To complete your satellite TV system, you will need an
Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD) (a.k.a. “satellite receiver”),
and a television set. A desktop or laptop computer is
recommended during installation and to conduct diagnostics.
The interrelationship of units is illustrated in Figure 1-2.
1.2.1 The TracVision 4 Antenna Unit
The Antenna Unit includes the antenna positioning mechanism,
signal front end, power supply, and control elements. A molded
ABS radome encloses the baseplate and is secured in place with
flat head machine screws. Weathertight connectors located on the
underside of the baseplate join the power, signal, and control
cabling from below-decks units. A compression seal keeps
moisture away from the connectors.
1.2.2 Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD)
The IRD (purchased separately) receives satellite signals from the
Antenna Unit for signal processing and channel selection, and
sends the signals to the TV set for viewing. The IRD also
provides the interface for the user to activate authorization for
reception. Please refer to the User’s Manual provided with your
selected IRD for complete operating instructions. Multiple IRDs
may be connected to the Antenna Unit to provide satellite signals
to a number of TV sets.
