TracVision G8
Owner’s Manual Addendum
(ECO #7866)
The following information applies to Revision E of the
TracVision G8 Owner’s Manual (KVH Part Number 54-0198).
Power Requirement for Extended Data/Power Cable
The TracVision G8 antenna system comes with a 100 ft (30 m)
data/power cable. This cable supplies operating power from the
Master Control Unit (MCU) to the antenna.
If you need to use a data/power cable longer than 100 ft (30 m),
the power input to the MCU must measure
at least 12 VDC
. This
minimum voltage level is necessary due to the added resistance
of the extended length of cable. The power supply must also be
capable of supplying
90 watts
to the antenna. Be sure to confirm
that the vessel’s power supply meets these mininum power
requirements before you install the TracVision G8.
