TRAV’LER Multi-Satellite HDTV Antenna Notes
1. If a third receiver is used, connect coax C. Coax port C on the unit is disabled during the
search mode. It may be easiest for most customers if they do not have the third receiver
powered on until the search is completed. The coax for a third receiver is not supplied;
you will need to add this coax if a third receiver is required.
2. If the customer levels the vehicle after the unit has completed a search, the dish may no
longer be on signal and a new search would be required.
3. If the unit cannot find the primary satellite (119
o
for DISH, 101
o
for DIRECTV, or 91.5
o
for ExpressVu) due to an obstruction, the search will fail. The RV would have to be
moved to a location where this satellite can be found.
4. If a secondary or the third satellite were to be blocked, the unit will provide the viewer
with the satellites available.
5. If installing the system in a building or under a roof, make sure that you have a minimum
of 40 inches from the roof of the RV to any thing above the system. If not, damage or
injury may occur.
6. From the installation menu you can raise the dish to install the reflector. If you do not get
into the installation menu within the first 10 seconds after turning the unit on, it will enter
the search routine. Once it is in the search routine, it is still easy to enter the menu but the
TRAV’LER will continue to move. If the antenna raises past half way before you select
“RAISE ANTENNA”, the TRAV’LER will raise until it hits its upper hard stop and
motor stall.
7. This is normal. The ‘Motor Stall’ message is the unit’s way of telling you that you are
already all the way up and it cannot raise anymore. The reflector can now be installed.
After installation is completed, press [Power] to clear the error and stow the antenna.
8. You can also lower the dish from the installation menu. It is important to remember that
“Lowering” the antenna is not “Stowing” the antenna, even though the system may
appear “stowed”. The “Lower” function was implemented to help a user who might hit
an obstruction while deploying and who needs a way to lower the unit to prevent
damage. (Caution: When lowering the antenna in this manner, the dish comes down no
matter where it is, potentially onto anything that is under it.)
9. Bell TV users require an SK-1000 dish and a Bell ExpressVu receiver.
10. If you plan to shorten the length of the supplied coax cables, caution is recommended as
the black coax and the black control cable are somewhat similar. The control cable
MAY NOT be cut.
11. Should more than 3 or 4 receivers be installed, depending on the model, this would be
accomplished the same as in a residential installation. Install the multi-switch per multi-
switch instructions, covered in subsequent pages.
