System Wiring DiagramsThree Mobile Receiver/ControllersComponents Required• Two Splitter Kits, KVH P/N 72-0177• (TracVision M3/M2 only) A Splitter Kit is includedin the Extra Receiver Kit (P/N 01-0288-01).• The special DC block (40V) splitter included inthe Splitter Kit permits communications betweenthe antenna and the primary receiver/controller.A standard off-the-shelf splitter will not work.Primary vs. Secondary• The receiver/controller you connect to the firstsplitter’s “Primary” jack is the primary receiver/controller. Only the primary receiver/controllercan communicate directly with the antenna toreport status and select satellites.• All other receiver/controllers are secondaryreceiver/controllers.• The secondary receiver/controllers need to be setup for secondary operation. Follow the steps inSection 9-4, “Designating the Receiver as Primary orSecondary” on page 9.6.54-0376• The primary receiver/controller supplies powerto the antenna. It must be turned on in order touse the secondary receiver/controllers.• Only the primary receiver/controller can receivelocal channels (within the DMA used on youraccount).Remote Control for Secondary Receiver/Controllers• To avoid interference or “cross talk” between thethree remote controls, you can program eachremote for a different ID code. See Section 3-3,“Controlling Multiple Receivers” on page 3.10 fordetails.ANTENNA Light on Secondary Receiver/Controllers• The ANTENNA light on the front panel of thesecondary receiver/controllers will remain off atall times. Only the primary receiver/controllercan monitor antenna status.Minimize Signal Loss• Cable lengths between receiver/controllersshould be kept as short as possible to minimizesignal loss.A.9
