Installation Instructions

31
Follow these steps to connect three or four
receivers directly to an antenna equipped with a
linear quad LNB.
NOTE: If you need to connect more than four
receivers to the TracVision system, install an active
multiswitch that generates a 22 KHz tone (such as
Spaun model SMS 5602 NF - KVH part #19-0413).
Connect the multiswitch in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Decide which receiver will be the primary
receiver. The primary receiver will control
satellite selection.
NOTE: The additional receivers will be able to
select any channel carried on the satellite that is
currently selected on the primary receiver.
2. Connect the RF1 cable from the antenna to
the “Satellite In” connector on the primary
receiver (see Figure 45).
3. Connect the RF2 cable from the antenna to
the “Satellite In” connector on the second
receiver.
4. Connect the RF3 cable from the antenna to
the “Satellite In” connector on the third
receiver.
5. Connect the RF4 cable from the antenna to
the “Satellite In” connector on the fourth
receiver.
Only antennas equipped with a linear quad
LNB can support more than two receivers.
Antennas equipped with a linear dual LNB
support only two receivers.

Be sure all receivers are grounded. If the
receiver has a 2-prong power plug, run a
ground wire from the receiver’s chassis to a
suitable ground point. If a potential exists
between AC and DC grounds, connect the
wire to the switchplate’s DC return instead.
