Crestron SRD-ANT-1LD-PAK Antenna System Antenna System: SRD-ANT-1LD-PAK Introduction The SRD-ANT-1LD-PAK is a high quality outdoor antenna system designed for use with a single Crestron® XM or SIRIUS® satellite radio tuner. The inclusion of an SRD-AMP-1 High Gain Line Amplifier allows the antenna to be positioned up to 350 feet (cable length) from the tuner, using standard RG-6 cable (not included).

Antenna System Crestron SRD-ANT-1LD-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.

Attach the in-line amplifier to the antenna using a short RG-6 cable (not supplied), providing a strain relief for the cable.
Antenna System Crestron SRD-ANT-1LD-PAK 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. The “Appendix” lists exact magnetic azimuth bearings and elevation pointing angles for many major cities throughout the US and Canada.

If further assistance is required, please contact a Crestron customer service representative. SRD-ANTPAK-1 Installation Troubleshooting TROUBLE POSSIBLE CAUSES No signal reception.
Antenna System Crestron SRD-ANT-1LD-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.
