FAQs

Is this socket suitable for satellite dish connections?

This socket is designed for terrestrial TV aerial (co-axial) connections. For satellite connections, a different type of connector is typically required.

Do I need an electrician to install this?

While the installation is designed to be straightforward, for safety and to ensure correct wiring, it is recommended to consult a qualified electrician, especially if you are unsure about electrical work.

What are the dimensions of the socket?

The socket is designed to fit standard UK single-gang faceplate dimensions, typically around 86mm x 86mm.

Can I use this to replace an existing TV socket?

Yes, provided your existing socket is mounted in a compatible two-way back box and uses a standard co-axial connection.

How do I clean the piano black finish without damaging it?

Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, spirits, or strong detergents, as they can dull or scratch the finish.

Is the screwless plate removable for access?

Yes, the screwless plate is designed to be easily removed by gently pulling it away from the back module, allowing access to the connections if needed.

Troubleshooting

No TV signal after installation

Verify that the co-axial cable is correctly and securely connected to the socket. Ensure the central pin is making good contact and the outer braiding is properly terminated. Check that power is on and the circuit is functioning.

Faceplate does not click into place

Ensure you are using a compatible back box and that the socket module is correctly seated within it. Check for any obstructions or debris preventing a flush fit.

Loose connection

Carefully remove the faceplate and check the connections to the socket module. Ensure all internal connections are tight and secure. Re-attach the faceplate firmly until it clicks.
