5. Configurazione e installazione

Follow these steps for proper installation of your Goobay 67268 SAT Multiswitch:

1. Montaggio: Select a dry, well-ventilated, and easily accessible location for mounting the multiswitch. Ensure it is protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
2. Collegamenti LNB: Connect the coaxial cables from your satellite LNBs to the corresponding SAT inputs on the multiswitch. There are 8 satellite inputs, typically labeled for two satellites (SAT 1, SAT 2) and their respective bands (Low Band Vertical, Low Band Horizontal, High Band Vertical, High Band Horizontal). Ensure correct polarity and band connections.
3. Collegamento dell'antenna terrestre: Connect the coaxial cable from your terrestrial antenna (DVB-T) to the input labeled "TER" or "Antenna".
4. Collegamenti del ricevitore: Connect coaxial cables from your satellite receivers to the "OUT" ports on the multiswitch. This model provides 16 output ports.
5. Collegamento elettrico: Once all signal cables are securely connected, plug the integrated power supply into a suitable electrical outlet.
6. Configurazione del ricevitore: Configure each connected satellite receiver to use DiSEqC 1.0 or 2.0 settings to select the desired satellite positions. Refer to your receiver's user manual for specific instructions.

Nota: For optimal performance, ensure all F-connectors are tightened securely to prevent signal loss and interference.

6. Istruzioni per l'uso

Once the multiswitch is installed and powered on, operation is primarily managed through your connected satellite receivers.

• Accensione: Ensure the multiswitch is powered on. There is typically no external power switch; it powers on automatically when connected to the mains.
• Receiver Selection: Use your satellite receiver's remote control to select channels. The receiver will send DiSEqC commands to the multiswitch to select the correct satellite and LNB band.
• Canali terrestri: Terrestrial signals connected to the "TER" input are typically combined with satellite signals and distributed to all outputs. Your receiver should be able to access these channels if it has a DVB-T tuner.

7. Manutenzione

The Goobay 67268 SAT Multiswitch requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-term performance.

• Pulizia: Pulire periodicamente l'esterno del dispositivo con un panno morbido e asciutto. Non utilizzare detergenti liquidi o materiali abrasivi.
• Verifica della connessione: Occasionally check all coaxial cable connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Loose connections can lead to signal degradation.
• Ventilazione: Assicurarsi che le aperture di ventilazione non siano ostruite da polvere o altri oggetti.
