INSTALLING THE ANTENNA

Planning the Installation

Selection of Antenna 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 or satellite all around. 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 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 minimum of 15 feet (4.6 m) away from the 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 satised, nd the best compromised installation site between the various considerations.

Elevation Limit

of Obstacles

15°

Congure Radiation Hazard/Blockage Zones

It is important to setup the radiation hazard or blockage zones for Intellian VSAT communication systems. The ACU can be programmed with relative azimuth and elevation sectors to create up to ve zones where transmit power would endanger personnel who are frequently in that area or blockage exists. Several things happen when the antenna is within one of these zones.

1. “BLOCK” will be displayed on the ACU screen.

2. Tracking continues as long as the signal level is greater than the predened

threshold value. When the signal level drops below the threshold value the antenna will wait “Search Wait Time” parameter amount of time and re-target the satellite you targeted last. The antenna will continue to re-target the satellite until the satellite is re-acquired and tracking can be resumed.

3. A transmit inhibit output from the ACU will disable/mute the modem transmission.

Antenna Unit Obstacle

v130 – Marine Satellite Communication System

System Cables

Before installing the system cables, you need to take the following points into consideration.

1. All cables need to be well clamped and protected from physical damage and exposure to heat and humidity.

2. Cable with an acute bend is not allowed.

3. Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deck head, a watertight

gland or swan neck tube should be used.

Ship Gyro Connection

Connecting the System with a Ship’s Gyro

The ship’s gyrocompass provides true heading input to the antenna which easily allows the antenna to target and acquire the desired satellite. Intellian always recommend to connect a ship’s gyro to the antenna through the gyro interface on the ACU. If the ship’s gyrocompass output is other than NMEA 0183 and Synchro separate purchase of a gyro converter is required.

• NMEA 0183 Gyro Compass Interface Cable (Customer Supplied)

• Type: 2 conductors for NMEA 0183

• NMEA heading sentence: xx HDT (4800 Baud, 8, N,1) If there is no HDT sentence then use HDM sentence instead.

WARNING: Determine the type of gyrocompass OUTPUT on the ship, assure that the

GYRO TYPE parameter is set correctly (refer to the operation section of this menu). Heading in most cases will be 000.0 and you will have to enter the initial value of ships current value whenever you turn on the ACU. The ship’s heading is not required to input when your system is connected to NMEA or 1:1 synchro gyrocompass output.

Ship’s Gyro Connection

Strip the cable for 5 mm (0.2") Do not solder the cable

INSTALLING THE ACU

Connecting the System without a Ship’s Gyro

For a vessel where the ship’s gyrocompass is not installed or is difcult to be connected, the Intellian Gyro-Free satellite search function will be automatically enabled to allow the antenna to lock onto the desired satellite without requiring an external heading input.

The table below provides an example of the gyro-free satellite search algorithm. The Search 1 or Search 3 satellite search pattern will be triggered according to the existence of heading input and the setting of the heading device.

Search 1: The antenna will search for the target satellite by turning its azimuth

angle in CCW (Counter Clockwise) direction until the antenna receives the lock signal from the modem or the DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) transponder of the target satellite is decoded by the antenna.

Search 3: The antenna will search for the target satellite by turning its azimuth angle

directly to the position calculated using the ship’s heading input and lock onto the satellite.

Quick Setup Procedure

• Set the satellite with DVB transponder as the target satellite.

• Set “No Device” to the heading device.

• The antenna will search for the target satellite by turning its azimuth angle in CCW direction and lock onto the satellite signal until the antenna receives a lock signal from the modem or the DVB transponder of the target satellite is decoded.

• Set the heading device as NMEA/Synchro

• Enter “Manual search” menu and press “Function” key to save the current settings.

Intellian ACU will automatically calculate and save the Bow offset.

• Upload the real TARGET satellite pre-congured from the library.

