Two Mobile Receiver/Controllers
Components Required
• Splitter Kit, KVH P/N 72-0177
•(TracVision M3/M2 only)A Splitter Kit is included
in the Extra Receiver Kit (P/N 01-0288-01).
• The special DC block (40V) splitter included in
the Splitter Kit permits communications between
the 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
splitter’s “Primary” jack is the primary receiver/
controller. Only the primary receiver/controller
can communicate directly with the antenna to
report status and select satellites.
• The receiver/controller you connect to the
splitter’s “Secondary” jack is the secondary
receiver/controller.
• The secondary receiver/controller needs to be set
up for secondary operation. Follow the steps in
Section 9-4, “Designating the Receiver as Primary or
Secondary” on page 9.6.
• The primary receiver/controller supplies power
to the antenna. It must be turned on in order to
use the secondary receiver/controller.
• Only the primary receiver/controller can receive
local channels (within the DMA used on your
account).
Remote Control for Secondary Receiver/Controller
• To avoid interference or “cross talk” between the
two remote controls, you can program one of the
remotes for a different ID code. See Section 3-3,
“Controlling Multiple Receivers” on page 3.10 for
details.
ANTENNA Light on Secondary Receiver/Controller
• The ANTENNA light on the front panel of the
secondary receiver/controller will remain off at
all times. Only the primary receiver/controller
can monitor antenna status.
