• Provides RHCP and LHC switching for 8
receivers

• Combines TV input with satellite
input

• Ideal for smaller systems

Description

The TSMS-2150X-8AUV is a 14V/18V satel­lite multi-switch used in all applications that
require satellite I.F. distribution from 950 ­2150 MHz. It will allow the user to take two
LNB outputs and provide inputs to a maximum

• Input selected by 14V/18V from satellite
receiver employing right and left hand
circular polarization

• Power adapter supplies power to LNB's

sixteen receivers. The TSMS-2150X-8AUV routes

of
any of the inputs to any of the outputs by utilizing the
14V/18V switching control from the satellite receiv­ers. The TSMS-2150X-8AUV provides an excellent
way to simplify any SMATV installation.

1. Connect the RHCP LNB output and the LHCP LNB output to the RHCP(13/14V) and LHCP(17/18V)
inputs respectively of the TSMS-2150X-8AUV.

3. Connect the broadband antenna to the ANT IN on the back of the unit.

4. Connect each of the output ports on the back of the unit to a TSDM antenna/satellite
diplexer. Connect the TSDM output port to the appropriate input, tv and/or receiver If a broadband
antenna is not used then omit the TSDM diplexer and connect the receivers directly to the
TSMS-2150X-8AUV output ports

5. Plug the wall adaptor 3.5mm plug into the jack located in the back of the unit. Plug the adaptor into a
120Vac, 60Hz wall receptacle.

6. Each of the satellite receivers can select programs in either right or left hand circular polarities.
To select a right hand circular polarity, a 13/14 DC voltage is used and to select a left
hand circular polarity, a 17/18 DC voltage is used.
