can you use a dp34 switch on a 1000.2 dish?

[fairlaidy]

i been having signal problems with a dish pro 1000.2 i been reading that you need a dp44 switch to power on the lnb but my question is can you use a dp34 also or no.

thanks

a dp34 would not help with power

An old Dish 311 receiver will also power the dish, or just the DP 44 power inserter will work, you don't need the whole switch and power inserter.

I have 3 stb connected to the dish 1000.2 right now so what's my best option thanks

If you have 3 receivers connected to the D1000 LNB, only the first receiver connected to the LNB port #1 will be supplying the DC voltage and current to run the LNB, the other receivers will do nothing.

The D1000 LNB takes anywhere from 600 to 700 mA of DC current to run it right,(more if your using the LNB input) look over your receivers, on the back where the LNB connects to the receiver you will see it's DC current rating, if they all say 500 mA then your going to need the power inserter.

If one says that it is over 500 mA then move that receiver to the #1 port, this receiver will run the LNB just fine.(it should be 600 to 750 mA or better)


Now if you have 3 receivers you can install the DPP 44 switch and power inserter, this will give you 1 extra receiver port, and will resolve your DC power problems.

I recommend that the DP power inserter for the switch be run on it's own coax to the #1 receiver port of the switch, this by passes any possible problems that could come up by using the power inserter in-line with an FTA receiver.

(Others will come along and say you don't need to do this, it is my professional opinion to do it the way I posted)

The nice thing about using the DPP 44 switch is that you can add a second or third switch to the first one, (this is called "cascading" this will give you up to 9 receivers ports to use.(12 if the receivers can handle the DC power inserter)

thanks Terryl for this usefull info im out of luck the 3 stb that i have running right now say 500ma the only one that it says 1000ma is a nfusion phoenix that im not using i been reading that i can use it with noi or servpro but i dont know how set it up yet so im thinking about it if i setup the nfusion or buy the dp44.

thanks again

The power inserter has been known to interfere with the diseqc signals from the FTA receivers, so I would definately do it this way as well.

You could also use the nfusion pheonix in place of the power inserter on port one of the 1000.2 as Terryl has described.

yeah i just setup the nfusion with noi now i have to find out where is port1 now does the nfusion has to be turn on all the time for the others stb to work.

thanks

Looking at the LNB's eye's the #1 port is on the far left.

And yes the primary receiver supplying the DC power to the LNB has to be on for the others to work.
14943 This photo shows the ports, this one is for when its used with a DPP44 switch, you connect the primary receiver to the one marked 119.

ok so i got it in the right port without looking because the nfusion is turn on right now and i got good signal on the other 2 stb other wise the other 2 stb wouldn't be working right.

Hi terryl can you look at this thread for me i guess i was running that dish so long without a power supply that might damage power board capacitor. if you can thanks
