Grounding the Receiver(s)
A grounding wire has been provided to connect your receiver to a
ground point. Attach the grounding wire to any screw on the rear
panel of the receiver with a good contact with the receiver chassis.
Connect the other end of the wire to a suitable ground, ideally to
the MCU ground terminal
(route the ground wire to the MCU and
leave unconnected for now)
. Each receiver that you connect to the
TracVision system should have a similar ground connection.

Wiring the MCU
All other wiring for the TracVision system connects at the rear
panel of the MCU.
For the TracVision system to work properly, you must connect
the following cables to the MCU:
•
Antenna data/power cable
•
Vessel power cable
•
Receiver ground wire
Figure 2-16 shows the MCU’s rear panel connectors. Refer to this
figure when wiring components to the MCU.

If you are using a multiswitch to
connect multiple receivers, you may
ground the multiswitch instead of
the individual receivers.
