TracVision 6 Components

Your TracVision 6 system includes the following components:
Antenna Unit
The antenna unit houses the antenna positioning mechanism, low
noise block (LNB), power supply, and control elements within a
molded ABS radome. Weathertight connectors on the bottom of
the baseplate join the power, signal, and control cabling from
belowdecks units.
Switchplate
The switchplate controls power to the antenna via the On/Off
switch. It also provides a DB9 maintenance port for connecting a
computer or TV/SAT Switch for changing satellites and
configuring the system.
Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD)
(Satellite TV Receiver)
The IRD (purchased separately) receives satellite signals from the
antenna unit for signal processing and channel selection, and
sends the signals to the TV set for viewing. Please refer to the
user's manual provided with your selected IRD for complete
operating instructions.

Before you can start watching
satellite TV using your TracVision
antenna, you will need to activate
