2.4.3 Connecting the IRD Ground Wire
A grounding wire has been provided to connect your IRD to a
suitable ground and protect the system. Attach the grounding
wire to any suitable screw on the rear panel of the IRD with a
good contact with the IRD chassis. The other end should be
connected to a suitable ground, ideally the ground connection at
the rocker switch (see Figure 2-21).
2.4.4 Connecting the Antenna RF Signal
Cable to the IRD
The RF signal cable is fitted with an F-type connector at only one
end and should be attached to TracVision SA and the IRD as
follows:
1. Feed the bare end of the RF signal cable through
the #2 liquid-tight fitting at the back of the
TracVision SA baseplate and away from the dome.
Leave the F-connector inside the TracVision SA
baseplate (as pictured in Figure 2-22 on the
following page).

Before connecting the Antenna Unit
to vehicle power, remove the
appropriate vehicle fuse to prevent
a short circuit. Replace the fuse
after the connection to vehicle
power is complete.
When shipped from the factory, the
#1 liquid-tight fitting is sealed with a
rubber stopper. Leave the stopper n
the fitting unless you are going to
install a dual output LNB and be
connect a second RF cable to the
TracVision SA.
