DEFINITION OF TERMS SECTION 2 AZIMUTH: Angle in degrees measured clockwise from Magnetic North (0°) (Fig. 2). Fig. 2 ELEVATION: Angle in degrees measured from a level plane (Fig. 3). Fig. 3 SIGNAL STRENGTH: Intensity of electronic signal received from the satellite transmission. Page 3... -
Page 6: Installation
INSTALLATION SECTION 3 TOOLS AND MATERIALS REQUIRED 1. Read thru the instructions and make sure you have all the tools and materials required to complete the installation, including: • drill and drill bit set • tape measure • 7/16” open end wrench (coax connections) •... - Page 7 The shortest distance between the dome unit and the main satellite receiver is most desirable. b) The dome unit requires a 16.5” (model 9815-RJ) or 20” (model 9818-RJ) diameter mounting area on the vessel surface. You may also use an industry standard mount.

Page 9: Installation
Fig. 6A 9815-RJ IMPORTANT! The shipping bolt must be removed prior to installation. IMPORTANT! CAREFULLY remove the dome cover, tilting it side to side as necessary to prevent damaging internal components. Fig. 6B 9818-RJ IMPORTANT! The shipping bolt must be removed prior to installation. - Page 10 EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! NEVER lift the unit by the LNB assembly, Wave Guide assembly, or the dish. Lift the unit by the base ONLY. PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK To verify proper operation of the components, perform a Pre-Installation Check as follows: 1. Place the dome unit in your chosen location and on its mounting pedestal. Temporarily secure the unit from falling.
- Page 11 2. TEMPORARILY connect the system as outlined on page 13. If using both 50’ coax, label the ends of one coax to avoid confusion when making the connections. MAKE SURE TO CONNECT POWER LAST. 3. Verify system operates properly as described in Section 4 OPERATION, Page 18. DISH NETWORK - EXPRESSVU: If configuring the receiver for multiple satellite switching, do this now while the antenna unit is on a motionless platform (see page 24).
- Page 12 IMPORTANT! Make sure power supply is disconnected from 110 volt source before continuing with permanent installation. The installer is responsible for weatherproofing all holes in the vessel. Note: The installer is responsible for determining the most appropriate fastener to secure the dome unit to the pedestal or vessel surface.
- Page 13 3. Fill end of coax cable that will connect to the MAIN port on the dome unit with supplied dielectric grease. Connect this end of the coax cable to the MAIN port and tighten connection (Fig. 9). If using a second (auxiliary) receiver, fill end of second coax cable and connect it to the unlabeled port.
- Page 14 ELECTRICAL HAZARD WARNING! The coax 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.

Use the controller to manually switch satellites for the secondary receiver.
- Page 16 MULTIPLE SATELLITE RECEIVER CONFIGURATIONS With the use of an active multi-switch (sold separately by King Controls), more than two TV’s and receivers can be hooked up (see Fig. 11 for typical 4 receiver hookup). Diagram shows King Controls Multi-Switch #1810. Other options: 3-4 satellite receivers: use one 2x4 or 3x4 active multi-switch 8 satellite receivers: use one 2x8 or 3x8 active multi-switch...

- Page 18 OPTIONAL WALL MOUNT FACEPLATE (INCLUDED) Note: If not using the faceplate, see faceplate removal instructions below. IMPORTANT! Depending on the thickness of the vessel wall, a relief notch may need to be cut for the cable. THE CABLE MUST NOT BE PINCHED OR BENT WHEN MOUNTING THE DISPLAY. 1.
- Page 19 TUNER MOUNTING OPTIONS You can mount the tuner or leave it freestanding: a) You can mount the tuner to an appropriate surface (Fig. 14). b) You can leave the tuner freestanding. If space requirements dictate, the mounting feet can be snapped off. Fig.

Page 20: Operation
OPERATION SECTION 4 IMPORTANT! There must be a clear “line of sight” to the satellite (See Fig. 2, Page 3). Terrain, other boats, buildings, trees, masts, 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 (see pages 20-21). - Page 21 AUTOMATIC SATELLITE SWITCHING DIRECTV: Before using the automatic switching feature, you must configure the Sea-king and your receiver for your desired option. For switching options see pages 22. Dish Network - ExpressVu: Before using the automatic switching feature, you must configure the Sea-King and your receiver for your desired option.
- Page 22 SET SATELLITE SERVICE IMPORTANT!: If you choose any Dish Network or Bell ExpressVu option in steps 1-3 below, you must then run the check switch on pages 24-25. All of the satellite options listed may not be available with your unit. If you cannot lock onto your chosen satellite(s), call the King Controls Service Department.

AUTOMATIC SATELLITE SWITCHING SECTION 6 Dish Network - ExpressVu DISH 500 FOR DISH NETWORK The Sea-King will automatically switch between the 110 and 119 satellites for Dish Network by using the receiver’s remote control, after the receiver has been properly configured. Choose the Dish 110/119 option (see page 20) and then follow the instructions on pages 24-25. -
Page 26: Check Switch Procedure
CHECK SWITCH PROCEDURE SECTION 7 Dish Network - ExpressVu IMPORTANT! The antenna must be on the ground, dock or motionless platform with no movement in order to configure the DISH HD receiver. If you are an end user and the Sea-King is already permanently mounted, you can perform the configuration if the vessel is tied up tightly with no movement. - Page 27 6. When test is complete, a screen similar to ALL SINGLE SATELLITES one of the following should appear: (Screen graphics may vary.)
