DirecTV SWiM User manual

The information contained on these pages are confidential, proprietary DIRECTV business information and is intended for authorized users
only. Unauthorized use, disclosure or copying of this information is strictly prohibited and may be unlawful.

Definitions:
Cap: Screw on cover for a port
Terminator: Cap with internal 75 ohm resistor for terminating ports electrically.
Inside:
SWiM Module Port 2 out – The attached terminator must be used if the port is not in use.
Single Port Power Passing Splitters – All unused ports must be terminated
SWiM Power inserters – The IRD port must be terminated if not used as part of the installation
Outside: All outside ports require weather protection.
Weather protection comprises of a closing method and a weather seal
Port in Use: F connector with a weather seal. The connector must be torqued to 30in/lbs
SWiM Switch port 2 out– The attached terminator must be used with a weather seal if the port is not in use.
All other outside unused ports: Require a cap with a weather seal
Using terminators or caps where not intended will result in service quality issues which may not be apparent at the time of install.
Key Installation Items
Examples:
“The following grounding diagrams illustrate only a few examples of
ways to bond a DIRECTV system and may not meet bonding
requirements in every municipality within the United States. It is the
responsibility of the installer/technician performing the installation to
know and follow all local, state and federal grounding regulations
within the area he or she is working.”
To make a weather cap –
simply remove the center
stinger of a terminator cap
using a pair of side cutters

dB Calculations
To promote a better understanding of dB losses and dBm power within a DIRECTV installation, charts such as what
is listed below are provided on each of the installation diagrams contained in this material.
These charts will show a single path dB loss, a single path is defined as a single cable run from the ODU to a
receivers tuner.
All cable runs are based off of a maximum distance of 150ft
Relative dBm values are listed on each diagram at the ODU
dBm levels seen will vary and are based off of geographic location as well as proper peaking of the ODU
As a rule dBm readings at the receivers tuner input should not exceed -60 dBm
Example: Path 1 has 6 F-connectors, 2 F-81 barrels and 150 feet of RG-6 cable, and 1 SWS 4 splitter, the maximum
frequency used is 1178MHz (1 HD DVR).The result is 26.5 db of loss in the RG-6 cable run.
Lets say that we have -30 dBm of power at the ODU, subtract 26.5 dB (for cable run loss) – anticipated result is -56.5
dB at the receivers tuner input.

The following is only an example, actual SWiM
channel assignments are unknown to the user or to
the technician.
Channel Assignment Examples
IRD 1, Tuner 1 – is assigned SWiM Channel 1
IRD 1, Tuner 2 – is assigned SWiM Channel 2
IRD 2 Tuner 1 – is assigned SWiM Channel 3
Programming Selections Example
IRD 1, Tuner 1 requests programming channel 201
(DIRECTV Basics), the SWiM LNB takes orbital
location 101° transponder 20 and modulates the
programming onto SWiM channel 1
IRD 1, Tuner 2 requests programming channel 294
(Discovery Kids), the SWiM LNB takes orbital
location 101° transponder 4 and modulates the
programming onto SWiM channel 2
IRD 2, Tuner requests programming channel 285
(Discovery Times), the SWiM LNB takes orbital
location 101° transponder 18 and modulates the
programming onto SWiM channel 3
