Triax 8, 12 and 16 way multiswitches





The top and right hand pictures show the 5 in and 16 out unit. The left hand picture is a 5 in and 8 out unit.
Designed to be used with a Quatro LNB. 5 in 8 out, 5 in 12 out and 5 in and 16 out
i.e. aerial and the 4 LNB connections in make up the 5 in. Built in power supply.
Use with a Quatro LNB to provide a dish point in every room in a block of flats, or office etc.
Our technical support line for our customers is able to provide
advice on the installation of all multiswitches.

Triax 5 in and 5 out IF Amp.



Goes before the multiswitch to provide amplification. This unit is especially recommended
when a splitter (see below) is used. Takes the feeds from a quatro LNB and an aerial
feed and amplifies them. This unit takes its power from the multiswitch.

Triax 5 in and 10 out IF Splitter.



This unit goes before the multiswitch to split the 4 signals from a quatro LNB
and the aerial feed to two multiswitches. This then allows more than
16 outputs to be made available.
e.g. feeds two 16 out multiswitches to provive 32 outputs. When using a splitter
it is recommended that a 5 in and 5 out amp (see above) is fitted before
(in front of) the splitter.
e.g. The quatro LNB and aerial feeds the amp (1 UHF and 4 IF signals) and the
amp feeds the splitter (1 UHF and 4 IF signals) then the splitter with
(2 UHF and 8 IF signals) two sets of 1 UHF and 4 IF signals feeds two
16 output multiswitches. This unit is passive and does not need a power supply.
It is important to use it with the 5 in and 5 out amp above.

Important Information.
There is nothing difficult in fitting multiswitch systems. We can provide our customers with the technical
information needed. Mostly it is a wiring job and the multiswitch etc. side of it is easy to understand.
The cost of the parts is not expensive and the myths around this subject are false. It is easier
than you think. Satellite Superstore used to fit this equipment to schools, colleges,
blocks of flats etc. before we became 100% mail order. Out technical advice is based on
many years of experience with these products.

Multiswitches with 2 satellite inputs.

9 in 8 out Multiswitch.



Powered multiswitch. Built in power supply. Plug into 220/240 volts.
This multiswitch has 9 inputs. Two quatro LNBs (pointing at two different satellites)
feed into eight of the inputs. A terrestrial aerial feeds into the ninth input
Diseqc switching between the two satellites is built into the multiswitch.
The 8 outputs go to 8 satellite receivers. Each satellite receiver can access
both satellites.
If Astra 2 at 28E is connected to "quatro LNB input number 1" the switches default to this
input and so even though a Sky receiver does not have Diseqc switching, if connected
to an output (via a plate on the wall) it will receive 28E automatically. This means
that Sky receivers and CI Diseqc receivers can all be connected to any output.
Sky receivers will receive 28E (only) and CI receivers both satellites.

advice on the installation of all multiswitches.

Multiswitches with 4 satellite inputs.

17 in multiswitches with power supply.



This 6 out multiswitch has 17 inputs. Four quatro LNBs (pointing at four different satellites)
feed into 16 of the inputs. A terrestrial aerial feeds into the 17th input
Diseqc switching between the two satellites is built into the multiswitch.
The 6 outputs go to 6 satellite receivers (or 3 twin tuner receivers).
Each satellite receiver can access all satellites.
See additional notes below.

Triax IFE30 Amplifier.



Goes before the multiswitch to provide UHF amplification. The 17 input multiswitches only
have passive UHF circuitry and the loss through the unit is 24dBs. The IFE30 amplifier
makes up for this loss. In simple terms, if an aerial is routed through a 17 input multiswitch
the 24 DB loss is likely to produce poor UHF (aerial) pictures. With the IFE30 amplifier
boosting the signal before it enters the aerial input of the multiswitch, the loss through the
multiswich is fully compensated. Indeed there will even be a small gain. If the multiswitch
is only used for satellite and the aerial is not to be sent down common down leads,
the amp is not then needed.

TV, FM radio and DAB combiner.



Multiswitches have an aerial input and 4 satellite inputs for the quatro LNB.
It may be that a TV aerial, an FM aerial and a DAB (digital radio aerial) need to be combined to
go into the one Aerial input of a multiswitch. This product does that (3 in and 1 out)
Since it may be preferable to combine the three aerials on the roof, this unit is designed for
outdoor use and is waterproof. If only two of the three aerials are needed, the third input
can be ignored. It is idea for feeding aerials into any of the multiswitches we sell.
Inside of the multiswitch the satellite feeds and the aerials are combined down one cable to each room.
Inside the room is the TV, radio and satellite output plate which separates satellite from the UHF aerials
These outlet plate is below.

Problems of using more than one diseqc switch
with multiple LNBs
One our web site you will find 2, 3 and 4 LNBs on one fixed dish
See 2, 3 or 4 satellites on 1 fixed dish
You will also find options for the fitting of a twin or quad LNB as a substitution
with ONE of the 3 or 4 LNBs so that a popular satellite can go to several receivers.
e.g. putting a twin or quad in the 28E position so that a Sky digibox or Sky + can
be connected as well as the CI receiver to that LNB That means the CI receiver and the
Sky box both are connected to 28E but the CI receiver is also connected to other
satellites through ONE diseqc switch.
You will not find on our site 2.3 or 4 satellite kits with twin or quad LNBs and
more than one diseqc switch to either two receivers or a twin tuner receiver.
REASON.
Whilst it should all work in theory, in practice
(depending on the combination of switch positions) you can get no signal on a
satellite when it should all work. This is because twin LNBs and Quad LNB should
be fully connected to work properly. It may be OK to connect to two outputs of a quad
but you have to experiment to find out which two. With a twin, one side has a good
connection to the internal power supply circuit and the other is almost like a passive
device and relies on power from the second receiver to work properly
If you connect two or more diseqc switches, they take power away from some of the
outputs of the twin or quad LNBs (depending on the switching at the time) and
things go wrong.
IS THERE A SOLUTION?
Yes there is - a new solution - but quite expensive. It will be on our site soon as
an option on all of the twin tuner receiver pages eventually but see it at multiswitches
The 9 in and 6 out and the 17 in an 6 out ...etc. This is a product designed to
do the job. Quatro LNBs must be used but all the switching is done inside the unit
and there are no power issues
