Tri-Americas Wiring
Follow these steps to connect both DIRECTV
Latin America and DIRECTV U.S. receivers to
the TracVision system (see Figure 31) (Tri-
Americas LNB required).
a. Run a second RF cable (RF2) from the
antenna (see "Wire the Antenna" on page
Be sure to connect a grounding block in-line
with the RF1 and RF2 cables from the antenna
(see Figure 31 and
Requirements" on page
b. Connect the RF2 cable from the grounding
block to the "LNB" jack on the 22KHz tone
generator (supplied in the kit).
c. Connect the "REC" connector on the tone
generator to the "13V" jack on the
multiswitch (supplied in the kit).
d. Connect the "Receiver" jack on the TV-Hub
to the "18V" jack on the multiswitch.
NOTE: If you need to connect more receivers, install a
multiswitch that has more outputs. KVH offers an 8-
output multiswitch (KVH part no. 19-0573).
e. Connect the multiswitch outputs to the
"Satellite In" jacks on the DIRECTV Latin
America and any non-SWM DIRECTV U.S.
receivers. To connect SWM DIRECTV U.S.
receivers, connect the external SWM-8 kit
(supplied in the kit) to the multiswitch. See
"Connecting 9-16 SWM Receivers (or
Tuners)" on page 17
f. Terminate any unused connectors on the
multiswitch and SWM splitter with 75
terminators and verify all connections are
tight.
g. For DIRECTV Latin America service, set the
tone generator switch to the "ON" position;
when using DIRECTV U.S. service, set the
tone generator switch to "OFF."
