Important Safety Instructions
You must keep safety in mind when you install and use the
DP34 switch. Refer to the safety instructions in the
installation instructions that came with your system. In this
Guide, the following notes tell you when you need to pay
special attention:
Marks a procedure where the following
may happen:
• Personal injury or death may occur.
• Equipment or property may be damaged.
Marks the following issues:
• Important operation or maintenance

Why install a DP34 Switch
A DP34 switch allows you to receive signals from two or
three DISH Network satellites, and route these signals to as
many as four DishPro satellite receivers per switch.
DP34 switches allow you to add as many as four DishPro
receivers to your system by adding just one DP34 switch.
What’s more, up to three DP34 switches can be connected to
each other, so that you can route the satellite signal from two
or three satellites to as many as twelve DishPro receivers.
Note: Some DishPro receivers have more than one tuner —
for example, the DishPVR 721 receiver has two. In this case,
one DP34 switch can be used to deliver the satellite signal to
two of these receivers, or to one of these receivers and two
DishPro one-tuner receivers.
Introduction
This Guide explains how to install one or more
DP34 Multi-Dish Switch(es). You should use this Guide
along with the DishPro Installation Instructions that are in
the user guide that came with your receiver.
Page 4
Warning: The DP34 switch can be used only with
DishPro LNBFs and DishPro receivers. DishPro
products can be identified by the DishPro logo
shown below.
If your system has LNBFs that do not have the DishPro logo,
you cannot use the DP34 Switch in your system. However,
you can use the DP34 Switch if there are receivers in your
system that do not have the DishPro logo if you buy a
DishPro Adapter for each of these receivers. DishPro
Adapters can be purchased from your DISH retailer, or by
calling our Customer Service Center at 1-800-333-DISH
(3474)
Note: The following instructions assume you have already
pointed your dish for the strongest possible signal, and have
run Check Switch with the DishPro LNBF connected
directly to the receiver’s Satellite In port. If not, you must
install the Dish, following the instructions that came with it,
before doing the following.

How to Install a DP34 Switch
1. Mount the DP34 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. The DP34 should be fixed by suitable
hardware for the wall or ceiling.
Note: Mount the switch so that the connections are
horizontal (as shown in Figure 1), and put drip loops
in all coaxial cables. This helps prevent leakage of
moisture into the switch.
The DP34 switch can be installed outside your
home or building, because this device is designed
for outside use.
You can have up to 200 feet of cable between a
DishPro LNBF and a DishPro satellite receiver
with the DP34 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 a DISH 500 or a DISH
300 to the ports on the DP34 switch labeled “to Dish”
(see also the wiring diagrams that begin on page 11.
3. Connect the cables from the Dish receiver’s back panel
Satellite In port(s) to the DP34 ports labeled “to Receiver
Satellite In.” The switch’s four outputs each provide
signals from two or three satellites, so you can route the
signals from two or three satellites to as many as four
DishPro receivers or tuner inputs.

4. The switch takes the place of a ground block. Article
820-40 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) states that
you should locate a ground block as close as possible to
where you have the system connected to the ground (for
example, to a water pipe or rod driven in the ground). So,
do the same for the switch.
After you have connected cables and DP34 Switches to all
receivers in the system, you will need to run
Check Switch on each receiver in your system, one at a
time. To do this, follow these instructions for each receiver:
1. Select the Main Menu, then System Setup,
Installation, and Point Dish/Signal, or push 6-1-1 on
the remote.
2. A Point Dish/Signal menu similar to the one shown as
Figure 2 will open.
• Do not connect the receiver to the ports
labeled “To additional switch” as this can
cause other receivers in the system to
experience loss of video.

3. Select Check Switch. The Check Switch screen will
open. Select Check.
4. The Check Switch procedure will run. When it
finishes, you will see an Installation Summary screen.
This screen should identify the installed switch as a
DP34. You should see “110” and “119” on the “Satellite,”
line, and the word “All” under both 1and 2. You should
also see the message “Satellite reception verified,” and
your LNBFs (“Devices) correctly identified. If your
system includes three satellites, you should see Dish
Input for three satellites, and all three satellites correctly
identified, as illustrated in Figure 3.

Figure 3
5. While your screen may not look exactly like the one
shown here, you must see Dish input from both satellites
(or all three satellites, if applicable), the “Satellite
reception verified” message, and your LNBFs (Devices)
correctly identified. If you do not, you will need to check
all cables and switches, and then run Check Switch
again.
Page 10
If you still do not see the “Satellite reception verified”
message, select Details. This screen provides information
that may be helpful in trouble-shooting the problem or in
reporting it to the DISH Network Customer Service Center.
The wiring diagrams in this Guide that begin on
page 11 omit cable drip loops and grounding for
clarity. Make sure to use drip loops, and to ground
the system per the National Electrical Code (NEC)
and all local electrical codes.
