12. Remove the nuts and washers securing the shipping restraints to the baseplate. The positions of all three shipping restraints are pictured in Figure 2-7. 13. For convenient storage, rotate the shipping restraints 180. and secure them to their original mounting bolts using the nuts and washers removed in Step 12 (see Figures 2-8 through 2-10). All nuts and washers removed in Step 12 must be reinstalled. These nuts and washers secure the baseplate to the mounting plates. Rotating Plate Shipping Restraint Rotating Plate Shipping Restraint Forward Shipping Restraint for LNB Bracket Figure 2-7 TracVision S2 Shipping Restraints (Top View, Installed for Shipping) Do not discard the shipping restraints. They should be stowed for future use in case the antenna unit needs to be removed and shipped to another location. Four 1.4. x 5.8. hex head screws have been provided in the kitpack for shipping as the bolts used to hold the shipping restraints during initial shipping are integral parts of the mounting plates.

Place the radome onto the baseplate (labels facing the sides of the vehicle) and secure in place using the 8 pan head screws and flat washers removed in Step 9. 15. Drill the cable access hole (marked in Step 4) in the vehicle’s roof. 54-0196 Rev. A A Guide to TracVision S2 A Guide to TracVision S2 Switchplate Cutout Dimensions Figure 2-12 Antenna Baseplate Connectors 2.3 Connecting System Components The following sections provide instructions for properly wiring the antenna unit to the components inside the vehicle. Locating the Switchplate Before running cables, you need to determine the location for the TracVision S2 switchplate. 1. The switchplate should be installed in a dry, flat location within reach of the cables that will connect to the antenna unit. 2. Once you’ve decided on a suitable location, create a panel cutout in the mounting surface. Figure 2-11 illustrates the mounting dimensions and a full-size template has been provided in Appendix C. All connecting cables will be routed through this cutout. 1.85" 2.35" Figure 2-12 shows the antenna unit’s baseplate connectors. Figure 2-13 on the following page shows the switchplate’s connectors. Refer to these figures when connecting cables to the antenna unit and the switchplate. RF2 Data/Power RF1 Installation Installation (+12 Vdc) Ground RJ11 Jack (Data Cable to IRD - Optional) Data/Power Connector Maintenance Port (DB9 Connector) Switchplate Mounting Hole (1 of 2) 2.3.1 Connecting the Antenna to the Switchplate 1. Connect one end of the antenna data/power cable to the antenna’s data/power connector and lock in place (see Figure 2-12). 2. Route the other end of the data/power cable down through the cable access hole in the vehicle’s roof and out through the switchplate panel cutout. 3. Connect the data/power cable to the switchplate’s data/power connector and lock in place (see Figure 2-13). 2.3.2 Connecting the Antenna to the IRD 1. Route an RF cable up through the roof’s cable access hole. 2. Connect the RF cable to the antenna’s RF1 connector (see Figure 2-12). Once the cable is securely connected, loosen the sealing nut at the base of the RF1 connector and tighten it onto the end of the RF cable. 3. Connect the other end of the RF cable to the IRD’s SATELLITE IN connector. Figure 2-13 Switchplate Connectors KVH recommends the use of RG-6 or RG-11 (75 ohms) cable for RF wiring. Use of non-RG-6 or RG-11 (75 ohms) cables will result in degraded performance. The KVH warranty does not cover degraded performance due to improper wiring. When shipped from the factory, the antenna’s RF connectors are protected with caps. Leave the cap installed on the RF2 connector unless you are going to connect a second RF cable to the TracVision S2. 54-0196 Rev. A A Guide to TracVision S2 A Guide to TracVision S2 Figure 2-14 function properly. To connect a second TV and IRD to the TracVision S2 system, you must connect a second RF cable to the antenna’s RF2 connector (see Figure 2-12). Route the other end of the RF cable down into the vehicle and connect it directly to the second IRD. Connecting Three or More IRDs and TVs To install three or more IRD/TV pairs, an active multiswitch (Channel Master model 6214IFD or equivalent) must be placed between the antenna unit and the IRDs. Figure 2-14 illustrates typical wiring arrangements for multiple IRDs. If more than four IRDs are required, contact KVH for additional wiring instructions. Mount the multiswitch uni...
