SWiM Installation Meter Steps
# 1
– Install the SWiM ODU (SWiM Integrated LNB) to a secure stable surface, ensure that the mast is plumb and level
# 2
– Rough peak the SWiM ODU using the Azimuth, Elevation and Tilt obtained using the customers specific zip code coordinates
# 3
– Install an ASL or Single port power passing splitter, Install cabling from the KaKu ODU to an applicable ground block.
# 4
– Continue with cable run to the penetration point of the structure and inside the structure
# 5
– Install a SWiM Splitter
# 6
– Connect all internal cable runs to the SWiM Splitter
# 7
– Connect the cable run from the SWiM Integrated LNB to the SWiM port of the SWiM Power Inserter
# 8
– Connect the SWiM power inserter to an electrical outlet
# 9
– Peak the KaKu ODU using the peaking meter specific steps.
# 9a
, Once the peaking and dithering process is complete remove the ASL or the Single port power passing splitter from the SWM Integrated LNB.
# 10
– Connect the SWiM – 1 port of the IRD to the IRD port of the SWiM power inserter
Step # 11 to # 14 is required for SWiM Meter use only with the SWiM-ODU. Skip if you are using a standalone SWiM switch.
# 11
– Connect an IRD to an electrical power outlet. Models (D-12+, R-16+, H-20+, HR-20+) This IRD needs to be SWM enabled, so D12’s and H20’s with certain
native NDS software running will need to be force upgraded.
DO NOT UNPLUG SWiM POWER INSERTER FROM THE SWiM AT ANYTIME PAST THIS STEP WHEN USING THE SWiM INSTALLATION METER.
# 12
– Power on the IRD and complete the guided setup and/or the APG download. Verify that you see video after the APG download. Go to Step # 14. If you
cannot get to this point, go to step # 13.
# 13
– Check the IRD cable run, and redo if needed. Repeat step # 12.
# 14
– Remove the IRD from the cable run. *Once you are done with the SWiM meter diagnosis of all the cable runs described in the following steps, plug in the
cable to this first IRD. There is no need to redo the setup or reacquire guide.
# 15
– Connect the SWiM meter to any cable run that is connected to the SWiM splitter
# 16
– Press and hold the SWiM meter yellow button for 2 seconds, all LED’s should be lit
# 17
– Refer to Trouble Diagnosis page for test results (SWiM Meter Trouble Shooting Chart Page)
# 18
– Repeat test two times per cable run to verify same results
# 19
– Continue with installation – remember to reconnect any IRD that was disconnected after the registration process
Complete a phone line installation to each IRD. Don’t forget to complete all paper work and complete the customer education portion of the installation
