1.2.1 TracVision S2 Components

The antenna unit includes the antenna positioning mechanism,
signal front end, power supply and control elements. These
elements include antenna drive controls and mechanisms, the
cable wrap subassembly, power conditioning and regulating
circuits, and the RF detector. The antenna is a parabolic dish
mounting a dual-output low noise block (LNB) converter with
built-in preamplifier. A molded ABS radome encloses the
baseplate and is secured in place with standard fasteners.
Connectors on the back of the baseplate join the power, signal,
and control cabling from units inside the vehicle.
1.2.2 Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD)
The IRD (purchased separately) receives satellite signals from the
antenna unit for signal decoding, processing, and channel
selection, and sends the signals to the TV set for viewing. In
addition, messages can be sent from the IRD to the antenna unit
and messages can be received from the antenna unit for display
on the television screen. The IRD also provides the interface for
the user to activate authorization for reception. Please refer to the
User's Manual provided with your selected IRD for complete
operating instructions.
