Electrical connection to antenna dome
The SMC 55 NAUTIC must be connected to a 24 volt DC power supply. The current
drawn when connected to a 24 Volt supply is around 3 amps.
The (brief) switch-on current is appreciably higher and is dependent among other
factors on the supply cable installed.
It is advisable to use a galvanically separated supply.
The supply terminal "+" should be connected to the plug clamp marked "24VDC" and
the "-" terminal to the 0V plug clamp.
The 5-pole plug is to be connected to the MCM unit.
Note: the system can be switched on and off using a switch which makes and
breaks the supply circuit. This method of switching off will ensure that the system
is not permanently connected to the satellite.
The SMC55 NAUTIC is equipped as standard for the connection of 4 tuners with
unlimited channel reception. It is possible to connect more tuners with the use of a
switchbox. More information can be provided by your supplier.
