Model: SRDBS Satellite Radio / DBS TV Multiplex Kit Installation Instructions

Model: SRDBS Satellite Radio / DBS TV Multiplex Kit

This kit is designed to multiplex a 2.33 GHz satellite radio signal (either Sirius, XM or both) on the same wire used to send
DBS signals to DirecTV or DISH receivers. It includes the necessary components to inject the signal on the cable and to
remove it at the satellite TV receiver. It will operate with all legacy and standard DirecTV and DISH Network receivers and will
also operate with newer DirecTV Single Wire Multi-Switch (SWM) systems. It is only compatible with Pixel satellite radio

antennas Model PRO-500 or PRO-600. It is not recommended for use with other manufacturer’s satellite radio
antennas or antennas that are shipped with XM or Sirius radios, as damage may occur to these other antennas.

System Operation. with legacy and standard DirecTV and DISH Network Systems

Figure 1 shows the setup for use with any DBS receiver system (except DirecTV SWM-single wire multi-switch systems
shown in Figure 2). The components provided for this include the following:

SBA -1 satellite radio line amplifier

One 7.5 VDC voltage reducer

Signal combiner (all ports power passing) Model SRDBS-O
Signal splitter (one port power passing) Model SRDBS-I
3 ft F-female to SMB-plug cable
Impedance terminator

The satellite radio antenna is connected to the line amplifier shown in Figure 1 and the signal is combined wit h the satellite TV
signal that would normally be connected directly to one of the DISH or DirecTV receivers. At the DISH or DirecTV receiver the
signals are split to the satellite radio and to the satellite TV receiver

The picture below shows the signal combiner and signal splitter that are pre-assembled ready for use except that
one of the 7.5 VDC voltage reducers shown in the diagram must be removed for use with standard or legacy DBS
systems:

CAUTION: Do not plug the satellite radio antenna into any other port on the signal combiner than
that shown. The 18 V DC for the satellite TV antenna will damage the satellite radio antenna.
