2Home Distribution Kit Installation Manual

Thank you for purchasing the SIRIUS Home Signal Distribution

Kit for Satellite Radio

The SIRIUS Home Signal Distribution Kit for Satellite Radio will allow you to con-

nect one or two SIRIUS radios using only one outdoor antenna, with standard

RG-6 antenna cable wire, the same cable used in cable TV installations. This

allows you great exibility as to where you locate the outdoor antenna and where

you locate your SIRIUS radios. RG-6 cables can be purchased at your local hard-

ware store, home center, or electronics retailer. Short adapter cables are included

for adapting the RG-6 cable to your SIRIUS radios.

The outdoor antenna is a high-performance antenna, specically designed to

receive signals from the SIRIUS satellites and terrestrial (ground) transmitters

when mounted outdoors on a home or other building. The antenna has been

approved by Sirius Satellite Radio to receive the SIRIUS signal under a variety of

conditions within the SIRIUS North American coverage area.

Installation of the antenna and splitter requires experience in mechanical and

electrical procedures. Review this installation manual before beginning the instal-

lation process. If you are not comfortable or experienced with the installation

procedures, SIRIUS recommends that you have a professional install the kit and

wiring for you.

The antenna should be mounted according to the instructions in this manual to

ensure the best quality reception of the SIRIUS signal. All necessary mounting

hardware for a variety of mounting options is included with the kit.

Home Distribution Kit Installation Manual

RG-6 cable is typically sold in lengths of 25, 50, or 100 ft., all with “F” type con-

nectors on each end. These cables may be purchased at your local hardware

store, home center, or electronics retailer.

The combined length of the RG-6 cables from the outdoor antenna to each SIRI-

US radio should not exceed 150 ft., as shown in the preceding illustrations. The

overall length for your particular installation may be less than 150 ft. Also note

that the individual lengths of the cables from the Splitter to the SIRIUS radios is

limited to 50 ft. maximum for each cable.

Determine the overall length of the RG-6 cable run by measuring the distance

from the SIRIUS outdoor antenna mounting location to where the Splitter will be

located. (It is recommended that the Splitter be located indoors.) Next measure

the distance from the Splitter to where the SIRIUS radio is located, and note

that this particular cable length should not exceed 50 ft. The sum of these cable

lengths should not exceed 150 ft.

Antenna Installation

A successful antenna installation consists of four steps: First, assembling the

antenna; Second, determining a location for the antenna; Third, choosing a

mounting option; and Fourth, adjusting and aiming the antenna. Please read

the following four sections before beginning the antenna installation so that you

understand the entire installation process.

1. Assembling the Antenna

The antenna arm should be temporarily adjusted to be at a 45 degree angle rela-

tive to the antenna pod. To adjust the position of the arm, refer to the following

gure and loosen screw A until the arm can be moved. Adjust the arm so that it’s

at a 45 degree angle and then tighten screw A.

1. Loosen Screw

2. Move arm to 45 degrees

3. Tighten Screw

ARM POD

Next, the antenna arm with the pod needs to be attached to the antenna base.

Refer to the following gure and attach the antenna arm to the antenna base:

Use a phillips screwdriver to remove the screw Bfrom the antenna arm.

The mounting bracket Con the antenna base has two sides. Before you

slide the antenna arm over the mounting bracket C, be sure the antenna

arm and antenna base are in the correct orientation as shown.

When correctly oriented, slide the antenna arm over the mounting bracket C

on the antenna base and align the screw holes in the mounting bracket with

the screw hole in the antenna arm.

When the screw hole is aligned, re-insert screw Band snug it until it is tight.

2. Determining a Location for the Antenna

For correct operation and best reception of the SIRIUS signal, it is important that

the outdoor antenna is located in a place where it will have a clear view of the

SIRIUS satellites in the sky. Obstructions such as bushes, trees, other homes

or buildings, overhangs, softs, chimneys, gables, dormers, etc., will impair or

prevent the antenna from receiving a signal.

The best reception is obtained if the pod portion of the antenna (where the

SIRIUS logo is printed) has a clear 360 degree view of the sky within the cone-

shaped area shown in the following illustration.

Home Distribution Kit Installation Manual

No obstructions to the

sky within this area

If you cannot obtain a clear 360 degree view of the sky, then you must at least

have a clear view of the sky in the direction of the SIRIUS satellites, as shown in

the following map diagram.

