    3. Connect the DC power supply to the connector on the rear of the ACU. How do I configure the system?... Your Raymarine Satellite TV system can be connected with multiple IRDs at the same time to receive pictures in different cabins offering the maximum choice of channels.
  • Page 21: Twin Irds

    Twin IRDs You can connect two IRDs to your antenna as shown in the following diagram.However, only one of the IRDs can be configured as a two satellite receiver. The other IRD needs to be configured as a one satellite receiver. The two satellite receiver determines which satellite is tracked, while the other receiver can watch any channel which is available from the tracked satellite.
  • Page 22: Multiple Irds

    North American systems and South America (DirecTV) In order to connect three or four IRDs to the antenna, you will need to purchase an active multi-switch with 2 satellite ‘in’ ports (Raymarine recommends the Channel Master 6314 IFD), and the necessary additional RF cables.
  • Page 23 North American systems - DirecTV This version of a multi-switch installation uses a DiSEqC supplier - Raymarine Part No. A96014 - and enables you to change the satellite being tracked as you change channels using the IRD master instead of the ACU.
