System Components

Your TracVision G8 system includes the following components:
Antenna Unit
The antenna unit houses the antenna positioning mechanism, low
noise block converter (LNB), GPS, and three-axis sensor within a
molded ABS radome. Systems equipped with the linear quad
LNB include a skew control mechanism that automatically
adjusts the LNB's skew to account for regional changes and
different satellite services. Power, signal, and control cabling from
belowdecks units are connected to the antenna at the rear of the
baseplate.
Master Control Unit (MCU)
The MCU is the user interface, providing access to the system
and its functions through an LCD and three buttons. The MCU
also serves as the system's junction box, allowing the system to
use ship's power, and supply and receive data to/from the
TracVision G8. The MCU can accept any power input between
9 and 36 volts DC; its power supply provides power to the
antenna and galvanically isolates the TracVision G8 system.
Satellite TV Receiver (IRD) – Sold Separately
The receiver (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 receiver for complete
operating instructions.
