System Overview
The Smart antenna selector allows to select the RF signal coming from two antennas
and route it directly to a designated TV distribution (DIRECT MODE see pag....) or
balance the same RF signal received from two antennas and route the better to each
TV distribution (SMART MODE see pag...).
The Smart Antenna Selector is designed to work with KVH TV series and HD series
antennas only

Installation and mounting
Plan the Smart Antenna Selector Installation :
-Select a mounting location in a dry,well-ventilated area away from any heat sources
or salt spray.
-The device can be mounted horizontally on a flat surface or inside a rack.
- For rack mount be sure to have enough space , the device need 3x19'' rack units
and 35 cm depth.
-Leave enough room behind the rear panel (horizontal mount) or below the rear
panel (vertical mount) to accommodate connecting the cables and making service
loops within the proper bend radius.
−Select a location where led lights and buttons will be visible to the user.
Installation
−Connect the RF cables coming from antenna A into “ANTENNA A” RF input
−Connect the RF cables coming from antenna B into “ANTENNA B” RF input
−Connect the “ ROUP A” antenna output to multiswich of a “TV DISTRIBUTION
A”
−Connect the “ ROUP B” antenna output to multiswich of a “TV DISTRIBUTION
B”

Instruction
Direct Mode
This mode is useful to have the two antennas tracking different satellites and have
the two distributions working contemporary. For example, if you have a Sky UK and a
SKY Italy distributions (A and B) you have to select Astra 28E on
antenna A and Hotbird 13E on antenna B. Selecting DIRECT both distributions will
have signal and you can watch Sky UK and SKY Italy at the same time.
So, resuming antenna A supply distribution A and antenna B supply distribution B.
The vice-versa is not possible.
For use this function mode push “DIRECT” button on front panel .
