TracVision G6 User’s Guide
2.2 Turning On the System
The TracVision G6 system is easy to use. Antenna unit
initialization and satellite acquisition are completely automatic.
To use the TracVision G6 system, follow the steps below.
1. Turn on the IRD and the television. (Refer to your
IRD user’s manual for complete operating
instructions for the IRD.)
2. If a GPS receiver is connected, ensure that it is
turned on and has obtained an accurate position.
3. Apply power to the system.
a. If the antenna unit power cable is connected
to the ADCU:
Turn on the ADCU. This will turn on the
GyroTrac sensor, the ADCU, and the antenna unit.
b. If the antenna unit is connected to a separate
power source:
Turn on the ADCU to turn on the GyroTrac
sensor and the ADCU. Turn on the antenna unit.
If you are unsure how your system is wired, please check
with your installer.
4. Avoid turning the vessel for 60 seconds after turning
on the antenna to allow the antenna gyro to initialize
properly.
To minimize the time it takes the
antenna to acquire the satellite, do
not change the channel during the
startup process or cable unwrap.
GPS must be turned on first if
TracVision G6 is to use the GPS
position data. If TracVision G6 is
turned on before the GPS,
TracVision G6 will use its default
position while initializing.
