Preparation For Shipment - KVH Industries TracVision G6 Installation & Technical Manual

5.10 Preparation for Shipment

If you need to repack the antenna unit for shipment, the foam
shipping restraint removed during installation must be
reinstalled. Follow the steps below to reinstall the restraint.
1. Rotate the azimuth mechanism slowly to find the
limit switch stop. The front of the antenna should
be facing the forward arrow.
2. Rotate the azimuth mechanism 180˚ in the
opposite direction to ensure that the mechanism is
not resting on the limit switch stop.
3. With the antenna reflector slightly elevated, slip
the narrow end of the elevation shipping restraint
beneath the lip of the antenna reflector. Gently
wedge the restraint inside the baseplate as shown
in Figure 5-14.
4. Insert the two azimuth shipping restraints
between the edge of the baseplate and the rotating
plate along the side of the antenna frame, as
pictured in Figure 5-15.
5. Pack the TracVision G6 unit in its original package.
6. As detailed in the warranty accompanying this
product and printed on the last page of this
manual, a Return Material Authorization (RMA)
number is required prior to the return of the
TracVision G6 system to KVH. Contact the KVH
Technical Support Department at +1 401 847-3327
or via email at techs@kvh.com to obtain the RMA
