This appendix explains how to connect
additional receivers to the TracVision M9 system.
Circular Version Only
Use the wiring diagram in Figure 50 if you wish
to connect three or four receivers to the
TracVision M9 system. If you wish to connect
five or more receivers, please refer to the
TracVision M9 User’s Guide.
NOTE: You can purchase an Eagle Aspen active
multiswitch, shown in Figure 50, from KVH (order
part #72-0310).

Multiswitches block a receiver’s 22 KHz tone
needed to switch satellites automatically.
Therefore, the customer will need to
manually switch satellites using the buttons
on the MCU.
