Mounting The Antenna Unit - KVH Industries TracVision C3 Owner's Manual

A Guide to TracVision C3
Always lift the antenna unit by the
gray baseplate, never by the
radome or any portion of the
antenna assembly!
The antenna's baseplate
connectors may face either forward
or backward along the centerline of
the vessel for more convenient
installation.

Antenna Mounting Procedure
1. Make sure that you have chosen a suitable
mounting location based upon the guidelines in
Section 2.1, "Choosing the Best Location."
2. Remove the antenna unit from its shipping carton.
3. Remove and save the 8 pan head screws and flat
washers that secure the radome to the baseplate.
Carefully lift the radome straight up until clear of
the antenna assembly and set aside.
4. Position the antenna unit in the desired location
on the centerline of the vessel with the baseplate
and mounting plate arrows facing in the same
direction (either forward or aft). The mounting
plate dimensions and ideal orientation of the
system are illustrated in Figures 2-2 and 2-3,
