Page 3: Why Install A Dp34 Switch
Why install a DP34 Switch A DP34 switch allows you to receive signals from two or three DISH Network satellites, and route these signals to as many as four DishPro satellite receivers per switch. DP34 switches allow you to add as many as four DishPro receivers to your system by adding just one DP34 switch. - Page 4 Warning: The DP34 switch can be used only with DishPro LNBFs and DishPro receivers. DishPro products can be identified by the DishPro logo shown below. If your system has LNBFs that do not have the DishPro logo, you cannot use the DP34 Switch in your system. However, you can use the DP34 Switch if there are receivers in your system that do not have the DishPro logo if you buy a DishPro Adapter for each of these receivers.

The switch takes the place of a ground block. Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) states that you should locate a ground block as close as possible to where you have the system connected to the ground (for example, to a water pipe or rod driven in the ground).
