IMPORTANT!
Before you begin, consider the following antenna installation guidelines.
• Minimize blockage. The antenna requires a clear view of the sky to receive satellite TV (see Figure 3). The fewer obstructions, the better the system will perform.
• Consider the distance between your antenna and any radar. KVH requires that you do not mount the antenna on the same level as the radar because the radar’s energy may damage the LNB. Most radar transmitters emit RF energy within an elevation range of -15º to +15º (see Figure 4). Therefore, mount the antenna outside of this elevation range and at least 3 ft (1 m) away from the radar.
• Make sure the mounting surface is wide enough to accommodate the antenna’s base (see Figure 5). Also make sure it is flat, level (within ±1°), strong enough to support the antenna’s weight (52 lbs, 23.6 kg), and rigid enough to prevent antenna vibration.
• Select a location that is as close as possible to the intersection of the vessel’s fore-and-aft centerline and midships.
• Be sure to mount the antenna near enough to the TV-Hub to allow you to connect the 100 ft (30 m) coax cables between them, while still maintaining sufficient service loops in the cables.
NOTE: If you need to use a longer cable, use a RG-11 (75 ) cable that does not exceed 200 ft (60 m) in length (see “Prepare the RF Cables” on page 7).
Be sure to follow the guidelines below.
Damage caused by an improper installation is not covered under KVH warranty.

Plan the Antenna Installation2
Consider the following TV-Hub installation guidelines.
• Select a mounting location in a dry, well-ventilated area belowdecks away from any heat sources or salt spray.
• Do not install the TV-Hub in an area surrounded by metal or near any electrical devices that emit RF noise.
• The TV-Hub can be mounted horizontally or vertically on a flat surface (see Figure 6 and Figure 7).
• Be sure the TV-Hub LED lights will be visible to the user.
• Select a location that will provide adequate clearance for the TV-Hub dimensions (see Figure 6 and Figure 7).
• Leave enough room behind the rear panel (horizontal mount) or below the rear panel (vertical mount) to accommodate connecting the cables and making service loops within the proper bend radius for strain-relief.
• If you plan to use the TV-Hub’s Wi-Fi connections, ensure the TV-Hub mounting location provides adequate Wi-Fi reception.
• If you plan to connect the TV-Hub to the vessel’s onboard local area network (LAN), choose a location near an available Ethernet port.
NOTE: A template showing the exact locations of the TV-Hub mounting holes and the dimensions between them is provided in the Welcome Kit. Installation details are provided in “Mount the TV-Hub” on page 11.

Plan the TV-Hub Installation3
Once you have identified a suitable antenna mounting site, according to the guidelines provided on page 4, follow these steps to drill the mounting holes and cable access hole to prepare the site for installation.
a. Unfold the antenna mounting template (supplied in the Customer Welcome Kit) and place it onto the mounting surface. Make sure the “FWD” (forward) arrow points toward the bow and is parallel to the vessel’s centerline (see Figure 8). Tape in place.
NOTE: You don’t need to mount the antenna exactly on the vessel’s centerline (the closer, the better), but the antenna’s forward arrow must be parallel to it.
b. Using a light hammer and center punch, mark the locations for the four mounting holes and cable access hole on the mounting surface in the locations indicated on the template.
c. Drill a 1/2" (13 mm) hole at the four mounting hole locations you marked in Step b. Later, you will insert four 3/8"-16 bolts through these holes to secure the antenna to the mounting surface.
d. Cut out the 3" (80 mm) cable access hole in the location you marked in Step b. Smooth the edges of the hole to protect the cables.
Later, you will route the RF cables through this hole and into the vessel.
e. Clean and dry the antenna mounting surface.
f. Peel off the paper backing from the supplied foam seal to expose the adhesive. Then press the foam seal down firmly onto the mounting surface, ensuring the hole in the foam seal aligns with the cable access hole in the mounting surface (see Figure 8).
NOTE: Apply the foam seal to the vessel mounting surface, not to the antenna’s baseplate. You will have difficulty connecting the cables to the antenna if the foam seal is attached to the baseplate.

