Connecting the Receiver(s)

Connecting the RF Cable(s)
Each RF cable must be an RG-11 (75 ohms) or RG-6 (75 ohms)
cable fitted with F-type connectors. The RF cables should already
be connected to the antenna baseplate (see Step 11 of Section 2.2,
"Mounting the TracVision Antenna," on page 29). The following
sections explain how to connect the RF cable(s) to your satellite
TV receiver(s).
To connect the TracVision antenna to your receiver(s), choose one
of the following configurations (based on the number of receivers
you will connect to the antenna):
Option 1 - Connecting One Receiver
Option 2 - Connecting Two Receivers
Option 3 - Connecting Three or More Receivers
Option 1 - Connecting One Receiver
One end of the RF cable should already be connected to the RF1
plug on the TracVision antenna. Connect the other end of the RF1
cable to the receiver plug labeled "LNB," "ANT/SAT," or
"SATELLITE IN."
Option 2 - Connecting Two Receivers
Two RF cables should already be connected to the RF1 and RF2
plugs on the TracVision antenna. Connect the other ends of these
RF cables to the plug labeled "LNB," "ANT/SAT," or
"SATELLITE IN" on both receivers.
The receiver that is connected to the RF1 cable controls which
satellite the antenna is tracking. This is the master receiver. The
receiver connected to RF2 can select different channels on that
satellite but not change the satellite selection itself.

Before you connect an RF cable to
a receiver, turn on the receiver and
TV and verify that there is no AC
voltage present on the receiver's
input connector, measured between
center conductor and shield. If AC
voltage is present on the connector,
DO NOT connect the RF cable until
you have corrected the problem.
This is a potentially dangerous
condition that will damage the
antenna's electronics.
