Thank you for purchasing Inverto’s advanced Unicable multiswitch and we are certain it will meet
your expectations. Before installing and operating the product, please read the following instruc-
tions and recommendations. We suggest that you keep this manual for future use.
Warranty
This Unicable 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 pur-
poses than those specified herein. The user/installer shall be responsible for any damage incurred
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-qual-
ity coaxial cables designed for satellite reception and
F-connectors. Use a high-shielding coaxial cables with
minimum 90dB. If you use wall sockets to loopthrough
the 8 user bands, make sure the wall sockets were de-
signed for satellite reception compatible with Unicable
technology and allows bidirectional signal propagation.
The Multiswitch shall be powered using the supplied
AC/DC power adapter over its +20V DC input.

Connect the cables from the Quattro LNB to the input connectors marked with LNB V/L, V/H, H/L
and H/H inputs (pay attention to identification of the Quattro LNB connectors). The multiswitch is
equipped with Terrestrial input. Connect the Terrestrial antenna to this input:

There are two output connectors: Legacy and Unicable (marked ‘SCR’).
The Legacy output is a standard Universal switching output that allows to connect a legacy receiv-
er that is not supporting the Unicable protocol.
The Unicable (marked ‘SCR’) output allows to connect up to 8 receiver tuners – each needs to be
allocated one of the 8 user bands supported by the multiswitch.
Each receiver tuner is assigned with 1 out of 8 communication channel frequencies (user band).
The frequencies are listed on the product sticker:
User Bands:
0 : 1076.06MHz 4 : 1484.30MHz
1 : 1178.12MHz 5 : 1586.36MHz

3 : 1382.24MHz 7: 1790.48MHz
For optimized performance, please follow the recommendations below:
1. use the highest frequency for a wall socket located the nearest to the multiswitch and use
the lowest frequency for wall socket located farest to the multiswitch.
2. If you install less than 8 receiver tuners, use the lowest frequencies first. We also recommend
to keep record of the user bands allocated to the different connections as these user bands
will then have to be set in the receiver. The satellite receives connected to the Unicable (SCR)
output should be Unicable-compatible.
Note: Loopthrough outputs that are not used should be terminated with 75ohm DC-blocked
terminations.
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 overvoltage over the product’s metallic/con-
ductive parts.
Make sure the local electricity network corresponds to the operating voltage of the AC/DC adap-
tor.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 pe-
riods of time.
When disconnecting the product don’t pull the cable but the plug to prevent damage of the
cable (wobbly plugs and outlets result in fire risk).
The product shall be serviced by qualified experts only.

Tro ubleshooting
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.
