SAFETY
The Mulswitches are intended for indoor use only. Do not install the
Mulswitch in damp, humid, hot or dusty areas.
Switch o and remove the power supply when making connecons to the
Mulswitch to avoid damaging the unit.
Always earth bond the Mulswitch using the earth bonding lug and/or the
earth terminal bars to a suitable earth bonding point using minimum 4mm²
diameter earth cable.
PRECAUTIONS
To ensure trouble free operaon:
Do not remove the cover of the Mulswitch or disassemble it as this will
invalidate the guarantee.
The female F connectors on this unit were designed for use with '100' type
coaxial cable with a centre core diameter of 1mm². When using larger CT125
or CT167 cables, you must ensure that suitable F connectors with reducing
pins are used otherwise damage to the unit will occur which will invalidate the
guarantee.
Do not over ghten the F connectors (nger ght only).
GUARANTEE
All Whyte products are guaranteed for a period of 24 months from the date of
purchase.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Whyte Series 5 Lite Mulswitches are compable with Quad and Quaro
LNB’s. The inputs are colour coded for ease of installaon which is especially
useful when using a Quaro LNB. For convenience, exisng satellite dishes
which are already ed with a Quad LNB may be used, whereby the drop
cables can be connected to the SAT inputs in no parcular order.
The 5 Lite range provides a nominal gain of 0dB(±2dB) for Satellite and
3dB(±2dB) Terrestrial Recepon. To facilitate the recepon of FM and DAB
radio at the outlets, the FM and DAB aerials must be combined with the
Terrestrial TV Aerial using a Triplexer. The combined signals are then connected
the TERR input of the Mulswitch.
A high rejecon LTE lter is ed to avoid interference from 4G LTE signals.
If required, a Terrestrial mast amplier can be powered via the mulswitch by
seng the 12V switch to the “ON” posion. If a mast amplier is not being
used, this switch must be le in the “OFF” posion.
The Power Supply Unit provided must be connected to the 18V DC Input. This
will power the Mulswitch as well as provide power to the Satellite LNB inputs.
A maximum of 500mA LNB power is available which enables the use of a line
powered launch amplier if required.
If a local mains supply is not available such as in los and outdoor cabinets, the
Power Supply Unit may be conveniently ed elsewhere whereby the 18V DC
F-Type lead can be extended using coaxial cable.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
MOUNTING THE MULTISWITCH
Select a suitable locaon to install the Mulswitch. Do not install the
Mulswitch in damp, humid, hot or dusty areas. Using the screw slots on the

www.whytetechnologies.com 7
Corner Brackets, secure the Mulswitch using the appropriate xing screws
and wall plugs to suit the relevant wall surface or cabinet.
CONNECTING THE SAT & TERR INPUT CABLES
Use a suitably sized Satellite Dish to provide adequate signal levels from the
satellite being received. Ensure that the Satellite Drop Cables are connected
correctly in the corresponding order with respect to the LNB and the
Mulswitch SAT inputs (Quaro LNB only). Ensure that the F Connectors are
properly sealed against water ingress.
If a Composite Cable (mul core coaxial cable) has been used, ensure that the
outer jacket is not facing upwards and cannot collect rain water. Check the
Terrestrial Drop Cable and ensure that this has also been sealed against water
ingress. If a Triplexer has been used to combine FM and DAB aerials with the
UHF Terrestrial Aerial, ensure that this is also water ght. Ensure that all drop
cables have drip loops prior to their entering the building.
Connect the SAT and TERR drop cables to the corresponding Satellite & TERR
Inputs of the Mulswitch.
CONNECTING THE SUBSCRIBER CABLES
Terminate the Subscriber Cables with good quality F Connectors and connect
to the Subscriber Outputs. The F Connectors should be ed to the coaxial
cable correctly, ensuring that the centre core protrudes 3mm above the F
Connector body. See gure 3 (on page 8). Ensure that you do not exceed the
bending radius of the Coaxial Cable being used.
The Subscriber Cables may be arranged either side of the Mulswitch before
being terminated and connected. If required, the Subscriber Cables may be
arranged to one side of the Mulswitch, with the cables passing under the
Mulswitch before being terminated and connected to the Subscriber Outputs
on the opposite side. See gure 4 (on page 8). Always use CAI approved high
quality coaxial cable.

EARTH BONDING
Earth bond the Mulswitch to the Earth Bonding Lug using minimum 4mm²
Earth Bonding Cable. Make sure that the Earth Bonding Cable is connected
directly to the building’s PME (Protecve Mulple Earthing) point.
CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY UNIT (PSU)
The PSU must be xed to the relevant wall surface using the appropriate xings.
Connect the DC F-type lead to the 18V DC Input of the Mulswitch.
Once all connecons have been made, connect the plug to a 240V socket to
power up the Mulswitch. If a local mains supply is not available such as in
los and outdoor cabinets, the Power Supply Unit may be conveniently ed
elsewhere whereby the 18V DC F-Type lead may be extended using coaxial
cable.
Connecting the Subscriber Cables
Terminate the Subscriber Cables with good quality F Connectors and connect to the Subscriber
Outputs. The F Connectors should be fitted to the coaxial cable correctly, ensuring that the centre
core protrudes 3mm above the F Connector body. See figure 3. Ensure that you do not exceed the
bending radius of the Coaxial Cable being used. The Subscriber Cables may be arranged either
side of the Multiswitch before being terminated and connected. If required, the Subscriber Cables
may be arranged to one side of the Multiswitch, with the cables passing under the Multiswitch before
being terminated and connected to the Subscriber Outputs on the opposite side. See figure 4.
Always use CAI approved high quality coaxial cable.
Connecting the Power Supply Unit (PSU)
The PSU must be fixed to the relevant wall surface using the appropriate fixings. Connect the DC F-
type lead to the 18V DC Input of the Multiswitch.
Once all connections have been made, connect the plug to a 240V socket to power up the
Multiswitch. If a local mains supply is not available such as in lofts and outdoor cabinets, the Power
Supply Unit may be conveniently fitted elsewhere whereby the 18V DC F-Type lead may be extended
using coaxial cable.
