Installing ANT3900 with a Multi-switch 

These instructions are intended for satellite systems that
contain a multi-switch only. There are two types of multi-
switches. The first has an antenna input for TV antennas. 
The second does not and tends to be larger. Before continuing,
please determine what type of multi-switch you have. 

Note:

For multi-switch installations, you may require

additional indoor diplexers (RCA model D926) and 
RG-6 coaxial cable.

Installing ANT3900 with an Antenna Input
Multi-switch

1.  Follow “Step A: Installing the ANT3900 

on Your Satellite Dish” on pages 5-7. 

2.  Locate your multi-switch and disconnect the satellite 

wire from the 18-volt (or Satellite “B”) terminal.

3.  Connect the satellite wire to the TV/SAT terminal 

of the indoor diplexer (see Fig 14, page 11).

4.  Use one of the supplied white 12” antenna cables to

connect the TV terminal of the indoor diplexer to the
ANTENNA INPUT on the multi-switch (see Fig 15, page 11).

5.  Use the other supplied white 12” antenna cable to 

connect the SAT terminal of the indoor diplexer to the 
18-volt (or Satellite “B”) terminal of the multi-switch (see
Fig 16, page 11).

6.  Continue to “Step B: Installing the Inside Diplexers” and

follow the remainder of the standard installation procedure.
