Connecting the IRD Ground Wire
A grounding wire has been provided to connect your IRD to a
suitable ground. Attach the grounding wire to any suitable screw
on the rear panel of the IRD with a good contact with the IRD
chassis. The other end should be connected to a suitable DC
ground, ideally to the switchplate’s ground terminal (route the
ground wire through the switchplate panel cutout and leave
unconnected for now). Each IRD that you connect to the
TracVision system should have a similar ground connection.
If you are using a multiswitch, you can ground the multiswitch instead
of the individual IRDs.
2.4 Wiring the Switchplate
All other wiring for the TracVision system connects to the
switchplate. For the TracVision system to work, you must wire
the following cables to the switchplate:
• Antenna Data Cable
• Antenna Power Cable
• Vessel Power Cable
• IRD Ground Wire(s)
Tips for Safe and Successful Wiring
• When attaching cables to the TracVision 6
switchplate connectors, make sure the insulation is
stripped back approximately
1
⁄4" (6 mm). Twist the
wires gently to help achieve a good connection. Do
not pinch insulation inside the connector.
• After attaching the power and data cables to the
appropriate terminal connector strips, tug gently
to ensure a firm connection.
• Do not tin (solder) the wire ends.
• All cables should be routed and dressed before
terminating at the switchplate. The antenna data
and power cables may be trimmed to desired
length. However, be sure to cut back the data
cable’s drain wire (shield); do NOT connect the
drain wire to anything.

Be sure to connect a ground cable
from each IRD to a suitable DC
ground, ideally the switchplate’s
ground terminal.
