151

To connect the product inputs and outputs use high-quality coaxial cables designed for satellite reception and

F-connectors. Use a high-shielding coaxial cables with minimum 90dB. If you use wall sockets to loopthrough the 8 user bands, make sure the wall sockets were designed for satellite reception compatible with Unicable technology and allows bidirectional signal propagation.

The Multiswitch shall be powered using the supplied

AC/DC power adapter over its +20V DC input.

Connect the cables from the Quattro LNB to the input connectors marked with LNB V/L, V/H, H/L and H/H inputs (pay attention to identification of the Quattro LNB connectors). The multiswitch is equipped with Terrestrial input. Connect the Terrestrial antenna to this input:

The Legacy output is a standard Universal switching output that allows to connect a legacy receiver that is not supporting the Unicable protocol.

The Unicable (marked ‘SCR’) output allows to connect up to 8 receiver tuners – each needs to be allocated one of the 8 user bands supported by the multiswitch.

Each receiver tuner is assigned with 1 out of 8 communication channel frequencies (user band).

The frequencies are listed on the product sticker:

For optimized performance, please follow the recommendations below:

1. use the highest frequency for a wall socket located the nearest to the multiswitch and use the lowest frequency for wall socket located farest to the multiswitch.

2. If you install less than 8 receiver tuners, use the lowest frequencies first. We also recommend to keep record of the user bands allocated to the different connections as these user bands will then have to be set in the receiver. The satellite receives connected to the Unicable (SCR) output should be Unicable-compatible.

Note: Loopthrough outputs that are not used should be terminated with 75ohm DC-blocked terminations.

Safety

Never open a powered product. This may result in electrical hazard.

Never work on the product, TV set or other powered devices during or before a storm. A lightning strike into the antenna may cause dangerous overvoltage over the product’s metallic/conductive parts.

Make sure the local electricity network corresponds to the operating voltage of the AC/DC adaptor.If the products gets into contact with liquid it must be disconnected from the main power.

It is recommended to disconnect the product from the main power if it is not used for long periods of time.

When disconnecting the product don’t pull the cable but the plug to prevent damage of the cable (wobbly plugs and outlets result in fire risk).

The product shall be serviced by qualified experts only.

Troubleshooting

Make sure the satellite antenna and LNB are properly fixed, connected and adjusted and that the satellite receivers are installed, connected and switched on according to available instructions. Ensure there is no short circuit on the product inputs. This will prevent power to the LNB. If this is the case, disconnect the product from the main power, and then find and remove the short circuit on the product inputs. Then re-connect the multiswitch to the main power. Frequent defects are in connector joints i.e. if the central conductor is too short and fails to make contact in the connector.

Also the shielding braid should make proper contact with the connector coat. Sometimes a reset to the multiswitch microprocessor is sufficient to remove a fault: simply disconnect the multiswitch from main power for 30 seconds and then reconnect again. If you are unable to remove the fault yourself, please contact your distributor.

Disposal

Following relevant EU directives, this device shall not be disposed of together with municipal waste. Use local waste collection and recycling systems to dispose wore out products.
