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 3). 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 4). 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.

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 15 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 16 and
Figure 17). 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.

Modify the Switchplate
(Optional)
The switchplate comes preconfigured for a standard TracVision installation without an
MCP. To configure the switchplate for an MCP installation, follow these steps to replace the maintenance port assembly in the switchplate with the MCP-ready maintenance port assembly supplied in the kitpack.
NOTE: The MCP-ready maintenance port assembly moves the DB9 maintenance port to the back of the switchplate. This allows you to later connect the main control cable to the back of the switchplate, hidden from view. However, if you wish, you may skip this step and simply connect the main control cable to the
DB9 maintenance port on the front of the unmodified switchplate.

Educate the Customer
The installation process is complete!
Before you depart the vessel, test the system to verify the antenna works properly. Then give the
Customer Welcome Kit to the customer and explain how to use the system. Also be sure the customer understands the following:
• Keep the radome installed on the antenna at all times. The radome protects the antenna’s moving parts from wind, rain, and debris.
Figure 40: Example of Satellite Blockage
WARNING
It is dangerous to watch TV while piloting a vessel. The TracVision system is intended as a passenger entertainment product only.
• The antenna must have a clear view of the sky to receive satellite TV. Common causes of blockage include trees, buildings, bridges,
and onboard equipment (see Figure 40).
• Heavy rain or snow may temporarily interrupt reception.
• Clean the antenna regularly. Dirt buildup on the radome can affect reception.
• The vessel must be located within the selected satellite’s coverage area to receive its satellite TV signals. To view satellite coverage maps, visit
www.kvh.com/footprint
.
• Please register the system with KVH. The registration process is quick, easy, online, and ensures the best possible service from KVH.
Visit
www.kvh.com/register
or refer to the
Product Registration Form for details.
• You need to activate the receiver for the desired satellite TV service before the receiver can decode satellite signals. KVH can help you activate a DIRECTV receiver; just call KVH’s Activation Department at

DIRECTV HDTV Installation
These supplemental instructions explain how to configure the system for DIRECTV HDTV using
KVH’s optional HDTV converter. To complete a basic, single-receiver configuration, you will need the following components:
• HDTV converter (KVH part #02-1431)
• Splitter (KVH part #19-0366)
• DIRECTV HD receiver
• HDTV television
The HDTV converter adjusts the signal frequency of DIRECTV’s 110 satellite, allowing the system to receive its high-definition channels. This configuration also allows the system to receive signals from DIRECTV’s 101 and 119 satellites for a three-satellite (Trisat) setup.

IMPORTANT!
The HD receiver is the primary receiver that controls satellite selection. The secondary receiver will only be able to select a channel on the satellite that is currently selected on the primary HD receiver. In addition, the secondary receiver must be standarddefinition only (not HD) in this configuration.
IMPORTANT!
Be sure all receivers are grounded. If the receiver has a 2-prong power plug, run a ground wire from the receiver’s chassis to a suitable ground point. If a potential exists between AC and DC grounds, connect the wire to the switchplate’s DC return instead.
7. Follow the instructions in Steps 12 and 13 on pages 14-15 to connect power and mount the switchplate and MCP. Then skip to page 26 to select satellites.

Educate the Customer About HDTV
• Make sure the DIRECTV HD receiver is set up for an “Oval, 3 LNB” dish (antenna) type, so that the receiver can decode channels from three DIRECTV satellites. Refer to the receiver’s user manual for details.
• The HD receiver will only be able to decode
HD channels if it is activated. High-definition channels are not included with the basic
DIRECTV package, and premium HD channels, such as HBO HD, must be ordered separately. KVH makes activation easy. Just call KVH’s Activation Department at
1-888-584-4163 (Mon.-Fri., 8:30 am - 5 pm ET).
• KVH provides a list of HD channels, and the
DIRECTV satellites that carry them, at
www.kvh.com/HDlineup
. Since DIRECTV changes its channel lineups frequently, KVH can e-mail updates to you whenever the HD lineup changes. Register for this free service when you visit the website for the first time.
• On startup, the receiver needs to download the Program Guide from the 101 satellite. Be sure the antenna is tracking the 101 satellite whenever you reboot the receiver.
• Please be patient during the Program Guide download. It may take more than 20 minutes for the receiver to download the entire
Program Guide, which lists channels available on every DIRECTV satellite. A channel is selectable only if it is loaded in the
Program Guide.
