nuts and washers at locations 5-7.

c. Carefully position the cover to allow access to the PCB.

NOTE: Be sure to handle the cover carefully to avoid damaging or

dislodging PCB components.

e. Disconnect the two Molex wires from the main PCB.

f. Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, remove the four screws

securing the RF PCB (see Figure 2).

g. Remove the faulty RF PCB.

h. Reverse this process to install the replacement RF PCB.

Then reinstall the radome and reconnect power to the

TracVision system.

Step 2 - Check the Main PCB Software Version

You might need to update the software in the TracVision system’s

main PCB, depending on its software version. The following

instructions explain how to check the currently installed main PCB

software version.

a. Follow the instructions provided in the TracVision M7

User’s Guide to connect a PC to the TracVision system.

b. Double-click the KVH Flash Update Wizard shortcut on

your PC’s desktop to start the Flash Update Wizard.

d. Type VERSION then press Enter. The antenna’s main

PCB software version will appear in the “TracVision

Antenna Comms” window. Be sure to record the

software version for later use.

e. Type ZAP then press Enter.

f. Click the Flash Update Wizard’s “View Release Notes”

button. Then click the “Flash File Log” link within the

Release Notes. Ensure that your main PCB software

version matches the version listed for your TracVision

model.

g. If your software version matches the software version

listed in the Release Notes, the procedure is complete!

Be sure to return the old RF PCB to KVH.

NOTE: Before returning the RF PCB, be sure to obtain an RMA

number from KVH Technical Support and write the number clearly

on the outside of the box. Shipments received without an RMA

number will be returned to you at your expense.

If your software version does not match the software version

listed in the Release Notes, proceed to “Step 3 - Flash the

Main PCB (if required).”

Step 3 - Flash the Main PCB (if required)

The main PCB now needs to be updated, or “flashed” to ensure

compatibility with the new RF PCB. Flashing also allows the antenna

to use the most current satellite configuration data available. Follow

the Flash Update Wizard instructions to flash the main board only.

NOTE: Only flash the main PCB if your software version does not match the

software version listed in the Release Notes (see “Step 2 - Check the Main

PCB Software Version” on page 3).

The procedure is complete! Be sure to return the faulty RF PCB to

KVH.

NOTE: Before returning the RF PCB, be sure to obtain an RMA number

from KVH Technical Support and write the number clearly on the outside of

the box. Shipments received without an RMA number will be returned to you

at your expense.
