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 by the radar especially on the same plane as their 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 satisﬁed, ﬁnd the best compromised installation site between the various considerations.

Elevation Limit

of Obstacles

15°

Conﬁgure 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 ﬁve 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 predeﬁned

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 transmit.

Antenna Unit Obstacle

INSTALLING THE ANTENNA

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 humility.

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.

• RF Cable (Customer Furnished)

Due to the voltage losses across the length of the RF coaxes at L-Band, Intellian recommends the following 50 ohm coax cable types for standard system installations.

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. Therefore, Intellian always recommend the user 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 Furnished)

• 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

v60 – Marine Satellite Communication System

Connecting the System without a Ship’s Gyro

For a vessel where the ship’s gyro compass is not installed or is difﬁcult 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 direction until the antenna receives the lock signal from the modem or the DVB 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 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-conﬁgured from the library.

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 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 predeﬁned 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 predeﬁned tracking threshold level. If the detected signal is below the predeﬁned tracking threshold level, the search 1 will repeat and start 3º away from the current position.

and parameters

Tilt Sensor Bias

- 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 and see if the bubble is located at the center of the level vial.

- Ready: Make elevation angle go to 0º for tilt sensor bias adjustment.

Conical Range

- Conical rage: set conical range while the antenna is on tracking mode.

EL Adjust

- EL adjust: The elevation adjustment is to offset the angle difference between the mechanical elevation angle and actual elevation angle.

Diagnosis, Search Parameter & Sensor Adjust

Set the tilt sensors and calibrate rate sensors. Set the antenna search parameters. Run an antenna diagnostic test.

PC CONTROLLER SOFTWARE

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 ﬂat 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.

Idle Mode

- 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.

Diagnosis

- Diagnosis: The system can carry out the selected full diagnostic test “Test All” or single diagnostic test. The software will display the diagnostic results (Blue dot represents “normal”, red represents “abnormal”, yellow represents “skip test” and green represents “the diagnostic test is under process”).