Figure 9: RF Cable Requirements
• Do not reuse old RF cables from a previous antenna installation. The RF1 cable between the TV-Hub and the antenna carries not only satellite signal, but power and data as well. Therefore, the integrity and reliability of this cable is critically important.
• RF cables must be rated for 75not 50
• Use of any cables not specified in Figure 9 will void the warranty.
• Low-quality, poorly terminated, or improperly installed RF cables are the most common cause of system problems.
Terminate all RF cables with high-quality “F” connectors using the proper stripping/crimping tools, exactly to the manufacturer’s specifications.
• When determining cable lengths, be sure to account for an adequate service loop, approximately 8" (20 cm) at both ends of each cable.
Prepare the RF Cables5
Follow these steps to remove the shipping restraints from inside the antenna.
a. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the six #10-32 Phillips screws securing the radome to the baseplate (see Figure 10).
Carefully lift the radome straight up until clear of the antenna assembly and set it aside in a safe place.
If you keep the radome topside, secure it with a lanyard to prevent it from falling overboard. Also, do not place the radome on a hot steel deck – the heat may warp the radome.
b. Using a 9/16" nut driver or wrench, remove the four bolts, two brackets, and two washers securing the antenna to the shipping pallet (see Figure 11).

If necessary, use the two 0.5" (12.5 mm) holes in the antenna frame (see Figure 12) to hoist the antenna to its mounting location.
DO NOT use any other structure inside the antenna — doing so might damage the antenna.
IMPORTANT!
Once you have removed the restraints, keep the antenna level as much as possible and handle the antenna very carefully. Prevent the internal antenna assembly from rotating freely within the baseplate to avoid damaging the limit switch.
Remove the Shipping Restraints6
Determine the number of tuners the system will need to support and the number of RF cables you will need for your installation (refer to the tables in Figure 13 and Figure 14). Then follow the steps below to connect the cables to the antenna.
a. Clearly label all RF cables at both ends of each cable to match the connector. This will make it easier to identify them later.
b. Route the RF cables belowdecks through the 3" (80 mm) cable access hole. Leave an adequate service loop, approximately 8" (20 cm) of slack, in the cables for easy serviceability.
c. Remove the rubber caps from the RF connectors on the bottom of the antenna that you will use (see Figure 15). Leave the caps on all unused connectors.
d. Clean and dry the connectors on the RF cables and the antenna with a solvent or alcohol.
e. Fill half of the inner body of the RF1 cable’s connector with the supplied silicone grease.
f. Connect and SLOWLY hand-tighten the RF1 cable to the “RF1” connector on the bottom of the antenna, allowing the grease to diffuse and settle into the entire space within the connector.
g. Make sure the RF cable is hand-tightened all the way into the connector. Then tighten it with a 7/16" torque wrench to 20 in.-lbs.
h. Wipe off any excess grease from the outside of the connector.
i. Repeat steps e-h to connect additional RF cables to the antenna’s RF2-RF5 connectors, as necessary.
j. Seal the RF cable connections with silicone sealant or equivalent and weatherproof the cable access hole as required.
CAUTION
Observe the safe handling instructions in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provided with the silicone grease.

Follow these steps to mount the antenna.
a. Place the antenna over the holes drilled in the mounting surface. Ensure the forward arrow points toward the bow and is parallel to the vessel’s centerline (see Figure 16).
b. Apply a thin layer of the supplied anti-seize lubricant to the threads of the four 3/8"-16 mounting bolts (see Figure 17).
c. At each of the four baseplate mounting holes, place a 3/8" flat washer on a 3/8"-16 bolt and insert the bolt into the hole (with preinstalled 3/8" shoulder washer) from above (see Figure 17). To enable proper grounding, ensure the preinstalled shoulder washers are in place and were not dislodged during handling.
d. Secure each mounting bolt to the mounting surface using a 3/8" shoulder washer, a 3/8" flat washer, and a 3/8"-16 lock nut from below. Tighten all four bolts until the four rubber feet on the baseplate are bottomed against the mounting surface and the foam seal is fully compressed. KVH recommends that you tighten the bolts to between 12 and 16 ft-lbs (16.2 and 21.7 N-m) of torque.
e. Using cutting pliers, cut and remove the two tie-wraps equipped with paper tags (see Figure 18).
f. Rotate the antenna through its full range of motion, to ensure there is no interference, and inspect the inside of the antenna to make sure you have not left any tools or debris inside.
g. Reinstall the radome onto the antenna. Secure it in place with the screws you removed on page 8. Hide and protect the screws with plastic screw caps (supplied in kit).
CAUTION
Be sure to observe the safe handling instructions in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provided with the anti-seize lubricant.

