Linear Wiring
Follow these steps to connect linear receivers to
the TracVision system (linear universal quad LNB
required).
Connecting 1-4 Linear Receivers
a. Connect an RF cable from the “Receiver” jack
on the TV-Hub to the “Satellite In” jack on the
first receiver (see Figure 21). This receiver will
be able to control satellite selection in Automatic
satellite switching mode.
b. When connecting multiple receivers, connect
a grounding block in-line with each RF cable
from the antenna (see Figure 22 and
“Grounding Requirements” on page 23).
c. Connect the other end of the RF1 cable to the
“Antenna” jack on the TV-Hub.
d. Connect any other RF cables from the
antenna (RF2, RF3, and RF4) to the “Satellite
In” jack on each additional receiver (see
Figure 22).
