If you are installing a circular system, or a linear
system for Sky Mexico, follow these steps to
connect the customer's satellite TV receiver(s) to
the TracVision system.
NOTE: For DIRECTV Ku-band Tri-Sat service, you
will need to install the KVH Tri-Sat AutoSwitch Kit
(KVH part #72-0301-07).
a. Connect the RF1 cable from the antenna to
the grounding block, as shown in Figure 19.
Label this grounding block connector "RF1."
b. If you are connecting multiple receivers,
connect the RF2 cable from the antenna to the
grounding block. Label this connector "RF2."
c. Attach the supplied ground wire to either
ground screw on the grounding block.
Connect the other end of the wire to a
suitable vessel AC ground.
d. Using the two #6 screws supplied with the
grounding block, mount the grounding block
inside the vessel.
IMPORTANT!
If you wish to connect three or more receivers
to the antenna, see Appendix A on page 25
(circular) or page 26 (Sky Mexico).
e. If you are connecting two receivers to the
TracVision system, decide which receiver
will be the primary receiver. The primary
receiver controls satellite selection.
NOTE: The secondary receiver will be able to select
channels carried on the satellite that is currently
selected by the primary receiver.
f. Connect the supplied 5-ft RF cable from the
"RF1" connector on the grounding block to
the "Satellite In" connector on the primary
receiver (see Figure 19).
g. If you are connecting two receivers, connect
an RF cable from the "RF2" connector on the
grounding block to the "Satellite In"
connector on the secondary receiver.
h. Connect the receiver(s) to the customer's
television(s). Follow the instructions in the
receiver's manual.
