If you are installing a linear system (with the
exception of Sky Mexico), follow these steps to
connect the switchplate to the MCP and the
antenna to the receiver(s).
a. Connect the main control cable (DB9-male to
DB9-male) from the "Maintenance" port on
the front or back of the switchplate to the
"Antenna Unit" connector on the MCP (see
Figure 24).
b. Connect the RF control cable (RJ22 to
DB9-female) from the RJ22 jack on the back of
the switchplate to the "RF Port" connector on
the MCP.
c. Connect the RF1 cable from the antenna to
the "Satellite In" connector on the primary
receiver. The primary receiver controls
satellite selection. The switchplate's two DB9
connectors access the same port. Connecting
to one disables the other.
NOTE: Any additional receiver(s) will be able to
select channels carried on the satellite that is currently
selected by the primary receiver.
d. If you have a second receiver, connect the
RF2 cable from the antenna to the "Satellite
In" connector on the second receiver.
e. If the system is equipped with a quad LNB,
connect the RF3 and RF4 cables from the
antenna to the "Satellite In" connectors on the
third and fourth receivers, if applicable.
IMPORTANT!
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.
NOTE: If you need to connect more than four
receivers, install an active multiswitch that generates
a 22 KHz tone (such as Eagle Aspen 501481 - KVH
part no.19-0573). Connect the multiswitch in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
f. Connect the receiver(s) to the television(s).
Follow the steps in the receiver's manual.
