LNC ARRANGEMENTS ________________________________________________________ On the following pages the LNC arrangments available are explained. LNC arrangement 1 (one single LNC) Connection of an LNC with a single oscillator frequency (single LNC). Example: to receive programmes from the Astra satellite. LNC arrangement 2 (two single LNCs or one universal LNC ) Two single LNCs 2 single LNCs See Fig.
Page 40
LNC ARRANGEMENTS ______________________________________________________________ LNC arrangement 3 (choose between satellites with ToneBurst (Mini-DiSEqC) signal) Two universal LNCs :change between satellite A and B using a ToneBurst switch (Mini-DiSEqC) oscillator frequency for the lower frequency range, – oscillator frequency for the upper frequency range. See also diagram on page 45.
Page 41
LNC ARRANGEMENTS ______________________________________________________________ DiSEqC switch (up to 4 satellites) When using a DiSEqC switch, all setting options are available to you: switching between up to 4 satellites using a DiSEqC switch. A, B, C, – oscillator frequency for the lower frequency range, oscillator frequency for the upper frequency range.
For the reception of two satellites (2 aerials or 1 aerial with 2 LNB’s), it is necessary to install a 22 kHz multi-switch (e.g. GRUNDIG SVT 5/4 A) between the reception units (INPUT ). In this case dual LNB’ s should be used (e.g. GRUNDIG LNC DUAL 1). Consult your aerial installer. –A 09 .
