System Configuration

1 Introduction

1.1 Digital Satellite Television

The DIRECTV®and DISH™Network systems transmit digital

audio and video data from land-based transmitters to a

satellite “parked” above the equator. Each satellite relays the

signals in spot beams covering the continental United States

and contiguous waters. TracVision Cruiser is designed to

identify, lock on to, and track the appropriate satellite, both

while your vessel is at rest and in motion.

1.2 TracVision Cruiser

System Overview

Your KVH TracVision Cruiser employs a state-of-the-art

actively stabilized antenna system designed for use with

Ku Band satellite television reception. This vessel-referenced

stabilization system is enhanced by a conical scan tracking

function to detect and lock on to the strongest signal, resulting

in the clearest reception possible.

A complete satellite TV system includes the TracVision Cruiser

connected to an Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD), aka a

“satellite receiver,” and a television set. A desktop or laptop

computer is used to conduct diagnostics. The interrelationship

of units is illustrated in Figure 1-2. System specifications and a

functional block diagram are provided in Appendices A and B,

respectively.

1.2.1 TracVision Cruiser Components

The Antenna Unit includes the antenna positioning

mechanism, signal front end, power supply and control

elements. These include antenna drive controls and

mechanisms, the cable wrap subassembly, antenna gyro

sensor, power conditioning and regulating circuits, and the RF

detector. The antenna is a parabolic dish mounting a dual port

low noise block (LNB) converter with built-in preamplifier. A

molded ABS radome encloses the baseplate and is secured in

place with standard fasteners. Liquid-tight (watertight) fittings

located on the back of the baseplate join the power, signal, and

control cabling to below-decks units.

1.2.2 Integrated Receiver Decoder

The IRD receives satellite signals from the Antenna Unit for

signal decoding, processing and channel selection, and sends

the signals to the TV set for viewing. Messages are sent from

the IRD to the Antenna Unit and messages are received from

the Antenna Unit for display on the television screen. The IRD

also provides the interface for the user to activate authorization

for reception. Please refer to the User’s Manual provided with

your selected IRD for complete operating instructions.

Multiple IRDs may be connected to the Antenna Unit to

provide satellite signals to a number of TV sets. When two

or more IRDs are connected to the same antenna, an active

multiswitch must be installed between the Antenna Unit and

On-screen messages are not

available with a DISH Network IRD.

For directions on installing a

multiswitch with your TracVision

Cruiser system, refer to Section

2.4.3, “Connecting the Antenna RF

Signal Cable to the IRD.”

Always lift the antenna unit by the

gray baseplate and not the radome,

antenna reflector, or internal

mechanical assemblies.

NEVER pick up the unit by the LNB

or the gyro!

the IRDs. The multiswitch contains relays that select the proper

output from the antenna LNB to send to the IRD. In multiple

IRD installations, all IRDs must be for the same satellite

television service (i.e., DIRECTV or DISH Network).

1.3.1 Additional Materials Required for

TracVision Cruiser Use

To make full use of your new TracVision Cruiser and receive

satellite TV on the water, you will need to provide/purchase

the following:

•Television

•Appropriate IRD for your selected satellite

TV service (if using the DISH Network, a

Series 4000 or 5000 IRD will be required)

•Sealing materials to weatherproof cable holes

and seal mounting plate

•Optional KVH EchoStar Adapter (for use with

the DISH Network service and IRD)

Introduction

54-0144 Rev. C

Operation of the DISH Network

requires the purchase of an

EchoStar IRD Adapter. The

adapter is not shipped in the main

TracVision Cruiser container. To

purchase an EchoStar Adapter,

contact KVH or your local KVH

dealer and ask for KVH Product

Number 02-0899.
