Manual Addendum

(ECO #5885)

The following information applies to Revision A1 of the

TracVision S3 Owner’s Manual (KVH Part Number 54-0182).

Your TracVision S3 includes four small mounting plates for mounting

the antenna unit on a vehicle. These plates replace the large mounting

plate described in the manual.

TracVision S3 Packing List

Cables for the TracVision S3 are

stored beneath the antenna unit

during shipping.

2.1 Choosing the Best Location

Anote has been added to caution against mounting the antenna on a

curved surface.

•Be sure to mount the antenna on a horizontal

surface. When placed flat on the mounting surface,

the mounting plates should be less than 7⁄16" above

the mounting surface (see Figure 2-2). Any larger

gap will warp the baseplate and seriously damage

the antenna.

2.2 Mounting the Antenna Unit

The antenna unit mounting procedure has been changed to reflect the

different mounting plates.

1. Make sure that you have chosen a suitable

mounting location based upon the guidelines in

Section 2.1, “Choosing the Best Location.”

2. Remove the antenna unit from its shipping carton.

3. Position the antenna unit in the desired location

on the centerline of the vehicle with the antenna’s

mounting plate arrows facing the front or rear of

the vehicle. The proper orientation is illustrated in

Figure 2-3 on the following page.

Always lift the antenna unit by the

gray baseplate, never by the

radome or any portion of the

antenna assembly!

Maximum Mounting Surface Slope

4. While the antenna is in place, mark a location on

the roof for the cable access hole to permit

convenient cable access to the antenna’s baseplate

connectors.

5. Using the 4 mounting plates and each set of 5

holes as templates, drill 20 3⁄16"(5 mm) holes

through the roof of the vehicle.

6. Set aside the antenna unit and clean the roof’s

surface to remove any debris.

7. Apply construction adhesive to the bottom of the

antenna’s four mounting plates. If using a liquid

construction adhesive, apply beads to the

mounting plates in a zig-zag pattern.

8. Reposition the antenna, lining up the mounting

plate holes with the holes in the roof. Attach the

mounting plates to the roof using 3⁄16" (5 mm)-

diameter rivets (or appropriate fasteners). Seal all

rivet heads and edges with silicone.

9. Remove and save the 8 pan head screws and flat

washers that secure the radome to the baseplate.

Carefully lift the radome straight up until clear of

the antenna assembly and set aside.

Proper Orientation of

The mounting plate arrows may

face either forward or backward

along the centerline of the vehicle

for more convenient installation.

If the roof’s mounting surface is not

perfectly flat as KVH recommends,

make sure the baseplate does not

warp when you attach the

antenna’s mounting plates. Refer to

Section 2.1, “Choosing the Best

Location,” for further details.

10. When the antenna unit is installed with the

connectors facing the rear of the vehicle, the drain

holes are located as shown in Figure 2-4.

Drain Hole Locations

You MUST drill out the drain holes

as indicated to ensure that any

moisture that enters the baseplate

is able to drain. Ensure that factory-

drilled holes are completely sealed.

10a.(Alternate Drain Hole Locations) If the antenna unit

is installed with the connectors facing the front of

the vehicle, drill out 3⁄16" (5 mm)-drain holes in the

rear-facing side of the baseplate as illustrated in

Figure 2-5. The existing factory-drilled drain

holes shown in Figure 2-4 must then be plugged

with silicone rubber sealant.

11. Cut the tie-wraps holding the antenna unit to the

forward shipping restraint (see Figure 2-6).

12. Remove the nuts and washers securing the

shipping restraints to the baseplate. The positions

of all three shipping restraints are pictured in

Figure 2-7.

13. For convenient storage, rotate the shipping

restraints 180ºand secure them to their original

mounting bolts using the nuts and washers

removed in Step 12 (see Figures 2-8 through 2-10).

All nuts and washers removed in Step 12 must

be reinstalled. These nuts and washers secure the

baseplate to the mounting plates.

Do not discard the shipping

They should be stowed for future

use in case the antenna unit needs

to be removed and shipped to

another location. Four 1⁄4˝ x 5⁄8˝ hex

head screws have been provided in

the kitpack for shipping as the bolts

used to hold the shipping restraints

during initial shipping are integral

parts of the mounting plates.

14. Drill the cable access hole (marked in Step 4) in the

vehicle’s roof.

15. Proceed to Section 2.3, “Wiring the TracVision S3

System,” to wire the TracVision S3 system. The

radome will be placed back on the baseplate using

the hardware removed in Step 9 after wiring and

initializing the system.

The baseplate connectors have been changed to make installation easier.

TracVision S3 Cable Ports

Figure 2-14 shows the antenna unit’s exterior baseplate cable

ports, consisting of two RF connectors (ports #1 and #4) and two

liquid-tight fittings (ports #2 and #3). Figure 2-15 shows the

interior baseplate wiring. Refer to these figures when connecting

cables to the antenna unit.

2.3.1 Wiring the Antenna Data Cable

The data cable now enters the baseplate through the second liquid-tight

fitting (cable port #3). Interior baseplate wiring is unchanged.

Antenna Data Cable-to-Baseplate Terminals Wiring Process

1. Feed the cable up to the roof and through the

second liquid-tight fitting (#3) as pictured in

2.3.6 Connecting the Antenna RF Signal

Cable to the IRD

You no longer need to insert RF cables into the baseplate; they now

simply connect to the exterior baseplate connectors.

The RF signal cable is fitted with an F-type connector at only one

end and should be attached to TracVision S3 and the IRD as

follows:

1. For a single IRD installation, connect the

F-connector end of the RF signal cable to the

Antenna Unit baseplate connector labeled RF1 (see

Figure 2-14). Once the cable is securely connected,

loosen the sealing nut at the base of the RF1

connector and tighten it onto the end of the RF

cable.

2. Feed the bare end of the RF signal cable through

the cable access hole and into the vehicle.

3. Attach the provided F-connector to the end of the

RF signal cable inside the vehicle as illustrated in

Figure 2-24a-d, using an Augat Snap ‘n Seal

Crimp/Strip tool to lock the connector on the

cable.

A. Slide compression fitting onto raw cable

before beginning connector termination.

Attaching the KVH-provided

F-connector to an RF Cable

When shipped from the factory, the

antenna’s RF connectors are

protected with caps. Leave the cap

installed on the RF2 connector

unless you are going to connect a

second RF cable to the

TracVision S3.
