Wiring 3+ Receivers

A
To connect three or more receivers to a circular
system, follow these steps to install an Eagle
Aspen multiswitch (KVH part #72-0310) between
the grounding block and the receivers, as shown
in Figure 51.
1. Connect an RF cable from the "RF1"
connector on the grounding block to the
"13V" connector on the multiswitch.
2. Connect an RF cable from the "RF2"
connector on the grounding block to the
"18V" connector on the multiswitch.
3. Connect the receivers to the individual
outputs of the multiswitch.
4. Connect the receivers to the customer's TVs.
The use of a multiswitch interrupts satellite
switching communications between the receiver
and antenna. As a result, to switch between two
or three selected satellites, use the buttons on the
ADCU's front panel (see the User's Guide for
details).
