QUAD LNB Question

[er1ckr]

Hi folks,

I am looking to verify the connection for my set up. Hope that some of you guys can lend me a hand.

I have a 36" Fortec Star Dish w/ Quad Polar LNB (QPH-031). Also, SG-2100 Motor. My intentions are to install two CONAXSAT Mini's so I purchased two DiSEqC 2.0 (EMP - Centauri P.164-IW) as per recommended by dealer.

After some reasearch I found that I need to make my connections this way: LNB > DiSEqC > Motor > Receiver. No problem...

So I am using one set of the LNB (C & L) to two inputs on switch #1 and the output of switch #1 to the motor and from the motor to the receiver #1...

The other set of the LNB (C & L) to two inputs on swith #2 and the output of switch #2 to receiver #2.

Here are my questions:
1- On the Quad LNB do I have to use any specific C & L ports for either connection?

2- Do I need to use any specific port on the switch of the four available? or can I just use 1 & 2 for both set ups?

3- How can I control the motor from both receivers with the equipment that I already own? or do i need to use a multiswitch?

Any help or recommendation will be greatly appreciated.

Regards, Erick R.

Sounds like a nice collection of hardware, and it's hooked up properly.
I've seen the Mini at the swap meet, sold by/to hackers, but don't know anything about it.

3). normally, only one receiver gets to control the motor.
2). it's preferable to use 1 so it works by default, and then 2 would be a logical second choice.
1). no - I think I'd hook input 1 of a diseqc switch to a L output, and input 2 to a C output, but that's just me.

Anole,
Thanks for the prompt feedback. I will try to finish wiring tonight.

Best Regards
