Technical Manual Addendum

Sky Mexico Customers Only

(ECO #7247)

The following changes apply to Revision G of the

TracVision 4-HP Technical Manual (KVH Part Number 54-0150).

Installed Satellites

The Sky Mexico satellite TV service is broadcast via the PAS 9

satellite located at 58º West longitude. Therefore, the Sky Mexico-

configured antenna (KVH part number 01-0234-05HPT) is

programmed to track the following satellites:

If you choose, you can install any other satellite from the

antenna’s satellite library as Satellite B (following the procedure

in Section 2.7, “Installing Satellites to Track” on page 28). However,

please note that the antenna may not be able to find your selected

second satellite when you switch from PAS_9 to Satellite B, since

the satellite may not be viewable from your location. For example,

in Mexico, you can receive Sky Mexico signals from PAS 9, but you

cannot receive signals from DSS_101, which provides DIRECTV

service to the U.S.

Multiswitch Restrictions

If you need to connect more than two receivers to the antenna

system for PAS 9 service, you must use an active multiswitch

that generates a 22 KHz tone (for example, Spaun models

5602NF or 5802NF).

54-0150 Addendum to Rev. G

PAS_9 NONE

LNB “Skew” Adjustment

Unlike most satellite TV signals in North America, which are

circularly polarized, the PAS 9 signal is linearly polarized, which

means it is transmitted in a certain orientation. Your Sky Mexico-

configured antenna is equipped with a special LNB that collects

these linear signals. To optimize reception, however, the LNB

must be oriented in the same way as the satellite signal. This

orientation adjustment is referred to as the LNB’s “skew.”

Figure 1 shows how skew determines the amount of signal the

LNB collects. The more signal it collects, the better the reception.

To set the skew, you simply need to rotate the LNB to the proper

angle, as shown in Figure 2.

The correct skew setting varies depending on your geographic

location, since the orientation of your antenna to the satellite

changes as you move. Follow the instructions on the following

pages to find the correct skew for your location and to adjust the

LNB’s skew setting.

Finding the Correct Skew for Your Location

You can find the correct skew for your location by either:

A. Querying the antenna (by entering commands via

a laptop connection), or

B. Finding your location on the PAS 9 skew map.

Option A - Querying the Antenna

To find the correct skew, follow the steps below.

1. Connect your laptop PC to the switchplate’s

Maintenance port using a serial data cable.

2. Open Windows HyperTerminal and establish the

following settings:

• Bits per second: 9600

• Data bits: 8

• Parity: None

• Stop bits: 1

• Flow control: None

3. Turn on the antenna and allow the antenna to

initialize. Data should be scrolling on your PC.

4. Type HALT then press Enter.

5. Type DEBUGON then press Enter.

6. Type the GPS command as shown below, then

press Enter:

Example: If your position is 24.8 North, 112.3 West,

you would enter GPS,25,N,112,W.

54-0150 Addendum to Rev. G

Command: GPS,XX,<N or S>,YYY,<E or W>

Where: XX = your latitude

YYY = your longitude

Figure 3

Switchplate Maintenance Port

If your computer does not have a

DB9 serial COM port, you can use

the following USB-to-RS232

adapter:

IOGear part number GUC232A

(visit www.iogear.com)

Instead of HyperTerminal, you can

use the KVH Flash Update Wizard

to enter antenna commands. The

Flash Update Wizard can be

downloaded from www.kvh.com/

wizard.

7. Type ZAP then press Enter to restart the antenna.

8. Once the antenna has initialized, type DEBUGON

then press Enter.

9. Type SKEWANGLE then press Enter. The antenna

reports the correct skew angle for the location that

you entered in Step 6.

Option B - Using the PAS 9 Skew Map

If you do not have a laptop, you can find the approximate skew

for your location using the map below.

When to Change the Skew

In general, if your LNB’s skew is set to within ± 8º of the ideal

skew for your location, the antenna should continue to provide

good satellite TV reception. However, if you travel to a location

in which your LNB’s skew differs by 9º or more, or if reception

degrades the further you travel, you should readjust the LNB’s

skew for your new location.

Example: If you traveled from El Salvador to Acapulco along the

coast, you wouldn’t need to change the skew, since the correct

skew is 66º for both locations. Even if you continued traveling

north to Cabo San Lucas, you should still have good satellite TV

reception, since the correct skew is 63º, a 3º difference. However,

if you traveled all the way to San Diego, where the correct skew

is 54º, a 12º difference, you might then need to readjust the skew

to enjoy satellite TV reception.

Setting the Skew

To set your LNB to the proper skew, follow the steps below.

1. Turn off the power to the antenna.

2. Remove the radome and set it aside in a safe place.

3. Loosen the two wing screws securing the LNB

within the choke feed, as shown in Figure 5.

4. Refer to the skew labels on the end of the LNB and

on the LNB choke feed (shown in Figure 6) and

adjust the LNB as necessary to match as closely as

possible the correct skew.

5. Retighten the wing screws.

6. Reinstall the radome.

Technical Manual Addendum

(ECO #7243)

The following changes apply to Revision G of the

TracVision 4-HP Technical Manual (KVH Part Number 54-0150).

Antenna Restarts After =CALGYRO Command

When the antenna receives an =CALGYRO command, it

calibrates the gyro then restarts. This eliminates the need to enter

a ZAP command following the calibration process.

If you need to calibrate the gyro, follow the updated procedure

below. This procedure replaces the “Calibrating the Antenna

Gyro” instructions in Section 4.6, “Replacing the Antenna Gyro

Assembly.”

1. With a PC connected to the switchplate’s

maintenance port, apply power to the antenna

unit.

2. Type HALT<cr>>(<cr> = Press the ENTER key)

while the system is performing the limit switch

initialization routine.

3. Type DEBUGON<cr> to enter Debug mode.

4. Type =LSTEST<cr>.

5. Type EL,300<cr>.

6. Type =CALGYRO<cr>.Verify that the Antenna

Gyro Azimuth scale factor is between -0.00090 and

-0.00110 and the Antenna Gyro Elevation scale

factor is between 0.00090 and 0.00110.

The antenna restarts. The gyro calibration process is

complete!

54-0150 Addendum to Rev. G

Refer to

Section 3.5, “Computer

Diagnostics”

for details on

connecting a PC to the

maintenance port.

Technical Manual Addendum

(ECO #7134)

The following changes apply to Revision G of the

TracVision 4-HP Technical Manual (KVH Part Number 54-0150).

The “=TV” configuration command printed in the manual is incorrect.

For your TracVision 4-HP system, the correct configuration command

=TVG4HPT

, not

=TVG4HP

You will need to enter the

=TVG4HPT

command whenever you replace

the main printed circuit board (PCB) or calibrate the antenna gyro, at

the steps noted below.
