1 Introduction
The OCS409 is designed for the distribution of satellite and terrestrial television / radio signals
to multiple subscribers. In contrast to the conventional star structure, the OCS409 requires
only a simple tree structure.
The device can also be used in existing star distribution structures to extend the amount of
subscribers.
Configuration examples:

2 Safety advice
For your own protection, you should read this safety advice carefully before installing the de-
vice. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for damage caused by non-observance of the
safety hints, or by inappropriate handling.
•Installation and repairs to the equipment may only be carried out by technicians observing
the current VDE guidelines. No liability will be assumed in the case of faulty installation
and commissioning.
•Before opening the equipment pull out the power plug or remove the power supply, other-
wise there is danger of electrocution. This is also valid for cleaning the equipment or
working on the connections.
•Providing that a serviceable fuse exists, the power cord must be pulled out before changing
the fuse. Defective fuses may only be replaced with standard compliant fuses that have
the same nominal value.
•The equipment may only be operated in dry rooms. In humid rooms or outdoors there is
danger of short-circuit (caution: risk of fire) or electrocution.
•Choose the location of installation or mounting so that the power plug can be reached
and pulled out of the socket easily in case of danger. Choose the location of installation
or mounting such that children may not play unsupervised near the equipment and its
connections.
•The location of installation or mounting must allow a safe installation of all cables connec-
ted. Power feeding cables as well as feeder lines may not be damaged or clamped by objects
of any kind.
•To prevent damage to your equipment and to avoid possible peripheral damages, the
device is foreseen for wall mounting may only be installed on a flat surface.
•Choose the location of installation or mounting so that under no circumstances liquids or
objects can get into the equipment (e.g. condensation, water coming from leaking roofs
or flowing water, etc.).
•Avoid exposure of the equipment to direct sunlight and to other heat sources (e. g. radia-
tors. other electrical devices, chimney, etc.). Devices that are equipped with heat sinks or
ventilation slots must under no circum-stances be covered or blocked. Also ensure for a
generous air circulation around the equipment. In this way you avoid possible damage to
the equipment as well as a risk of fire caused by overheating.
•Absolutely avoid that cables come near any source of heat (e.g. radiators, other electrical
devices, chimney, etc.).

3 Function
The OCS409 has four inputs for connecting, four arbitrary satellite polarisation levels, one in-
put for connecting terrestrial signals (CATV, DVB-T, FM).
Additional to that it has an output for connecting to the home coax installation and connectors
for USB flash drives and the power adaptor.
The OCS409 selects out up to 9 transponders, coming in by one of the 4 inputs and arranges
them together with the terrestrial signals and puts them out on the output for distribution over
home coax installation.
The selection of transponders is done by a configuration file, which is loaded into the device by
a USB flash drive.
The configuration file can be created on a PC by using the provided software. To create the file
knowledge about satellite transponder lists (e.g. on the Internet) is necessary.
The selected and by home coax network distributed transponders will be converted to tele-
vision channels by an DVB-S(2) receiver, as well as for the satellite television.
There are no special receivers needed in combination with the OCS409, all internal or ex-
ternal satellite receivers available on the market can be used. It is only necessary to make a
transponder search for each in a single wire network used receiver. A receiver with preprogram-
med transponder lists helps to simplify this procedure.
Transponder: For the satellite television a transponder is a container, it contains TV-
and FM-Channels that are compressed and packaged by technical proce-
dures. Then these containers will be arranged like a pearl necklace to a
satellite carrier frequency and transmitted from the satellite to the earth
using a polarisation level.
Polarisation plane: In relation to a satellite reception, 4 polarisation planes are defined.
Two planes differ in a frequency range. The LOW band (10.7 GHz
to 11.7 GHz) and the HIGH band (11.7 GHz to 12.75 GHz). These
frequency ranges get an offset in dependence of control voltage so that
only one range can be putted out.
The two other planes differ in a radiation direction, VERTICAL
and HORIZONTAL.
Therefore they are called:
•VL (vertical-low band),
•VH (vertical-high band),
•HL (horizontal-low band) and
•HH (horizontal-high band)
plane.

4 Application examples
4.1 Typical system configuration
Typical example of a tree structure
With the OCS409, satellite programs can be added to a terrestrial reception network.
The handling will be more comfortable by using a integrated DVB-T/S tuner, because on-
ly one remote control is necessary to handle DVB-T and DVB-S programs (1). This feature is
interesting especially for hotel applications, because there is no need for additional receivers.
Also if there are not enough outlets, the OCS409 lets expand the amount of connected re-
ceivers by using dividers and taps.
Attention!!!
To get a high quality transmission performance, we recommend you to feed in si-
gnals with a power level of at least 80dBµV.
OCS409 is a cascadable device. To avoid ingress and noise in your installation
we recommend you to terminate all open cascading outputs by provided termina-
tion resistors.

