ELECTRICAL HAZARD WARNING!
The coaxial cable that connects the dome
unit to the tuner carries a 30 volt electrical
current. Exercise extreme caution when
handling this cable. Do not cut, break, or
splice this line. Do not insert or connect
any devices such as splitters or any other
device for any reason. This line is not
compatible with any other equipment.
Damage will occur to any device other than
the dome unit if connected to the antenna
port on the tuner.

The Trac-King In-Motion Satellite System includes 4 main components. (Fig. 1)
Dome (Antenna) Unit Located on the roof of the vehicle. The dish is covered by a
protective dome that keeps operational components free from
the elements.
Controller Located in the vehicle. Used to activate and monitor the
system, and access programming and diagnostic information.
Tuner Located in the vehicle. Decodes the satellite signal so the
Trac-King locks onto the correct satellite.
Power Supply Located in the vehicle. Supplies proper operating voltage to
the Trac-King.
SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
Note: A TV, satellite receiver, and program subscription are also required for satellite TV
viewing. (Not supplied by King Controls.)

IMPORTANT! The tie strap, bolt and plastic spacers must be removed from the bottom
of the dome unit prior to installation. DO NOT REMOVE THE DOME
COVER TO REMOVE THESE SHIPPING RESTRAINTS.
2. Remove and discard the tie strap, bolt and plastic spacers that pass through the bottom
of the base. (Fig. 5)

DOME LOCATION
3. 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 and internal components, using the
following criteria:
a) The shortest distance between the dome unit and the satellite receiver is most
desirable.
a) The dome unit requires a 28 inch diameter circle.
b) The dome unit should be mounted on the centerline of the vehicle (side to side).
c) There must be no “line of sight” obstructions from this location. Air conditioning
units, other antennas, and storage areas that are too close to the dome unit may
prevent the satellite signal from reaching the dish. (Fig. 6)

IMPORTANT! For installations on trucks with air shields, a bracket must be used for
mounting the dome unit. The dome unit MUST be mounted to the air ride
cab: NEVER to any structure mounted directly to the frame.
See bracket instructions for proper installation. (Fig. 7)

Fig. 7
IMPORTANT! The dome unit MUST be mounted to the air ride cab: NEVER to
any structure mounted directly to the frame.
4. Place dome unit on installation location chosen using the criteria discussed in the
previous section. Shipping restraints must be removed (Fig. 5, Page 5), and cable
connection must be positioned facing rear of vehicle.
5. The dome unit must be positioned so that both feet on each side of the vehicle are equal
distances from the roof edge. This should be checked by measuring the distance from
each foot to the roof edge. Confirm that these measurements are equal. (Fig. 8)
IMPORTANT! Make sure shipping restraints are removed from bottom of dome unit.
(Fig. 5, Page 5)
Cable connection must ALWAYS be positioned facing the rear of vehicle.
Fig. 8
DOME INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT! The dome should never be mounted so that it is
tilted more than two degrees in any direction.
Example of truck installation using bracket. See bracket instructions for proper installation.

Page 8
Note: The installer is responsible for determining the most appropriate fastener to secure the
dome unit to the roof. Depending on the roof material, fasteners such as lag screws,
well nuts, sheet metal screws, toggle bolts and T anchors may be used, and should
always be used in combination with a roof compatible sealant.
The installer is responsible for weatherproofing all holes with sealant.
6. Mount the dome unit. Use the pre-drilled holes in the mounting feet as a guide to install
the fasteners into the roof. Use additional fasteners whenever necessary.
7. Test that the dome unit is secure by pulling upward from each foot location.
EXTERNAL WIRING
8. Connect 35’ coax cable to the coax port located on the back of the dome unit and tighten
connection. Do not over tighten coax connection. (Fig. 9)
9. Snap the gel-filled boot around the coax connection. (Fig. 9)
Fig. 9
IMPORTANT! Coax connection should be snug. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!

Page 9
10. Run coax from the dome unit to the roof edge, then along edge to location where coax
will be fed into the vehicle. Secure coax to roof every 12-18 inches. (Fig. 10)
11. Drill 1/2” hole through the roof and into the cabinet where receiver is stored. Feed coax
down through hole. Seal opening with roof compatible sealant so that it is entirely
waterproof (inside and outside of the 1/2” hole). (Fig. 10)
12. Remove blue protective sheet and red “position to rear” sticker from the dome unit.

ELECTRICAL HAZARD WARNING!
The coaxial cable that connects the dome unit to the tuner
carries a 30 volt electrical current. Exercise extreme
caution when handling this cable. Do not cut, break, or
splice this line. Do not insert or connect any devices such
as splitters or any other device for any reason. This line is
not compatible with any other equipment. Damage will
occur to any device other than the dome unit if connected
to the antenna port on the tuner.
Page 10
INTERNAL WIRING:
Determine the location of the internal components using the following criteria:
a) The Controller, Tuner, Power Supply and De-stacker (9762 only) should be in the
same general vicinity of the satellite receiver, and accessible for operation and
maintenance purposes.
b) The Tuner should not be stacked directly on top of other electronics.
c) The Controller should be conveniently located for the end user.
d) All components should be secured so they do not shift or bounce around during
vehicle motion.
SINGLE LNB (Fig. 11) (For dual LNB hook-up see Pages 12-13)
1. Connect the 35’ coax cable from the dome unit to the tuner port labeled “ANT.”
2. Connect the 7’ coax from tuner port labeled “REC” to the satellite receiver port labeled
“SATELLITE IN.”
3. Connect the 7’ controller cable from the controller to the tuner port labeled “IDD.”
4. Connect the power supply cable to the tuner port labeled “PWR”.
5. Plug the power supply into a 110 VAC source.
Note: The controller should turn on for 3 seconds and then turn off. If the controller
stays on, press the ENTER and “-” button simultaneously for 3 seconds to turn
unit off.

IN” port on the second receiver.
5. Connect the power supply cable to the tuner port labeled “PWR”.
6. Plug the power supply into a 110 VAC source.
Note: The controller should turn on for 3 seconds and then turn off. If the controller

1. Turn ON the TV and satellite receiver. “Searching for Satellite Signal” or similar should
appear on the TV.
IMPORTANT! There must be a clear “line of sight” to the southern sky. Mountains,
buildings, trees, telephone poles, etc. can all block the satellite signal
from reaching the dish.

Note: The satellite setting allows the user to select the satellite and service provider of choice.
For DIRECTV subscribers, the Track-King can also track a secondary or alternate
satellite.
Example: If you are a subscriber to the DIRECTV service most of the programming that
you will be watching will be transmitted from the satellite located at 101 degrees. You
may also subscribe to programming that is transmitted from another satellite located at
119 degrees. In order to receive programming from both satellites you can either select
an individual (DTV 101) satellite manually from the display or you can select a multiple
(DTV 101/119) satellite setup. The multiple satellite selection will automatically switch
between satellites (DTV 101/119) based on the channel or programming that you select
on the Satellite Receiver (multi-satellite capable receiver is required). Please keep in
mind that the programming may pause (freeze frame) or pixelate while the antenna
acquires and locks onto the new satellite.
The multiple satellite setting will work only if your satellite receiver is set up to work in
oval dish mode. Consult your satellite receiver manual for instruction.
It is not recommended to use the DTV 101/119 setting unless there is programming on
the DTV 119 satellite that you specifically subscribe to.
