1. Introduction

Relaying satellite signals from the rooftop dish to multiple recei-

vers around the home, Digital Video Recorders (DVR) or throug-

hout an apartment block is an expensive proposition for system

installers. The Unicable multiswitch F MULTI 15 addresses this

problem by combining up to two input signals onto a single cable.

These signals are then decoded by a corresponding number of

tuners, potentially distributed across many set-top boxes.

4. Installation

1. Please refer above installation diagram in selection 3 to
install your system.

2. Power on all receivers and 18 V DC power adapter.

3. If power from receivers and 18 V DC power adapter exist,
green LED on multiswitch should be turn on.

4. Any DiSEqC commands between receivers and multiswitch,

 greenLEDwillbeashing.

5. If no power from receivers, multiswitch will be turn off.
Green LED will be turn off and it means F MULTI 15 is
turned off to power-saving mode.

6. No matter how the power is, the terrestrial signal is passive
and always working.

7. Setup in receiver menu:
Please refer to the manual of your receiver to enter the settings..

• Select the satellite you wish to receive.

• Select the LNB type as Unicable LNB or Unicable Multiswitch.

• Select for the rst receiver the following settings User ID:
0, User Band: 1210 MHz

• for the second receiver User ID: 1, User Band: 1420 MHz

• Start the search. After completion, save all program locations.
