KVH Industries antenna system - Manual (Page 104)

Three TracVision Mobile Receivers
Components Required
• Two Splitter Kits, KVH P/N 72-0177
• The special splitter included in the Splitter Kit
permits communications between the antenna
and the primary receiver. A standard off-the-
shelf splitter will not work.
Primary vs. Secondary
• The receiver you connect to the first splitter’s
“Primary” jack is the primary receiver. Only the
primary receiver can communicate directly with
the antenna to report status and select satellites.
• All other receivers are secondary receivers.
• The secondary receivers need to be set up for
secondary operation. Follow the steps in
Section 9-4, “Designating the Receiver as Primary or
Secondary” on page 9.6.
• The primary receiver supplies power to the
antenna. It must be turned on in order to use the
secondary receivers.
• Only the primary receiver can receive local
channels (within the DMA used on your account).
Remote Control for Secondary Receivers
• To avoid interference or “cross talk” between the
three remote controls, you can program each
remote for a different ID code. See Section 3-3,
“Controlling Multiple Receivers” on page 3.10 for
details.
ANTENNA Light on Secondary Receivers
• The ANTENNA light on the front panel of the
secondary receivers will remain off at all times.
Only the primary receiver can monitor antenna
status.
Minimize Signal Loss
• Cable lengths between receivers should be kept
as short as possible to minimize signal loss.
