System Wiring DiagramsOne Mobile Receiver/Controller, One Standard-Def Home Receiver, and One Standard-Def DVRComponents Required• Splitter Kit, KVH P/N 72-0177• Destacker, Dual-output, KVH P/N 19-0410• Multiswitch, KVH P/N 19-0123• 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.Why Do I Need a Dual-output Destacker?• The multiswitch requires two unstacked inputs.Since the output of the TracVision antenna is astacked signal, the dual-output destacker is usedto split the signal into two unstacked signals.Compatible DIRECTV Receiver Models• The TracVision antenna is compatible with allnew DIRECTV-branded, standard-definition(non-HD) receiver models manufactured today.Older, non-DIRECTV-branded receiver modelsare not supported.Recording Limitation• Since the mobile receiver/controller controlssatellite selection, the DVR can record anychannel that is carried on the currently selectedsatellite; however it cannot record a channel thatis carried on a different satellite.Multiswitch• You will need an active multiswitch to connectmultiple components to the TracVision system.KVH recommends Channel Master model6314IFD or equivalent. This active (powered)multiswitch amplifies the signal to compensatefor signal loss. A passive multiswitch will notprovide the necessary amplification.54-0376A.19
