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 installation guidelines for the belowdecks equipment. Switchplate • Select a switchplate mounting location in a dry, well-ventilated area belowdecks away from any heat sources or salt spray.
6 On c e yo u ha v e i d e nt i fi e d suitable mounting sites for the switchplate and MCP, follow these steps to prepare the sit es for installation. Switchplate a. Using the switchplate mounting template provided at the end of this manual, m ark and cut out a hole in the mounting surface to accommodate the switchplate (see Figure 7).
7 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.
8 Inside the antenna, a foam block and two bolts prevent the antenna a ssembly from moving during shipment. Follow these steps to remove these shipping restraints.
9 Follow these steps to connect the data, power, and RF cables to the antenna. a. First determine the number of RF coa x cables required for your partic ular installation. If you wish to conn ect just one satell ite TV receiver to the TracVi sion system, only one RF cable is required.
10 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. Ensure the “Forward” arrow inside th e baseplate points toward the bow and is par allel to the vessel ’s centerline (see Figure 18).
11 The switchpla te comes pr econfigured for a standard TracVision installation with out an MCP. To configure the swit chplate for an MCP installation, follow these steps to replace the maintenance port assemb ly in the switchplate with the MCP-ready maintenance port assembly supplied in the kitpack.
12 Follow these steps to connect the switchplate to the ante nna. NOTE: System wiring diagrams are provided in Appendix F on page 35. a. First dress the data an d power cables from the antenna . Strip back the ins ulation of each wire approximately 1/4" (6 mm ) and gently twist each wi re to ensure a good electr ical connection.
13 Follow these steps to connect the switchplate to the MCP and the antenna to the receivers. a. Connect the mai n control cable (DB9-male t o DB9-male) from the DB9 maintenance port jack on the switchplate to the “Antenna Unit” jack on the MCP (see Figure 26).
14 Follow these steps to connect power. The switchplate supplies powe r to both the antenna and the MCP. a. Before you begin, di sconnect ve ssel power. b. Route a set of power wires from the switchplate’s power outp ut terminals to the MCP (for cable sp ecifications, see Figure 2 on page 3).
15 In Step 4, you prepare d the mounting sites for the switchplate and MCP. Now follow these steps to mount them. Switchplate a. Drill four 5/32" (4 mm) holes in the countersunk settings in the switchplate’s support frame (see Figure 30). a. Fit the switchplate assembly into the mounting hole until it is flush with the mounting surface.
16 Follow these steps to turn on the system and enter your vessel’s latitud e and longitude. NOTE: The antenna will use your position information to speed up satellite acquisition. If the antenna knows where you are, it knows where it should start looking for the satellite.
17 Follow these steps to set up the system for the desired pair of satellites. a. Press th e center MENU button on the MCP’s front panel to acc ess the onscreen m enu (see Figure 35). b. At “Install Sa tellite?”, pre ss YES . c. At “Trisat Mode?”, press NO .
18 To optimize reception, the antenna’s LNB must be set to the correct skew angle for the linear satellite(s) you want to track. Follow these steps to determine what the correct skew angle should be for the curr ently selected satellite and ves sel position.
19 Follow these steps to set the antenna’s LNB to the skew angle you not ed in Step 16. a. Turn off and unplug the receiver(s). b. Disconnect antenna power at the switchplate. c. Remove the antenna’s radome, if you installed it earlier in Step 8e.
20 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 21 This section provides supplemental instructions for spec ial or ad vanced configurat ions. It also provides system wiring diagrams and mounting templates for t he belowdecks equipmen t. Contents A. DIRECTV HDTV Installa tion, 23 B. Wiring 3+ Re ceivers (C ircular only), 2 8 C.
23 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 fol.
24 6. If you wish to connect a second, standard (non-HD) receiver to the antenna, connect the RF2 cable from the antenna to the “Satellite In” jack on the secondary receiver. 7. Follow the instructions in Steps 12 and 13 on pages 14-15 to conn ect power and mount the switchplate and MCP.
25 4. Connect an RF coax cable from the “RF Out” jack on the HDTV converter to the “LHCP +18V” jack on the multiswitch. 5. Connect an RF coax cable from the “Tone Detect” jack on the MC P to either of the “Out” jacks on the splitter. 6.
26 Selecting the DIRECTV T risat Group Follow these steps to turn on the system and set it up for Trisat mode. In Trisat mode, the system tracks and receives TV si gnals from three DIRECTV satellite s (101, 119, an d 110). The 110 satellite carries most of DIRECTV’s HD programming.
27 Sat Select Modes In Automatic mode, the antenna automatically switches between a pair of satellites as the user changes channels on the receiver’s remote. The user sets the MCP to automatically switch between either 10 1-110 or 101-11 9 (see Figure 44).
28 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). 1.
29 Follow these steps to turn on the system and set it up for one of the three European Trisat groups: 1. Ensure the antenna has a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. 2. Apply power to the rece iver(s), TV(s), and switchplate. Wait two minutes for start up.
30 The TracVision antenna can track a variety of DVB-compatible and DSS (DIRECTV) satellites. Most popular satellites are programmed in the antenna’s library (see the table below).
31 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.
32 4. Apply power to the TracVision antenna. Data should soon be scrolli ng in your HyperTerminal window (s ee Figure 51). 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.
33 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 53 for definitions).
34 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.
