This icon indicates a danger, warning, or caution notice. Be sure to read these carefully to avoid

injury.

WARNING

Risk of Electric Shock

To avoid electric shock, do not open the TV-Hub chassis enclosure. There are no user-serviceable parts

inside.

WARNING

Risk of Electric Shock

If any component of the TracVision system becomes damaged and/or no longer functions normally,

disconnect it from vessel power, secure it from unintended operation, and contact KVH Technical

Support (see “Technical Support” on page 1). All repairs or modifications must be performed by a

trained, KVH-certified technician. If you are a KVH-certified technician, you still must contact KVH

Technical Support prior to conducting any repairs or modifications to the equipment.

WARNING

Risk of Explosion

Do not operate the TV-Hub (or any other electrical device) in an environment where flammable gases,

vapors, or dusts are present. In addition, do not operate the TV-Hub in an environment with a

temperature outside its 5º F to 131º F (-15º C to 55º C) temperature range.

WARNING

Risk of Electric Shock

Failure to ground the TracVision system properly to ship’s ground will cause an unsafe floating

ground condition, risking potentially lethal electric shock. See “Connect Power” on page 20 for details

on the proper grounding of the equipment.

CAUTION

Risk of Burns

Make sure the antenna is pointed away from the sun whenever the radome is removed. The high-gloss

reflector can focus sunlight into a narrow beam, generating a significant amount of heat that can cause

damage and injury.

Inspect Parts and Get Tools

IMPORTANT!

Before you begin, consider the following antenna

installation guidelines.

• Minimize blockage. The antenna requires a

clear view of the sky to receive satellite TV

(see Figure 3). The fewer obstructions, the

better the system will perform.

• Consider the distance between your antenna

and any radar. KVH requires that you do not

mount the antenna on the same level as the

radar, because the radar’s energy may

damage the LNB. Most radar transmitters

emit RF energy within an elevation range of

-15º to +15º (see Figure 4). Therefore, mount

the antenna outside of this elevation range

and at least 3 ft (1 m) away from the radar.

• Make sure the mounting surface is wide

enough to accommodate the antenna’s base

(see Figure 5). Also make sure it is flat, level

(within ±2°), strong enough to support the

antenna’s weight, and rigid enough to

prevent antenna vibration.

• Select a location that is as close as possible to

the intersection of the vessel’s fore-and-aft

centerline and midships.

• Be sure to mount the antenna near enough to

the TV-Hub belowdecks to allow you to

connect the 50-ft. (15 m) coax cable between

them, while still maintaining sufficient slack

in the cable.

NOTE: If you need to use a longer cable, use a RG-6

(75 ) cable that does not exceed 100 ft (30 m) in

length.

Be sure to follow the guidelines below.

Damage caused by an improper installation is

not covered under KVH warranty.

Plan the Antenna Installation

Consider the following TV-Hub installation

guidelines.

• Select a mounting location in a dry, well-

ventilated area belowdecks away from any

heat sources or salt spray.

• Do not install the TV-Hub in an area

surrounded by metal or near any electrical

devices that emit RF noise.

• The TV-Hub can be mounted horizontally or

vertically on a flat surface (see Figure 6 and

Figure 7).

• Be sure the TV-Hub LED lights will be visible

to the user.

• Select a location that will provide adequate

clearance for the TV-Hub dimensions (see

Figure 6 and Figure 7).

• Leave enough room behind the rear panel

(horizontal mount) or below the rear panel

(vertical mount) to accommodate connecting

the cables and making service loops within

the proper bend radius.

• If you plan to use the TV-Hub’s Wi-Fi

connections, ensure the TV-Hub mounting

location provides adequate Wi-Fi reception.

• If you plan to connect the TV-Hub to the

vessel’s onboard local area network (LAN),

choose a location near an available Ethernet

port.

NOTE: A template showing the exact locations of the

TV-Hub mounting holes and the dimensions between

them is provided in the Welcome Kit. Installation

details are provided in “Mount the TV-Hub” on

page 11.

Plan the TV-Hub Installation

Once you have identified a suitable antenna

mounting site, according to the guidelines

provided on page 4, follow these steps to prepare

the mounting site for installation.

a. Unfold the antenna mounting template

(supplied in the Customer Welcome Kit) and

place it onto the mounting surface. Make sure

the “FWD” (forward) arrow points toward

the bow and is parallel to the vessel’s

centerline (see Figure 8). Tape in place.

