RELATED CONSIDERATIONS
4SATPL-T POLARITY LOCKER
The DIRECTV® (4) polarity SlimLine® dish with SL5
LNB to receiver distance exceeds 100 feet. (Reference
SlimLine® installation manual)
Model 4SATPL-T powers a DIRECTV® SlimLine® dish
with strong DC levels and polarity locks the four dish
outputs relieving the receivers from powering the LNB.
Power from the PS242000A included with the
4SATPL-T may be looped to power a model LA144R
amplifier. Color coded jumpers are suggested to be
sure the polarities are maintained to the switch.

DIRECTV® recommends that the distance between
receiver and dish be less than 150 feet of solid
copper RG-6. At distances greater than 150 feet they
recommend a DC voltage booster and a line amplier.
Model 4SATPL-T provides LNB powering and strong
control signal to lock the dish. Without the locker, the
SWM16 which must power the LNB.
Model LA144R ampliers may be powered by the
polarity locker for installations with long switch to
dish or receiver to switch installations.

4SATPL-T POLARITY LOCKER
A common problem for installers is maintaining the
correct trunk to switch polarity. Use the test channels
to verify trunk polarity.
Cables from the Polarity locker outputs must
match switch input voltages:
20V to 18V,
14V to 13V,
20V/22k to 18V/22k
14V/22k to 13V 22k.

DIRECTV® receivers and the AIM meter are programed
to measure the transponders targeted for specic zip
codes. The signal meter in the receivers can be used to
verify the transponders for your region.
DIRECTV® provides test channels to verify the reception
of specic transponder on each polarity. The test channel
numbers associated with transponders is provided.

POWER SUPPLIES
4SATPL-T POLARITY LOCKER
DIRECTV® recommends that the distance between
receiver and dish be less than 150 feet of solid copper
RG-6. Here is why.
Model SL5 LNBs employ current management to
minimize the current carried per coax. (540 mA total)
18 V = 220 mA, 18V 22kHz = 220 mA, 13V = 50 mA,
13V 22kHz = 50 mA.
The 18 volts originating at the SWM8 must arrive
at the SL5 above 16 volts for the SL5 to operate
correctly. Up to (2) volts can be lost in the coax.
Resistance = Voltage loss / Current
18 V - 16 V = 2 volts / 0.22A = 9 ohms
Solid copper cable has a DC loop resistance of 4
ohms per 100 feet. Copper covered steel has a DC
loop resistance of 8 ohms.
Copper Covered steel = 9 ohm / 8 = 112 feet
Solid Copper = 9 ohm / 4 ohm = 225 feet
Model 4SATPL-T starts with 19.7 Volts to provided
extended dish to home distances.
The extra 1.7 volts buys extra RG-6 distance. The
extra coax distance increases the signal loss which
model LA144R osets.
Ampliers near the dish increase the current draw
and increase the voltage loss to the dish. Model
LA144R draws 3.2 Watts. (200 mA @ 16V). The total
current on the 19.7 volt coax is (220 mA for the LNB
+ 200 mA for the LA144R) = 400 mA
What is the maximum distance that a 19.7 Volt supply
can power an SL5 LNB + LA144R with RG-6 cable?
(19.7 V - 16 V) / 0.4 AMP = 9 OHMS
Copper Covered steel = 8 ohm / 8 = 112 feet
Solid Copper = 8 ohm / 4 ohm = 225 feet
If the dish is greater than 225 feet (RG-6), model
LA144R cannot be placed at the dish.
