how to use an EMP-centauri 8x1 diseqc with your ipro

note: this guide was made specifically for the neosat ipro 2k/plus/pro but the same basic idea applies.though you may notice some stbs do not work as easy and nicely at this as this unit does.so you may want to combine channel master for setting this up.






an easy way to combine 8 legacy lnbs to your ipro is by using an emp 8x1 GOTO switch.
the ipro does not use diseqc 1.1 commands,so you will not use diseqc ports.leave all diseqc ports off.

go through your wizard as normal.but do not do the auto detect at the end.since this is not dn equipment and is not to be setup as a switch.

first,plug in all your lnbs outside into the switch.as always you do not want to blow your diseqc.so always remember to have the stbs rear switch turned off while un/hooking cables.this switch set you back around $50.00 so you don't want to blow it.

next go to antenna settings.find each bird your pointed at and follow these instructions:

scroll down to motor control and select diseqc 1.2


scroll down to position and press left/right until the bird your setting up (on the left side) matches the bird found (on the right side)



next simply press ok to store the position.then your ready to scan.(note:multi scan is not selectable while using motor controls of course.so scan each individually)


very simple way to combine up to 8 lnbs into your ipro,setup and scan.
enjoy
(this switch is basically setup the same way for all units without diseqc 1.1 commands)
