Inside: SWM 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 SWM 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 SWM 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. Examples: Terminator Cap Weather Seal Terminated Port (only used on a 3x4 off air input port) SWM Switch (comes with its own terminator cap) To make a weather cap – simply remove the center stinger of a terminator cap using a pair of side cutters Weather Sealed Port “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.
