Product description

Cascadable 8 output single cable multiswitch with 4 independent signal processors is intended for the distribution of 

satellite and terrestrial signals for up to 32 satellite tuners or receivers on each outputs pair.

The multiswitch have 4 passive SAT IF and 1 active Terrestrial TV trunk lines and 4 pairs subscribers outputs (8 outputs 

total) and 4 x DC power modes for convenient DC powering options (see chapter „Installation instructions”).

The device ensure an independent access for every subscriber to any SAT IF or Terrestrial TV trunk line.

These multiswitches automatically detect SCR/dSCR mode or legacy format  from the receiver. The dSCR switches also 

feature fully automatic level control, negating the need for any gain or level adjustments in most installations. Built into a 

zinc alloy diecast housing for extreme interference immunity. The housing of multiswitches meets more stringent screening 

requirements according to EN50083-2, class A.

Control according to EN50494/EN50607 (SCR/dSCR) as well as Legacy (+13 V/+18 V/22 kHz) commands.

Safety instructions

Installation of the multiswitch must be done according IEC60728-11 and national safety standards. 

The multiswitch are powered from the stabilized power 20 V. This voltage is not dangerous to life. 

External power supply must have a short circuit protection.

Any repairs must be made by qualified personnel. 

To avoid damaging of the multiswitch do not connect the supply voltage until all cables have been connected correctly. 

The device shall be mounted in vertical position with RF input connectors on the top side on a wall or other nonflamable surface.

The multiswitch must be fixed with steel screws Ø 4-4.5 mm. The screws are not included in a package.

Do not expose multiswitch to moisture or splashing water and make sure no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, 

are placed near or on the unit. 

Avoid placing the multiswitch next to central heating components or direct sunlight and in areas of high humidity. 

No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on multiswitch. 

If the multiswitch has been kept in cold conditions for a long time, keep it in warm room no less than 2 hours before powering. 

The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the multiswitch with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains. 

The mains socket of external power supply must be easily accessible.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS! 

Before connecting any products to a system, it is essential to make sure the 

system power supply is switched off

. Avoid 

short-circuit or overload of any power supply. Never “HOT-SWAP” any system components as this may result in damage to 

the newly introduced or existing components.

 The SRM580 multiswitch is intended only for indoor installation or installation in a suitable weatherproof outdoor cabinet. 

This multiswitch must not come into contact with moisture or be installed in areas of high humidity or heat. 

Suitable for moderate and tropical climates.

 Always mount the multiswitch securely to a wall or bulkhead panel so it cannot hang or swing on its coaxial cables as 

this may strain the internal circuit board and components.

 Always connect all of the coaxial cables to the multiswitch before connecting the power. These units are not designed to 

be “HOT-SWAPPED” or connected to a live system.

 Always be sure that connecting cables shield and multiswitch functional grounding clamp have common potential before 

powering the system. Floating voltages can be created in an un-earthed system which may cause damage and can be dangerous.

 Momentary short-circuit of any cables may be enough to damage the sensitive electronics within the multi-switch or the 

connected system.

 Always allow plenty of ventilation around the multi-switch and do not allow it to be covered with materials such as loft insulation.

 We recommend at least 5 cm of airspace around the multi-switch. Digital products can get hot to the touch and require 

a flow of air to avoid overheating.

 SRM580 multiswitch is designed only to work with Ku band Quattro LNBs.

 LNB’s and other system equipment connected to the multiswitch SAT H,Lo and H,Hi trunks inputs/outputs can be powered 

from the same power supply as the multiswitch.

To avoid damage not covered by warranty 

DO NOT EXCEED MAX CURRENTS

.  See  “

Technical 

characteristics

” for max. current for external equipment.

DO NOT OPERATE THE DC POWER TO H TRUNK LINES SWITCH

 (see Figure 1, pos.21) unless you 

totally understand the power demands of the system and confirmed they are 2 A or less. 

ALWAYS LEAVE 

THE DC POWER TO H TRUNK LINES SWITCH IN THE "OFF" POSITION

 when inserting SRM580 into an 

existing multiswitch installation.    

    Damage caused by current overload is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
