TM-XM
XM® SATELLITE RADIO MODULE
The TM-XM is an XM® Satellite Radio module that slides into
the card cage on an IntelliControl
®
ICS Modular MultiZone
Receiver. The card outputs metadata (channel name, channel
number, category, artist and track) on IntelliControl ICS user
interfaces with LCD displays. It has all the functionality of a
normal tuner: seek through stations: access to 20 favorite
channels and direct access to a station by entering the channel
number. In addition, the TM-XM provides navigation of content
by category and channel guide. Multiple TM-XM modules can
be used in a single chassis to allow different XM channels to be
played simultaneously in different zones.

Aiming the Antenna
Choose a mounting location for the Satellite Radio Antenna that
has a clear and unobstructed view of the sky. Position the antenna
for optimum signal strength in your area of the country.
Multiple TM-XM Module Cards
When using more than one TM-XM Module Card in an installation, each tuner must be connected to a satellite radio antenna.
The Niles SRK-2W or SRK-4W
provide proper signal strength to multiple TM-XM tuner modules.
(See Figure 5.)
Niles manufactures a line of satellite radio accessories that
include a satellite radio antenna (ANT-SAT) and an Installation

INSTALLATION (CONT’D)
Antenna Adjustment
1. Adjust the XM antenna for signal strength. For best results,
the antenna should be mounted outdoors with an unobstructed southeast facing. Some directional adjustment will be

located on the User Interface LCD in the upper left corner,
will show three bars.
2. To test the TM-XM prior to activation, tune to Channel 1. (XM
Preview) If the “Preview Channel” plays, the tuner is ready
for activation.
