2.1 Planning the Installation
Who Should Install the TracVision 6
KVH recommends that a KVH-authorized technician install the
TracVision 6 system. Installers should have experience installing
electronic equipment on a vessel.
Materials and Equipment Required for Installation
Before you begin installing the TracVision 6 system, you need to
verify that you have all of the following tools and materials:
• Electric drill
•
1
⁄2" (13 mm) drill bit and 3" (80 mm) hole saw
• Socket wrenches and
7
⁄16" open end wrench
• Flat head and Phillips screwdrivers
• Crimp tool (Augat T1000 or equivalent)
• Light hammer; center punch; tape; scriber/pencil
• Terminal lug crimping tool; wire strippers
• RG-6 or RG-11 cable with F-type connectors for
extra RF cables as needed. Refer to Table 2-1 to
determine the number of RF cables that you will need.
Connecting to: # RF Cables
North American/Latin American Systems
One IRD 1
Two IRDs 2
Three or more IRDs 2*
European Systems with Dual-output LNB
One IRD 1
Two IRDs 2
European Systems with Quad-output LNB
One IRD 1
Two IRDs 2
Three IRDs 3
Four IRDs 4
More than four IRDs 4*
* Multiswitch needed. Follow multiswitch manufacturer’s guidelines.
Plan the entire installation before
proceeding! Take into account
antenna unit placement, cable
running distances between units,
and accessibility to the equipment
after installation.
Table 2-1
Number of RF Cables to Connect
to the Antenna
RG-11 or RG-6 cable with F-type
connectors is required for all RF
wiring. Use of any other cable will
result in degraded performance.
Use RG-6 cable for distances up to
75 ft (23 m); use RG-11 cable for
distances greater than 75 ft (23 m).
The KVH warranty does not cover
degraded performance due to
improper wiring.
You may want to connect four RF
cables to the antenna in all cases.
That way, if an IRD is added in the
future, no additional RF cables will
need to be run.
