Triax Euro Line TMS 17XX SE/CE Multiswitch
The Triax Euro Line Multiswitch Range is a very high quality range of Multiswitches for single or cascade SAT-IF
(satellite) distribution networks with a need for RF loop-through. Available in both active and passive variants for RF
loop-through the range offers a perfect selection to use for both terrestrial aerial reception signals (A-active), as well
as a full CATV signal including DOCSIS support (P-passive). NOTE, DOCSIS limited by SAT-IF that occupies 950-
2150MHz.
The Euro Line Series is Made in Europe, and fully meets the EN 50083-3 Class A shielding requirements.
The purpose of this guide is to enable the successful installation and use of the TMS 17XX Multiswitch series.
The TMS 17XX Series (Four satellite positions)
:
TMS 17XX SE P-EU = Stand-alone unit, terrestrial passive, built-in PSU with EU Mains plug.
TMS 17XX SE A-EU = Stand-alone unit, terrestrial active, built-in PSU with EU Mains plug.
TMS 17XX CE A = Cascaded output unit, terrestrial passive, for external PSU.
TMS 17XX CE P = Cascaded output unit, terrestrial active, for external PSU.
NOTE: The TMS 17XX Range uses four Quattro LNBs each receiving from one orbital Satellite position.
XX are placeholder for individual units with 08, 12, 16, 24 or 32 user/subscriber outputs.
Please refer to Triax.com for Euro Series Multiswitch products for reception of 1, 2 and 3 SAT positions
Security
During installation please observe the requirements set forth in the EU safety standards EN 60065 and
50083-1 as well as local requirements and standards for SAT-IF and RF SMATV-installations.
Exercise care and good practise when mounting coaxial connectors (F-connectors) on the cables to
avoid short circuits and unnecessary emission of noise and disturbance of neighbouring installations.
Only perform multi switch installation jobs while mains plug of all power supplies are disconnected.
Make sure no short circuits are present on the distribution cables before applying mains power to the
multi switch installation and Satellite Receivers. Short circuits may overload, overheat and harm Power
Supplies and Satellite Receivers that are attempting to supply an excessive amount of current.
Check the rating labels of any attached power supply and make sure the local Mains Voltage you
connect it to never exceeds those ratings. Failure to observe this and act accordingly may compromise
the security and safety of the whole system and expose you and everyone attached to the installation to
damage, fire and electric shock.
Make sure the ambient temperature at the installation site never exceeds the temperature limits for the
product installed. If required you must arrange for suitable temperature conditioning. Failure to observe
this and act accordingly may compromise the performance, security and safety of the whole system and
expose you and everyone attached to the installation to damage, fire and electric shock.
A multi switch installation should be earthed. An earth screw is available on the multi switch unit.
The manufacturer is not responsible for damage or system failures caused by Installers ignoring the
above safety measures.
Installation:
First rule in any Multiswitch installation are: NEVER use a too small size satellite Dish, and
NEVER use the compromise of a dual mount LNB for a multi satellite position reception on one Dish.
Correct Dish size ensures sufficient reservers in bad weather and the best possible C/N for the rest of
the installation. Making compromises here CANNOT be fixed later in the network by adding Amplifiers!
A High Gain LNB only gives more Signal Level, but not Signal Quality. That only comes from Dish Size!
Mount the multi switch only indoor on a vertical dry surface using the available screwholes and ‘feets’.
