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 F-sockets marked “A”, “B”, “C”, “D” to Quattro LNB
•Connect F-socket marked „TERR IN“ to terr. antenna or amplifier
•Connect F-sockets marked “1”, “2”, “3”, … to wall sockets
•Connect connector marked with protective bonding symbol with protective bonding conductor
•In case of insufficiency of power supplies within satellite receivers connect also external power
supply 18V to socket marked “18 V DC”
Note: Recommended power supply is EMP-Centauri PA18.
