Crestron SRD-ANT-1-PAK Antenna System Antenna System: SRD-ANT-1-PAK Introduction The SRD-ANT-1-PAK is a high quality outdoor antenna system designed for use with a single Crestron® XM or SIRIUS® satellite radio tuner. The antenna may be positioned up to 200 feet (cable length) from the tuner using standard RG-6 cable (not included). The antenna features a considerably narrower beam width compared to standard consumer antennas, achieving superior gain and multi-path rejection.

Antenna System Crestron SRD-ANT-1-PAK Installation Installation Notes • Mount the antenna outdoors with the supplied wall mount or pole mount accessories. Installation indoors or behind windows is not recommended. Windowpanes can have tinted coatings that can attenuate the signal. The attenuation of these coatings can vary greatly as a function of temperature. • Use the radio’s signal strength display as a guide to adjust the antenna for peak satellite signal reception.
Crestron SRD-ANT-1-PAK Antenna System Pole Mounting Attach the antenna to any pole (not larger than two inches in diameter) using the U-bolt and saddle with supplied attaching hardware as shown in the following figures. Saddle U-Bolt Wall Mount Bracket 2” DirecTV Pole Mounting Hardware 1 ¾” Dish Network Pole Hookup After the antenna is mounted, refer to the illustration on page 1, connect cables, adjust the antenna position, and finalize the installation as follows: 1.
Antenna System Crestron SRD-ANT-1-PAK channels, so it is only required to have an un-obscured line-of-sight to one of these orbital locations. Initially set up the antenna with its orientation approximately due south, at an up elevation angle of approximately 45º. Use this as the starting spot and peak the signal reception for maximum on one of the XM satellites using the antenna alignment menu in the radio.
Crestron SRD-ANT-1-PAK Antenna System Problem Solving Troubleshooting The table after this paragraph provides corrective action for possible trouble situations. If further assistance is required, please contact a Crestron customer service representative. SRD-ANT-1-PAK Installation Troubleshooting TROUBLE No signal reception. Radio display shows: “Antenna Disconnected”, or “Acquiring Signal” “Check Antenna” or “No Signal” Limited reception or channels available for XM and/or SIRIUS tuners.
Antenna System Crestron SRD-ANT-1-PAK Appendix: Azimuth and Elevation Pointing Guide The following chart shows the optimum azimuth bearing and elevation pointing angles for locations throughout the US (below) and Canada (starts on page 10). The azimuth has been magnetically corrected. NOTE: Although in many locations it may be possible to receive signals from terrestrial repeaters, it is not recommended to use these signals at fixed locations.
