1. Route an RF cable up through the deck’s cable
access hole.
2. Connect the RF cable to the antenna’s RF1
connector (see Figure 2-17). Once the cable is
securely connected, loosen the sealing nut at the
base of the RF1 connector and tighten it onto the
end of the RF cable.

SATELLITEIN connector.
2.3.5.1 Installing Two IRDs and TVs (North American Systems Only)
To connect a second TV and IRD to the TracVision C3 system,
you must connect a second RF cable to the antenna’s RF2
connector (see Figure 2-17). Route the other end of the RF cable
down into the vessel and connect it directly to the second IRD.

Antenna RF Connectors
KVH recommends the use of
RG-6 or RG-11 (75 ohms) cable
for RF wiring.Use of non-RG-6
or RG-11 (75 ohms) cables will
result in degraded performance.
The KVH warranty does not cover
degraded performance due to
improper wiring.
When shipped from the factory, the
antenna’s RF connectors are
protected with caps.Leave the cap
installed on the RF2 connector
unless you are going to connect a
second RF cable to the
TracVision C3.
