Thank you for purchasing Inverto’s advanced Unicable II multiswitch and we are certain it will
meet your expectations. Before installing and operating the product, please read the following
instructions and recommendations. We suggest that you keep this manual for future use.
Warranty
This Unicable II multiswitch is designed for the distribution of satellite and terrestrial television
and radio signals in home installations. The warranty does not apply for products used for other
purposes than those specified herein. The user/installer shall be responsible for any damage in-
curred as a result of not using the product according to the instructions in this manual.
Installation location
The product shall be installed on a wall or other hard inflammable surface.
The product shall be in no case held only with the connected cables.
Place the product in a dry environment where it is not exposed to rain or running water.
Do not install the product close to heat sources or in places exposed to direct sunlight.
Product installation
The following diagram may assist you when drilling the holes:
To connect the product inputs and outputs use high-quality coaxial
cables and F-connectors designed for satellite TV distribution. Use a
highly shielded coaxial cables with minimum shielding of 90dB.
If you use wall sockets to loop-through the STB outputs, make sure
the wall sockets were designed for satellite TV distribution allowing
bidirectional signal propagation.
The satellite input ports can be connected directly to a Quattro LNB
(pay attention to the port designations - Ver/Low, Ver/High Hor/Low,
Hor/High) or two wide-band LNBs or cascade to another Multiswitch
unit.
The multiswitch can be powered by STBs connected to its output ports.
If the connected STB is not able to supply the required current, a power
inserter* can be used. Alternatively, the Multiswitch can be powered
over its DC In port* or over any of its output trunk lines (e.g. from a cascaded unit).
In installations that require only one Multiswitch unit, power supplied over the STB output ports
can be passed on to power the LNB by setting the manual switch (SW2) to ON. The switch shall
be set to OFF in cascade installations otherwise the connected STB will have to power all the units
it cascades to.
The Multiswitch features a TERRESTRIAL input with a built-in amplifier. The amplifier can be
activated by setting the manual switch SW1 to ON and disabled when set to OFF. The amplifier
amplifies the terrestrial signal that passes on to both the STB output ports and the terrestrial
loop-through output port.
Upon power up and if power is supplied to the unit over its DC In port or any of its trunk output
lines (i.e. no power is supplied to any of the STB ports), the unit will enter into a high-power test
mode for 15 seconds. The power diagnosis LED will light green if the power supplied to the unit
is sufficient to support a full load (i.e. activate all user bands and power the LNB) and will turn
orange if not (in this case, connect an AC/DC adapter to the DC In port of the unit).
* Power Inserter and AC/DC power adapters are not included and can be purchased separately.

Notes:
For optimal performances, satellite loop-through outputs that are not used shall be terminated
with 75ohm DC-block terminating resistors. The Terrestrial loop-through output port shall be
terminated with a 75ohm terminating resistor. It is also recommended to terminate unused STB
output ports with 75ohm terminating resistors.

Product configuration and default parameters
Each of the four STB output ports is compatible with either Legacy (13/18VDC, 0/22kHz),
DiSEqc1.x/2.0, EN50494 or EN50607 STB models and can detect automatically what type of
STB is connected to each port. By default, each port supports 16 User Bands. The list of the User
Bands’ default parameters appears on page 7.
The Multiswitch unit has a Port Status LED next to each of the four STB ports.
The status LED identifies the mode of the port:
- solid green = Legacy mode.
- blinking green = Unicable (SatCR, EN50494) or Unicable II (dCSS, EN50607).
- blinking red/green - power diagnosis mode.
- off = no voltage detected on the port (only terrestrial signal available on the port)
All the four STB output ports combine the Terrestrial input signal.
Note: The default configuration of the Multiswitch can be updated using Inverto’s Programmer
device (not supplied with the product and sold as a separate accessory) and a PC Windows soft-
ware that can be downloaded from www.inverto.tv.

The following diagram describes a typical single household installation based on the default
configuration of the product:
Connect the cables from the Quattro LNB to the input connectors marked with LNB V/L, V/H, H/
Land H/H inputs (pay attention to identification of the Quattro LNB connectors). The multiswitch
is equipped with Terrestrial input. Connect the Terrestrial antenna to the Terrestrial input port.

Note: The four satellite installation requires the output ports of the two Multiswitch units to be
connected to an external combiner as shown in the diagram (to provide for DiSEqC 2.0 com-
munication, the combiner should support bidirectional pass through for DC and 22kHz signals).
Connect the cables from the Wideband LNBs to the input connectors marked with Satellite A/C
Vertical and Horizontal and Satellite B/D Vertical and Horizontal (pay attention to identification of
the Wideband LNB connectors). Connect the Terrestrial antenna cable to the Terrestrial input port

Safety
Never open a powered product. This may result in electrical hazard.
Never work on the product, TV set or other powered devices during or before a storm. A light-
ning strike into the antenna may cause dangerous over-voltage over the product’s metallic/con-
ductive parts.
Make sure the local electricity network corresponds to the operating voltage of the AC/DC
adapter. If the products gets into contact with liquid it must be disconnected from the main
power. It is recommended to disconnect the product from the main power if it is not used for
long periods of time.
When disconnecting the product don’t pull the cable but the plug to prevent damage of the

9
cable (wobbly plugs and outlets result in fire risk).
The product shall be serviced by qualified experts only.
Troubleshooting
Make sure the satellite antenna and LNB are properly fixed, connected and adjusted and that the
satellite receivers are installed, connected and switched on according to available instructions. En-
sure there is no short circuit on the product inputs. This will prevent power to the LNB. If this is the
case, disconnect the product from the main power, and then find and remove the short circuit on
the product inputs. Then re-connect the multiswitch to the main power. Frequent defects are in
connector joints i.e. if the central conductor is too short and fails to make contact in the connector.
Also the shielding braid should make proper contact with the connector coat. Sometimes a reset
to the multiswitch microprocessor is sufficient to remove a fault: simply disconnect the multiswitch
from main power for 30 seconds and then reconnect again. If you are unable to remove the fault
yourself, please contact your distributor.
Disposal
Following relevant EU directives, this device shall not be disposed of together with municipal
waste. Use local waste collection and recycling systems to dispose wore out products.
