Page 6: Installation
INSTALLATION SECTION 3 TOOLS AND MATERIALS REQUIRED: - drill and drill bit set - tape measure - 7/16” open end wrench (coax connections) - adhesive sealant (compatible with roof material) - appropriate fasteners to install all components and wiring - 5/32” allen wrench, channel lock or pliers (to remove shipping bolt) - wire cutter (to remove shipping tie strap) KIT CONTENTS: 1. - Page 7 IMPORTANT! The tie strap and spacer, and the bolt and washer must be removed from the bottom of the dome unit prior to installation. DO NOT REMOVE THE DOME COVER TO REMOVE THESE SHIPPING RESTRAINTS. YOU MUST PLUG THE TWO HOLES WITH THE SUPPLIED PLUGS. (TAPED TO BACK OF BASE.) 2.
- Page 8 Insert provided plugs (taped to back of base) into holes that were occupied by tie strap and shipping bolt. Inserted plugs should be flush with base (Fig. 6). Fig. 6 IMPORTANT! After removing shipping restraints, firmly insert plugs into appropriate holes. Plugs should be flush with base. Page 6...
- Page 9 DOME LOCATION 1. Select an area on the roof for the dome unit and the location where the coax cables will enter the vehicle through the roof to the satellite receivers and internal components. Use the following criteria: a) The shortest distance between the dome unit and the main satellite receiver is most desirable.
- Page 10 3. The dome unit must be positioned so that both feet on each side of the vehicle are equal distances from the roof edge. This should be checked by measuring the distance from each foot to the roof edge. Confirm that these measurements are equal (Fig. 8). Fig.
- Page 11 COMPONENT LOCATION 1. Determine the location of the internal components using the following criteria: a) The Controller, Tuner, and Power Supply should be in the same general vicinity of the main satellite receiver, and ACCESSIBLE FOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PURPOSES. b) The Tuner should not be stacked directly on top of other electronics.
- Page 12 DOME INSTALLATION AND EXTERNAL WIRING IMPORTANT! Use only the coaxial cables supplied with the Trac-King. Do not cut coax. Coil and store excess cable in the cabinet with the components. If coaxial cable other than that supplied with the Trac-King is used, the following guide lines must be followed: ®...
- Page 13 Note: The installer is responsible for determining the most appropriate fastener to secure the dome unit to the roof. Depending on the roof material, fasteners such as lag screws, well nuts, sheet metal screws, toggle bolts and T anchors may be used, and should always be used in combination with a roof compatible sealant.
- Page 14 Fig. 11 IMPORTANT! Coax connection will slide inside rubber sleeve. Coax connection should be snug. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN! Gel-filled boot must sit flush against rubber sleeve. 5. Run coax from the dome unit to the roof edge, then along edge to location where coax will be fed into the vehicle.
- Page 15 Fig. 12 TYPICAL ROOF INSTALLATION - OVERHEAD VIEW IMPORTANT! Sealant must be roof compatible. 7. Remove blue protective sheet and red “position to rear” sticker from the dome unit. Page 13...
- Page 16 ELECTRICAL HAZARD WARNING! The coaxial cable that connects the dome unit to the tuner carries a 24 volt electrical current. Exercise extreme caution when handling this cable. Do not cut, break, or splice this line. Do not insert or connect any devices such as splitters or any other device for any reason.

Page 20: Operation
OPERATION SECTION 4 IMPORTANT! There must be a clear “line of sight” to the satellite (See Fig. 2, Page 3). Mountains, buildings, trees, telephone poles, etc. can all block the satellite signal from reaching the dish. Note: This example is for the DTV 101 satellite in Region 2-North Central. The information on your controller will vary depending on the satellite and region you have chosen. - Page 21 Note: To reduce satellite acquisition time, you can set your current region.

- Page 23 Note: For DIRECTV ® Subscribers: The satellite setting allows the user to select the satellite and service provider of choice. For DIRECTV subscribers, the Trac-King can also track a secondary or alternate satellite. Example: If you are a subscriber to the DIRECTV service most of the programming that you will be watching will be transmitted from the satellite located at 101 degrees.

Page 29: Maintenance
This loss of signal is commonly referred to as “rain fade” and is caused by the combination of water in the atmosphere and water on the dome surface. To minimize this issue and eliminate the effects of water on the dome, apply King Controls’ Dome Magic rain fade solution to the dome. -
