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.
Ensure 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.

The Unicable output allows to connect up to 4 receiver tuners – each needs to be allocated one of the
4 user bands supported by the multiswitch.
Each receiver tuner is assigned with 1 out of 4 communication channel frequencies (user band). The

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 4 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 receivers connected to the multiswitch have to
be Unicable-compatible (usually marked with Unicable™ logo).
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 lightning
strike into the antenna may cause dangerous overvoltage over the product’s metallic/conductive
parts.
Make sure the local electricity network corresponds to the operating voltage of the AC/DC adaptor.
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 cable
(wobbly plugs and outlets result in fire risk).
The product shall be serviced by qualified experts only.
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 instructions and
recommendations. We suggest that you keep this manual for future use.

Unicable Out
To connect the product inputs and outputs use high-quality
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 4 user bands, make
sure the wall sockets were designed for satellite reception
compatible with Unicable technology and allows bidirectional
signal propagation.
The switch may be powered by the connected Unicable
STBs directly or through the supplied Power Inserter and
AC adaptor. For long cable installations, it is recommended t o
use the supplied Power Inserter and the AC/DC adaptor in order to ensure proper and stable input volt-
age level. The power inserter shall be connected over the Unicable port.
