Installation

EMC installation guidelines

All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry

standards for use in the recreational marine environment.

Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic

Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure

that performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been

taken to ensure that they will perform under all conditions, it is important

to understand what factors could affect the operation of the product.

The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC perfor-

mance, but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these

conditions in all situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC

performance within the constraints imposed by any location, always ensure

the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical

equipment.

For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever possible:

• Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:

• At least 3 ft. (1m) from any other equipment transmitting or
carrying radio signals. In the case of Single Side Band (SSB) radio,
the distance should be increased to 7 ft. (2m).

• More than 7 ft. (2m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam
can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below
the radiating element.

• The equipment is supplied from a separate battery to that used for
engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V, and starter motor transients,
can cause the equipment to reset. This will not damage the equipment,
but may cause the loss of some information and may change the oper­ating mode.

• Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these
cables can compromise EMC performance and must be avoided unless
doing so is detailed in the installation manual.

Suppression Ferrite

If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be
removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during installation it must be
reassembled in the same position. Always use the ferrites supplied by
Raymarine.

Connections to other equipment

If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a
cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be
attached to the cable near to the Raymarine unit.

Clear view of sky

D7949_1

When choosing a location for the antenna, consider the following points:

• Make sure you place it where there is an all round clear view of the
horizon.

• It should not be too high above the water - the maximum recom­mended height is one not exceeding half the length of your boat.

• It should be as near to the centerline of the boat as possible.

• The mounting platform should be rigid and not subject to excessive
vibration.

• It should be away from the edge of the boat - this will avoid unneces­sary motion which can affect reception.

Cables

You need to consider the following points before installing the system
cables:

• All cables need to be adequately clamped and protected from physical
damage and exposure to heat - avoid running cables through bilges,
doorways, or close to moving objects.

• Acute bends must be avoided.

• Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, a
watertight gland or swan neck tube should be used.

Power requirements

You need to consider the following power requirements:

• Your Raymarine Satellite TV system has been designed to work on a
boat’s power supply rated at 12 V DC.

• If your boats power supply is rated at 24 V DC you will need to install a
suitable DC power inverter to reduce the supply voltage to 12 V DC.

• If your IRD(s) and television(s) require a 220/240 V AC power supply,
you will need to install a suitable DC to AC converter to operate the
units from your boat’s DC power supply.

11

Extending the cables

The cables that have been supplied with your Raymarine Satellite TV
system should be of adequate length to complete the installation on most
boats. However, should it be necessary to extend a cable the following
points should be considered:

Power and data cable

This cable is supplied at a length of 15 m.

If a longer length is required you should replace this cable with Raymarine
Part No.E96007 - 30 m Power/Data cable.

Power cable

This cable is supplied at a length of 10 m.

RF cable

This cable is supplied at a length of 15 m.

If a longer length is required you should replace this cable with Part No.
E96008 which will extend the available cable length to 30m. Additional
length can be achieved by joining the supplied RF cable and the extension
together to give a maximum available cable length of 45m.

Note:

The stated cable lengths should not be exceeded as this may result in

reduced performance of your system.

RF1

RF 2RF 1

To connect the antenna

1. Pass the power/data cable through the access hole of the mounting
plate and connect it to the power/data connector on the antenna base
plate.

Note:

It is good practice to coat the threads of all connector s with a small

amount of a suitable waterproof marine sealant prior to securing them.

2. Hand tighten the power/data cable connector. Take care not to over­tighten the nut, as this will damage the connector.

3. Remove the protective cap from the RF 1 connector.

4. Connect the RF cable to the RF 1 connector and secure using a 13 mm
spanner.Take care not to over-tighten the nut, as this will damage the
connector.

Note:

The base plate connectors must be suitably protected from water in-

gress when the antenna unit is installed on an open structure, e.g. a tuna tower.

Twin IRDs

You can connect two IRDs to your antenna as shown in the following
diagram.However, only one of the IRDs can be configured as a two satellite
receiver. The other IRD needs to be configured as a one satellite receiver.

The two satellite receiver determines which satellite is tracked, while the
other receiver can watch any channel which is available from the tracked
satellite.

Multiple IRDs

IMPORTANT: Due to satellite polarization, incorrect connection in

systems using multiple IRDs will result in signal degradation. Make sure
you select the correct method of connection for your area of operation.

North American systems and South America (DirecTV)

In order to connect three or four IRDs to the antenna, you will need to
purchase an active multi-switch with 2 satellite ‘in’ ports (Raymarine
recommends the Channel Master 6314 IFD), and the necessary additional
RF cables.

The multi-switch has to be installed between the antenna unit and the IRDs
as shown in the following diagram.

