Plan the Antenna Installation
Before you begin, consider the following antenna installation guidelines:
• Minimize blockage. The antenna requires a clear view of the sky to receive satellite TV
(see Figure 4). The fewer obstructions, the
better the system will perform.
• Make sure the mounting surface is wide enough to accommodate the antenna’s base
(see Figure 5). Also make sure it is flat, level,
strong enough to support the antenna’s weight (30 lbs, 13.6 kg), and rigid enough to withstand vibration.
• Select a location that is as close as possible to the intersection of the vessel’s fore-and-aft centerline and midships.
• Do not mount the antenna at the same level as the radar because the radar’s energy might overload the antenna. Ideally, you should mount the antenna 4 ft (1.2 m) above and 4 ft
(1.2 m) away from the radar.

Plan the Switchplate Installation
Before you begin, consider the following switchplate installation guidelines:
• Select a switchplate mounting location in a dry, well-ventilated area belowdecks away from any heat sources or salt spray.
• Be sure to leave enough room at the switchplate’s rear panel for connecting the
cables (see Figure 6 for switchplate
dimensions).
• Since the supplied data cable is 50 ft (15 m) long, the switchplate must be located within
50 ft (15 m) of the antenna.

Wire the Antenna
Follow these steps to connect the data, power, and RF cables to the antenna.
a. First determine the number of RF coax cables required for your particular installation. If you wish to connect just one satellite TV receiver to the TracVision system, only one
RF cable is required. If you wish to connect two or more receivers to the system, you need two RF cables. (See Figure 13 to determine the type of cable required.)
b. Route the data, power, and RF cables belowdecks through the 3" (80 mm) cable access hole. Leave an adequate service loop, approximately 8" (20 cm) of slack, in the cables for easy serviceability. Later, you will connect the data and power cables to the switchplate and the RF cable(s) to the receiver(s).
c. Connect the data cable to the “Data” jack on the bottom of the antenna (see Figure 14 and
Figure 15). Hand-tighten until the connector locks in place; do not use excessive force.
d. Connect the power cable to the “Power” jack on the bottom of the antenna. Hand-tighten until the connector locks in place; do not use excessive force.
e. Connect an RF coax cable to the “RF1” jack on the bottom of the antenna. Hand-tighten, then tighten with a 7/16" wrench for 1/4 turn to ensure an electrical and weather-proof connection.
f. If you wish to connect two or more receivers, connect a second RF coax cable to the “RF2” jack on the bottom of the antenna. Label both
RF cables to match the antenna connectors so that you can easily identify the cables later.

User-Defined Satellites
The satellite library in the TracVision antenna includes two slots for user-defined satellites
(USER 1 and USER 2). You can program one or both of these library slots for any satellite you wish that is not already set up in the library.
To configure a user-defined satellite, you will need to program into the antenna the following information about the satellite (see Figure 34):
• Satellite name
• Satellite longitudinal position
• Transponder information for all combinations of polarization and band:
• vertical high
• vertical low
• horizontal high
• horizontal low
OR
• right
• left
• Frequency
• Symbol rate
• FEC code rate
• Network ID
• Decoder type
NOTE: You can find this satellite information on the web at www.lyngsat.com
or www.satcodx.com
(neither website is affiliated with KVH).
