Model: AFXSM-5 Universal Antenna Kit Installation Instructions
MODEL AFXSM-5 Universal Antenna Installation Kit
This kit is designed to permit the reception and multiplexing on a single RG-6 cable of:
•
Satellite radio signals at 2.33 GHz (either Sirius or XM) depending on antenna pointing
•
Over-the-air digital TV signals (Channels 7 to 51) with appropriate antenna ( not supplied)
•
FM Radio (88 -108 MHz)
•
AM radio (500 KHz to 1.7 MHz)
•
HD Radio signals in the AM and FM bands
This kit includes the following items:

Figure 1 shows the system wiring diagram
Important installation instructions:
•
Do not exceed 300 feet of cable between the Triplexer and Quadplexer
•
If the VHF UHF antenna uses a powered preamp. Use the wiring diagram shown in Figure 2. The
Triplexer will not pass DC to the VHF / UHF antenna.
•
The Triplexer will pass all UHF TV frequencies and all VHF high band frequencies (Ch 7 -13). It
will not pass VHF low band frequencies (Ch -2 -6). If this is required a separate cable must be run
to the TV from the TV antenna
•
Make sure the red lead of the coax-to-twin lead AM radio adapter is connected to the terminal on
the receiver marked antenna and the black lead is connected to the terminal marked Ground on
the AM antenna connection block

Page 10: Pole Mounting
Model: PRO-500 Satellite Radio Antenna Installation Instructions • Tighten all hardware and seal the outdoor connectors using the included weather boot or other means to prevent moisture ingress. Provide a strain relief for the cable. Pole Mounting • Attach the pole mount bracket to any pole (not larger than 2 inches in diameter) using the U-bolt and saddle as shown in Figure 3. - Page 11 Model: PRO-500 Satellite Radio Antenna Installation Instructions and 5 show approximate pointing guidelines for five regions of the US and three regions of Canada. These guidelines should get you close to optimum. The radio’s antenna / signal menu should be used to make fine adjustments. Appendix 1 shows the exact magnetic azimuth and elevation pointing for major cities in the US and Canada.

Page 12: Installation Notes
• The antenna’s internal low noise amplifier is designed to compensate for the loss of up to 300 feet of RG-6 cable. For longer cable runs use an in-line amplifier (Pixel Model SBA-1) to boost the signal at its input to the Triplexer. - Page 13 Model: PRO-500 Satellite Radio Antenna Installation Instructions Appendix 1 The following chart shows the optimum azimuth bearing and elevation pointing angles for locations throughout the US and Canada. The azimuth has been magnetically corrected. Warning: Although in many locations it may be possible to receive signals from terrestrial repeaters, it is not recommended to use these signals at fixed locations.
