Cable installation:
Connect the control cable and power cable to the back of the TRAV’LER Interface box as shown below.
Note:
For cable runs longer than 25’ an extension may be purchased. Do not exceed 50’ of cable.
Attach the TRAV’LER control cable to the TRAV’LER Interface Box, as shown in Figure 5A.
Attach the output cable from the Power supply to the TRAV’LER Interface Box. See above.
Finally, connect a coax cable from the TRAV’LER mount to each of the receivers being used with the TRAV’LER
Automatic Satellite Dish. See Appendix for information on properly installing a Hex Connector.
Find a location to plug in the TRAV’LER Power supply and plug it in.
Reflector Installation:
Once the wires are run and the sealant has started to cure:
Check to be sure that there is nothing above the TRAV’LER that might prevent it from raising. You will need at
least 40” of clearance above the TRAV’LER Mount to ensure that you have room to install the reflector.
Raise Antenna:
There are two ways to raise the antenna. Either Automatic or Manual explained below:
