3.3.3.
Pedestal Power - An appropriate source of AC Voltage (110 VAC 60 Hz OR 220 VAC 50 Hz) is required for
the above decks equipment. Refer to the Specifications section of this manual for the power consumption of
the antenna pedestal.

3.3.4.
The TVRO Antenna system, with the appropriate LNB installed, can be used with standard European satellite
receivers, and Integrated Receiver-Decoders (IRD). Both can receive “free” programming, but an IRD is
required when the desired programming is encrypted. When authorized, it will decode the encrypted signals
for use. Authorizing the receiver-decoder is a process of registering your receiver(s) and paying subscription
fees to the service provider. The service provider then arranges for a signal to be sent through the satellite to
your receiver-decoder, which will “enable” it to decode the programming you subscribed to.
Satellite Receivers
A coax connection from the antenna (via the matrix switch) provides signal input to the receiver. The
receiver also outputs voltage and tone control to the matrix switch to select the correct band and
polarization signal for the channel you want to watch. A coax connection from the TV OUTPUT jack on the
satellite receiver is connected to the ANTENNA INPUT on the television. Alternately, individual audio/video,
Audio & S-Video, or SCART cable connections may be made between the satellite receiver and the television.
3.3.5.
An appropriate television monitor is used to view the satellite television programming and to view the on
screen displays from the receiver.

3.3.6.
A matrix switch must be installed with all of the antenna IF coax cables connected to its’ LNB inputs. A coax
cable (RG-6 OR greater) is connected from each matrix switch output to each satellite receiver. Sea Tel
recommends that an ACTIVE Matrix be used in all installations. Matrix switches with 4, 8, 12 and 16 outputs
are available.
Matrix Switch
Each of the outputs can be connected to a satellite receiver, one of these outputs must be connected the
tracking receiver in the ACU. Each output of the matrix switch is controlled by voltage, and/or tone, from the
satellite connected to that output connector. This voltage, and/or tone, selects which of the input signals
gets routed to that output connector, therefore, to that receiver. Each output of the matrix switch operates
independently of the others, therefore, allows the satellite receivers to operate independently also. As you
change channels on the satellite receiver, it uses the voltage, and/or tone, to select the correct signal input for
the channel you have selected.
