TracVision®M9 LNB Replacement

Instructions

Circular LNB Replacement Instructions

Follow the instructions below to replace a

circular LNB with a new circular LNB of the

same type. LNB types are shown in Figure 1.

NOTE: If you need to replace a linear LNB instead,

refer to “Linear LNB Replacement Instructions” on

page 4.

Step 1 - Remove the Radome

Follow the steps below to remove the radome.

a. Disconnect power from the TracVision

system and any connected receivers and/or

multiswitch.

b. Remove the eight Phillips screws securing the

radome to the baseplate. Then set the radome

aside in a safe place (see Figure 2).

CAUTION

For your own safety, be sure to disconnect

power from all wired components before

performing this procedure.

Step 2 - Replace the LNB

Follow the instructions below to replace the

circular LNB.

a. If a tie-wrap is securing the LNB cables to the

LNB, cut and remove the tie-wrap (see

Figure 3).

b. Using a 7/16" open-end wrench, disconnect

the RF cables from the LNB. Then connect

them to the same connectors on the new LNB

(see Figure 3 and Figure 4).

c. Using a 5/64" hex key, loosen the two hex

screws securing the LNB to the choke feed

(see Figure 4).

NOTE: Some antennas use wing screws instead of

hex screws to secure the LNB to the choke feed.

d. Remove the LNB.

e. Insert the new LNB into the choke feed. Be

sure to fully insert the LNB into the choke

feed to ensure optimal performance.

f. Using a 5/64" hex key, tighten the two hex

screws to secure the LNB to the choke feed

(see Figure 4).

g. Reinstall the radome and restore power to the

TracVision system and any connected

receivers and/or multiswitch.

The procedure is complete!

Linear LNB Replacement Instructions

Follow the instructions below to replace a linear

LNB with a new linear LNB of the same type.

LNB types are shown in Figure 5.

NOTE: If you need to replace a circular LNB instead,

refer to “Circular LNB Replacement Instructions” on

page 2.

Step 1 - Remove the Radome

Follow the steps below to remove the radome.

a. Disconnect power from the TracVision

system and any connected receivers and/or

multiswitch.

b. Remove the eight Phillips screws securing the

radome to the baseplate. Then set the radome

aside in a safe place (see Figure 6).

CAUTION

For your own safety, be sure to disconnect

power from all wired components before

performing this procedure.

Step 2 - Replace the LNB

Follow the instructions below to replace the

linear LNB.

a. Cut and remove the tie-wrap securing the

cables to the LNB (see Figure 7).

b. Using a 7/16" open-end wrench, remove the

RF cables from the old LNB and connect them

to the same connectors on the new LNB (see

Figure 7).

c. Using a 5/64" hex key, loosen the two screws

securing the old LNB to the choke feed (see

Figure 8).

NOTE: Some antennas use wing screws instead of

hex screws to secure the LNB to the choke feed.

d. Remove the LNB.

e. Insert the new LNB into the choke feed. Be

sure to fully insert the LNB into the choke

feed to ensure optimal performance. Then

tighten the hex screws just enough to secure

the LNB in place.

f. Rotate the skew motor assembly counter-

clockwise, until the limit switch prevents

further rotation, as shown in Figure 8. This

will ensure a stable measuring surface in the

following step.

g. Using a digital level, ensure there is no more

than a 1° difference between the angle of each

measuring surface. When the LNB is position,

tighten the hex screws to secure it into place.

h. Using a supplied tie-wrap, secure the LNB

cables and skew motor cable to the LNB, as

shown in Figure 7. Be sure to leave an

adequate cable bend radius; sharp bends or

kinks in the cables can impair performance.

Step 3 - Configure the New Linear LNB

The following instructions explain how to

configure the antenna to use the new linear LNB.

a. Rotate the skew motor assembly until the

LNB’s connectors are facing approximately

straight downward. Then, using a digital

level, measure and record the angle of the

LNB, as shown in Figure 9.

b. Reconnect power to the TracVision system.

Then connect a PC to the TracVision system.

NOTE: Connection instructions vary. Refer to the

Flash Update Wizard’s Help file for connection

instructions (see Figure 10).

c. Open the Flash Update Wizard. Then turn on

the TracVision system.Wait 2 minutes for

system startup.

d. Type the following commands into the

wizard’s “Command” box. Press Enter after

each command.

HALT

DEBUGON

SKEWMTRON

ZAP

e. The antenna will restart. Wait two minutes

for system startup.

f. Type the following commands into the

wizard’s “Command box.” Press Enter after

each command.

HALT

DEBUGON

EL,0

SKEW,0

g. Using a digital level, measure and record the

angle of the LNB (see Figure 9).

NOTE: The digital level always displays positive

angles. However, the antenna skew mechanism

regards angles clockwise from vertical as negative and

counterclockwise from vertical as positive (see

Figure 11).

h. Type the following command into the

wizard’s “Command” box. Then press Enter.

=CALSKEW,XX.X

NOTE: XX.X = the LNB angle you just recorded.

NOTE: If the angle you recorded is a negative

number, be sure to use a negative (–) sign when

entering the angle. For example, if the digital level

measures 10.5°, and it is angled clockwise from

vertical, you would type =CALSKEW,–10.5.

i. Repeat Step g. Verify that the level now reads

0° (within 1°).

j. Reinstall the radome and restore power to the

TracVision system and any connected

receivers and/or multiswitch.

The procedure is complete!
