Instructions for Use 

3x4 Multi-Switch

47691-3MS

DESCRIPTION

The 3x4 Multi-Switch distributes satellite signals from dual incoming
LNB (Low Noise Block Converter) Digital Satellite Systems to up to
four satellite receivers. The appropriate LNB is determined auto-
matically by the reciever, depending on the voltage.

The module also incorporates a separate input to receive TV anten-
na signals, which is best used in combination with a video amplifier.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

To install the 3x4 Multi-Switch module to the Leviton Structured
Media Center (SMC), align the mounting pin plungers with the grid
holes in the back of the SMC. The module must be mounted hori-
zontally.

With the mounting pin plungers in the "out" position, press the unit
into the grid in the desired location. Final setting is made by push-
ing the plunger head in to lock it in place.

SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS

Attach the satellite cable connectors (RG-6 "F") to either LNB input
port on the 3x4 Multi-Switch ("LNB-A" or "LNB-B").

Attach the RG-6 "F" connector from a TV (terrestrial) antenna to the
input port (indicated by "ANT") on the Multi-Switch. 

NOTE: When using this Multi-Switch in combination with a TV anten-
na, a video amplifier is recommended to boost outgoing signal.

Attach the RG-6 "F" connectors from satellite receivers to the output
ports (indicated by the numerals 1-4) on the Multi-Switch. 

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

The 3 x 4 Multi-Switch module will now arbitrate incoming satellite
signals, and select which signal is appropriate according to the
receiver voltage.

NOTE: When combining incoming TV antenna signal with the incom-
ing satellite signal, it is neccesary to use a diplexer to seperate out
signals before connecting to the satellite receivers. (See Figure 1.)
