2.1 Planning the Installation
Who Should Install the TracVision G4
KVH recommends that a KVH-authorized technician install the
TracVision G4 system. Installers should have experience
installing electronic equipment on a vessel.
Materials and Equipment Required for Installation
Before you begin installing the TracVision G4 system, you need to
verify that you have all of the following tools and materials:
• Electric drill
•
3
⁄8" (10 mm) drill bit and 3" (80 mm) hole saw
• Socket wrenches
•
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
• A PC with terminal emulation software such as
Windows Hyperterminal or PROCOMM.
• RG-6 or RG-11 cable with F-type connectors for
extra RF signal 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 Systems
One IRD 1
Two or more IRDs 2*
European Systems
One IRD 1
Two IRDs 2
* Multiswitch needed for three or more IRDs. 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 two 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.
