Introduction to Intellian v240C
The Intellian v240C is a 2.4 meter C-band marine VSAT communication antenna
system. With its 3-axis stabilized platform and enhanced vibration and shock
damping design, the v240C can perform extremely well on all types of ships that
require “always on” and “high speed” broadband communications no matter how
rough the weather and sea conditions are.
The v240C requires minimal involvement to commission . It is easy to operate and
also simple to upgrade and manage. Each unit comes preloaded with a readyto-use, client-customized library that can be conveniently tailored further via PC
software (also included with the unit), and rmware updates can be done entirely
through the Wi-Fi ACU. Wi-Fi router enables easy connection and control of ACU,
allowing operators to check the status of the VSAT.
The all new Antenna Control Unit (ACU) supports Wi-Fi connectivity for a simple
remote PC connection. If the ACU is installed at a great distance from the antenna,
then the built-in Bluetooth connection module can enable a PC connection right
alongside the dome.
Robust and versatile, the v240C marks an new era for VSAT connectivity on the
open water for deep sea vessels that require global coverage.

The ACU of the Intellian v240C offers upgraded functions. The built-in Wi-Fi
wireless network card enables the ACU to be wirelessly connected, and it can be
either turned on and off by a switch. After connecting with Wi-Fi wireless network
or setting up a network with ACU, it will be easy to monitor, control, and change the
settings of Intellian antenna system wirelessly using laptops, smartphones, or any
kind of wireless devices.
Antenna log data and rmware upgrade through USB
The ACU of v240C now automatically stores all action data of Intellian antennas
onto a built-in memory, and all existing logs are available to be transferred onto
USB drivers. Also just by plugging in the USB with rmware update les stored, the
rmware can be automatically updated and upgraded onto the ACU.
Bluetooth module support
When the Intellian supplied Bluetooth module is equipped on a main control unit of
Intellian antenna, users can access and control the antenna with a laptop that has
Bluetooth capability. This will lead to easier and more effective ways to setup and
maintain the system.
Maximized RF performance
The main reector, Feed-horn and other RF parts are newly designed to maximize
the antenna performance for maritime application. Not only the gain and Maximum
Allowed EIRP Density are the highest level amongst the similar-sized VSAT antenna,
Intellian v240C conforms to various ESV (Earth-Station-on Vessels) standards and
FCC requirements.

Connecting the System with a Ship’s Gyrocompass
For satellite tracking, you must connect a ship’s Gyro to the antenna system through
the gyro interface on the rear of the ACU. Intellian’s ACU supports NMEA 0183 and
NMEA 2000 gyro types. If the ship’s gyrocompass output uses something different
than a NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000, a 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.
• NMEA 2000 heading PGN Number = 127250 (Vessel Heading)
Strip the cable for 5 mm (0.2")
Do not solder the cable

INSTALLING THE ACU
Connecting the System without a Ship’s Gyrocompass
For a vessel where the ship’s gyrocompass is not installed or is difcult to connect,
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 a CCW(Counter Clockwise) direction until the antenna receives a
lock signal from the Modem or until 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 having 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
a CCW direction and lock onto the satellite signal until the antenna receives a
lock signal from the Modem or until the DVB transponder of the target satellite is
decoded.
• Set the heading device as NMEA
- Enter the “Manual search” menu and press the “Function” key to save the current
settings. Intellian's ACU will automatically calculate and save the BOW offset.
- Upload the real TARGET satellite pre-congured from the library.

REMARKS:
A search pattern 1 or 3 will be initiated according to which GYRO TYPE is selected
and the existence of the gyro input.
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 of 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 predened detect level, the ACU will enter to Search 3. However, if the
desired signal is above the predened tracking threshold level, the antenna will
not initiate a Search 3 pattern but will go into TRACKING menu immediately. If the
detected signal is below the predened tracking threshold level, the search 1 will
repeat and start 3º away from the current position.

above the predened tracking level, the ACU will terminate Search 3 and go into
TRACKING Menu. A search pattern will automatically be initiated when AGC / SIG
falls below the current threshold setting (this indicates that satellite signal has been
lost). The search patterns are conducted in a two-axis pattern consisting of alternate
movements in azimuth (AZ) and elevation (EL) (like its forming an expanding square
