DirecTV SWiM Manuale utente

The information contained on these pages are confidential, proprietary DIRECTV business information and is intended for authorized users

only. Unauthorized use, disclosure or copying of this information is strictly prohibited and may be unlawful.

Definitions:

Cap: Screw on cover for a port

Terminator: Cap with internal 75 ohm resistor for terminating ports electrically.

Inside:

SWiM Module Port 2 out – The attached terminator must be used if the port is not in use.

Single Port Power Passing Splitters – All unused ports must be terminated

SWiM Power inserters – The IRD port must be terminated if not used as part of the installation

Outside: All outside ports require weather protection.

Weather protection comprises of a closing method and a weather seal

Port in Use: F connector with a weather seal. The connector must be torqued to 30in/lbs

SWiM Switch port 2 out– The attached terminator must be used with a weather seal if the port is not in use.

All other outside unused ports: Require a cap with a weather seal

Using terminators or caps where not intended will result in service quality issues which may not be apparent at the time of install.

Key Installation Items

Examples:

“The following grounding diagrams illustrate only a few examples of

ways to bond a DIRECTV system and may not meet bonding

requirements in every municipality within the United States. It is the

responsibility of the installer/technician performing the installation to

know and follow all local, state and federal grounding regulations

within the area he or she is working.”

To make a weather cap –

simply remove the center

stinger of a terminator cap

using a pair of side cutters

dB Calculations

To promote a better understanding of dB losses and dBm power within a DIRECTV installation, charts such as what

is listed below are provided on each of the installation diagrams contained in this material.

These charts will show a single path dB loss, a single path is defined as a single cable run from the ODU to a

receivers tuner.

All cable runs are based off of a maximum distance of 150ft

Relative dBm values are listed on each diagram at the ODU

dBm levels seen will vary and are based off of geographic location as well as proper peaking of the ODU

As a rule dBm readings at the receivers tuner input should not exceed -60 dBm

Example: Path 1 has 6 F-connectors, 2 F-81 barrels and 150 feet of RG-6 cable, and 1 SWS 4 splitter, the maximum

frequency used is 1178MHz (1 HD DVR).The result is 26.5 db of loss in the RG-6 cable run.

Lets say that we have -30 dBm of power at the ODU, subtract 26.5 dB (for cable run loss) – anticipated result is -56.5

dB at the receivers tuner input.

Programming Channel

The following is only an example, actual SWiM

channel assignments are unknown to the user or to

the technician.

Channel Assignment Examples

IRD 1, Tuner 1 – is assigned SWiM Channel 1

IRD 1, Tuner 2 – is assigned SWiM Channel 2

IRD 2 Tuner 1 – is assigned SWiM Channel 3

Programming Selections Example

IRD 1, Tuner 1 requests programming channel 201

(DIRECTV Basics), the SWiM LNB takes orbital

location 101° transponder 20 and modulates the

programming onto SWiM channel 1

IRD 1, Tuner 2 requests programming channel 294

(Discovery Kids), the SWiM LNB takes orbital

location 101° transponder 4 and modulates the

programming onto SWiM channel 2

IRD 2, Tuner requests programming channel 285

(Discovery Times), the SWiM LNB takes orbital

location 101° transponder 18 and modulates the

programming onto SWiM channel 3
