About your TERK MS-WB616 Multiswitch
Thank you for choosing the Terk MS-WB616 Wide Band Multiswitch. Please read through this owner’s manual so that you will know how to operate your Multiswitch properly. Always keep this owner’s manual in a safe place for future reference.
This wideband 6x16 Multiswitch is designed to expand the new Ka/Ku Out-Door Unit (ODU) from 4 outputs to 16 outputs, supporting up to 16 independently operating receivers. The Ka/Ku ODU is designed to support the latest DIRECTV A3/MPEG 4 capable HD receivers but is also compatible with all previous generations of DIRECTV receivers such as the Terk TRK-S2 (18 inch round ODU) with 2 outputs and the Terk TRK-S26 (18x20 inch oval Phase 3 triple LNB ODU) with 4 outputs.
The Terk MS-WB616 has 6 inputs. Four inputs are for the traditional 101°/110°/119°W LNBs and two additional Ka LNBs for 99°W and 103°W. The MS-WB616 also has 2 FlexPort inputs. The FlexPorts are used to interface with the dish antennas of two additional DIRECTV satellites at locations such as 72.5°W and 95°W.

Using your TERK MS-WB616 Multiswitch
• FlexPorts can only be accessed with the APG (Advanced Program Guide) satellite receiver or the A3/MPEG 4 capable HD receiver (i.e. model H20). The FlexPorts are used to interface with the dish antennas of two additional DIRECTV satellites, at locations such as 95°W,
72.5°W.
• Consult the APG satellite receiver or the A3/MPEG 4 capable HD receiver user's manuals for 6x16 setup procedures. There are differences as only the APG satellite receiver has the “Auto Configure” for detecting dish setups.
• With the APG satellite receiver, if you do not have any FlexPort connected, always use manual dish set option instead of “Auto Configure” to speed up the installation process.
• With the APG satellite receiver, if you have either 72.5°W or 95°W or input, always use FlexPort 1. If you have both 72.5°W and 95°W, use FlexPort 1 for 72.5°W and FlexPort 2 for 95°W. In multi APG IRD environment, you should run one auto-configure at a time; and before auto-configuring is running make sure the other APG IRDs are on 101°W (Channel 100 is suggested). This will reduce system acquisition time and minimize error.

Using your TERK MS-WB616 Multiswitch
• This wideband 6x16 multi-switch must never be used in a system containing a Frequency Translation Module (FTM) as the equivalent function is already contained in the FTM.
• Diplexing off-air signal can be done on the 16 outputs of the Multiswitch when used with a 18x20 Phase III or 18 inch round Dish. Diplexing shall not be used with Ka/Ku ODU since Ka-Lo band of 250 - 750 MHz occupies that frequency band. We recommend the Terk BDS-P1 diplexer for this.

Mounting your TERK MS-WB616 Multiswitch
When mounting your Terk MS-WB616 using RG-6 cable with solid-copper center conductor is required to reduce cable DC drop. Use RG-6 cables with proper exterior water-proof connectors, preferably mounting/orienting the MS-WB616 where it is shielded from rain. Use F connectors rated to at least 2150 MHz and minimize the number of F connections used to reduce reflection and signal strength drop. Terk recommends using our premium quad shielded QS series RG6 cable or equivalent.
