INTRODUCTION
System Package
The Intellian t110/t130 consists of two major units, an antenna assembly unit and
an antenna control unit.
Antenna Unit
The antenna unit includes an antenna pedestal inside a radome assembly unit.
The pedestal consists of the satellite antenna's main dish and sub-reector module with a LNB mounted on a stabilized pedestal. The radome protects the antenna pedestal assembly unit from severe marine environments.

Antenna Control Unit (ACU)
The Antenna Control Unit (ACU) provides power to the antenna and controls
various settings of the antenna. Additionally, VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent
Display) allows for you to operate the ACU in the dark.
Figure 3. Antenna Control Unit
The functions of the ACU are as follows :
• System startup
• Change of target satellite
• Monitoring current status
• Setting antenna manual search
• Setting antenna set skew
• Setting antenna go position
• Setting antenna search parameter
• Setting antenna set parameters

INSTALLING THE ANTENNA
Planning the Installation
Selection of Antenna Installation Site
Install the antenna in accordance with the following procedures to ensure maximum
performance of the antenna. The ideal antenna site should have a clear view of
the horizon or satellite all around it. Please be sure there are no obstacles within
15º above the center of the antenna. Any obstacles can prevent the antenna from
transmitting and receiving the satellite signal.
Do not install the antenna near the radar especially on the same plane as its energy
levels may overload the antenna's front-end circuits. It is recommended to position
the antenna at least 4 feet (1.2 m) above or below the level of the radar and a
minimum of 15 feet (4.6 m) away from any high power short wave radars.
The mounting platform should be rigid enough and not subjected to excessive
vibration. The movement of the antenna can be minimized by installing at the center
of the vessel. If these conditions can be only partially satised, choose the best
installation site between various considerations that can satisfy the mentioned
conditions.

System Cables
Before installing the system cables, you need to take the following points into
consideration.
• All cables need to be well clamped and protected from physical damage and
exposure to heat and humidity.
• A cable with an acute bend is not allowed.
• Wherever a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deck head, a
watertight gland or swan neck tube should be used.
RF Cables (Customer Supplied)
Due to voltage losses that occur across the length of the RF coax on L-Band,
Intellian recommends the following 75 ohm coax cable types for standard system
installations. For cables that run longer than 100 meters, please consult Intellian
Technologies.
Run Length Coaxial Cable Type
Up to 35 meters RG-6 or LMR-300-75
Up to 60 meters RG-11 or LMR-400-75
Up to 100 meters LMR-600-75

Power Requirements
Intellian t110/t130 has been designed to work on a vessel’s power supply rated at
110-220 V AC.

Antenna Installation
Unpacking the Wooden Crate of t110/t130
The antenna pedestal is shipped completely assembled in its radome. Remove the
four shipping bolts which mount the antenna to the pallet. The pallet should be
lifted by means of a suitable sized lifting equipment.

Antenna Dimensions
The method of installation and mounting of the antenna may vary with vessel
design but the following procedures are applicable in most situations, and will
result in a secure and effective installation. Conrm the height and diameter of the
antenna before installing it.

Mounting the Radome
Bolt the Radome base directly to the support pedestal. Makesure to use the
Intellian supplied bolts from the accessory box when you mount the radome.

INSTALLING THE ANTENNA
Remove Antenna Shipping Restraints
Open the radome's hatch and remove the shipping restraints from the pedestal.
Using your hand, gently check that the antenna moves freely in azimuth, elevation,
and cross level without hitting any areas of the interior of the radome.
Figure 17. Open the Radome Hatch
Figure 18. Remove Shipping Restraints (Ratchet strap, 2 Brackets that x the Azimuth Axis.)
Warning: : Please ensure that your Intellian system is ALWAYS powered ON upon
leaving the dock. Failure to follow these instructions could result in damaging
mechanical parts in the antenna and/or possibly void your warranty. Intellian strongly
recommends to restrain the antenna pedestal properly while underway when power
is removed from the antenna. The normal operating condition for the t110/t130 is to
remain powered up at all times.
23
t110/t130 – Marine Satellite Television System
Installing the System Cables
The coax cables must be inserted through the cable strain relief(s) at the base of
the radome. The cables must be routed from the antenna through the deck and
through various ship spaces to the antenna control unit. When pulling the cables
in place, avoid sharp bends, kinking, and the use of excessive force. After placement, seal the deck penetration glad and tie the cables securely in place.

INSTALLING THE ANTENNA
RF Cable Connections
Before installing the RF cable, ensure that the RF cable labeled with RF1 has to be
connected properly between the antenna control unit and the power switch box.
Connect the four RF cables to the RF connectors using an 11mm spanner. Ensure
that the power switch is off during the installation period. When all the hardware
and cables have been installed, turn on the power switch. Use an RG11 rubber
gland if you’re using an RF11 cable instead of an RG6 cable supplied by Intellian.
