Dear Customer,
congratulations on the purchase of the EMP-Centauri product. Before its installation and putting into
operation, read carefully the entire operation manual. Keep the purchase and rework if any) records for
future need.
1) Field of Application, Warranty
The product is designed for the distribution of satellite & terrestrial including cable) TV and radio signals. Its
main purpose is to allow connecting of multiple user to the common antenna SMATV).
The manufacturer provides for E.LITE CLASS products extended 4 four) years warranty from the date of
purchase, see details in EMP-Centauri’s General trade conditions, published at manufacturer’s website
www.emp-centauri.cz.
It is prohibited to dismantle the product and make any interventions in it. Repairs or any interventions in the
product may be performed only by EMP-Centauri company, or other companies authorized by EMP-
Centauri.
2) Technical Specifications
Products are cascadable multiswitches for distribution of terrestrial and satellite signals from 3 satellite
positions 12 polarities) to up to 60 users, depending on model. Satellite trunk lines are active and exhibit
small gain. Terrestrial trunk line is passive.
Terrestrial band can be switched passive / active for all user’s outputs. The insertion loss in satellite band is
sloped to compensate increasing loss of coaxial cables.
The multiswitch is DC supplied from connected satellite receivers, DC2.1 socket for external power 12V is
connected to all satellite inputs. DC pass is provided through the TERR line.

In the case of damage or missing accessories please contact your dealer.
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. The
product shall be in no case held only by the connected cables.
Further instructions:
•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 .
Connect the F connectors into the F sockets of product and fasten them with an appropriate force.
•Connect input F sockets marked “A” – “D”, “TERR” with outputs of preceding device in the
2 of 4

cascade LNB/antenna, amplifier, cascadable multiswitch)
•Connect output F sockets marked “A” – “D”, “TERR” with inputs of following device in the cascade
cascadable multiswitch, amplifier) or with 75 Ohm terminators DC-blocked)
•Connect output F sockets marked “1”, “2”, “3”… with wall sockets or receivers or terminate them
with 75 ohm terminators*
•Connect connector marked with protective earth symbol with protective bonding conductor
•Connect DC2.1 socket marked “DC 12V” with power supply
* Termination is not required if terrestrial reception is not used.
6) Product Settings
Turn the knob “ACTIVE PASSIVE” to switch between active and passive mode of terrestrial band.
Each 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 DiSEqC 1.0: 3 of 4 DiSEqC 1.0: C committed: BA
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.).
