1. C nnect the RHCP LNB utput and the LHCP LNB utput t the RHCP(13/14V) and LHCP(17/18V)
inputs respectively f the TSMS-2150X-8AUV.
3. C nnect the br adband antenna t the ANT IN n the back f the unit.
4. C nnect each f the utput p rts n the back f the unit t a TSDM antenna/satellite
diplexer. C nnect the TSDM utput p rt t the appr priate input, tv and/ r receiver If a br adband
antenna is n t used then mit the TSDM diplexer and c nnect the receivers directly t the
TSMS-2150X-8AUV utput p rts
5. Plug the wall adapt r 3.5mm plug int the jack l cated in the back f the unit. Plug the adapt r int a
120Vac, 60Hz wall receptacle.
6. Each f the satellite receivers can select pr grams in either right r left hand circular p larities.
T select a right hand circular p larity, a 13/14 DC v ltage is used and t select a left
hand circular p larity, a 17/18 DC v ltage is used.
