WARNING

Make all electrical and coax connections from the controller to the mount
and LNB's BEFORE applying power to, or connecting the satellite
receiver to the controller

Note: When the controller is turned OFF it will still pass voltage from the receiver to the
LNB if the receiver is plugged in to 110 AC. Shorting of the coax at any time during
installation may cause damage to either the Controller or the DiSEqC Switch (if installed).
Failure to follow this procedure can result in voiding of warranty replacement, not to
mention time spent trying to troubleshoot a system that does not perform.

REMEMBER

90% of all problems are a result of CONNECTIVITY or CONFIGURATION.

CONNECTIONS

CONTROL CABLE CONNECTION:

Termination of the 12 wires of the control cable to the controller takes place here.

TO SATELLITE RECEIVER

This is a coax pass-through connection to your satellite receiver (Satellite IN). It is
optional except for DirecTV SWM.

TO LNB:

This is a coax connection to the Antenna's LNB. The connection is made at the base of the mount to
any one of 4 coax cables that run through the mount and is secured to the LNB.

If you have DirecTV SWM, then the cable attached to the DiSEqC switch must be routed
directly to the controller uninterrupted to the connection marked "TO LNB". (see configuration to
determine which coax at the base of the mount goes to the controller).
