Equipment and cable installation

 

 

 

This  offers  a  general  explanation  of  how  to  install  the  IDU  and  ‘Satellite  receiver’ 

(Satellite receiver is  Not supplied  in  this  kit),  to  the inside of  the RV,  connecting with 

the Main Control Cable and 2x coaxial cables. 

 

1. The 2x Coaxial cables and Main Control cable is routed from the antenna to the 

IDU inside the RV.   

2. After once deciding where to place the IDU and satellite receiver, make sure that 

both units are placed in a dry and protected area. 

3. The IDU and satellite receiver should be placed away from any heat source and in 

an area with proper ventilation. 

4. Ensure that there are at least 3cm of space around both units for ventilation and 

connection of cables.   

Do not stack the units on top of each other.

 

5. The following describes the basic wiring configurations for the antenna system. 

 

Connect the Main Control Cable to the Main cable connection on the rear of 

the IDU.   

 

Connect 1x Coaxial cable to the ‘Antenna’ port on the back of the IDU. 

 

Connect the 2

nd

 Coaxial cable to the Satellite receiver installed into the RV. 

 

Optional

(2

nd

Satellite Receiver/or Twin Tuner Satellite receiver connection) 

Connect the 1m Coaxial cable to the ‘Receiver’ port on the IDU and connect 

this  to  the  2

nd

  Satellite  Receiver  (or  to  the  2

nd

  LNB  input  of  a  Twin  Tuner 

Satellite receiver.)

Connecting power to the IDU

 

 

RED Wire = Connect to Max.5A FUSED 12V (+) Pos. Power circuit of the 

RV house battery.

 

 

THICK  BLACK  Wire  =  Connect  to  RV  Battery  Negative  (-)  /  Common 

Ground circuit.

 

 

YELLOW

*(Optional, May involve extra fitting costs) 

= Connect to Max.5A 

FUSED  12V  IGN(+)  Pos.  Power  circuit  of  the  RV  Chassis/Start  battery 

(Ignition feed from Key Switch) *NOTE* RED Wire of IDU needs to have 

Permanent power supply for this IGN+ Close option to function       

 

Thin Black = Connect to RV Chassis/Start Battery Negative (-) or Common 

Ground circuit.
