5 satellites using a diseqc switch and a 22 Khz switch



22 KHz Switch

On your receiver you will see a selection in Antenna setup called 22KHz the default setting is always off. By connecting a 22 KHz switch to your setup you can get a fifth satellite by using one port on the diseqc connected to a port on the diseqc switch and that port is used twice on your receiver one time with 22KHz on and the other time with 22KHZ off.



In the above example port A (port 1) has a 22Khz switch with satellite 75 22Khz on and satellite 4 with 22Khz off. There you have it 5 satellites using a diseqc switch and a 22 Khz switch



Above is a 22Khz switch that has 2 diseqc switches connected to its output one diseqc switch port 1 through 4 is 22 KHz on and the other diseqc switch ports 1 through 4 is 22 Khz off. This switch by passes the diseqc switch command and is a special 22 KHz switch, in our products section under switches this is the switch that is described as a Bypass diseqc command 22Khz Switch.

Using a 22 Khz switch allows us to connect more than 4 satellites to one receiver. With Dual LNBs you can repeat the same setup for another Free to air Receiver. But this only takes you to 2 receivers now what happens when you have more than 2 receivers that you wish to connect?
