2.3.6 Connecting the Antenna RF Signal Cable
to the IRD
The RF signal cable (cable #32-0417-50) is fitted with F-type
connectors. One end should be connected to the plug labeled
“RF1” on the base of the TracVision 4 system and the other to the
IRD plug labeled “LNB” or “ANT/SAT.” If a second IRD is to be
hooked up to the TracVision 4 antenna unit, the RF cable for the
second IRD should be connected to the plug labeled “RF2” while
the other end is connected to the IRD plug labeled “LNB” or
“ANT/SAT” on the second IRD.
Multiswitch Installation (Three or More IRDs)
For multiple IRD/TV installations, an active multiswitch
(Channel Master model 6214IFD or equivalent) is placed between
the Antenna Unit and the IRDs. Figure 2-12 illustrates typical
wiring arrangements for multiple IRDs. Mount the multiswitch
unit in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction sheet.
