One motorized Dish and two FTA receivers

[FTA_Davy]

Need a little help with wiring for 2 receivers on one motorized dish

One receiver will run the dish the other will not. I'm using a Invacom Qph-031 Circular/linear LNB


I'm just not clear about the second RX how to hook it up....??
Will it need to power the LNB or not? since it is basically a slave device that is dependent on what SAT. the #1 RX is set on.

Any help would be great..links to diagrams would be awesome ;

Equipment details.
2 - Sonicview 360 Premier STB's
1- 80CM Dish: Fortec Star 31" (80 cm) Offset Satellite Dish
2- standard issue DiSQeC switches

1 -Sadoun PowerTech DG280 HH motor

55 ' of PERFECT-10 RG-6/U Coaxial Cable with Ground Wire - 1000' REEL IN BOX (Professional Series)

thanks in advance:

P.S. This is my second motorized setup....the only diff. is two RX's & my first one uses a Chieta DiSQeC switch..

Tell us all the equipment you plan to use.

For instance, with a Mercury II, you could hook up the two receivers this way:
1 to motor - with its own coax
1 directly to LNB - with its own coax

1 Receiver moves the dish and is programmed to move the dish, but the other cannot move the dish and is programmed not to move the dish. There is a place to select USALS, Diseqc 1.2, or None. This second receiver would be set to none.

This is the simplest way to do it, and it makes that one receiver subserviant to the main motorized receiver.

There may be other ways of doing this but a lot depends on the type of equipment you have.

most receivers has a loop through that way you only have 1 coax going to the dish. so it would be lnb to disqec switch to motor to master receiver through loop out to slave receiver.you are subject to watch the same polarity on the slave receiver as the master in this configuration.
