The 4 tuners receive their input signal from the outputs of a multiswitch. If no
further input is free for the converted signal at the multiswitch, the corresponding satellite band can be multiplexed with the converted signal via the LNB
input and then feed into the multiswitch. There are two fields of application for

In this example tuners A, B and D have reception (capitals), tuner C has no
reception (lower case).
The output signal (new transponder) can be fit in a gap of a SAT IF range.
Therefore the corresponding range must be connected to the LNB input. At the
RF output the SAT IF range with fit in "new" transponder is present.

3.4 retr o fitting a Ca module
The device is equipped with a common interface. It allows you to connect a
CA module for various scrambling systems and service providers. Scrambled
channels can only be descrambled with a CA module suitable for the scrambling system and the corresponding smart card. The smart card contains all
the information for authorisation, descrambling and subscription.
Caution
– Any changes made by programme providers to the structures in the pro-
gramme data might impair or even prevent this function.
– When working with the CA module, please read the corresponding operat-
ing manual from the respective provider.
• Insert the smart card into the CA module so that the chip C on the smart
card A faces the thicker side (top) of the CA module B.
• Insert the CA module into the slot D with the top side of the CA module
facing the rear side of the device.
• Push the CA module without canting into the guide rails of the CA slot D
and contact it to the common interface.

the output frequency to a gap (or the beginning/end) of the spectrum.

erator, you can cut the upper end of the frequency spectrum in order
to generate your own gap by using a filter to the LNB input 9. Our
filters lower the frequency spectrum from 1920 MHz ("GF1920")