OCS409 User manual
4.2 System expansion
If there are not enough outlets, the expansion of an existing multiswitch system to several
rooms can look like it is shown below:
System structure before
The task is to add additional ports to an
existing multiswitch system.
System structure after
Like it is shown in the left picture it is
very easy to expand the system by using
the OCS409 and several dividers.
The dividers should be at least di-
ode decoupled to prevent connected
receivers to disturb themselves.
In general the output part of OCS409
needs no control voltages. The system is
DC free in this part.

OCS409 User manual
5 Initial operation
The OCS409 is delivered in a configuration, which enables you to receive 9 transponders of
ASTRA 19.2◦east.
Therefore you have to connect the inputs of OCS409 as followed:
•Input 1 = vertical, Low-Band
•Input 2 = horizontal, Low-Band
•Input 3 = vertical, High-Band
•Input 4 = horizontal, High-Band
If you use Quad-Switch-LNB, the assignment is unimportant, because the control voltage put-
ted out refers to the right polarisation plane.
Below you can find all listed programs that you can receive without doing any transponder
search.
By this an immediate function control of OCS409 is possible.
For configuration of additional transponders, please follow instructions in chapter 8.2 .
!!! Please do not forget to terminate LNB outputs by provided resistors. !!!!

7 Programming the OCS409
Programming the OCS409 is very easy and needs no specialists.
If a USB stick (e.g. included in delivery) is connected to the USB port of the OCS409, the contained con-
figuration data or software updates will be verified, loaded and programmed into the device.
During the data transfer and programming LED flashes green. After the transfer is finished, the device is
reinitialised. Therefore the first self check will be done (LED flashes yellow). Then device programs itself with
the new data. During this time the LED flashes always green. If the process is finished successful, LED stops
flashing and lights statically green.
Now you can disconnect the USB stick. During the data transfer and programming all actions are logged
to a file (LOG - file) stored on the stick.
If programming fails, LED flashes red for longer time (about 20sec.). If this signalisation time is elapsed,
LED starts to light statically green. This means that the former case was reactivated and the system works in
the last configuration.
If the LED lights statically red, you have to disconnect the device from power for a couple of seconds. The
device resets.
If there was a detected error during the configuration, this process can be redone by disconnecting and re-
connecting to the mains electricity supply (please wait about 10sec. after disconnecting).
If it is not possible to configure the device successfully after multiple tries, please look on the LOG-File
(OCS409ER.LOG) created on the flash-drive. You will find here all listed actions that have been done. This file
is readable on a PC as a normal text file.
LED-Status
Green static Device is ready operable.
Green flashes Device is busy, makes his initialisation, loads, stores or verifies data.
Yellow flashes Device runs self-test. During this you can check LNB control voltages, which will
stepped through on all LNB inputs at same time.
Red flashes Error is occurred. After about 10 sec. the last operable condition will be restored.
Red static Device is in an error case. Reset the device by temporarily removing the power adaptor
from the wall socket. If this leads again to a static red light, please contact the support
(www.fseg.eu).

Now select the polarisation plane for the connected satellite.
For this observe following denotation:
Vertical Low =>14Volt, no 22kHz signal (Low Band)
Horizontal Low =>18Volt, no 22kHz signal (Low Band)
Vertical High =>14Volt, 22kHz signal (High Band)
Horizontal High =>18Volt, 22kHz signal (High Band)
Notice: In some satellite lists are information about High- or Low-Band missing.
For this: all transponders with frequencies
below 11.700 MHz belongs to the Low Band (LO-frequency 9.750 MHz) and all
greater than 11.700MHz belongs to the High Band (LO-frequency 10.600 MHz).
Now you have configured the inputs.
To configure the output, please first select the preconfigured input (selected LNB), which con-
tains the polarisation level with your wanted program.

Helpful is a transponder list of the satellite. You can get this from the satellite provider (e.g.
by the Internet). In such lists you can see on which polarisation plane has to be selected for
the desired program.
The example of transponder list provided by ASTRA.
You need the symbol rate for manual programming of the receiver.
Next please select the centre frequency of the preferred input transponder. While scrolling
through the frequency-list the associated program information will be displayed in the text-box
next to the frequency-list.
If you have selected an input marked as „user-defined“, you have to read out the centre fre-
quency of your chosen input transponder manually from the provider list and insert the 5 digit
frequency in the field SAT-Frequency (MHz).

Finally select the output transponder. In the brackets there are corresponding centre frequen-
cies.
Notice: As lower the transponder number is, as lower is the output frequency. The attenuation
of the distribution system (cables and other equipment) is lower on the lower frequencies and by
this the quality of lower transponder number is higher. Especially for older installations, most
important programs should be placed to the first output transponder.
Click or button if you have selected the frequency which contains
your desired programs.
Selected data and the program content of the transponder (if it is a preconfigured satellite)
will be shown in overview-text-box.
