Overview
EN 61319-1:1996/A11:1999 is a European standard (published under CLC) that specifies the interconnections of satellite receiving equipment - Part 1: Europe. The 1999 amendment (A11) extends the defined interface protocols used between the indoor satellite receiver and outdoor units over the IF cable, deriving those protocols from the DiSEqC bus specifications. The document has later national adoptions (for example SIST EN 61319-1:1999/A11:2003) and its CLC legacy was converted by DCLab NISOSTS in 2021. Responsibility for the subject was moved from the disbanded TC 206 to a new TC 100X.
Key Topics
- Interface protocols over IF cable - Defines how control and signalling between the receiver and outdoor equipment are conveyed via the standard IF connection, based on DiSEqC bus concepts.
- Interconnection requirements - Scope covers interoperability between indoor receivers and outdoor parts (e.g., dish-mounted converters) in a European context.
- Protocol extension - The A11 amendment expands protocol options to support additional control and signalling methods derived from DiSEqC.
- Compatibility and interoperability - Emphasis on ensuring different manufacturers’ equipment can interoperate reliably when connected using standardized IF interfaces.
- Standards governance - Notes transfer of maintenance responsibility (TC changes) and conversion of legacy documents, important for implementers tracking normative updates.
Applications
EN 61319-1 is practical for parties involved in the design, manufacture, installation, testing and certification of satellite receiving systems in Europe:
- Receiver and outdoor-unit manufacturers - Use the standard to design compatible control interfaces and ensure interoperability with other vendors’ equipment.
- System integrators and installers - Reference the standard to select components and configure connections that follow accepted European interface protocols.
- Test and certification labs - Apply the document to validate compliance and interoperability of satellite equipment.
- Standards bodies and procurement teams - Use the standard when specifying requirements for satellite reception installations in residential, commercial or broadcast applications.
Related Standards
- DiSEqC bus specifications - The amendment derives interface protocol definitions from DiSEqC; implementers should consult DiSEqC documentation for protocol-level details.
- Other European and international standards addressing satellite IF interfaces, connector types and installation practices (refer to CLC/TC and national standards organizations for exact references).
This standard is essential for ensuring reliable, interoperable satellite receiver interfaces in Europe. Keywords: EN 61319-1, satellite receiving equipment, DiSEqC, IF cable, interconnections, European standard, CLC.
