Q.
The receivers are only showing the odds or
evens; where is the problem? |
|
|
-
Check wiring: If the SAT C kit is installed
make sure that the Sat A is connected to
V/Low and H/Low, SAT B is connected to
V/High and SAT B/C is connected to H/High.
If it is the triple LNB dish make sure all
four leads are connected to all four
satellite inputs.
-
Make sure the LNB dial is set to 18V if
connecting directly to the LNB’s and 22kHz
if using the dish with the integrated LNB’s.
-
If the missing transponders are on the
SAT A, switch the V/Low and H/Low inputs.
- If the problem changes from odds to
evens or vice versa the problem is in the
wiring.
- If the problem stays the same connect
the V/Low input and the H/Low input directly
to the receivers and make sure all
transponders are present. If not then the
LNB is bad and if all are present the
multiswitch is bad
- If the missing transponders are on
the SAT B, switch the V/High and H/High
inputs.
- If the problem changes from odds to
evens or vice versa the problem is in the
wiring.
- If the problem stays the same connect
the V/High input and the H/High input
directly to the receivers and make sure all
transponders are present. If not then the
LNB is bad and if all are present the
multiswitch is bad.

Q. There is one feed going to a TV
location and there are two receivers/tuners
there; can I split that line? |
|
|
|
One line can not be made into two by using a
splitter. There must be one line from either the
multiswitch or the satellite dish to each
receiver/tuner. Each receiver requires its’ own
line because of the voltage it sends to the
LNB’s. You can’t put two different voltages on
the same line because one will override the
other. |
|
|
|
Q. One run is approxiamately four hundred
feet away from the multiswitch; how do I make
sure the receiver will get the satellite signal? |
|
|
|
First calculate your dB level to find out how
much amplification is needed. Then depending on
how much of a gain is required use one of the
following amplifiers: |
|
|
|
For just
satellite use: |
|
|
SVF10F –
10dB approx. 100 ft
SVF20LE
– 21dB approx. 200 ft
SVF128F –
28dB approx. 300 ft |
|
|
|
Powered
line amps for sat and off-air: |
|
|
SVN230F –
10dB for off-air
20dB for satellite
NVS126F –
20dB for off-air
26dB for satellite |
|
|
|
Q.
Is it normal for the Spaun multiswitches and
system launch amplifiers to get hot? |
|
|
|
Yes, it is normal for the equipment to get
rather warm because of the multi-layer circuit
boards that make up the equipment. In order to
decrease the physical size of the equipment the
multi-layer boards are a necessity. |
