ELECTRICAL HAZARD WARNING!

The coaxial cable that connects the dome
unit to the tuner carries a 30 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.

The Trac-King In-Motion Satellite System includes 4 main components. (Fig. 1)

Dome (Antenna) Unit Located on the roof of the vehicle. The dish is covered by a

protective dome that keeps operational components free from
the elements.

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

system, and access programming and diagnostic information.

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

Trac-King locks onto the correct satellite.

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

the Trac-King.

DOME LOCATION

3. Select an area on the roof for the dome unit and the location where the wiring will enter
the vehicle through the roof to the satellite receiver and internal components, using the
following criteria:

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

desirable.

a) The dome unit requires a 28 inch diameter circle.

b) The dome unit should be mounted on the centerline of the vehicle (side to side).

c) There must be no “line of sight” obstructions from this location. Air conditioning

units, other antennas, and storage areas that are too close to the dome unit may
prevent the satellite signal from reaching the dish. (Fig. 6)

IMPORTANT! For installations on trucks with air shields, a bracket must be used for

mounting the dome unit. The dome unit MUST be mounted to the air ride
cab: NEVER to any structure mounted directly to the frame.
