IMPORTANT!

The satellite TV market is expanding and changing. The information in this manual was accurate at the

time of printing. If your Sea-King does not operate as outlined in this manual please call King Controls at

(800) 982-9920 or visit our website at www.kingcontrols.com.

Please read this entire manual before beginning the installation.

DISH NETWORK - EXPRESSVU: If you plan to use the Sea-King with Dish Network or ExpressVu

programming, your receiver must be configured.

To configure the DISH receiver, the antenna must be on the ground, dock or motionless platform with no

movement (see pages 24-25).

This Sea-King is factory ready to receive available HDTV programming from DIRECTV Ku band

satellites at 101° and 119°. This Sea-King will also receive available HDTV programming from the

DIRECTV Ku band satellite at 110°, but must include a properly installed HD converter accessory #9747.

It will not receive channels broadcast from DIRECTV’s Ka band satellites at 99° and 103°.

Note: The following upgrade kit is available for this unit:

Upgrade Kit #9747: Enables viewing of HD broadcasts from the DIRECTV 110° satellite.

For more information, call the King Controls Sales Department at (800) 982-9920.

The Sea-King Fully Stabilized Marine Satellite System includes 4 main components (Fig. 1).

Dome (Antenna) Unit Mounted on the vessel. The dish is covered by a protective

dome that keeps operational components free from the

elements.

Controller Located in the vessel. Used to activate and monitor the

system, and access programming and diagnostic information.

Tuner Located in the vessel. Decodes the satellite signal so the

Sea-King locks onto and tracks the correct satellite.

Power Supply Located in the vessel. Supplies proper operating voltage to the

Sea-King.

SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION

Note: A TV, satellite receiver, and program subscription are also required for satellite TV viewing.

SECTION 3 INSTALLATION

TOOLS AND MATERIALS REQUIRED

1. Read thru the instructions and make sure you have all the tools and materials required to

complete the installation, including:

• drill and drill bit set

• tape measure

• 7/16” open end wrench (coax connections)

• 5/32” allen wrench, channel lock or pliers (to remove shipping bolt)

• 1/8” allen wrench or phillips screw driver (to remove dome cover)

• appropriate fasteners and tools to install all components and wiring

• adhesive sealant, compatible with vessel material

DOME LOCATION

1. Select an area on the vessel for the dome unit, keeping in mind the coax cables will enter

the vessel through the surface directly beneath the dome unit. Use the following criteria:

a) The shortest distance between the dome unit and the main satellite receiver is most

desirable.

b) The dome unit requires a 16.5” (model

9815-RJ) or 20” (model 9818-RJ)

diameter mounting area on the vessel

surface. You may also use an industry

standard mount. (Call King Controls or visit

www.kingcontrols.com for more information.)

Exact hole spacing is shown at right.

Distances are to centers of holes.

c) The dome unit should never be mounted so that it is tilted more than two degrees

in any direction.

d) Keep the dome unit as far away from the radar as possible, and if possible above

the level of the radar.

e) The dome unit should be mounted as closely as possible to the center of the vessel

(fore-aft and side to side).

f) The mounting surface must be strong enough not to flex under the weight of the

unit or from vessel vibrations.

g) There must be no “line of sight” obstructions from this location. Items such as

masts or radar antennas that are too close to the dome unit may prevent the

satellite signal from reaching the dish (Fig. 5).

1. Remove and save the dome cover screws. (Figs. 6A and 6B).

2. Carefully remove the dome cover. Do not allow dome cover to catch on internal

components or wiring.

3. Remove and discard the shipping bolt.

COMPONENT LOCATION

1. Select the location of the internal components using the following criteria:

a) The Controller, Tuner, and Power Supply should be in the same general vicinity of

the main satellite receiver, AND ACCESSIBLE FOR OPERATION AND

MAINTENANCE PURPOSES.

b) The Tuner should not be stacked directly on top of

other electronics. If located in a cabinet or other

enclosure, make sure there is adequate ventilation

around the unit. (If using the Tuner mounting

brackets see page 17.)

c) The Controller should be conveniently located

for the end user. (If using the Wall Mount Faceplate,

see page 16.)

d) All components should be secured so they do not shift or bounce around during

vessel motion.

2. Place the components in the selected areas.

IMPORTANT!

The shipping bolt must be

removed prior to installation.

IMPORTANT!

CAREFULLY remove the

dome cover, tilting it side to

side as necessary to prevent

To verify proper operation of the components, perform a Pre-Installation Check as follows:

1. Place the dome unit in your chosen location and on its mounting pedestal. Temporarily

secure the unit from falling. DO NOT PERMANENTLY MOUNT THE DOME UNIT UNTIL

YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK ON THE NEXT PAGE.

If mounting to the vessel surface, you will need to

temporarily place the dome unit on a pedestal or

blocks to perform the pre-installation check.

IMPORTANT! IF CONFIGURING THE RECEIVER FOR MULTIPLE SATELLITE

SWITCHING WITH DISH NETWORK OR EXPRESSVU, Y0U MUST DO THE

PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK ON A MOTIONLESS PLATFORM SUCH AS THE DOCK

OR GROUND.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!

NEVER lift the unit by the LNB assembly, Wave Guide assembly, or the dish.

Lift the unit by the base ONLY.

PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK

ELECTRICAL HAZARD WARNING!

The coax cable that connects the dome unit to the tuner carries a

24 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.
