In Step 6, you routed the RF coax cables from the
antenna, through the cable access hole, and into
the vessel. Follow these steps to connect the RF
coax cable(s) to the customer’s satellite TV
receiver(s).
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 21).
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.
If you wish to connect three or more receivers
to the antenna, see Appendix A on page 21.

Be sure all receivers are grounded. If the
receiver has a 2-prong power plug, run a
ground wire from the receiver’s chassis to a
suitable ground point. If a potential exists
between AC and DC grounds, connect the
wire to the switchplate’s DC return instead.
