or Two TracVision
Receivers to a TracVision
A5/M3 System
The following pages explain how to connect a second or third
TracVision A5/M3 12V receiver to the TracVision A5 or
TracVision M3 system. This kit supports the following wiring
configurations:
• Original TracVision A5/M3 12V receiver +
one (1) additional TracVision A5/M3 12V receiver
• Original TracVision A5/M3 12V receiver +
two (2) additional TracVision A5/M3 12V receivers
(requires two
second receiver kits (02-1340))
If you need to connect more than two additional receivers, you
will need to purchase a multiple receiver kit (P/N 72-0181) and
an active multiswitch (P/N 19-0123).

receiver, be sure to install the original TracVision A5/M3 12V
receiver first and test the system for proper operation, as
described in the Installation Guide. Once you've tested the system
in a single-receiver configuration, follow these instructions to
install your additional receiver(s).
