Cable Connection; Connecting One Satellite Tv Receiver For One Satellite - KNS SUPERTRACK S4 Installation And Operation Manual

2.7. Cable Connection

For the SuperTrack S4 to work, you must connect the RF cables to your satellite TV
receiver(s). Each RF cable must be an RF (75 ohms) cable fitted with F-type
connectors. The RF cables should already be connected to the antenna base plate.
There should be two ~ five coax cables routed from the ACU to the Antenna unit
according to your configurations. Note that Data and Power are transmitted through a
single coax cable. This cable should be connected to the ACU labeled "RF
connector of the antenna base plate" and the connector of the ACU labeled
"ANTENNA." The remaining coax cable routing depends on your configuration. Due
to the signal polarization of the satellites, it is possible for the SuperTrack S4 to
support more than two satellite TV receivers aboard a boat. To install more than two
satellite TV receivers/TV pairs, an active multi-switch is placed between the Antenna
Unit and the Satellite TV receivers. The following sections provide details for the
installation of both a single satellite TV receiver and multiple satellite TV receivers.
To connect the SuperTrack S4 to your satellite TV receiver(s), choose one of the
following configurations (based on the number of satellite TV receivers you will
connect to the antenna):
Option 1 - Connecting one satellite TV receiver for one satellite
Option 2 - Connecting one satellite TV receiver for satellite pairs with auto
switching
Option 3 - Connecting satellite TV receivers with European LNB
Option 4 - Connecting multi satellite TV receivers with auto switching
Connecting one satellite TV receiver for one satellite (Only use the 'HH'
polarity of the satellite)
One satellite TV receiver for one satellite is the simplest type of cable installation. Only
two coaxial cables should be connected between the antenna unit and the satellite TV
receiver, as shown in Figure 2-16. One end of the RF cable should already be
connected to the connector labeled "RF4" on the base of the SuperTrack S4 antenna.
Connect the other end of the RF4 cable to the satellite TV receiver connector labeled
"LNB," "ANT/SAT," or "satellite IN." And, the "ACU" connector of the antenna base plate
must also be connected to the "ANTENNA" connector of the ACU. In this configuration,
every satellite should be selected manually using the ACU.
