Introduction
This guide explains how to install the DISH Pro Plus 44
Multi-Dish Switch. You should use this guide along with the
Installation Instructions provided in your receiver user’s
guide.
Features
A DISH Pro Plus 44 switch allows you to receive signals
from up to four DISH Network™ satellites, and route these
signals to as many as four DISH Network satellite receivers
per switch.
• Supports receiving signals from up to four DISH
Network satellites.
• Supports DISH Pro Plus, DISH Pro, and non-DISH Pro
receivers (some limitations apply).
• Supports trunking together DISH Pro Plus or DISH Pro
switches to allow adding more receivers.
• Supports connecting to a DISH Pro Plus two-tuner
receiver using only one cable (requires a DISH Pro Plus
Separator).

Installation Instructions
The following instructions assume you have already installed
and pointed your dish(es) for the strongest possible signal,
have run Check Switch, and have allowed the receiver to
take a software upgrade. If not, you must complete the dish
installation using the instructions which came with the dish
and receiver before starting this switch installation.
Note: For DISH Pro Plus-compatible receivers, you can
complete these installation instructions with only one
SATELLITE INconnected.
Note: Legacy receivers may be directly connected to a DISH
Pro LNBF to peak the satellite dish and take the software
download using odd transponders (for example, transponder
11).
Mounting and Connecting the Switch
Refer to the wiring diagrams starting on page 17 and
complete the instructions below to mount and connect the
switch to your system:
1. Mount the DISH Pro Plus 44 switch onto the side of a
building, or on some other sturdy structure. Make sure
that the mounting location is stable, and that you fasten
the switch tightly to the surface.
8
Note: The DISH Pro Plus 44 switch can be installed
inside or outside your home or building.
Note: Mount the switch so that the dish connections are
horizontal (as shown in Figure 1), and put drip loops in
all coaxial cables. This helps prevent water from dripping
into switch connections.
The switch is UL approved to take the place of
a ground block.
You can have up to 200 feet of cable between
a DISH Pro LNBF and a satellite receiver with
the DISH Pro Plus 44 Switch connected at any
point along the 200 feet of cable. The cable
must be rated for 950 to 2150 MHz. Some
cable is labeled “Swept tested to 2150 MHz.”
If you are unsure whether your cable is rated to
2150 MHz, check the container it came in or
talk to your retailer.

2. Connect the coaxial cables from the LNBFs in your
system to the ports on the switch labeled TODISH (see
also the wiring diagrams that begin on page 17).
Note: You can only connect to LNBFs marked with the
DISH Pro logo, DISH Pro Plus logo, or those used with a
SuperDISH.
10
Note: Receiver models 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000,
JVC D-VHS, 7100, and 7200 cannot receive satellite
signals connected to the TODISH PORT f. Therefore,
connect LNBFs for the three satellite locations you want
these models to receive on TODISH Ports cthrough
e. It is recommended that FSS LNBFs be connected to
PORT fsince the receivers listed in this note cannot
receive signals from FSS satellites anyway.
3. Connect a cable between TOPOWER INSERTER 1
connection on the switch and the power inserter marked
TOSWITCH INPUT 1.
Do not install any devices between the power
inserter and the switch. The power from the
inserter may damage the device.
The power inserter must be installed in the
cable connected to the switch’s TOPOWER
INSERTER 1 or the switch will not work.
The power inserter is for indoor use only.

4. Connect the cables from the receiver’s back panel
SATELLITE INport(s) to the TORECEIVER SATELLITE IN
port of the power inserter installed in the previous step,
or to switch ports dthrough flabeled TORECEIVER
SATELLITE IN.
Note: If installing a DISH Pro Plus two-tuner receiver
using a single cable, install a DISH Pro Plus Separator as
follows:
a. Connect a cable from a TORECEIVER SATELLITE
INport on either the switch or power inserter to the
DISH Pro Plus Separator.
b. Connect cables between the receiver SATELLITE IN
1 and SATELLITE IN2 to ports 1and 2respectively on
the DISH Pro Plus Separator.
4. Make sure all connections are secure.
5. Plug the power supply for the power inserter into a power
outlet.
Do not connect the receiver to the ports
labeled TOADDITIONAL SWITCH as this can
cause receivers in the system to experience
loss of video.