At the customer’s option, you can connect a NMEA device to the TV-Hub, allowing the antenna to use its GNSS heading data to speed up satellite acquisition. A NMEA device will also provide position data as a backup to the antenna’s built-in GPS. The current heading will also be displayed on the Home page of the web interface.
NOTE: The antenna system can only use and display true heading. If only magnetic heading is input, the TV-Hub will use the current location data to convert magnetic heading to true heading.
Follow these steps to connect a NMEA device to the TV-Hub, if desired.
NMEA 0183
a. Wire and connect the 2-position terminal strip connector (supplied in kit) as shown in Figure 30.
b. Configure the NMEA device to transmit one or more of the supported NMEA 0183 messages at 4800 baud (see Figure 31).
c. Make sure the data message(s) includes the checksum, identifiable by a *xx field at the end of the data sentence (e.g., $HEHDT,123.4, T*1F). Do not exceed a 10 Hz input rate.
NMEA 2000
a. Connect the TV-Hub to the vessel‘s
NMEA 2000 CAN network backbone via a “T” connector, as shown in Figure 30. Be sure to use a standard drop cable: 5-wire (4 conductors + shield) twisted pair with micro-C connectors.
b. Configure the NMEA device to transmit one or more of the supported NMEA 2000 messages (see Figure 32).
Later, you will select the NMEA source at the TracVision Setup Wizard (see “Setup Wizard” on page 26).

Before connecting power, be sure the vessel is properly grounded in accordance with marine standards.
Grounding Requirements Proper grounding of the TracVision system to ship’s ground is mandatory for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and safety regulatory compliance. It protects the equipment from electrostatic discharges (ESD) and prevents interference with other electronic equipment.
Follow these steps to ground the system.
a. Connect the hoop of the grounding wire (supplied in kit) to the “Ground” screw on the rear panel of the TV-Hub. Connect the other end to ship’s common ground.
b. Connect grounding blocks in-line with all of the RF cables. Attach a ground wire from each grounding block to ship’s common ground. Then mount each grounding block using the two supplied #6 screws (see Figure 33).
WARNING
Failure to ground the TracVision system properly to the vessel’s ground will cause an unsafe floating ground condition, risking damage to the antenna and electric shock, potentially resulting in DEATH. In a floating ground condition, the difference between the equipment's chassis ground and the vessel’s ground can measure well over 100 volts, when it normally should not exceed 2 volts. Therefore, always measure the difference in potential between chassis ground and the vessel’s ground to make certain there is no dangerous floating ground condition.
The TV-Hub and any grounding blocks must be connected to the ship’s common ground to maintain the same electrical ground potential.

Connect Power to the System
NOTE: Apply power to all other system components before powering up the receivers and DVRs (tuners are assigned SWM channels during startup).
Follow these steps to connect power to the TracVision system, but do not power it on.
a. Make sure the TV-Hub’s ground wire has been connected as described on the previous page.
b. Connect the TV-Hub power cable (supplied in kit) to the 10-30 VDC power input on the rear of the TV-Hub.
c. Connect the black wire of the TV-Hub power cable to DC return (ship’s ground), and the red wire to the vessel’s DC power supply (see Figure 34).
d. Connect the SWM power inserter’s power cable to an AC power supply.
NOTE: The TV-Hub requires 10-30 VDC from an appropriate DC power source. An optional 24 VDC AC-DC power supply (5 A, 120 W) is available from KVH (part no. 72-0669). The SWM power inserter requires 120 VAC. DC-AC power inverters are available from third party suppliers, if required.
e. Check for proper grounding by using a multimeter to measure the AC and DC voltages between the ground stud on the rear of the TV- Hub and ship’s ground. The measured voltage should be less than 2 VAC and 2 VDC.
f. Repeat step e with the TV-Hub powered on, looking for the same measured result (see “Turn On the System” on page 21).
WARNING
If you measure 2 volts or greater, notify the ship’s electrician or authorized vessel representative immediately. This is a dangerous condition. Do not touch the TV- Hub rear panel or connect anything to it until the problem is fixed.
