Status 530 Directional Tv And Fm Radio Antenna - Swift Tourer Owner's Handbook Manual

- Locate the primary TV position within the
caravan. At the 12V, TV and SAT socket,
connect your TV to the output from the
socket marked SAT with a suitable lead.
2. Connect an external satellite dish to a
decoder within the caravan. (The direct
link uses F-type interconnects throughout
to allow the decoder and dish to
communicate correctly)
- Connect the dish to the socket (or flying
lead) in the battery box with a suitable
lead. The F-type to co-ax adaptor should
not be used.
- Connect the dish input connection on the
decoder to the 'SAT' socket on the 12V,
TV and SAT socket located in the primary
TV location.
3. Supply a signal from within the caravan to
the exterior of the caravan
- Connect the output from your VCR,
DVD player or other device to the SAT
connection on the 12V, TV and SAT socket
at the primary TV position.
- Connect your receiving device (TV or
similar) to the socket in the battery box
with a suitable lead.
As can be seen from the simplified schematic,
when multiple TV locations are present in a
van, all of these receive signals from the TV
aerial connection box. Using adaptors and
link cables which are readily available, it may
be possible to re-direct a signal from the
'SAT' connection at the primary TV location,
up to the aerial connection box to be then
distributed to other TV positions within the
caravan. Please remember that as the number
of connections increases the quality of the
signal reduces.
