KVH Industries L3 Satellite TV System User Manual


 
4.1.8 Type of Multiswitch Used
(North American Systems Only)
An active multiswitch must always be used to connect the
TracVision L3/S3 system to multiple IRDs. Refer to
Section 2.3.5, “Connecting the Antenna RF Signal Cable to the
IRD,” for directions on proper multiswitch/multiple IRD
cabling.
4.1.9 Stationary Use Only (TracVision S3 only)
The TracVision S3 antenna was designed for stationary use only.
As such, the antenna will track the desired satellite while your
vehicle is parked, but not while the vehicle is in motion.
4.2 IRD Troubleshooting
The IRD that was provided with your satellite television service
may also be the cause of less-than-ideal operation.
4.2.1 IRD Wiring
Refer to Section 2.3.5, “Connecting the Antenna RF Signal Cable to
the IRD,” and your IRD user manual to confirm that the IRD is
properly connected to the antenna unit and the television.
4.2.2 IRD Faulty
In the case of a faulty IRD, refer to your IRD user manual for
service, replacement, and warranty information.
4.3 Antenna Gyro and LNB Faults
Section 5, “Maintenance,” provides detailed instructions for
authorized service personnel who may be required to replace
TracVision L3/S3 components.
The TracVision S3 does not include
an antenna gyro.
