2.3 Wiring the TracVision 4 System
A switchplate has been provided to serve as the hub of the
TracVision 4 wiring (with the exception of the RF cable, which
will be connected to the IRD). This switchplate includes an
ON/OFF switch and a DB9 maintenance port for easy access to
the Antenna Unit’s software and diagnostics. Follow these steps
to begin the wiring process.
1. Select a location to mount the TracVision 4
switchplate. It should be flat and within reach of
the cables connected to the Antenna Unit.
2. Create a panel cutout in the mounting surface.
Figure 2-6 illustrates the mounting dimensions
and a template has been provided in Appendix C.
3. Run the Antenna power and data cables from the
Antenna Unit and out through the panel cutout.
4. Run a cable from ship’s power (11-16 Vdc) through
the panel cutout.
