Tuner Ribbon

Cable

Verify that all of the 20-pin connectors of the Tuner Ribbon Cable are securely plugged into their respective boards.

While it is recommended that you use the Slot 2 connector on the ribbon cable to connect the Tuner installed in Slot 2 (in this case, the DAS-AMFM Tuner), the ribbon cable itself does not determine which Tuner is Tuner 1 and Tuner 2. This determination is set by the jumper settings on each Tuner Module (see “Tuner 1 Jumper Settings” and “Tuner 2 Jumper Settings” above. Therefore, it is not required that the connections indicated in FIG. 10 are followed exactly, as long as the Tuner Jumper Settings are set correctly for each installed Tuner Module.

The Controller should only be powered back on once all Tuners are installed and the cover is replaced on the chassis.

Connecting and Positioning the SIRIUS Antenna

1.Connect the provided SIRIUS Antenna to the DAS-SIRIUS (see FIG. 56 on page 39).

2.Verify the Signal strength

a.Access the programming menus via the front of the Controller.

b.Select Setup\SIRIUS.

c.Select "Status".

d.Select "SAT" to determine the Satellite Signal Strength. Ensure the signal strength is at a minimum of "weak". Adjustments may need to be made to the position of the Antenna in order to get a better signal.
