DiSEqC Switch Diagrams

The most common configuration is the DiSEqC protocol 1.0 or 2.0 (can be 2 or 4 ports, respectively, can be connected to 2 or 4 satellites), all-purpose converter.

Here is the diagram of this connection:

• one antenna
• one receiver (DiSEqC 1.0)
• four universal LNB
• One 4/1 DiSEqC switch

DiSEqC 1.1 - allows you to switch between the 16 satellites. To implement this scheme must be:

• Two antennas
• one receiver (DiSEqC 1.1)
• eight universal converters
• Two 4/1 DiSEqC switch
• a DiSEqC 1.1 switch

Or use one 8-port DiSEqC 1.1

Eight heads can also be connected by a single switch 0 /12V and two 4/1 DiSEqC. To implement this scheme must be:

• Two antennas
• one receiver (DiSEqC 1.0)
• eight universal converters
• Two 4/1 DiSEqC switch
• a 0 /12V switch
• 1 wire cable

This option allows you to connect16 satellites! To do this we need:

• four antennas
• one receiver (DiSEqC 1.1)
• Sixteen universal converters
• Four 4/1 DiSEqC switch
• a DiSEqC 1.1 switch

DiSEqC 1.2 - This switch-positioner. It is often embedded within the rotator, allowing you to position the antenna to the satellite.

 

There are also many other options for the construction of systems with different numbers of satellites, heads and switches. All of them are usually chosen based on the specific problem to be solved, and the capabilities of your receiver. If you have a receiver is "old", it is likely that he will not allow to use different options to include heads. Also note that an increase in the number of switches increases and komutiruemy current that can destroy the DiSEqC.
