SAFETY
The Whyte Series 5 Lite 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 125 or
167 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 against defects. Within this guarantee period, Whyte Technologies
will repair or replace the faulty product. In the unlikely event, please return
any faulty products to your dealer.
The Guarantee will be deemed as void if the serial number on the product
is removed, damaged or illegible. The Guarantee excludes defects caused by
incorrect use, accidental damage, disassembly, water/re/lightning damage or
lack of venlaon.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Whyte Series 5 Lite Mulswitch range is ideal for SAT and TERR
distribuon in domesc installaons and small apartment blocks. This high
quality Mulswitch is compable with Quad or Quaro LNB’s and comes in
a range of models including 8, 12, 16, 24 and 32-Way output. The Whyte
Series 5 Lite range is RED compliant and has a built in selectable 4G/5G lter
for excellent rejecon of LTE signals.
The Whyte Series 5 Lite range features superior low-noise performance
and comes complete with a separate Power Supply Unit. This enables these
Mulswitches to be powered locally or remotely, via an extended coaxial
cable. In addion, there is a TERR gain switch and a switchable 12V supply to
power a masthead amplier where required.
Features include:

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 Series 5 Lite range is RED Compliant and provides a nominal gain of
2dB(±2dB) for Satellite and 10dB(±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 switchable 4G/5G lter is ed to avoid interference from
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 TERR
gain can be set to 0dB or 10dB via the TERR Gain Switch.
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
Corner Brackets, secure the Mulswitch using the supplied xing screws or
other xing 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 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. Matching
Whyte Technologies Earth Bonding bars for your Mulswitch are available
from Whyte Technologies distributors.

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 AC
(110V AC) 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.
