AC Power Requirements Figure 12 Power Requirements
The TracVision system is designed to run on

3-wire single-phase AC power (hot, neutral, and
ground). Voltage between hot-neutral and hot-
ground should each measure between 100-
240 VAC. Ground Shipboard
3-Wire
Many large ships use two-phase, split-phase, or Single-Phase
100-240 VAC AC Power
delta power instead (3 wires: hot, hot, and
ground; no neutral). In this case, voltage between

Neutral
hot-hot measures the proper voltage (100- OR
240 VAC); while hot-ground measures only half Leakage Current
the voltage (50-120 VAC). Although the TracVision Equipment
TracVision system can operate on this type of
power, the excess voltage present on the second
phase will cause a small amount of current to

Two-Phase,
might be unacceptable on some vessels, so check Split-Phase,
with the customer or ship's electrician and get 50-120 VAC or Delta Power
permission before you run the system on two-
phase power. Also be sure to ground the system, 50-120 VAC

4 Continued Plan the Belowdecks Installation
Grounding Requirements
Proper grounding of the TracVision system to
ship's ground is critically important, as it protects
the equipment from lightning and electrostatic
discharges (ESD). Failure to ground the chassis of
the ACU risks damage to the antenna and electric
shock.
WARNING
Failure to ground the TracVision system
properly to ship's ground will cause an
unsafe floating ground condition, risking
damage to the antenna and electric shock,
potentially resulting in DEATH. In a
floating ground condition, the difference
between the equipment's chassis ground and
the ship's ground can measure well over
100 volts, when it normally should not
exceed 25 volts. Therefore, always measure
the difference in potential between chassis
ground and ship's ground to make certain
that there is no dangerous floating ground
condition, even if the ground pin of the
vessel's AC power plug appears to be intact.

points toward the vessel’s bow and is parallel
to the vessel’s centerline (see Figure 13).

c. Secure the mounting template in place using (247.50 mm)
adhesive tape, or equivalent.
d. Using a light hammer and center punch,
mark the cable access hole and mounting

e. Using an electric drill with a 5/8" (16 mm) bit,
drill the four antenna mounting holes at the
locations you marked in the previous step.
f. Cut out the 3.75" (95 mm) cable access hole at
the location you marked earlier.
g. Using a file, smooth the edges of the cable
access hole to protect the cables. Later, you
will route the power/data and RF cables
through this hole and into the vessel.
h. Clean and dry the mounting surface.

Then press the foam seal down firmly onto
the mounting surface, ensuring the hole in
the foam seal aligns with the cable access hole
in the mounting surface (see Figure 13).
