KVH Industries TracVision R5 ユーザーズマニュアル

A Guide to TracVision R5/R4

The following sections provide instructions for properly wiring
the antenna unit to the components inside the vehicle.

A switchplate has been provided to serve as the hub of the
TracVision R5/R4 wiring (with the exception of the RF cable,
which will be connected to the receiver). This switchplate
includes an ON/OFF switch and a DB9 maintenance port for
easy access to the antenna unit’s software and diagnostics.
Follow the steps below to select and prepare the switchplate
mounting location.

1. Select a location to mount the TracVision R5/R4

switchplate. It 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 2-9 illustrates the mounting dimensions
and a full-scale template has been provided in
Appendix B. The connecting cables will be routed
through this cutout.

Be sure to consider the 28' length
of the power and data cables when
choosing a location for the
switchplate. If you require longer
cabling, an additional power supply
MUST be used. Failure to install an
additional power supply can result
in serious damage to the antenna
unit. KVH offers several cable
packages:
