The following sections provide instructions for properly wiring
the antenna unit to the components inside the vehicle.
Locating the Switchplate
A switchplate has been provided to serve as the hub of the
TracVision R5/R4 wiring (with the exception of the RF cable,
which will be connected to the receiver). This switchplate
includes an ON/OFF switch and a DB9 maintenance port for
easy access to the antenna unit's software and diagnostics.
Follow the steps below to select and prepare the switchplate
mounting location.
1. Select a location to mount the TracVision R5/R4
switchplate. It should be installed in a dry, flat
location within reach of the cables that will
connect to the antenna unit.
2. Once you've decided on a suitable location, create
a panel cutout in the mounting surface.
Figure 2-9 illustrates the mounting dimensions
and a full-scale template has been provided in
Appendix B. The connecting cables will be routed
through this cutout.
