INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
MOUNTING THE MULTISWITCH
Select a suitable location to install the Multiswitch. Do not install the
Multiswitch in damp, humid, hot or dusty areas. Using the screw slots on the
Corner Brackets, secure the Multiswitch using the appropriate fixing screws
and wall plugs to suit the relevant wall surface or cabinet.
CONNECTING THE SAT & TERR INPUT AND OUTPUT TRUNK CABLES
Use a suitably sized Satellite Dish to provide adequate signal levels from the
satellite being received. Ensure that the Satellite Drop Cables are connected
correctly to the LNB's. Ensure that the F Connectors are properly sealed
against water ingress. If a Composite Cable (multi core coaxial cable) has been
used, ensure that the outer jacket is not facing upwards and cannot collect
rain water.
Check the Terrestrial Drop Cable and ensure that this has also been sealed
against water ingress. If a Triplexer has been used to combine FM and DAB
aerials with the UHF Terrestrial Aerial, ensure that this is also water tight.
Ensure that all drop cables have drip loops prior to their entering the building.
Connect the SAT and TERR drop cables to the corresponding Satellite and
TERR Inputs on the Multiswitch. Connect any additional Multiswitches or
Trunk Cables to the Satellite & TERR Trunk Outputs as applies. Ensure that
you terminate the last Multiswitch in a cascade using 75Ω DC Blocked F-type
Terminators.