NOTE: You don’t need to mount the antenna exactly

on the centerline (the closer, the better), but the

antenna’s forward arrow must be parallel to it.

b. Using a light hammer and center punch,

mark the locations for the four mounting

holes and cable access hole on the mounting

surface in the locations indicated on the

template.

c. Drill a 1/4" (6 mm) hole at the four mounting

hole locations you marked in Step b. Later,

you will insert four #10-32 screws through

these holes to secure the antenna to the

mounting surface.

d. Using a hole saw, drill the cable access hole in

the location you marked in Step b. Be sure to

size the hole approximately to maintain a

cable bend radius of at least 3" (80 mm). If the

hole location is in the center of the antenna

mounting hole pattern, the diameter of the

cable access hole must not exceed 3.5"

(89 mm). Smooth the edges of the hole to

protect the cables. Later, you will route the

RF cable(s) through this hole and into the

vessel.

e. Clean and dry the antenna mounting surface.

f. Peel off the paper backing from the supplied

foam seal to expose the adhesive. Then press

the foam seal down firmly onto the mounting

surface, ensuring the hole in the foam seal

aligns with the cable access hole in the

mounting surface (see Figure 9).

Prepare the Antenna Site

Follow these steps to connect the antenna cable to

the antenna.

a. Attach the four rubber mounting feet

(supplied in the kitpack) to the bottom of the

antenna at the locations shown in Figure 10.

NOTE: If the optional mounting bracket was

purchased with the system (KVH part no. 72-0639),

install it first according its installation instructions.

b. Route the antenna cable belowdecks through

the cable access hole.

If you are routing the cable underneath the

antenna (normal installation):

Keep the end of the cable with the right-angle

connector and rubber sealing boot at the

antenna site. You may remove the straight

rubber boot at the opposite end of the cable

for easier cable routing, if necessary.

If you are routing the cable straight down

from the connector (alternate installation):

Keep the straight connector and rubber

sealing boot at the antenna site.

c. Leave an adequate service loop (8" (20 cm) of

slack) in the cable for serviceability.

d. Clean and dry the connectors on the RF cable

and the underside of the antenna.

e. Fill half of the inner body of the RF cable’s

connector with the supplied silicone grease.

f. Connect and SLOWLY hand-tighten the RF

cable to the RF connector on the bottom of the

antenna, allowing the grease to diffuse and

settle into the entire space within the

connector.

CAUTION

Observe the safe handling instructions in the

Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provided

with the silicone grease.

Figure 10: Attaching the Rubber Feet

Be sure to install the rubber feet. They are

required to isolate the antenna from vibration.

IMPORTANT!

Wire the Antenna

g. Make sure the RF cable is hand-tightened all

the way into the connector. Then tighten it

with a 7/16" torque wrench set to 20 in-lbs, or

a 7/16" wrench for 1/4 turn (see Figure 11).

h. Wipe off any excess grease from the outside

of the connector.

i. Position the rubber boot over the connector to

help protect the connector from the elements

(see Figure 12).

j. Seal the RF cable connection with silicone

sealant or equivalent.

k. Weatherproof and seal the cable access hole

as required.

Figure 11: Connecting the Antenna Cable

Figure 12: Protecting the Connector with the Rubber Boot

Continued Wire the Antenna

Follow these steps to mount the antenna to the

mounting surface.

a. Remove the four #8-32 screws securing the

radome to the antenna (see Figure 13).

b. Carefully lift the radome straight up until

clear of the antenna assembly and set it aside

in a safe place.

If you keep the radome topside, secure it with

a lanyard to prevent it from falling

overboard. Also, do not place the radome on

a hot steel deck – the heat may warp the

radome.

c. Place the antenna baseplate over the holes

drilled in the mounting surface. Ensure the

“Forward” arrow inside the baseplate points

toward the bow and is parallel to the vessel’s

centerline (see Figure 14).

#8-32 Screw (x4)

Figure 13: Removing the Radome

Make sure the antenna is pointed away from

the sun whenever the radome is removed. The

high-gloss reflector can focus sunlight into a

narrow beam, generating a significant amount

of heat that can cause damage and injury.

IMPORTANT!
