b. Apply labels to the RF cables connected the

RF PCB (see Figure 3). You will need to

connect each cable to the same connector on

the new unit later.

c. Using a 7/16" open-end wrench, disconnect

the RF cables connected to the RF PCB (see

Figure 3).

d. If your system includes an inverter PCB, use

a screwdriver to loosen the two Phillips

screws securing the inverter PCB to the RF

PCB. You do not need to disconnect any

cables.

e. Disconnect all of the connectors from the

bottom of the PCB module. You will need to

connect each cable to the same connector on

the new unit later. Refer to the connector key

and label the cables as necessary.

f. Using a screwdriver, loosen the four Phillips

screws securing the PCB module to the

antenna frame.

g. Remove the PCB module.

h. Reverse these instructions to install the new

PCB module. Then proceed to “Step 3 -

Configure the Antenna” on page 4.

NOTE: Leave the radome off for now. You will

reinstall the radome later.

Step 3 - Configure the Antenna

Follow the steps below to configure the antenna

to use the new PCB module. This procedure

requires a PC with the latest version of the Flash

Wizard installed, you can use Windows®

HyperTerminal instead. Be sure to establish the

following settings: bits per second: 9600, data bits: 8,

parity: none, stop bits: 1, flow control: none.

a. Connect one end of a PC data cable to the

maintenance port on the rear of the MCU (see

Figure 5). Connect the other end to your PC.

NOTE: If your computer does not have a DB9

connector, you can use the following USB-to-RS232

adapters: Belkin part # F5U409 or # F5U109, or

IOGear part # GUC232A.

b. Apply power to the TracVision system.

c. Open the KVH Flash Update Wizard. You

will type the following commands into the

Flash Update Wizard’s “command” box.

d. Type HALT then press Enter.

e. Type DEBUGON then press Enter

f. Type =TVM9 then press Enter.

g. Type ZAP then press Enter to restart the

system.

h. Wait two minutes for system startup.

i. Type HALT then press Enter.

j. Type DEBUGON then press Enter.

k. Type EL,300 then press Enter.

l. Using a digital level, measure and record the

angle of the feed tube, as shown in Figure 6.

m. Type =CALUP,XX.X where xx.x is the

number you recorded in Step l.

n. Type =CALGYRO then press Enter. Wait

two minutes while the azimuth and elevation

gyros calibrate.

o. Type ZAP then press Enter to restart the

system.

p. Reinstall the radome.

Step 4 - Reinstall Satellites

The TracVision M9 system must now be set to

track the satellites of your choice. Follow the

instructions provided in the TracVision M9

User’s Guide to set the system to track your

selected satellites.

The procedure is complete!
