Kathrein Power Saving
If an EXE 159 is operated alone or together with other multi-switches that bear the Kathrein
Power Saving logo, Kathrein Power Saving can be activated by setting the stand-by switch
to “ON”. If a receiver in the cascade is switched on, the LNB is powered through the end
multi-switch.
Multi-switches without Kathrein Power Saving do not give signalling to the
end multi-switch. The stand-by switch must be set to “OFF” for permanent
powering of the LNB.

PIN code protection
The multi-switch is protected by a PIN code in order to prevent the set userband from be-
ing used/disturbed by another subscriber. This should be speci
fi
ed in the receiver settings.
A
fi
xed PIN has been assigned to each userband.
