If you are installing a linear system (with the 
exception of Sky Mexico), follow these steps to 
connect the customer’s satellite TV receiver(s) to 
the TracVision system.

a. If you are connecting multiple receivers to the 

TracVision system, decide which receiver 

will be the primary receiver. The primary 

receiver controls satellite selection.

NOTE: The additional receiver(s) will be able to select 
channels carried on the satellite that is currently 
selected by the primary receiver. 

b. Connect the RF1 cable from the antenna to 

the “Satellite In” connector on the primary 

receiver (see Figure 24).

c. If you have a second receiver, connect the 

RF2 cable from the antenna to the “Satellite 

In” connector on the second receiver.

d. If the system is equipped with a quad LNB 

and you have a third receiver, connect the 

RF3 cable from the antenna to the “Satellite 

In” connector on the third receiver.

e. If the system is equipped with a quad LNB 

and you are connecting a fourth receiver, 

connect the RF4 cable from the antenna to the 

“Satellite In” connector on the fourth 

receiver.

NOTE: If you need to connect more than four 
receivers to the TracVision system, install an active 
multiswitch that generates a 22 KHz tone (such as 
Spaun model SMS 5602 NF - KVH part #19-0413). 
Connect the multiswitch in accordance with the 
manufacturer’s instructions.

f. Connect the receiver(s) to the customer’s 

television(s). Follow the instructions in the 

receiver’s manual.

Be sure all receivers are grounded. If the 

receiver has a 2-prong power plug, run a 

ground wire from the receiver’s chassis to a 

suitable ground point. If a potential exists 

between AC and DC grounds, connect the 

wire to the switchplate’s DC return instead.

IMPORTANT!

Wire the Receiver(s)
