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.”
3. Connect the multiswitch outputs to individual
receiver 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
two selected satellites. However,
the use of an active multiswitch
may interfere with the 22 KHz tone
sent by DIRECTV DSS Plus
™
receivers 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
