2.3.5.2 Connecting Three or More Receivers

and TVs

(North American Systems)

To install three or more receiver/TV pairs, an active multiswitch

(Channel Master model 6214IFD or equivalent) must be placed

between the antenna unit and the receivers. Figure 2-15 illustrates

typical wiring arrangements for multiple receivers. If more than

four receivers are required, contact KVH for additional wiring

instructions. Mount the multiswitch unit in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instruction sheet.

1. Connect the RF cable tagged “RF1” to the

multiswitch input labeled “LNB RHCP +13V.”

2. Connect a second RF cable to the multiswitch

input labeled “LNB LHCP +18V.”

Connect the multiswitch outputs to individual

eceiver inputs. Use RG-6 cable terminated with

F-type connectors for all RF connections.

Installing Three or Four Receivers

Using an Active Multiswitch

TracVision R5/R4 has the capability

to switch from one satellite to

another when you choose TV

channels that are carried by your

o selected satellites. However,

the use of an active multiswitch

may interfere with the 22 KHz tone

sent by DIRECTV DSS Plus

™

receiv

ers to the antenna.

In this

case, you will need to use the

optional TV/SAT Switch* or a PC as

described in Section 3.2

, “Changing

Channels and Switching Between

Satellites

”

* To order a TV/SAT Switch (KVH Part

Number 01-0245), please call

+1 401 847-3327.
