1. General

The 9V active distributor has been developed for the GigaSwitch series 11/20. Installation
of the 9V active makes it possible to distribute satellite signals, in combination with terre­strial resp. cable signals, to up to 240 user.
In order to ensure optimum signal quality for all user, installation should be carried out only
by trained personnel using selective measuring instruments!

2 Security notes

For your own safety, you should read the notes on safety precautions carefully before instal­ling the distributor. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by non­adherence to the safety precautions, or by inappropriate handling.
> The components must be mounted in a dry room, on flat surfaces that are not easily

inflammable.
> The ventilation slots of the components may not be covered.
> Install the unit while it is disconnected from the power supply.
> The Multiswitch must be connected to earth.
> The antenna unit must be protected against lightning strikes in accordance with local

regulations.
> All relevant European norms and VDE regulations with regard to the maintenance of

electrical safety must be complied with.
> Any specific national restrictions on the installation of broadcast receiving equipment

must be complied with.
> Do not open the equipment housing under any circumstances, as the danger of recei-

ving an electrical shock exists!!! If it is ever necessary to open the housing, this only

should be carried out by trained personnel.
In the following cases, you should disconnect the unit from the mains power, and obtain
assistance from a suitably qualified person:
> if the unit has been subjected to extreme humidity, or if liquid has entered the unit,
> if the equipment malfunctions,
> if the exterior of the unit has been severely damaged.

the 9V active distributor

Inputs

LNB In

Connect the LNB inputs of the distributor with the LNB outputs of the LNB unit(s), taking into
account the relevant polarisation planes and frequency bands. Note the maximum input
levels specified in the Technical Data section of this manual.

DC electrical power supply

The LNB inputs of the 9V active distributor take over the supply of power to the LNBs.
The power is supplied from the GigaSwitch 11/20G connected at Line 1 and Line 3 out-
puts of the 9V active.

Terrestrial/CATV

The 9V active distributor permits optional to feed in terrestrial signals via the selective
inputs “VHF, UHF and FM” or to feed in broadband signals via the “CATV In” input. Set
the function selector switch “Terr./CATV” to the appropriate application as required. Open
terrestrial inputs should be terminated by means of a 75 Ohm terminating resistor. Please
note the specified maximum input levels set out in the Technical Data section of this
manual.

Following possibilities of connections exist:

1. Direct connection of the antennas

2. Combining terrestrial antennas / feeding with broadband signals
