Can you have 5 LNBs and motor setup to a Diseqc switch?

[qwert1515]

Is it possible to have five LNBs and a motor setup to a Diseqc switch?
Four LNBs on fixed dishes and the fifth LNB connected to the motor.

Thank you.

yep


receiver------motor------switch port 1------------motorized setup
-----------------------------switch port 2-------------fixed dish 1
------------------------------switch port 3------------fixed dish 2
-----------------------------switch port 4----22k switch 0k----fixed dish 3
-----------------------------switch port 4----22k switch 22k---fixed dish 4

The switch needs to go after the motor or it will screw up. On 2 fixed dishes you will need a 22k switch...LNB's have to be standard

I can't say that I can visualize your setup, but you can always combine two lnbf's ont o one Diseqc input using a 22 khz switch between the lnbf and the Diseqc switch. You can then get a maximum 8 lnbf's on a 4 port Diseqc switch. Will that work for you ?

Thank you Iceberg and Brentb636.

I thought that if you have a motor you could not use a 22Khz switch, thank you for clearing that up.

The setup that I am planning to use will be the following.

receiver------motor-------switch port 1------------Motorized 48" Universal Ku
--------------------------switch port 2----22k switch 0k----Motorized C (Same 48" Dish)
--------------------------switch port 2----22k switch 22k---Motorized Circular (Same 48" Dish)
--------------------------switch port 3------------Fixed dish 36" Universal Ku for 103 West (Due to weird skew)
--------------------------switch port 4------------Fixed dish 31" Universal Ku for 97 West

 

[Mr Tony]

that will work just fine

and yes you can use a 22k with a motor...Thats what I'm using

receiver-----motor----22k---KU
--------------------------22k---circular

Clarifying Line Drawings

It's hard to get character-based drawings to line up properly on the forum.
Use of the "code" and "/code" formatting , along with selecting the Fixedsys font, will help a lot.
(code and /code go in square brackets: [ and ] )
If in doubt, check your work by using Preview Post.

Here's an example:

[FONT=Fixedsys]receiver------motor-------switch port 1------------Motorized 48" Ku Universal 
                      |
                      ----switch port 2----22k switch 0k----Motorized 48" C band
[/FONT][FONT=Fixedsys]                      |                 |
                      |                  [/FONT][FONT=Fixedsys]--22k switch 22k---Motorized 48" Ku circular
[/FONT][FONT=Fixedsys]                      |
                      [/FONT][FONT=Fixedsys]----switch port 3------------Fixed 36" Ku Univ @ 103 West 
[/FONT][FONT=Fixedsys]                      |
                      [/FONT][FONT=Fixedsys]----switch port 4------------Fixed 31" Ku Univ @ 97 West[/FONT]

I also added some lines to clarify for the next guy...
