Introduction
Introduction to Intellian i9P
Intellian i9P is a digital satellite antenna system designed specically 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.
Specically, Intellian i9P 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. While tracking the target satellite, DBT technology uses a high-performance, constantly adjusting sub-reector which allows the antenna to remain relatively still, eliminating the constant whine of stepper motors while staying locked on to the satellites.
The i9P has a built-in GPS system which enhances the speed of satellite signals acquisitions. In addition, the i9P 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.

Features of Intellian i9P
Enjoy satellite broadcasts at sea
Intellian i9P is the most modern antenna system that enables you to receive a high quality broadcasting signal at sea, where the atmospheric and environmental condition can be challenging.
Fully automatic control system
Fully automatic control system allows you to simply turn the power switch on, and have crystal clear, high quality satellite television in motion or at anchor.
Fast and efcient 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.
Outstanding reliability
The Intellian i9P is a highly reliable system through the implementation of a modularized design, and the usage of proven and tested components.
Built-in GPS
The Intellian i9P has an embedded GPS, which allows for the upload of GPS data automatically for an even faster and stable system.

Planning the Installation
Selection of Antenna Installation Site
Install the antenna in accordance with the following procedures to insure maximum performance.
The antenna should be installed in a place where there is all round clear view of the horizon. Please be sure there are no obstacles within 15° above the antenna. Any obstacles can prevent the antenna from tracking the satellite signal (Refer to the drawing on the right).
Do not install the antenna near the radar especially on the same plane. Its energy levels may overload the antenna front-end circuits. It is recommended to position the antenna at least 4 feet (1.2m) above or below the level of the radar and minimum of 15 feet (4.6m) away from the high power short wave radars.
The mounting platform should be rigid and not subjected to excessive vibration. The movement of the antenna can be minimized by installing at the center of the vessel. For optimal performance of the antenna, it is not recommended to install at any corner of the vessel, where the movement of the vessel is the greatest. Install the bottom of the antenna parallel to the surface of the sea and x tightly to the structure of the vessel.

Extending the Cables
The cables that have been supplied with your Intellian system should be of adequate length to complete the installation on most boats.
Power Cable
This cable supplied at a length of 10m.
Note: Exceeding the indicated cable lengths will result in reduced performance of your system.
Cables
Before installing the system cables, consider the following points.
• All cables need to be well clamped and protected from physical damage and exposure to heat and humidity.
• Cables with severe bends are not allowed.
• Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, a watertight grommet or swan neck tube should be used.
Power Requirements
You need to follow the power requirements to avoid damage the system. Intellian i9P has been designed to work on a boat’s power supply rated at 12V / 24 V DC (acceptable range: 9~30 V DC).
If your IRD(s) and television(s) require a 110V/240V AC power supply, you will need to install a suitable DC to AC converter to operate the unit(s) from your boat’s DC power supply.
RF Cable
This cable supplied at a length of 30m. If a longer length is required you should replace this cabel with an extended RF cable.
