The signals from a DIRECTV® (4) polarity SLSP-F

SlimLine® dish with SL5 LNB, DTV66E 95º dish and a

possible 6th polarity are required for multiple switches

Amplifi ers are required to increase the signal level from

the dish to feed the taps. Model LAL205A-T includes

automatic gain control for a constant input to the taps.

The tap values are 16 dB, 12 dB, 9 dB and 6 dB. Model

SD MST616 tap output is 16 dB less than the input

Model LAL205A-T amplifi ers may be spaced at (5) fl oor

increments when used with model SD MST616, SD MST612, SD MST609 and SD MST606 tap per fl oor.

The trunk level is indicated on the left and the tap level

output is indicated on the right.

Automatic gain simplifi es the design and the installation

knowing that the amplifi er output is -20 dBm when the

LED lights are Green.

DIRECTV® MULTI-TAPS

Model SD MST616, SD MST612, SD MST609 and SD

MST606 multiple input taps directionaly couple a

portion of trunk signals to feed single or groups of

DBS switches.
