3 Before you begin, follow these steps to make sure you have everything you need to complete the installation. a. Unpack the bo x and ensure it contains everything shown on the Kitpack Conte nts List . Save the packagin g for future use. b. Carefully examine all of the supplied parts to ensure nothing was damag ed in shipment.
4 Before you begin, consid er 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 w ide enough to accommodate th e antenna’s base (see Figure 4).
5 Before you begin, consider the following MCU installation guidelines: • Select an MCU mounting location in a dry, well-venti lated area belowdec ks away from any heat sources or salt spray. • Be sure the MCU’s front pan el will be easily accessible to the user .
6 Once you have ident ified a suitable an tenna mounting site, accordin g to the guidelines provided in Step 2, follow these steps to drill the mounting holes and ca ble access hole to prepare the site for installation. a. Unfold the antenna mounting template (supplied in the Custom er Welcome Kit) an d place it onto the mounting surfac e.
7 Follow these steps to connect the data/power and RF cables to the antenna. a. Route the data/power and RF cables belowdecks through the cable access hole. Leave an adequate service loop, approximately 8" (20 cm) of slack, in the cables for easy servicea bility.
8 Follow these steps to mount the antenna to the mounting surface. a. Place the antenn a baseplate over the holes drilled in the mounting surface. b. Ma ke su r e t he fo ur h ol e s in the baseplate line up with the four ho les in the mounting surface.
9 Inside the antenna, three heavy-duty tie-wraps prevent the antenna a ssembly from moving during shipment. Follow these steps to remove these shipping restraints. a. Remove the eight #10 -32 Phillips-head screws securing the radome to the baseplate (see Figure 15).
10 Follow these steps to connect the antenna to the belowdecks e quipment. NOTE: System wiring diagrams are provided in Appendix F on page 31. a. If you are connecting two rece ivers to the TracVision system, decide which receiver will be the primary receiver.
11 Follow these steps to connect power to the MCU. The MCU supplies power to the antenna. a. Before you begin, di sconnect ve ssel power. b. Connect a power cable to 24 VDC (2.5 amps) vessel power (for cable specifications, see Figure 2 on page 3). Power supplied to the antenna MUST NOT fall below 18 VDC or exceed 30 VDC.
12 In Step 3 , you identifie d a suitab le MCU mounting location. Now follow these steps to mount the MCU using one of the following options: Option 1 - Velcro mount to a horizont al surface Option 2 - Flush mount to a vertical surfac e Option 1 - V elcro Mount a.
13 Follow these steps to turn on the system and set it up for the desired pair of satellites. a. Ensure the antenna has a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. b. Apply power to the rece iver(s), TV(s), and MCU. Wait two minutes for system startup. c. Press th e center MENU button on the MCU to access the onscreen menu (see Figure 26).
14 The antenna’s int ernal compass sensor is calibrated at the factory for a perfect-world environment. However, hard and soft iron effects on your vessel can dist ort the magnetic field around the antenna, causing errors in the sensor’s reported headin g.
15 d. Steer the vessel at a slow, steady speed through a comple te circle that t akes at least two minutes to co mplete (see Figure 28 ). Use the heading you noted in Step c to confirm when you have comple ted a full circle. Check the Calibration Score Once you have completed the circle, follow these steps to check the calibration “score.
16 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 followin g: • Keep the radome installed on the antenna at all times.
Appendices 17 This section provides supplemental instructions for spec ial or ad vanced configurat ions. It also provides system wiring diagrams and a moun ting template for the belowdecks equipment. Contents A. Optional Bottom Ca ble Entry Kit...19 B.
19 If you wish to route the system cables through the bottom of the antenna’s baseplate , rather than connect the cables at the side of the baseplate, follow these steps to modify the antenna for bottom cable entry. Figure 31 shows the relevant parts of the antenna baseplat e; refer to this figure throughout the procedure.
20 Seal the Original Cable PCB Location 1. Peel off the paper backing from the large cover plate gasket supplied in the kitpack. Attach the gasket to the supplied cover plate, making sure all holes are aligned. Also make sure all of the holes w ill align with the holes at the original PCB location, gasket side facing down.
21 Route and Secure the Cables 1. Remove the four M4 screws securing the cable brackets to the inside rim of the baseplate (see Figure 37 ). Remove and save the cable brackets. 2. Route the data/power (F-type connector end) and RF cables belowdecks through the cable access hole.
22 6. Attach the supplied cable exit shroud over the cable access hole in side the baseplate, using the two M4 screws you removed earlier from the cover plate (see Figure 41). Replace the Logo Plate 1. Attach the supplied bl an k logo plate using six M4 screws (see Figure 42).
23 Antenna with Circular Dual LNB (North American syste ms only) To connect three or more receivers, follow these steps to install an acti ve (powered) multiswitch between the antenna and the rece ivers. NOTE: You can purchase an active multiswitch, Channel Master model 6314IFD, from KVH (order part #19-0123).
24 Antenna with Linear Quad LNB (European systems only) Follow these steps to connect three or four receivers directly to the antenna. NOTE: If you need to conn ect more than four receivers to the TracVision system, install an active multiswitch that generates a 22 KHz tone (such as Spaun model 5602NF - KVH part #19-0 413).
25 The TracVision M9 antenna can track a variety of DVB-compatible and DSS (DIRECTV) satellites. Most popular satellites are programmed in the antenna’s libra ry (see the tables below).
26 The satellite library in the TracVision ante nna 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.
27 4. Apply power to the TracVision antenna. Data should soon be scrolli ng in your HyperTerminal window (s ee Figure 48). If no data appears, check your connections and make sure you’re using the correct COM port. 5. Follow the steps in the next section to program the antenna via the HyperTerminal window.
28 Enter the following comma nds via Windows HyperTerminal or KVH Flash Update Wizard. 1. Type HALT then press Enter. 2. Type DEBUGON then press Enter. 3. Type the following SATCONFIG command then press Ent er. Italics indicate a variable field (see Figure 50 for definitions).
29 Example - Linear Satellite The following is an example of programming a linear user-defined satellite (USER 1). Satellite Name: YOURSAT 123 at 7°W Commands you would enter into the antenna via Hyp.
30 If you needed to relocate ma gnetic materials near the ante nna, or you r elocated the antenna i tself, follow these steps to clear the calibration score. You need to clear the syst em’s stored ca libration data before you can calibr ate the internal sensor for a different magnetic environment.
