Page 6: Installation
INSTALLATION SECTION 3 TOOLS AND MATERIALS REQUIRED: - drill and drill bit set - tape measure - 7/16” open end wrench (coax connections) - adhesive sealant (compatible with roof material) - appropriate fasteners and tools to install all components and wiring - 5/32”... - Page 7 IMPORTANT! The tie strap and spacer, and the bolts and washers must be removed from the bottom of the dome unit prior to installation. DO NOT REMOVE THE DOME COVER TO REMOVE THESE SHIPPING RESTRAINTS. YOU MUST PLUG THE SHIPPING RESTRAINT HOLE AND TWO SHIPPING BOLT HOLES WITH THE SUPPLIED PLUGS.
- Page 8 Insert provided plugs into holes that were occupied by tie strap and shipping bolts. Inserted plugs should be flush with base (Fig. 6). Fig. 6 IMPORTANT! After removing shipping restraints, firmly insert plugs into appropriate holes. Plugs should be flush with base. Page 6...
- Page 9 DOME LOCATION 1. Select an area on the roof for the dome unit and the location where the coax cables will enter the vehicle through the roof to the satellite receivers and internal components. Use the following criteria: a) The shortest distance between the dome unit and the main satellite receiver is most desirable.
- Page 10 3. The dome unit must be positioned so that both feet on each side of the vehicle are equal distances from the roof edge. This should be checked by measuring the distance from each foot to the roof edge. Confirm that these measurements are equal (Fig. 8). Fig.
- Page 11 COMPONENT LOCATION 1. Determine the location of the internal components using the following criteria: a) The Controller, Tuner, and Power Supply should be in the same general vicinity of the main satellite receiver, and ACCESSIBLE FOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PURPOSES. b) The Tuner should not be stacked directly on top of other electronics.
- Page 12 COIL AND STORE EXCESS CABLE IN THE CABINET WITH THE COMPONENTS. DO NOT CUT COAX. If coaxial cable other than that supplied with the King-Dome is used, the following guide lines must be followed (Fig. 10): 1) Ends must be terminated with SNAP-N-SEAL ® connectors.
- Page 13 2. Test that the dome unit is secure by pulling upward from each foot location. Note. The King-Dome is wired for a dual LNB. There are two coaxial ports on the back of the dome unit. The one labeled “MAIN” MUST be connected to the Tuner (IDB) in vehicle. The one labeled “AUX” can be used for an additional receiver (see page 15).
- Page 14 5. Run coax from the back of the dome unit to the roof edge, then along edge to location where coax will be fed into the vehicle. (If installing an optional second receiver, run auxiliary coax to location where it will enter the vehicle.) Secure wiring to roof every 12- 18 inches (Fig.

- Page 16 ELECTRICAL HAZARD WARNING! The coaxial 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.

Page 20: Operation
OPERATION SECTION 4 IMPORTANT! There must be a clear “line of sight” to the satellite (See Fig. 2, Page 3). Mountains, buildings, trees, 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 Note: For DIRECTV switching options see page 22. For Dish Network - ExpressVu switching options see page 23. 1. Simply choose your desired channel using the receiver’s remote control. The Trac-King will automatically switch to the appropriate satellite. Note: For better performance when using the automatic satellite switching feature, change channels by selecting your program from the channel guide rather than channel surfing.

AUTOMATIC SATELLITE SWITCHING SECTION 6 Dish Network - ExpressVu DISH 500 FOR DISH NETWORK The Trac-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. Follow the instruction on pages 24-25. - Page 26 DISH 500 for DISH NETWORK IMPORTANT! In order for all receivers to work properly, each one must be configured separately while connected to the MAIN port on the Trac-King. If you do not have a clear view of both satellites, the switch will not load. King Controls recommends using a Dish Network model 311 receiver for automatic satellite switching.
