Follow these steps to connect the antenna to the
belowdecks equipment.
NOTE: System wiring diagrams are provided in
Appendix F on page 31.
a. If you are connecting two receivers to the
TracVision system, decide which receiver
will be the primary receiver. The primary
receiver controls satellite selection.
NOTE: The secondary receiver will only be able to
select a channel carried on the satellite that is
currently selected on the primary receiver.
b. Connect the RF1 cable from the antenna to
the “Satellite In” jack on the primary receiver
(see Figure 18).
c. If you are connecting two receivers, connect
the RF2 cable from the antenna to the
“Satellite In” jack on the secondary receiver.
d. Connect the receiver(s) to the customer’s
television(s). Follow the instructions in the
receiver’s manual.
e. Connect the data/power cable from the
antenna to the “Output to Antenna” jack on
the MCU (see Figure 19). Do not overtighten
the connection; finger-tight is sufficient.
If you wish to connect three or more receivers
to the antenna, see Appendix B on page 23.

Be sure all receivers are grounded properly.
Connect a ground wire from the chassis of
each receiver to the MCU’s DC return. This
will ensure all system grounds are the same
potential.
