Multiswitch Requirements
Using the Installation Worksheet, plan and
record multiswitch requirements based on the
number of tuners needed. Refer to the
Installation Worksheet for details.
Installation Location Requirements
• Choose belowdecks installation locations that
are dry, well-ventilated, and away from any
heat sources or salt spray.
• Ensure the ACU mounting location(s)
provide adequate Wi-Fi reception. Do not
install in an area surrounded by metal or near
any electrical devices that emit RF noise.
• In order to use the supplied power/data
cable, the antenna must be mounted within
100 ft (30 m) of its ACU. However, you can
order a longer cable if needed – contact KVH
for details.
• If you are installing a SmartSwitch and you
wish to use the supplied PC data cable,
ACU A must be installed within 3 feet (1 m)
of the SmartSwitch. However, longer cabling
may be used – contact KVH for details.
