2/ at 18 V DC from satellite receiver
Common features: Terrestrial input is always passive. The devices are powered from connected satellite
receivers. External power supply for LNBs included in package) is connected through socket DC2.1
3) roduct Takeover
Make sure that the product is not damaged and following accessories are enclosed:
3 of 8

•Multiswitch
•Power supply
In the case of damage or missing accessories please contact your dealer.
4) roduct 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, with dropping or splashing water, 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 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) roduct 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 convertors 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 10) Symbols Explanation.
Note: Use only Quattro LNB with the multiswitch.
The wiring examples are shown in the section 11) Wiring Diagrams or at the website www.emp-centauri.cz.
6) roduct Settings
The multiswitch itself has no setting components. However, 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 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) roduct 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.
