5 Guide for using DIRECTV SWM Technology with Winegard Mobile Satellite Antennas
Wiring Diagram for Winegard TRAV’LER SK-3003 with DIRECTV SWM8
Additional Warnings
Never power on all receivers at once.
Sequentially power receivers since every
receiver must get a SWM assignment.
Never use B-Band converters with SWM8.
Wiring Version 1
Port A and B of the interface should
hook up to both SWM8 inputs
corresponding to Satellite 99/101.
Then, determine if you are receiving
the desired channels when hooked
up to the fourth input of the SWM8.
If not, try hooking up Port C to the
third input of the SWM8 as in Wiring
Version 2.

If connecting to a DVR receiver, DO NOT connect a coaxial cable
to the Satellite 2 Input. With SWM, a coaxial cable should only
be connected to the Satellite 1 port (labeled FTM or SWM).
The SWM should be within 40’ of the dish.

The SWM should be within 40’ of the dish.
All three ports of the SK-3003 TRAV’LER
must be connected to three inputs on
the SWM8 as shown for access to
101°odd and even transponders, 101°
and 119° even transponders satellite
programming.
Odd (13V) transponders will not be
available in wiring version 2.
This will be verified in the
receiver installation status screen as seen in the receiver setup screen above.

Even (18V) transponders will not be
available in wiring version 1.
This will be verified in the receiver
installation status screen as seen in the receiver setup screen above.
Use a DIRECTV power inserter PI-28
or PI-29 to power the SWM8.
Do not use a DIRECTV PI-21
power inserter with a SWM8.
