Connecting System Components

The following sections provide instructions for properly wiring
the antenna unit to belowdecks components.
Locating the Switchplate
A switchplate has been provided to serve as the hub of the
TracVision C3 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 C3
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.
