Wire the Switchplate
9
The TracVision system requires an 11-16 VDC power input. A
quick-tripping circuit breaker should be installed between the
switchplate and vehicle power. Circuit overload protection
should be rated for 5 amps. If vehicle power fluctuates widely or
is noisy, a 12 VDC 5-amp AC/DC power supply should be
installed (KVH Part # 19-0402 or equivalent).
1. Disconnect vehicle power by removing the
appropriate vehicle fuse. Test the circuit to ensure
that no power is present.
2. Connect the antenna's data/power cable to the
switchplate's data/power connector and lock in
place.
