CAUTION
For your own safety, disconnect vessel power
before you connect any power wires. Test the
circuit to ensure no power is present.
The TracVision antenna requires a stable
12 VDC (4 amps continuous) power supply.
Circular systems include a 15 VDC (4 A)
power supply; linear systems do not.
However, a power supply with a European-
style power cord is available for purchase
from KVH (KVH part #72-0312-01).