HORIZON

SKY

SOUTH

WEST EAST

NORTH

Use the above map and nd the area you are located in (1to 5). Then nd the

direction in which you need to have a clear view of the sky:

Area 1: You will need a location with a clear view of the sky facing EAST or

NORTHEAST or SOUTHEAST

Area 2: You will need a location with a clear view of the sky facing NORTH or

NORTHEAST

Area 3: You will need a location with a clear view of the sky facing NORTH or

NORTHWEST

Area 4: You will need a location with a clear view of the sky facing WEST or

NORTHWEST or SOUTHWEST

Area 5: You will need a clear view of the sky facing STRAIGHT UP

Choose a mounting location for the antenna which has an unobstructed view of

8Home Distribution Kit Installation Manual

the sky in the direction for your area.

For example, suppose you live in Area 2. You determined that your antenna

will need to have a clear view of the sky facing North or Northeast. The exact

direction is determined by your specic location in Area 2 relative to the Xon the

map: If you live in Texas, you will need a more North facing clear view of the sky

whereas if you live in southern California, you will need a more Northeast fac-

ing clear view of the sky.

The following illustration shows a correct antenna installation for Area 2, with a

clear view of the sky in the North to Northeast direction.

Once you have determined a possible mounting location for your area, it is

recommended that you put the antenna in place temporarily and connect the

antenna to your SIRIUS radio as shown in the following illustration. Using the An-

tenna Aiming or Signal Indicator feature of your radio, verify that your antenna is

receiving a good SIRIUS signal. (Consult the user guide of the radio for specic

instructions.)

3. Antenna Mounting Options

There are three possible mounting options for the outdoor antenna, and the

antenna mounting location you have chosen may determine which mounting

methods you can use:

Wall Mount: Mounting the antenna directly on the side of a home or building.

Roof Mount: Mounting the antenna on the roof of a home or building.

Mast Mount: Mounting the antenna on a mast or pole, such as an existing satel-

lite TV dish mast, an existing TV antenna mast, or other mast or pole, not ex-

ceeding 2 inches in diameter.

Wall Mount

The antenna mounting bracket should be oriented in a vertical position (as

shown) and mounted directly to the wall of the building or home using the pro-

vided #10 screws.

MOUNTING

HOLES

Remember to avoid blocking the antenna’s view of the sky as described in the

previous section by locating the antenna too high under the eaves or soft of the

home or building.

Once you have determined a suitable mounting location, use the mounting

bracket as a template and mark the wall with the location of the four screw holes

in the bracket. Then, using a 3/32 in. drill bit, drill pilot holes in the wall for the

screws and then screw the bracket to the wall.

Roof Mount

When mounting the antenna on the roof of a home or building, mount the anten-

na as close as possible to the peak of the roof. It can be mounted on the chimney

or on the soft of the home or building. Do not mount it directly on the roof sur-

face to avoid leaks. Remember to avoid blocking the antenna’s view of the sky by

locating it where a chimney, dormer, gable, etc., may obstruct the view of the sky.

10 Home Distribution Kit Installation Manual

MOUNTING

HOLES

The antenna mounting bracket should be oriented in a vertical position as shown,

and mounted directly to the building or home using the provided #10 screws.

Once you have determined a suitable mounting location, use the mounting

bracket as a template and mark the mounting surface with the location of the

four screw holes in the mounting bracket. Then, using a 3/32 in. drill bit, drill pilot

holes for the screws. It may be necessary to ll the holes with a small amount of

roof cement or caulk to insure a watertight installation. Screw the bracket to the

mounting surface using the provided #10 screws.

Mast Mount

The outdoor antenna can be mounted on most any mast or pole which does not

exceed 2 inches in diameter using the provided U-bolts and mounting brackets.

If you have a satellite TV dish, the outdoor antenna may be mounted on the

same mast as the satellite dish, but remember that the dish cannot obstruct the

antenna’s view of the sky in the direction which you determined from the map in

the previous section.

To mount the antenna to the mast, you will need to use the two provided U-bolts,

the two mounting brackets, and the four hex nuts. Keep in mind that the antenna

cable is routed under the lower U-bolt, in the slot provided in the antenna base as

shown.
