, which are common on coaxial cables for TV aerials and satellite dishes.

Troubleshooting

No signal or poor picture quality after installation

Ensure all coaxial cable connections are secure and the correct input/output are used. Check that the power supply is connected and switched on. Try adjusting the variable gain to a different level. Verify the antenna is correctly aligned and functioning.

Amplifier not powering on

Check that the power supply is correctly plugged into both the amplifier and a working mains socket. Ensure the mains socket is functioning by testing it with another appliance.

Interference or 'ghosting' on screen

The LTE700 filter should help with 4G interference. If interference persists, check for other potential sources like poorly shielded cables or nearby electronic devices. Ensure the amplifier's enclosure is fully screened and sealed.

Signal too strong (picture breakup/blocking)

Reduce the variable gain setting on the amplifier. The signal may not require the full 25 dB amplification.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective signal boosting for weak signals.
  • LTE filtering minimizes interference from mobile networks.
  • Adjustable gain allows for precise signal level control.
  • Robust, weatherproof design for outdoor installation.
  • Includes a power supply for convenience.

Cons

  • Requires a separate power supply (though included in this kit).
  • Single output limits distribution.
  • Incorrect installation can lead to signal issues.
  • May not be suitable for very strong signals without careful gain adjustment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the input coaxial cable from your TV antenna to the amplifier's input.
  2. Connect the output coaxial cable from the amplifier to your television or distribution system.
  3. Connect the power supply unit to the amplifier's power input and plug it into a mains socket.
  4. Adjust the variable gain control on the amplifier to achieve the optimal signal level for your TV. Start low and increase gradually.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for use with standard terrestrial digital TV (DTT) antennas.
  • Compatible with Freeview, Saorview, and similar digital terrestrial services.
  • Features LTE700 filtering for compatibility with 4G mobile services.

Care:

  • Ensure connections are secure and free from corrosion.
  • Periodically check the weatherproof enclosure for any damage.
  • Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
