Cascadable single-cable multi-switch with 5 inputs (1 x terrestrial passive and 4 x SAT), 2 dCSS/dSCR subscriber outputs that support the SCR I (EN50494) and SCR II (EN 50607) standards as well as "Legacy Mode." This allows both new and existing receivers to be operated.
Dynamic mode: All transponders from a satellite can be received. Up to 16 subscribers (according to EN 506+D1607) can be supplied per output via a single cable.
With the exclusive DCFLEX functionality, the multi-switch has the flexibility to be powered from anywhere in the system. This allows the installer to choose the best power supply option for the specific installation. A switch (DC LINK) can be set to determine whether the multi-switch is isolated from the power supply of a cascading system or not.
Highlights
- 2 outputs for up to 16 subscribers per output
- DCFLEX functionality
- Can be powered in 3 ways: via a power supply, through the SAT lines, or through the receiver outputs
- Easy to integrate into an existing installation. By turning off the SAT DC LINK, the multi-switch is powered locally (or via the STB) when the power supply is connected, without burdening the cascade
- Increased safety for the receivers when the multi-switches are disconnected from the power supply of the cascade (RECEIVER POWER OFF). When the switch is ON, the connected receivers provide power to the single-cable multi-switch
- The switch TERR.DC ON disconnects or connects the power supply from the cascade in the terrestrial path. This can be useful for powering a mast amplifier or a BOSS antenna, as well as for the terrestrial branches of other multi-switches in a cascade
- With a power consumption of 10V to 20V, the dCSS multi-switches are compatible with many on the market.
