S I T U AT I O N
The signals from a DIRECTV (4) polarity SLSP-F SlimLine dish with SL5 LNB, DTV66E 95 dish and a possible 6th polarity are required for multiple switches.

SD PI-6S POLARITY LOCKER

SOLUTION
Model SD PI-6S powers a DIRECTV SL5 LNB, polarity locks the four dish outputs and provides (2) 20 V outputs to power the 95 LNB on the DTV66E dish and a possible future polarity.

RELATED CONSIDERATIONS
Line powered amplifiers may be powered by the power inserter. A total of 2 amps of DC is available from the short circuit protected power transformer.

Model SD PI-6S provides voltages and control signals to power and polarity lock the LNBs. The (2) amp power supply has sufficient current to power model SD SA-6AL and model CA24R amplifiers. DC voltage indicator LEDs on the SD PI-6S glow orange for 20 volts and green for 14 volts. A single unlit LED indicates a short circuit on the input.

DIRECTV recommends that the distance between receiver and dish be less than 150 feet of solid copper RG-6. Here is why. Model SL5 LNBs employ current management to minimize the current carried per coax. (540 mA total) 18 V = 220 mA, 18V 22kHz = 220 mA, 13V = 50 mA, 13V 22kHz = 50 mA. The 18 volts originating at the SWM8 must arrive at the SL5 above 16 volts for the SL5 to operate correctly. Up to (2) volts can be lost in the coax. Current x Resistance = Voltage loss Solid copper RG-6 has a typical loop resistance of 4 ohms per 100 feet. At 200 feet the resistance is 8 ohms. 0.22 Amp x 8 ohms = 1.76 volts loss 18 V - 1.76 V = 16.4 volts to the SL5

Model SD PI-6S-T starts with 19.4 Volts to provided extended dish to Main Point of Entry distances. The extra voltage provides an additional 150 feet RG-6 distance. Model LA145a offsets the signal loss of 150 feet of RG-6. The LA145a located at the polarity locker does not affect the current loss in the cable to the dish. What is the voltage loss in the 18v coax? At 350 feet the resistance is 12 ohms. 0.22 Amp x 12 ohms = 2.64 volts loss

I = 220 mA V= 19.4 - (12 x .22) V = 16.76 300 feet RG-6 @ 4 ohms / 100ft = 12 ohms

POWER SUPPLIES
SWM8 to SL5 Communication
Multiple SWM8s talking to the SL5 creates strange field problems that can be attributed to 22 kHz phasing. Multiple 22 kHz signals when combined can create constructive and destructive interference. 180 out of phase combining will reduce the 22 kHz signal to zero! The following web location has a live demonstration on the affects. http://www.kettering.edu/~drussell/ Demos/superposition/superposition.html
