Installing the Receiver
Preparing the Antenna Cable
At this point, the antenna cable should already be
connected to the antenna and routed to the receiver. If
you
DO NOT
need to cut the end of the antenna
cable, and you wish to simply coil the excess cable
inside the vehicle, skip to
“Connecting the Antenna
Cable” on page 3.7
.
If you
DO
need to cut the antenna cable to the
desired length, follow the steps below.
1.
C
ut the antenna cable to the desired length. Be
sure the cable will reach the receiver rear panel
while allowing plenty of slack.
2.
Slide the F-connector assembly’s compression
fitting onto the raw cable before beginning
connector termination.
3.
Twist and break off the connector body.
4.
Push down the wire-
stripping blade on the
Augat tool so that you
can insert the antenna
cable.

To ensure a proper connection, you MUST
use an LRC/Augat IT1000 crimp/strip tool
to attach the supplied Snap-N-Seal
®
F-connector to the end of the cable. Do not
use a screw-on, push-on, twist-on, or any
other over-the-counter connector. Such low-
quality connectors WILL degrade system
performance and KVH does not warrant
their use. If you do not have an LRC/Augat
IT1000 tool, please order one from KVH at
(401) 847-3327.
