Frequently Asked Questions - SPI9961SET6 Schwaiger

How many receivers can I connect to the multiswitch?

The multiswitch is available in versions with 6, 8, 12 or 16 outputs. Each output can power one receiver. For a Twin receiver, two outputs are required.

What type of LNB should I use?

Use a universal Quattro LNB (e.g. Schwaiger SPS 6918) for analog and digital reception. Check the LNB power consumption (max. 500 mA total).

How do I power the multiswitch?

Connect the supplied mains adapter (230 V / 15 W max) to the corresponding socket. Use only an original Schwaiger mains adapter.

Can I use a standard coaxial cable?

Yes, use a 75 ohm coaxial cable (e.g. Schwaiger KOX 110). After fitting the F male connector, check for short circuits.

What is the total power consumption?

The multiswitch consumes a maximum of 15 W from the mains. The LNB power supply can deliver up to 500 mA (18 V) for the LNBs.

Where should I install the multiswitch?

Install it in a dry and well-ventilated room. The mounting bracket must be difficult to ignite. Avoid high temperatures (up to 55 °C during operation).

How do I connect the SAT inputs?

Connect each output of the Quattro LNB to the four SAT inputs of the multiswitch. Observe the polarities (14/18 V and 22 kHz) for band switching.

What should I do with unused outputs?

Terminate unused inputs and outputs with 75 ohm terminating resistors (e.g. Schwaiger ÜST 8380 201) to prevent reflections.

Is the multiswitch compatible with terrestrial television?

Yes, it has an RDF/TV input (47-862 MHz) for distributing analog or digital terrestrial signals (DVB-T) within the TV network.

How to resolve interference or signal loss?

Check the cabling (no short circuits), F connectors, and that terminating resistors are in place. Ensure the LNB is compatible and power supply is sufficient. Contact technical support if necessary.

Multiswitch - Mounting Instructions

The multiswitch allows the distribution of analogue and digital signals from one satellite position or four reception levels.

It provides the option to feed in terrestrial channels, e.g. in order to integrate FM-radio stations or regional analog oder digital (DVB-T) TV stations into the TV network.

HINT: Please read the operating instructions carefully and be aware to observe all security advices before starting your multi-switch system.

1.0. Explanation of the Terms Used in the Mounting Instructions

Analog channels:
= „low“ frequency band (frequency range : 10.70 - 11.70 GHz)
Digital channels:
= „high“ frequency band (frequency range : 11.70 - 12.75 GHz)
Vertical plane of polarization (V) : DC voltage typ. +14 V
Horizontal plane of polarization (H) : DC voltage typ. +18 V
Characteristic frequency 22 kHz :
The 0/22 kHz characteristic frequency is used
for switch-over from the LNB1/low band to the LNB1/high band.

2.0. Multiswitch Control

The multiswitch is controlled via the familiar analogue switching criteria.

-Activating the multiswitch by means of the usual analog switching media 14/18 V and 22 kHz may provide access to max. two frequency bands. (LNB1/low - LNB1/high)

3.0. Installation Instructions

The currently valid safety requirements must be observed! (See enclosed sheet of instructions „Important Safety Hints“)

3.1. LNBs

A universal quattro LNB (e.g. the Schwaiger SPS 6918) can be used as a feed system for receiving analogue and digital channels from a single SAT position.

HINT :

When using other LNB types, be aware of their current demand!

(see chapter 3.2. of these instructions)

3.2. LNB Power Supply

The power supply of the LNBs is performed by means of the power supply unit at the multiswitch.

IMPORTANT: Use only the original Schwaiger mains adaptor!

A total maximum of 500mA are available to feed the LNB.

(18V to the LNB inputs L/H + H/H)

3.4. System Cabling

• T3.4 The system must have a star-topology distribution structure from the multiswitch to the antenna sockets (e.g. Schwaiger DSE 650 or DSE 652), i.e. only one receiver may be connected to each output on the multiswitch. For twin receivers you require two supply lines.
• Use 75 Ohm coaxial cables for system cabling (e.g. Schwaiger KOX 110).
• Subsequent to mounting the F connectors, check the coaxial cables for short circuits.

3.5. It is recommended that you terminate all the unused multiswitch inputs and outputs with 75 Ohm terminators (e.g. Schwaiger ÜST 8380 201).

3.6. Mounting of the Multiswitch

Multiswitches must only be installed in dry rooms with sufficient ventilation.

Moreover, multiswitches must be mounted to a hardly flammable ground.

IMPORTANT:

During constant operation at 25^ C room temperature, some parts of the multiswitch carry a temperature of up to 55^ C, depending on the current input of the LNB type used.

3.7. Protective Arrangement

The multi switch needs to be grounded by way of its grounding terminal!
