2.3 Connecting the IRD(s)
Connecting the RF Cable(s)
Each RF cable must be an RG-11 (75 ohms) cable fitted with
F-type connectors. The RF cables should already be connected to
the antenna baseplate (see Step 12 of Section 2.2, “Mounting the
TracVision Antenna,” on page 29). The following sections explain
how to connect the RF cable(s) to your satellite TV receiver(s)
(IRDs).
To connect the TracVision antenna to your IRDs, choose one of
the following configurations (based on the number of IRDs you
will connect to the antenna):
Option 1 - Connecting One IRD
Option 2 - Connecting Two IRDs
Option 3 - Connecting Three or More IRDs
Option 1 - Connecting One IRD
One end of the RF cable should already be connected to the RF1
plug on the base of the TracVision antenna. Connect the other
end of the RF1 cable to the IRD plug labeled “LNB,”
“ANT/SAT,” or “SATELLITE IN.”
Option 2 - Connecting Two IRDs
Two RF cables should already be connected to the RF1 and RF2
plugs on the base of the TracVision antenna. Connect the other
ends of these RF cables to the plug labeled “LNB,” “ANT/SAT,”
or “SATELLITE IN” on two IRDs.

For instructions on RF wiring for
TracNet, please refer to the TracNet
Owner’s Manual or Technical
Manual.
The IRD that is connected to the
“RF1” cable controls which satellite
the antenna is tracking. The IRD
connected to “RF2” can select
different channels on that satellite
but not change the satellite
selection itself.
