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 SRM564, SRM584 and SRM564T, SRM584T multiswitches are intended only for indoor installation or installation
in a suitable weatherproof outdoor cabinet. These multiswitches must not come into contact with moisture or be installed in
areas of high humidity or heat.
Multiswitches are suitable for moderate and tropical climates.
Always mount the multiswitches 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 multiswitches 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 multiswitches 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 multiswitch or the
connected system.
Always allow plenty of ventilation around the multiswitch and do not allow it to be covered with materials such as loft
insulation.
We recommend at least 5 cm of airspace around the multiswitch. Digital products can get hot to the touch and require a
flow of air to avoid overheating.
LNBs and other system equipment connected to the multiswitch SAT trunks inputs/outputs can be powered from the
same power supply as the multiswitch (see chapter „Installation instructions”).
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 or V TRUNK LINES SWITCHES
(see Figure 1, pos. 21, 23)
unless you totally understand the power demands of the system and confirmed they are 3.2 A total or less
per H or V lines.
ALWAYS LEAVE THE DC POWER TO H or V TRUNK LINES SWITCHES IN THE “OFF”
POSITION
when inserting the SRM564, SRM584 and SRM564T, SRM584T into an existing multiswitches
installation.
Damage caused by current overload is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
