INTRODUCTION
Introduction to Intellian i9/i9P
Intellian i9/i9P (Intellian i9 or Intellian i9 Premium)
Intellian i9/i9P 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 i9/i9P has Wide Range Search (WRS) algorithm,
which minimizes the search time at initial state 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 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.
GPS is built into the Intellian i9/i9P. The Intellian i9P also has a built-in
function of automatic adjustment of skew angle of LNB. With the two
added built-in features the Intellian i9/i9P enables for faster and more
efficient tracking of satellites. With the premium series it is not required to
put additional GPS information and to change skew angles when traveling
away from the original optimized GPS data and skew angle.

Planning the installation
Selection of Installation Site
Install the antenna in accordance with the following procedure to secure the
maximum functionality of the antenna.
The ideal antenna site has a
clear view of the horizon/
satellite all around. Please be
sure to see if there are any
obstacles 15 degrees above
elevation blocking the antenna.
Any obstacles located above 15
degree elevation can prevent
the antenna from tracking satellite signal (Refer to the drawing).
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 cannot flex when the
vessel vibrates. If necessary, add a strength member to the mounting site to
stiffen 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 corners 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 the antenna is to be laid down, be careful not to have the power
connector and/or RF connector damaged by striking directly against the
bottom, which causes connection to be impossible.

Target Satellite Setting
You can select the target satellite to receive satellite signal. If the target
satellite is not on the list you have to register the target satellite.
GPS Setting
You can input the GPS information through the ACU or the PC Program. To
setting the GPS information, the antenna system has to be in ‘SET UP mode’.
For detailed instructions, please refer to page 37; ‘Setting the GPS’, and page
58; ‘Set Antenna GPS and find Antenna Angle’.
Satellite registration
You can register the target satellite through the ACU or the PC Program. To
register the target satellite, the antenna system has to be in ‘ SET UP mode’
and the required information are, Satellite name, Satellite Longitude, Method
of Satellite identification, Frequency of each of the Band, Symbol Rate,
Network ID, Power Change method. For detailed instructions, please refer to
page 30; ‘Edit Satellite Information’, page 52;‘ Set Satellite Information’, and
page 59; ‘Set Tracking Information of Satellite’.
Satellite Pair Selection
You can select the Satellite pair from the list through the ACU or the program.
You can easily select the target satellite from the satellite pair. For detailed
instructions please refer to page 28; ‘Setting the Satellite pair’, page 52; ‘Set
Satellite Information’.
Target Satellite Selection
Choose the target satellite from the Satellite Pair. When selecting through
the ACU, you have to press the left button to select the target satellite while
the antenna system is in either ‘Searching Mode’ or ‘Tracking Mode’. When
using the PC program you can select either satellite ‘A’ or satellite ‘B’ from
‘Tracking Satellite’ at anytime.
Installation 19
Adjusting the LNB Skew Angle (Linear polarization only)
Skew Angle Setting
The LNB feed horn skew angle has to be fixed at a specific position to receive
the maximized the satellite signal level. The skew angle is calculated with the
GPS data of the territory when registering the Satellite Pair. According to the
shift in longitude and latitude data the skew angle will adjust to the optimal
angle accordingly. When there is an error between the calculated skew angle
and the actual skew angle you can manually adjust the skew angle.
Adjustment of LNB Skew Angle
When you press the middle button of the ACU while the antenna system is in
‘Searching Mode’ or ‘Tracking Mode’, the elevation angle or the signal
strength will be shown. If you press the middle button one more time, the
current skew angle will appear. From this position when you press the right or
left button of the ACU, the LNB skew angle will move in CW or CCW direction
in one degree increments. Also, you can move the LNB skew angle in CW or
CCW direction by one degree increments from the ‘Set LNB Skew’ menu
when the antenna is in ‘SET UP Mode’. Refer page 61; ‘Selection of LNB
Skew Angle’. If you don’t know the exact LNB skew angle, adjust the angle by
finding position where the satellite signal strength is at the maximum level.
When the LNB skew angle is adjusted manually, the antenna system stores
this information until you reset the satellite pair information. When selecting
the target satellite, the skew motor automatically sets the optimal skew angle
for the antenna system to track the target satellite.
In case of LNB turning mechanism available
The skew drive mechanism is consisted of the rotational feed horn, skew
motor and LNB. Skew angle may be adjusted manually to the target angle
through ACU and GUI Program. The current skew angle will be indicated
through the ACU and GUI program.
Intellian i9/i9P with GPS sensor is built in, manual adjustment of skew angle
by user is not required. The skew angle is continuously adjusted
automatically through the calculation of the optimum skew angle by using the
information of the targeted satellite and the output value from the GPS sensor.
Together with such location information of the ship as ship’s longitudinal and
latitudinal position change from movement the skew angle will be adjusted
accordingly. The skew angle of LNB is shown by ACU and GUI Program.

Introduction
GUI Software of Intellian i9/i9P 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.

antenna.
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.
Pol & Band Control – The power controls 13V, Vertical (RHCP) and 18V,
Horizontal (LHCP) bands. The Band controls High and Low bands.

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.

7. Satellite receiver (IRD) troubleshooting
Your satellite receiver (IRD) may be the cause of less than ideal
operation.
1) Check the satellite receiver’s (IRD’s) configuration to ensure that it is
programmed for the area in which you are operation.
2) Unplug the satellite receiver (IRD) from the power supply for 1
second. Reconnect and allow the system to initialize.
8. LNB fault
If you have an LNB fault, it may require replacing. Contact your local
dealer, national distributor or Intellian Technologies, Inc. product
support for further assistance.
