Connecting 9 -13 SWM Receivers (13 Tuners Max)
a. Connect an RF cable from the “Signal to IRD”
connector on the SWM power inserter to the
“SWM” input on a 2-way SWM splitter (see
Figure 27).
b. Connect the 2-way SWM splitter’s outputs to
the “SWM” inputs on two 8-way SWM splitters.
c. Connect the 8-way SWM splitter’s outputs to
the “Satellite In” jacks on the receivers/DVRs
(or “Network” jack when connecting a Genie
client). Connect any combination of SWM
devices that add up to 13 or fewer tuners. Refer
to Figure 27 to determine the tuners consumed
by each type of device.
NOTE: HR34 and HR44 both reserve 5 tuners. The
HR54 reserves 7 tuners.
d. Terminate any unused outputs on the splitters
with 75terminators and tighten with a
7/16" torque wrench set to 20 in.-lbs.
When wiring the receivers, be sure to keep the
number of splits to no more than two per path.
