Improper Wiring

If the system has been improperly wired, the antenna unit will
not operate correctly. Refer to

Section 2.4, “Wiring the MCU,” on

page 35

for complete system wiring information.

Vessel Turning During Startup

If the vessel turns during the two-minute startup sequence that
occurs immediately after turning on the power to the
TracVision G8, the antenna will record that variable motion as
“standing still.” This may cause the antenna to track
improperly. To solve this problem, turn the TracVision G8 off
for at least 10 seconds. Turn the system back on, ensuring that
the vessel is either motionless or traveling in a straight line for
the two minutes immediately following power-up.

Data/Power Cable Interference

Depending on how cables are routed, conducted emissions from
the system’s data/power cable may cause reduced picture
quality on your TV screen. If the picture quality degrades only
when the TracVision G8 is operating, try installing the small
ferrite coil supplied in the kitpack. Simply clamp it onto the
data/power cable to reduce its conducted emissions (see
Figure 4-2).

Incorrect Satellite Configuration
(European Systems Only)

The satellite configuration on European IRDs must match the
satellite settings on the TracVision G8 system.

Satellite A on the TracVision G8 must be the same
satellite as IRD Alternative 1 (or A, based on your
IRD) and must be assigned the IRD DiSEqC 1
setting.

Satellite B on the TracVision G8 must be the same
satellite as IRD Alternative 2 (or B, based on your
IRD) and must be assigned the IRD DiSEqC 2
setting.

Refer to your IRD user manual for complete instructions on
configuring your IRD.
