Overall Setup
Choose between Setup Option 1 and Setup Option 2 to connect all cables.
WARNING
Only port C should be used for making connections to the mount base. Do not connect the power
inserter or receivers to port A or B.
In Setup Option 1, a cable runs from the TRAV'LER antenna to the power inserter and from the power inserter to the
splitter; cables then run from the splitter to each receiver (see fig. 8).
WARNING
The power inserter should not be mounted on the roof of the vehicle. The power inserter must
always be installed inside the vehicle.
In Setup Option 2, a cable runs from the TRAV'LER antenna to the splitter and from the splitter to the power inserter
and receiver(s) (see fig. 9).
TIP
The splitter can be mounted on the roof of the vehicle. However, the power inserter must always be installed
inside the vehicle.
Setup Option 1
1. Drill a 1" hole in the roof, and push the power/control cable and coax cable (running from port C of the mount base)
through the hole. Place the supplied cable entry plate over the hole and cables, and screw the plate in place using
eight of the supplied mounting screws. Seal the plate and screw holes with approved sealant (not included).
TIP
Depending on the length of the cable on the roof, you may need to use cable clamps between the unit and the
cable entry plate. Clamping every 12–16" should eliminate any unnecessary cable movement.
2. Connect the power/control cable running from the mount base to the "DC OUT/ANT. COMM." port of the interface box.
3. Connect the power supply to the "DC IN" port of the interface box.
4. Connect one end of the AC power cord to the power supply and the other end to a 110V outlet.
5. Connect a coax cable running from port "C" of the mount base to the "POWER TO SWM" port of the power inserter.
6. Connect a coax cable from the "SIGNAL TO IRD" port of the power inserter to the "In from SWM" port of the splitter.
Terminate unused splitter outputs with a 75 ohm termination cap.
7. Connect a coax cable from the splitter to each receiver. The receiver(s) should already be connected to the TV(s). Note
that the provided coax cable only includes a connector on one end.
8. Plug in the power inserter to a 110V outlet.
Power Supply
NOTE
If hooking up the antenna to only one
receiver, the splitter is not needed,
but the power inserter must still be installed.
