INTRODUCTION
Introduction to Intellian i3/i4/i4P
Intellian i3/i4/i4P is a digital satellite antenna system designed specifically
for all types of vessels (Anchored or transit) to automatically identify, track
and capture satellite signals from the Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB:
the international standard for digital TV transmissions) compatible
satellites.
Specifically, Intellian i3/i4/i4P has Wide Range Search (WRS) algorithm,
which minimizes the search time during initialization, and Dynamic Beam
Tilting (DBT) technology, which dynamically shapes the antenna beam to
utilize stabilization. Once the satellite is acquired, the antenna DBT
continuously measures the heading, pitch, and roll of the vessel by
obtaining the satellite signal level around the antenna point, and transmits
commands to the antenna motors to keep the antenna pointed at the
satellite at all times. This active stabilization is enhanced by a conical
scan tracking function to detect and lock onto the strongest signal,
resulting in the clearest reception possible. The i3/i4/i4P has a built-in
GPS system which enhances the speed of satellite signals acquisitions.
In addition, the i4P provides the embedded auto skew angle control
system to maintain the optimal signal strength and increase the quality of
satellite receptions in weak satellite single coverage area.

to receive the optimal signal level even when it is raining or snowing.
Fast and efficient search for the satellite
The WRS (Wide Range Search) algorithm allows for the antenna system
to search the satellite within the shortest amount of time and to detect the
satellite signal under any position and with any directional movement of
the ship.
Easy installation and outstanding reliability
Intellian i3/i4/i4P uses only one RF cable for installation. This makes
installation easy. Power, RF and Data signals transfer from the antenna
the ACU through this single cable. In addition, Intellian i3/i4/i4P provides
highly reliable system through the implementation of a modularized design,
and the usage of strictly proven components.
Built-in GPS
Intellian i3/i4/i4P has imbedded GPS, which allows for the system to
upload the GPS data automatically into the system for an even faster and
stable system.
Built-in automatic skew angle control system
The automatic skew control system allows Intellian i4P to maintain
the optimal skew angle at all times and ensure maximum level of
satellite signal level.

Planning the installation
Selection of Installation Site
Install the antenna in accordance with the following procedures to insure
maximum performance of the antenna.
The ideal antenna site has a clear view of the horizon/satellite all around.
Please be sure there are no
obstacles within 15 degrees
above the antenna. Any
obstacles located above a 15
degree elevation can prevent the
antenna from tracking the
satellite signal (Refer to the
drawing).
Antenna Unit
Keep the antenna out of line with nearby radars, as their energy levels may
overload the antenna front-end circuits. If necessary, position the antenna
unit so it is at least four feet (1.2 meters) above or below the level of the
radar.
Make sure that the mounting surface is rigid, so that it will not flex when the
vessel vibrates. If necessary, add a stiffening member to the mounting site to
strengthen it.
The movement of the antenna can be minimized by installing it at the center
of the ship. For optimal performance of the antenna, it is not recommended to
install at any corner of the ship, where the movement of the ship is the
greatest.
Install the bottom of the antenna parallel to the surface of the sea and fix
tightly to the structure of the ship.
When setting the antenna down, be careful not to have the RF connector.
Striking the connector on the bottom directly will damage the connector and
make connection impossible.

The LNB skew angle only needs to be adjusted when the target satellite uses
linear polarization. In order to receive the maximized satellite signal level, the
LNB skew angle must be adjusted according to the calculation of current
GPS location and target satellite.
It only needs to be adjusted when changing from satellite to another, or when
the boat has traveled a significant geographic distance. It should NOT need
to be readjusted if the boat stays in the same location and is operating on the
same satellite.
Skew Angle Adjustment for i3/i4
Polarization of your Intellian i3/i4 antenna must be accomplished manually by
the following steps.
Remove the upper part of Radome after switching power OFF.

OPERATION USING PC Controller Program
Introduction
GUI Software of Intellian i3/i4/i4P has been coded for the user to easily set up the
antenna by using the user’s personal computer. Using the GUI program enables
the user to easily monitor and modify the information of antenna, satellite and
GPS. Additionally, the detail diagnostic method of the antenna is provided by the
GUI program.
To start this GUI program,
1. Connect one end of PC serial cable to the serial port on the computer.
2. Connect the other end of the PC serial cable to the “PC Interface” on the
rear of ACU.
3. Execute GUI program by inserting the CD-ROM supplied into the CD-ROM
drive of the computer.
4. After turning on the power of the ACU, if the blue status circle does not
change to ‘Search’ or ‘Tracking’ from ‘Initialize’, then you have to change
the “PC Interface” terminal of ACU for PC program use rather than GPS
use.

Satellite Information – Satellite information consists of frequency,
symbol and NID(Network ID) of a transponder in tracking satellite.
There are four groups of satellite information. ‘Vertical/RHCP’ is
applied when IRD supply 13V, and ‘Horizontal/LHCP’ is applied
when IRD supply 18V. ‘LOW’ is applied when DiSEqC signal is not
detected from IRD, ‘HIGH’ is applied when DiSEqC signal is
detected from IRD. If you select ‘Not Use’ or ‘Change Satellite’,
two ‘HIGH’ groups are inactivated. If you select Change Band’,
two ‘High’ groups are activated and you can modify satellite
information which is applied when DiSEqC signal is detected from
IRD. After modifying information, press ‘Edit Satellite Information’
button, then new information is updated in the antenna.

Note: * for an explanation of possible cause and their remedies refer to
the following paragraphs
1. Blown fuse, low power or wiring
Check that the in-line quick blow fuse (if fitted) has not blown or the circuit
breaker has not tripped. Replace fuse with one of the same type and rating.
If you have extended the power cable from the antenna unit, check that
there is no power loss. Check the system wiring and connections.
2. Satellite signal blocked
Satellite signals can be blocked or degraded by buildings, other boats or
equipment on your boat. Check to see if the antenna has a clear view of
the sky.
3. Outside satellite coverage zone
Your system will provide excellent reception within the antenna coverage
area for your satellite television service. However, signal quality may
degrade as you approach the edges of this zone.
4. Radar interference
The energy levels radiated by radar units can overload the antenna a
front-end circuits. Make sure that your antenna is installed as described in
page 8; ‘Selection of Installation Site’.
5. Incorrect or loose RF connectors
As part of the regular maintenance recommended by Intellian Technologies,
Inc., all connections should be checked to ensure that they have not
become loose. A loose RF connector can reduce signal quality.
6. Multi-switch interference
If you have multiple satellite receiver (IRD) connected to your system,
make sure that you are using an active not passive multi-switch.
