Option 3 - Connecting Three or More Receivers
(System Equipped with a Linear Quad LNB)
Systems equipped with a linear quad LNB have four RF outputs
that can be connected to individual receivers.
Connecting Three or Four Receivers
To connect a third receiver, a third RF cable should already be
connected to the RF3 plug on the TracVision antenna. Connect
the other end of the RF3 cable to the plug labeled “LNB,”
“ANT/SAT,” or “SATELLITE IN” on the third receiver. To
connect a fourth receiver, use the fourth RF cable, which should
already be connected to the RF4 plug on the antenna.
Connecting More than Four Receivers
To connect more than four receivers, you will need to install an
active multiswitch that generates a 22 KHz tone (for example,
Spaun models 5602NF or 5802NF). Connect the multiswitch unit
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Figure 2-15
shows an example of a European multiswitch configuration.
