2 Technical Specifications

The products are standalone multiswitches for distribution of terrestrial and satellite signals from
1 satellite position (4 polarities) for 4 (MS5/4PIU-4), 6 (MS5/6PIU-4), 8 (MS5/8PIU-4), 12
(MS5/12PIU-5) or 16 (MS5/16PIU-5) users. Multiswitches are controlled from receiver by
analogue commands. It is enabled to switch on active or passive mode of terrestrial band.
Multiswitches are compatible with quad LNB. Terrestrial input can supply terrestrial antenna
preamplifier with DC voltage, the supply is electronically protected against short-circuit.
Multiswitches are powered from internal power supply P1U27.
