1.2.1 TracVision S3 Components
Figure 1-2 identifies the primary components of the TracVision S3.
The European configuration includes a single port LNB while the
North American system uses a dual-output LNB.
1.2.2 Integrated Receiver Decoder
The IRD (purchased separately) receives satellite signals from the
Antenna Unit for signal processing and channel selection, and
sends the signals to the TV set for viewing. The IRD also
provides the interface for the user to activate authorization for
reception. Please refer to the User’s Manual provided with your
selected IRD for complete operating instructions.

Always lift the Antenna Unit by the
gray baseplate and not the radome,
antenna reflector, or internal
mechanical assemblies.
NEVER
pick up the unit by the
LNB or the antenna bracket!
The dual-output LNB in the North
American systems allows two
IRD/TV pairs to be connected
directly to the antenna. Three or
more pairs can be connected to the
system if an active multiswitch is
used.
the Antenna RF Signal Cable to the
IRD,”
provides installation directions
for each of these options.
