TracPhone V30 Installation Guide
Connect Power to the VSAT-Hub
Follow these steps to connect power to the TracPhone
V30 system.
1. Before you begin, disconnect vessel power and be
sure the vessel is properly grounded in accordance
with marine standards.
2. Connect the supplied power cable wires to the
supplied 2-position terminal strip connector as
described:
• Connect the black wire from “Vin-” on the terminal
strip connector to DC Return.
• Connect the red wire from “Vin+” on the terminal
strip connector to the vessel’s 12 or 24 VDC (5A,
160 W max.) power source.
Note: To connect to AC vessel power, an optional 24 VDC
AC-DC power supply (5A, 160 W) is available from KVH
(part no. 72-0953). Consider installing an uninterruptible
power supply (UPS) between the AC-DC power supply and
vessel power to avoid service interruptions during power
outages and transitions to/from shore power.
3. Insert a fuse ( supplied in kit ) into the in-line fuse holder.
If vessel power supplies 12 volts, use the blue 15A
fuse. If vessel power supplies 24 volts, use the orange
5A fuse.
4. Connect the terminal strip connector to the
VSAT-Hub’s Power connector.
5. Check for proper grounding by using a multimeter to
measure the AC and DC voltages between the ground
stud on the rear of the VSAT-Hub and ship’s ground.
The measured voltage should be less than
2 VAC and 2 VDC.
A higher voltage indicates a
dangerous floating ground condition.
6. Repeat step 5 with the VSAT-Hub powered on, looking
for the same measured result.

IMPORTANT!
All power connections must be hard wired.
WARNING
If you measure 2 volts or greater between
the ground stud on the rear of the VSAT-
Hub and ship’s ground, notify the ship’s
electrician or authorized vessel
representative immediately. This is a
dangerous condition. Do not touch the
VSAT-Hub rear panel or connect anything to
it until the problem is fixed.
