4) Product Storing and Installation
We recommend the device to be installed and serviced by the qualified technician.
The product must not be stored and installed:
•in the place with excessive humidity
•in the place with dropping or splashing water,
•in the place with excessive dust pollution, mechanical vibrations or impacts
•in the place out of temperature limits specified in the section 2) Technical Specifications
•close to heat sources radiators or air ventilators, direct sunshine etc.)
•in the reach of children
Use the apparatus only in moderate climates not in tropical climate).
Fix the product firmly on a wall or another hard and inflammable surface with screws and dowels, or to DIN
rail using provided plastic holders.
The mains socket must be placed near the product. The mains plug shall remain readily operable.
The mains socket and plug must be easily available.
•the product shall be in no case held only by the connected cables
•ensure the free space at least 10 cm around the product for the sufficient air circulation
•do not cover the product with curtains etc.)
•do not place any containers with liquids vases, glasses etc.) or naked flame sources lighted
candle etc.) on the product or near the product
5) Product Connection
Connect the product in accordance with this manual and valid regulation in you country. Use high quality 75 Ω
coaxial cable designed for satellite reception. The coaxial cables shall not be broken, the minimum bending
radius should be 5 cm. Mount the F connectors screw, crimp or compress type) on the ends of coaxial cables,
in the case of using the screw F connectors proceed according to the following picture and instructions:
1. Remove the outer coaxial cable coating in the length of approx. 15 mm.
2. Roll up the metal shielding braid and the shielding foil underneath and cut the shielding with
scissors to approx. 5 mm.
3. Remove approx. 10 mm of the inner plastic insulation approx. 5 mm of the insulation remains in a place).
4. Carefully screw the F connector on the cable end until the plastic insulation levels with the
F connector opening.
5. Check there is no short between the inner conductor of coaxial cable and F connector.
Connect the F connectors into the F sockets of product and fasten them with an appropriate force.
• Connect input F sockets marked “A” – “D” with LNBs outputs according to the next table:
marking of F socket of multiswitch marking of outputs of quattro LNB
A V/L or 12V/0kHz
B H/L or 18V/0kHz
C V/H or 12V/22kHz
D H/H or 18V/22kHz
4 of 8

•Connect input F socket marked “TERR” with output of terrestrial antenna, eventually with output
of terrestrial amplifier or channel processing equipment
•Connect output F sockets marked “1”, “2”, “3”… with wall sockets
•Connect DC2.1 socket marked “DC 12V” with power supply
•Connect connector marked with protective bounding symbol with protective bounding conductor,
see section 9) Symbols Explanation.
Warnings: Use Quattro LNB only. Avoid short circuit at TERR input!
The wiring examples are shown in the section 10) Wiring Diagrams or at the website www.emp-centauri.cz.
) Product Settings
Terrestrial input is switchable passive/active using rotary knob., see symbols at the sticker. In passive mode
is return path avaulable.
Connected satellite receiver must be properly set up to have access to all connected LNBs. Follow
instruction manual for satellite receiver or TV set. The most common styles of setup are shown in the table:
SAT SYSTEM LNB) Setting style 1 Setting style 2 Setting style 3
A DiSEqC 1.0: 1 of 4 DiSEqC 1.0: A committed: AA
B DiSEqC 1.0: 2 of 4 DiSEqC 1.0: B committed: AB
C if used) DiSEqC 1.0: 3 of 4 DiSEqC 1.0: C committed: BA
D if used) DiSEqC 1.0: 4 of 4 DiSEqC 1.0: D committed: BB
7) Safety
Due to security reasons the product and wiring in which the product is connected, must be grounded
properly. Use the terminal identified with the appropriate symbol to ground the product. Make sure the
antennas are properly protected against lightning.
The product should be disconnected from the wiring immediately if it gets into contact with liquids dropping
water, spilled drinks etc.).
8) Product Maintenance
The maintenance operation is especially cleansing of the product. Use only dry cloth to clean the product
and do not use any liquid agents.
Coaxial cables installed outdoors should be replaced once in a few years. Unscrew all F connectors and
clean connector contacts, resp. shorten the coaxial cable by approx. 2 cm, every 2 years.
9) Symbols Explanation
certificate of conformity
According to EU directive, electric and electronic devices which are identified by one of the
following symbols must not be disposed of together with municipal waste. When disposing
of the old device, use local waste collection and separation systems.
