The King-Dome model KD5500 Automatic Satellite System is designed for permanent, roof mounted
installation on a recreational vehicle. A single coaxial cable connection between the King-Dome
antenna and your DISH Network model ViP211, ViP211k or 411 receiver provides power to the
automated positioning system under the dome and transmits your SD and HD satellite video signals
to your receiver.
An optional second receiver may be connected to provide independent channel viewing on two
different TVs. Your DISH Network programming is broadcast from two or three satellites and the
King-Dome automatically switches between satellites based on the channel selected on your main
receiver. Channels available on the second receiver will depend on the channel (satellite) selected
by the main receiver.
SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
TOOLS AND MATERIALS REQUIRED

DOME UNIT LOCATION
1. Select an area on the roof for the dome unit and the location where the wiring will enter the
vehicle through the roof to the satellite receiver inside using the following criteria:
a) A shorter distance between the dome unit and the satellite receiver is most desirable.
b) The dome unit requires a 28 inch diameter mounting area.
c) The dome unit should be mounted on the centerline of the vehicle.
d) There must be no “line of sight” obstructions. Air conditioning units, other antennas, and
storage areas that are too close to the dome unit may prevent the satellite signal from
reaching the antenna (Fig. 3).

8312 Sidbury Rd.; Wilmington, NC 28411 - [phone] / [phone]

Page 13
DOWNLOADING PROGRAMMING TO THE SECOND RECEIVER
The channels available on the second receiver are determined by the channel/satellite selected by
the main receiver. For example, if you select a channel on the main receiver that is broadcast from
the 119 satellite, then the second receiver will be able to view any channel broadcast from the 119
satellite after performing the following procedure:
With the antenna locked on, re-set the second receiver by pressing the POWER button on the front
panel for 10 seconds. The TV picture will go away and should reappear within two minutes. The
receiver will then download the program guide to show only the channels available on the current
satellite as determined by the channel selected on the main receiver. Downloading the new
program guide can take up to five minutes to complete.
If you switch channels on the main receiver to one that is broadcast from a different satellite, (i.e.
your channel was broadcast from satellite 119 but your new channel is broadcast from the 110 or
129), the antenna will automatically switch to the new satellite and programming will be lost on the
second receiver until you either:
• Select a channel on the main receiver that is broadcast from the previous satellite (satellite
119 in this example).
(or)
• Reset the second receiver to download the program guide for the newly selected satellite
(satellite 110 or 129 in this example).
TIP: Most DISH Network HD channels are broadcast from the 129 satellite location. Selecting an HD channel on the
main receiver before re-setting the second receiver will provide independent viewing of most available HD
channels on either receiver.

SATELLITE TV RECEPTION
Satellite TV signals are broadcast from satellites in a geo-stationary orbit over the earth. This
enables the satellites to stay aligned over one place on the surface of the earth and to transmit your
television programming to the antenna (inside dome unit) when pointed at the appropriate satellite.
Your television programming is delivered from up to 3 satellites located at the 110°, 119°, and 129°
west longitudes. The King-Dome will automatically find and then switch between satellites as you
change channels on the main receiver to
offer you the ideal viewing experience.
Due to the low look angle for the 129
satellite in the northeastern region of
the United States, you may experience
difficulty viewing programming from the
129 satellite while in the northeastern
region. (Programming from the 110 and
119 satellites should still be available.)
RAIN AND SNOW FADE
Though rare, heavy rain, snow, or dense cloud cover can reduce the satellite signal, which may
interrupt your programming. Your programming should return as conditions improve. Page 17

SECTION 7 MAINTENANCE
Single Application Packet #1830-SP Spray Can #1830
NOTE: Dome Magic®will discolor black domes or domes painted a dark color.
The King-Dome Satellite System has been designed to be maintenance and trouble free.
For optimum performance, keep the dome clean from dirt, bugs, and other debris. Periodic washing
of the dome with mild soap and water is recommended.
If you plan on storing your vehicle for long periods of time, it is recommended that the system be put
through a search procedure on a quarterly basis to keep all moving parts in good working order.
If you have any comments or questions, please contact the King Controls Service Department at
[phone], or email King Controls at [email protected].
Rain Fade
Rain or dew on the dome can cause signal interference and make the digital picture freeze, pixel or
go out altogether. This loss of signal is commonly referred to as “rain fade” and is caused by the
combination of water in the atmosphere and water on the dome surface.
To minimize this issue and eliminate the effects of water on the dome, apply King Controls
Dome Magic®rain fade solution to the dome. This will prevent water from adhering to the dome
surface and blocking the signal. For additional details on Dome Magic®rain fade solution please
contact an authorized King-Dome dealer or call King Controls at [phone].
IMPORTANT! Do not power wash the King-Dome.
