titaniun lnb hook up

[iamnomad]

I have a titanium lnb, but don't have the wiring diagram for it. There are two connectors on the lnb how do they hook up?

Sounds like you got the dual LNBF. One F connection is for horizontal polarized signals and the other for vertical polarization. You'll need 2 coax cables and a diseqc switch to select which one you want to go to the receiver. I believe you can use just one of the F connectors for both polarizations and have the receiver select which polarization you want to receive - you won't need the diseqc switch and one coax cable for that config. I hope that's clear.

Both outputs are voltage controlled polarity. 13Vdc: Vertical or 18Vdc:Horizontal. They are not fixed polarity output.

If only connecting one of the LNBF ports to one STB, protect the unused port with a bank plastic cap or a small dab of silicon sealant to prevent water intrusion. Some users prefer taking an F-fitting, filling with silicon sealant, curing then screwing on the unused port.

I currently have a c/ku lnbf but am having receiving problems on a couple of transmitters. My receiver selects the satellite and horizontal or vertical. I guess I'll try to connect both connections with a diseqc switch.

Thanks

Exactly which LNBF do you have? I had assumed that you have a dual C-band output on your LNBF so are you using a C/Ku combo LNBF instead?

As Titanium said. Both ports are voltage switched. Two receivers can be used or the unused port can be saved for after a rainy day.
Unless he disagrees. The unused port can be covered to keep water from seeping inside.
A dab of.....Silicone....would work.
Silicon is on the beach. Silicone is why you go there (with dark sunglasses on).

Please post a photo of the LNBF or the model. If it is an old CK1 model, yes, you need either a DiSEqC or 22 KHz switch for the STB to select between the C-band and the KU-band outputs.

A CK1 does not have any interference filtering and will have problems with 5G interference on the C-band frequencies, if 5G is in use in your area.. This may be why you're having problems receiving certain transponders.

I can't remember the model, but it has a built in switch to go between C and Ku. I connected two wires to the titanium and a diseqc, and the connection wire to the house. I had it on a channel before I switched it, and tuned it in as best I could. Then when I tried changing channels, the signal went away, and I could not get a signal on any satellite except when the dish was moving. Then I rescanned the satellite and I got channels, but not all of them. The signal seems strong, so I hope the interference has gone away.

The Titanium Satellite CK1 C/KU LNBF never had a built-in band selection switch. If your LNBF has an internal switch, it is another brand. Best to identify what you have or we are playing a game of blindfolded "pin the tail on the donkey"...

No I am saying that the lnbf that I am replacing had the built in switch. Th Titanium has 2 connections.

Thank you for clarifying.

The CK1S C-band is Standard Type with Single LO of 5150 MHz and the KU-Band output is Standard Type with Single LO of 10750 MHz

With a DiSEqC switch installed with C-Band on Port 1, KU installed on Port 2 and the Receiver Port connected to the STB, program the STB menu this way:

• All C-band Satellites: Switch DiSEqC 1.0 or 1.1 (depending on type of switch model) - Port 1 / LNB - Standard type with LO 5150
• All KU-Band Satellites: Switch type DiSEqC 1.0 or 1.1 (depending on type of switch model) - Port 2 / LNB - Standard type with LO 10750
