Tri-Americas Wiring
Follow these steps to connect both DIRECTV
Latin America and DIRECTV U.S. receivers to
the TracVision system (see Figure 35).
NOTE:
The Tri-Americas LNB is required (KVH part
no. 72-0907).
a.
Run a second RF cable (RF2) from the
antenna (see
Be sure to connect a grounding block in-line
with the RF1 and RF2 cables from the antenna
b.
Connect the RF2 cable from the grounding
block to the “LNB” jack on the 22KHz tone
generator (
supplied in kit
).
c.
Connect the “REC” connector on the tone
generator to the “13V” jack on the
multiswitch (
supplied in 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 receivers. To connect SWM
DIRECTV U.S. receivers, connect the external
SWM-8 kit (
supplied in kit
) to the multiswitch.
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.”
