Product S
16/1
PCP-W3 is a multi-mode satellite DiSEqC switch, designed for connecting of up to 16 satellite converters
(LNBs) and terrestrial antenna to 1 user. Before installation, remove the product from plastic shield and connect coaxial
cables from each LNB into satellite input ports (“SAT1 IN” to “SAT16 IN”). It is recommended to write down assignment of
inputs for receiver's setup and future reference. If required, connect cable from terrestrial antenna into port “TERR IN” and use
appropriate wall socket or frequency splitter to separate satellite and terrestrial bands on user end of coaxial cable. Note: there
is no DC feed provided on terrestrial input.
Modes of operation
Set desired operation mode by means of DIP switch located on rear side of metal housing. There are four modes of operation
available:
1) DiSEqC 1.0 (committed switch - position/option A to D, available inputs 1 to 4)
2) DiSEqC 1.1 (uncommitted switch 1 to 16)
3) combined DiSEqC 1.0 & 1.1 (committed switch - position/option
A to D, uncommitted switch 1 to 4)
4) DiSEqC 1.2 (16 motor positions)
Mode selection guide
Use DiSEqC 1.1 mode, if your receiver supports uncommitted switch parameter 1 to 16. Use DiSEqC 1.0 & 1.1 mode, if your
receiver supports uncommitted switch parameter 1 to 4 only. In this case set committed switch as well. If the receiver doesn't
support DiSEqC 1.1 mode at all, use DiSEqC 1.2 mode and carry out configuration procedure for motorized antenna.
See product sticker located on plastic shield for detailed information on DIP switch levers positions (ON position is set when
the lever is pressed down) and required DiSEqC parameters.
Note: mode setting change (DIP switch levers positions) will take
affect only after reset is performed: Disconnect the product from the receiver and reconnect it again after several seconds.
Receiver's configuration procedures may. Please follow instruction manual of Your receiver.
After successful setup, reinsert metal box back into plastic cover and fix on the final position.
Extension options
In basic configuration, single universal LNBs are expected to be used with the product. For dual tuner receiver, twin LNBs
should be used along with 2 pcs of S
16/1
PCP-W3 switch. For reception on several set-top-boxes, the corresponding number
of the switches must be used and appropriate LNBs installed (twin, quad, octo).
In case of more than 16 LNB are to be switched, install 2 pcs of S
16/1
PCP-W3, configure them in DiSEqC 1.1 mode and use
suitable DiSEqC 1.0 / DiSEqC 2.0 switch for switching between S
16/1. Consult your dealer or check manufacturer's website
http://www.emp-centauri.cz for possible solutions.
Troubleshooting
If there is no signal from single LNB, while others are running, check possibility of short circuit or bad connection on affected
input. (Product itself is protected against short circuit condition on all satellite inputs.)