Search 1: A search pattern 1 will automatically be initiated when the ship’s heading input does not exist/is failed. The antenna will go to the relative azimuth position 0º at the calculated elevation and search in the azimuth CCW direction and search up +0.5º & down -0.5º with a total 6º(±3º) in elevation. The search cycle will repeat until the antenna receives the lock signal from the modem or the DVB transponder of the target satellite is decoded by the antenna. If the desired signal is found and above the predened detect level, the ACU will enter to Search 3. However, the antenna will not initiate Search 3 pattern but go into TRACKING mode immediately if the desired signal is above the predened tracking threshold level. If the detected signal is below the predened tracking threshold level, the search 1 will repeat and start 3º away from the current position.

v130 – Marine Satellite Communication System

Rate Sensor

- Rate sensor: Rate sensor is to calibrate DC voltage output from the three rate sensors used to sense antenna motion in azimuth, elevation and cross-level axes. The DC voltage output from each of the rate sensors may be vary by an amount which is directly proportional to the direction and rate of motion induced on it.. Before calibrating the rate sensors located at the Sensor box, make sure that the antenna is placed on a rigid and at platform. During the calibration process, the antenna should avoid any motion as it can affect the antenna’s performance. After clicking the “Rate Sensor Bias Check” button, the green dot will be displayed as a ready signal to calibrate the gyro sensor. The red dot (fail) or blue dot (pass) will be displayed once the calibration is completed.

Parameter Setting

Set antenna search & tracking parameters. These parameters should only be changed by an authorized service technician. Improper setting of these parameters will render your system inoperable.

Search & Tracking Parameter Setting

DVB Detect and Tracking Level Threshold: display/set current detect level threshold and tracking level threshold when DVB tracking mode is chosen to be used.

- NBD Detect and Tracking Level Threshold: display/set current detect level threshold and tracking level threshold when NBD tracking mode is chosen to be used.

- Enable Threshold: display/set TX enable threshold.

- Wait time: set the time-out for automatic initiation of a search after the signal level drops below the pre-dened threshold value.

- Search Step: set increment step size.

- Search 1 & 3 Range: set Search 1 & 3 search range. Search is conducted in a two-axis pattern consisting of alternate movements in azimuth and elevation as forming expanding square.

- Search 2 Range: is reserved for future use.

Tilt Sensor Bias

Adjust the two solid-state tilt sensors used to provide absolute cross-level tilt of the antenna and elevation feedback to eliminate long-term pointing drift (error). Tilt bias is required to be adjusted when the antenna control board or sensor box is replaced. Check to see whether or not the bubble is located at the center of the level vial.

Elevation Adjust

Adjust the angle difference between the mechanical elevation angle and actual elevation angle.

Conical Range Set conical range while the antenna is on tracking mode.

Rate Sensor Adjust

Calibrate DC voltage output from the three rate sensors used to sense antenna motion in azimuth, elevation and cross-level axes. During the calibration process, the antenna should avoid any motion as it can affect the antenna’s performance.

Idle Mode

Release the elevation and cross level motor brakes while the antenna is in SETUP mode. The antenna can be moved manually during the idle mode.

Reboot Reboot the system.

No. Item Description

Modem Setting Set the modem interface.

Modem

- Modem Type: is to select a proper data communication port and protocol on the ACU to interface with the satellite modem. The settings related to the modem interface will be set automatically once the modem type is selected (USER SETTING, IDIRECT-I/O, IDREICT-AMIP, COMTECH-I/O, COMTECHROSS, SATLINK). However, it is required to set Item “Interface” separately if USER SETTING is selected.

- Use Mediator: enable the usage of Mediator if the antenna is connected to the Intellian Dual VSAT Mediator. Use Mediator must be set to “NO” if there is no MEDIATOR connected to the ACU. Improper setting of this parameter will cause your ACU’s modem interface working incorrectly.

Interface

- Modem Port: is to select a proper data communication port on the ACU to interface with the satellite modem (RS232/422/ Ethernet).

- Modem Protocol: is to select a proper communication protocol on the ACU to interface with the modem (I/O Console, OpenAMIP, Serial GPS, ROSS)

- GPS Out Sentence: is to select the GPS out sentence type (GPGLL/GPGGA/SIMPLE GPGGA)

- USE Modem Lock: is to select whether or not to use external lock signal from the satellite modem.

- USE TX Mute: is to select whether or not to use TX mute function from the satellite modem.

WARNING: Ensure the Edit Enable check box is enabled before modifying the settings.

REMOTE WEB ACCESS

- TX Mute: is a transmit inhibit output from the ACU to disable/ mute the modem transmit through a 5V (High) or 0V(LOW) current whenever the antenna is blocked, searching, or is mispointed 0.5° from peak satellite position.

- Modem Lock: is the modem lock output from the modem provides a logic input through a 5V (High) or 0V(LOW) current to the ACU to identify when it is on the correct satellite.

Note: TX Mute and Modem Lock items will only be activated

when the modem protocol is set as I/O Console.
