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
A switchplate has been provided to serve as the hub of the
TracVision L3/S3 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 the steps
below to select and prepare the switchplate mounting location.
1. Select a location to mount the TracVision L3/S3
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 2-12 illustrates the mounting dimensions
and a template has been provided in Appendix C.
The connecting cables will be routed through this
cutout.
