Pico Macom’s TruSpec™TSMS2150 series of professional-grade satellite multiswitches

are used in applications that require satellite IF distribution from 950-2150MHz, including

residential and MDU installations requiring high return loss ports. The advanced circuit

design incorporates a pin diode matrix to route any of the inputs to any of the outputs

by utilizing the 13-14V Right-Circular/Vertical or 17-18V Left-Circular/Horizontal switch-

ing control supplied by the satellite receivers, thus eliminating digital artifacts that result

from mechanical relay switching. To compensate for insertion loss, both versions use

separate built-in amplifiers for satellite and VHF/UHF signals. The TSMS-2150 series

multiswitches, used with the external power supply, will supply power to the LNB’s

reducing heat build up within the multiswitch and prolong the life of the unit. The

TSMS-2150-4 3x4 satellite multiswitch routes input signals from a single satellite with

2 LNB inputs (950-2150MHz) and an off-air TV antenna input (40-806MHz) to 4 receiver

outputs by means of receiver generated voltage 13-14/17-18VDC.

3x4 Satellite IF Multiswitch

TSMS2150-4

Wideband frequency range 40-2150MHz

High performance SMD multi-layered

printed-circuit board design ensures

high port-to-port isolation to provide

spurious carrier protection and to

minimize undesired channel interac-

tion, reducing picture distortion

High output return loss ports specifically

designed for MDU networks and multiple-

subscriber applications reduces micro-

reflections, improves data recovery and

lowers harmonic distortions

Simple F-type connector interface

design provides 2 LNB and 1 TV antenna

inputs routed to 4 outputs

High-performance PIN diode matrix

reduces polarity transfer time and digital

artifacts providing consistent picture

quality

Antenna signal combines with satellite on

output, eliminating external combining,

reducing cost and clutter

Compatible with most DTH Satellite

services providing 2 polarities selected

by receiver-supplied voltage 13-14V/17-

18VDC

500mA DC Power pass-through

reduces cost by providing the satellite

receiver a path to power the LNB

Built-in low-distortion amplifier

compensates for insertion loss reduc-

ing need for external amplification

Heavy-duty nickel-plated diecast housing

for maximum corrosion resistance

Epoxy-sealed backing prevents mois-

ture migration

Precision machined threads ensure

secure port-to-connector interface for

improved connectivity

Available external UL approved power

supply to reduce heat buildup increas-

ing unit life

Warranty

Limited Warranty

Pico Macom warrants to the original purchaser that all of its new products are of sound design, quality materials and workmanship at the time of manufacture

and will be free from related defects for one year from the original purchase date. Pico Macom will repair or, at its discretion, replace without cost to the original

purchaser, the product which, upon inspection by Pico Macom, appears to be defective or not conforming to factory specifications. Pico Macom will cover the cost

of parts, labor, and return freight from factory.

Five-Year Limited Warranty

Most products designated as “Headend Electronics” are further covered by an extended 4-year period beyond the expiration of the original 1-year warranty, for a full

5-year period. Qualified equipment requiring factory repair during the extended 4-year period is covered under our re-certification program. Re-certification fees

under this program shall not to exceed 20% of the product’s List Price and whenever possible, Pico Macom will attempt to upgrade performance to the latest

improved specification.

Warranty Limitations

This warranty excludes coverage of damage or inoperability resulting from (1) use or installation other than in strict accordance with Pico Macom’s written instruc-

tions, (2) disassembly or repair by someone other than Pico Macom or a Pico Macom authorized repair center, (3) misuse, misapplication or abuse, (4) alteration,

(5) lack of reasonable care or (6) wind, ice, snow, rain, lightning, power surges, or any other weather conditions or acts of God. Pico Macom’s warranty with respect

to third-party proprietary sub-assembly modules and/or private-label products are limited to the duration and terms of third-party vendors’ warranty. Pico Macom

or discontinue this warranty at Pico Macom’s sole discretion without notification. No other warrantees are expressed or implied.

Uptime Loaner Program

Our Uptime loaner program is designed to provide domestic users of our headend products and commercial systems the best possible support and service. This

program is established to minimize downtime resulting from equipment failure in critical service situations. We offer this program free-of-charge (excluding freight)

to qualified purchasers within the warranty period. The program provides a free equipment loan of like qualified equipment enabling seamless operation for the time

required to repair and return the unit.

The process is simple.Call our Customer Service desk requesting a return-merchandise-authorization (RMA) number for the failed equipment and ask for a loaner

unit. We will issue an invoice for the List Price of the loaner unit plus shipping costs. When you receive the loaner unit, pack the failed unit in the loaner unit’s box

and ship it freight prepaid to Pico Macom for repair. When you receive the repaired unit, a new RMA number will be provided in the box. Carefully pack the loaner

unit and affix the new RMA number on the box and ship it back to us for full credit excluding shipping costs.

To qualify for the program, you must have current open-terms with us and in good standing. We must receive your failed unit within one week after the loaner unit

is shipped to you, and must likewise receive the loaner unit within one week after the repaired unit is shipped back to you. Daily rental fees not to exceed 10% of

the equipment’s List Price will apply beyond one week after the loaner or repaired unit are shipped to you. Other limitations may apply, so please call us for addi-

tional information on qualifying equipment and procedures. Pico Macom reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Uptime Loaner Program at any time, and at

its sole discretion.

Damage or Shortage Claims

Our shipping staff carefully packs and ships your orders in compliance with common carriers’ requirements.Please make note of any obvious damage or shortage

on the freight bill or carrier’s receipt next to your signature. The carrier’s agent must too sign acknowledging the loss. Failure to do so may result in the carrier’s

refusal to honor the claim. Please open your order immediately upon receipt to check for concealed damage and compare the packing list to the items shipped. If

damaged, keep the original shipping cartons for possible inspection by the carrier. You must report claims for loss or damage within 3 days of delivery, while claims

for erroneous charges or price corrections must be presented within 30 days of invoice date.

Returning Shipped Items

To return any shipped items, including those shipped for warranty repairs or credit, call our Customer Service desk to request a Return Merchandise Authorization

(RMA) number. Please reference the original invoice number and purchase date, and product serial number (if any). Be certain to mark the RMA number on the

package boldly and legibly. Unless we specify a different carrier, please ship your returned items to us via UPS freight prepaid and fully insured. If returned for

credit, we will promptly process your request upon receipt of your return order.
