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)
