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 4 years from the date of
purchase.
Whyte Series 5 Mulswitches are high gain, universally exible and are designed
to be used in small, medium and large Integrated Recepon Systems (IRS).
The Mulswitches come ed with a 4G/5G selecon switch for rejecon of LTE
interference and are compliant with the RED Direcve. Series 5 Mulswitches
are line powered but can also be used as Standalone Mulswitches when
powered directly via the18V Auxiliary Input.
Large scale Integrated Recepon Systems can easily be created by using Series

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
GENERAL
The Series 5 is a 5 Wire End of Line Mul switch range. A large number of
Mul switches can be con gured to create large IRS systems when used in
conjunc on with Launch Ampli ers, Taps and Spli ers from the Whyte Series
5 range.
The Mul switches have been designed for ease of installa on. The subscriber
ports are orientated single  le and the switch has adequate stand-o to provide
 nger space for easy termina on and servicing.
GAIN
The Series 5 range of Mul switches provide a gain of 10dB for SAT and 9dB for
TERR. All inputs come   ed with an individual Gain Control.
4G & 5G FILTERING
The range comes   ed with high rejec on 4G/5G  lters that are selectable via a
switch. The correct  lter should be selected depending on the LTE transmissions
present within the installa on area. 5G  ltering can be selected for use in 4G
areas where terrestrial channels above Ch48 are not used. This will provide
ultra high rejec on of 4G interference as well as providing future proo ng for
eventual 5G transmissions.
DC POWERING
The Series 5 range are Line Powered via the HL and HH input ports. The
Mul switches come   ed with a DC Input which enables the Mul switch to
be used in Standalone Mode when   ed with a Whyte PSU. This will power the
Mul switch as well as provide voltage to the HL & HH input ports to power an
LNB and any other connected Whyte Line Powered Mul switches or Ampli ers.
An Auxiliary DC Output is also provided. This can be used to power addi onal
devices for example, Add On Mul switches or non line powered Ampli ers and

Mulswitches. The Auxiliary DC Output port is acve whether the Mulswitch
is being Line Powered or powered directly.
A 12V DC switch is available to power a Mast Head Amplier connected to
the TERR input. If a Mast Amplier is not being used this must be le in the o
posion.
Care must be taken to select the appropriate type and number of PSU's required
depending on the current requirements of the system as a whole.
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 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 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.

Earth Bonding
Earth bond the Multiswitch 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 (Protective
Multiple Earthing) point.

CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY UNIT (PSU)
Calculate the total current consump on of the Series 5 Mul switch(es), LNB
and any Series 5 Launch Ampli ers that make up the complete IRS System. The
current consump on of the Series 5 Mul switch range can be found in the
Speci ca on sec on of this manual. If in doubt, assume the current consump on
of each LNB to be 200mA max (0.2A). Connect a suitable Whyte PSU to the
Auxiliary 18V DC Input. If more than one PSU is required, the addi onal PSU(s)
may be connected to any other Mul switch, Launch Ampli er, Tap or Spli er
within the system. When all connec ons have been made, connect the PSU
to a 240V socket to power up the IRS System. It is highly advisable to isolate
and hence divide the system in to DC Groups containing only a single PSU per
group, by using F-type DC blockers (not supplied).
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.

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. 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.
EARTH BONDING
Earth bond the Mul switch to the Earth Bonding Lug and/or the Earth Terminal
Bars using minimum 4mm² Earth Bonding Cable. It is best prac se to earth bond
across the Earth Bars of all components within a single IRS System using a single
unbroken Earth Bonding Wire. To achieve this, strip away 3cm of the insula on
of a length of 4mm² Earth Bonding Wire. See Figure 1.
Unscrew the Earth Bolt on the Earth Terminal Bar to provide enough clearance
to wrap the Earth Bonding Wire around the Earth Bolt. See Figure 2. Tighten
the Earth Bolt and route the Earth Bonding Wire to all other Earth Terminal Bars
and terminate as detailed above. Make sure that the Earth Bonding Cable is
connected directly to the building’s PME.
