The EMP-Centauri S8/1PCP-W2 (P.168-W) is a professional eight-way DiSEqC switch with an integrated terrestrial television combiner. It connects up to eight LNBs or satellite positions to one satellite receiver while combining a DVB-T/T2 antenna signal with the satellite signal.
The satellite and terrestrial signals are distributed through the same coaxial cable. At the receiver location, the signals are separated using a suitable TV/SAT outlet or diplexer. This reduces the need for parallel cabling between the satellite dish, terrestrial antenna and home.
The integrated DIP switch allows the control mode to be configured for installations using five to eight LNBs. Depending on the selected operating mode and the receiver’s capabilities, the switch supports DiSEqC 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 commands.
The product is particularly suitable for advanced multi-satellite installations using Dreambox, Enigma2 or other satellite receivers supporting the required DiSEqC commands.

🔧 Connection and Operation
Connect each LNB to a separate port marked SAT IN. Connect the terrestrial antenna to the port marked TERR, then connect the common output to the coaxial cable leading to the receiver location.
At the receiver end, separate the signals using a compatible TV/SAT outlet or diplexer:
Set the DIP switch to the mode corresponding to the number of LNBs and the receiver’s DiSEqC configuration. Follow the connection table in the product manual because input selection and commands vary between operating modes.
