Model: S. 160-CP-16 (13 in - 16 Out Powered) Multi-switches with 13 inputs and up to 16 outputs. All types are DiSEqC 2.0 compatible devices for indoor use with an integrated power supply. It allows use of 3 Quatro or up to 6 Dual or Twin LNBs, while each of the subscribers can view all channels from the connected antennas. Input level can be set by attenuators in a range of 15 dB. Using a built-in switch, it is also possible to send the command ?22 kHz? to up to 4 selected SAT inputs for high band continuously; in this case it is possible to connect also Twin Universal or Quad LNBs to the inputs of satellite systems A&B. Please note that it is not possible to send 22 KHz tone to inputs for satellite system C and therefore we don't recommend to install Quad LNBs for SAT system C. Stand-by mode: All multi-switches of S.160 series are equipped with an LNB power supply control system. The system reduces the power taken from the power supply by feeding only those LNBs whose signals are received by the connected subscribers at a time. So the power consumption may be reduced to approx. 10 VA (depending on the multi-switch type). 13 inputs distribution system for up to 16 subscribers with a built-in amplifier for terrestrial input. Important Notes: We have not tested this switch with Dish Pro LNBFs. (Any LNBFs with built-in switch may not work.) We have only tested this switch for FTA receivers. This switch is powered and works in Canada/USA. When connecting/disconnecting receivers, you MUST unplug the receivers, otherwise switch can be shorted. This switch must be installed indoor (If you are planning to use this switch outdoor then it MUST be installed in proper housing, so water won't get in. Please note that warranty is void if damaged by water.) You must have DUAL PORT (exit) LNBFs to make this work. You will take 2 cables from each LNBF.
