TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Whyte Series 5 Lite Multiswitches are compatible with Quad and Quattro
LNB’s. The inputs are colour coded for ease of installation which is especially
useful when using a Quattro LNB. For convenience, existing satellite dishes
which are already fitted with a Quad LNB may be used, whereby the drop
cables can be connected to the SAT inputs in no particular order.
The Series 5 Lite range is RED Compliant and provides a nominal gain of
2dB(±2dB) for Satellite and 10dB(±2dB) Terrestrial Reception. To facilitate the
reception of FM and DAB radio at the outlets, the FM and DAB aerials must
be combined with the Terrestrial TV Aerial using a Triplexer. The combined
signals are then connected the TERR input of the Multiswitch.
A high rejection switchable 4G/5G filter is fitted to avoid interference from
LTE signals. If required, a Terrestrial mast amplifier can be powered via the
multiswitch by setting the 12V switch to the “ON” position. If a mast amplifier
is not being used, this switch must be left in the “OFF” position. The TERR
gain can be set to 0dB or 10dB via the TERR Gain Switch.
The Power Supply Unit provided must be connected to the 18V DC Input.
This will power the Multiswitch as well as provide power to the Satellite LNB
inputs. A maximum of 500mA LNB power is available which enables the use
of a line powered launch amplifier if required.
If a local mains supply is not available such as in lofts and outdoor cabinets,
the Power Supply Unit may be conveniently fitted elsewhere whereby the
18V DC F-Type lead can be extended using coaxial cable.
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 supplied fixing screws or
other fixing to suit the relevant wall surface or cabinet.