When you use a multiswitch, the signal from the satellite receiver can no
longer tell the antenna when to automatically change satellites. In order to
change the satellite being tracked, you must use the ACU. For example, in
some areas DirecTV programming is found on DTV101 and DTV119 (local
channels) When tracking DTV101, all of the receivers can receive
programmes from that satellite. If you want to see programmes on
DTV119, you need to manually change the satellite being tracked by
pressing Satellite B on the ACU. This means that all receivers can then
watch the programmes available on DTV119.

To connect three or four IRDs:

1. Connect an RF cable to RF1 and another to RF2 on the antenna base
plate.

2. Connect the RF1 cable to LNB LHCP/+18 V on the multi-switch.

3. Connect the RF2 cable to LNB RHCP/+13 V on the multi-switch.

4. For each output required, connect an RF cable from an OUT connector
of the multi-switch to the LNB or ANT connector of the individual IRD
units.

5. Terminate any unused connections with a suitable 75 Ohm DC termi­nator block.

6. Connect the multi-switch to the appropriate DC power supply.

Europe, Australia, New Zealand, China, Middle East,
South America (Sky)

In order to connect multiple IRDs to the antenna, you will need to purchase
a suitable universal LNB multiswitch. The multiswitch has to be installed
between the antenna unit and the IRDs as shown in the following diagram.

You should connect to either the vertical or horizontal high and low pairs
depending whether you want to watch channels in the high or low bands.
Only those channels in the selected band will be available for viewing.

To connect three or four IRDs:

1. Connect an RF cable to RF1 and another to RF2 on the antenna base
plate.

2. Connect the RF1 cable to either Lo/Ver or Hi/Ver. This will depend on
whether the desired programming is in the vertical or horizontal low
band.

3. Connect the RF2 cable to:

• Lo/Hor if RF1 was connected to Lo/Ver.

• Hi/Hor if RF1 was connected to Hi/Ver.

4. For each output required, connect an RF cable from an OUT connector
of the signal splitter to the LNB or ANT connector of the individual IRD
units.

5. Terminate any unused connections with a suitable 75 Ohm DC termi­nator block.

The two satellite receiver determines which satellite is tracked, while the
other receiver can watch any channel which is available from the tracked
satellite.

As in the single IRD option the RF cables from the antenna base plate
should be connected to ‘LNB’, ‘ANT’, or ‘Satellite In’ on the rear panel of
the IRD.

Full details on configuring your system IRDs will be found in the relevant
Manufacturer’s handbook.

Multiple IRDs

In European systems fitted with a 4 RF connector baseplate there are two
options for connecting multiple IRDs.

Systems using up to 4 IRDs

In European systems all four RF outputs from the antenna can be
connected to individual IRDs.

As in the single IRD option the RF cables from the antenna base plate
should be connected to ‘LNB’, ‘ANT’, or ‘Satellite In’ on the rear panel of
the IRD.

Maintenance and troubleshooting

Introduction

This section deals with maintenance and troubleshooting that can be
carried out by the system user.

Maintenance

WARNING

Power supply

Ensure that the system is isolated from your boat’s power
supply before carrying out any maintenance.

Your Raymarine Satellite TV system has been designed to require minimal
maintenance. The following routine maintenance checks will ensure that
your system maintains peak performance:

• Examine the cables for signs of damage, such as chafing, cuts or nicks.

• Check that all cables are firmly attached.

• Wash the exterior of the antenna cover with fresh water to remove salt
deposits; a mild detergent may be added to remove grime. DO NOT use
abrasive cleaners or solvents such as acetone as this may result in
irreparable damage to the unit.

• The antenna is not a sealed unit, DO NOT use a power spray to wash
the exterior as this may result in water ingress and damage to the unit.

• Twice a year remove the antenna cover and examine the interior for
signs of corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Your Raymarine product has been subjected to comprehensive test and
quality assurance programs prior to packing and shipping. However, if your
unit should develop a fault, please refer to the following table to identify
the most likely cause and the corrective action required to restore normal
operation.

If you still have a problem after referring to the table, contact your local
Raymarine dealer, national distributor or Raymarine Product Support for
further advice.

46 Raymarine Satellite TV Systems

1. Blown fuse, low power or wiring

• Check that the in-line quick blow fuse (if fitted) has not blown, or the
circuit breaker has not tripped. Replace fuse with one of the same type
and rating.

• If you have extended the power cable from the antenna unit, check
that there is no power loss.

• Check the system wiring and connections.

2. Satellite signal blocked

Satellite signals can be blocked or degraded by buildings, other boats, or
equipment on your boat. Check that the antenna has a clear view of the
sky.

3. Outside satellite coverage zone

Your system will provide excellent reception within the antenna coverage
area for your satellite television service. However, signal quality may
degrade as you approach the edges of this zone. Refer to “Satellite
coverage areas” on page 49 to check the viable coverage area for your
antenna.

4. Radar interference

The energy levels radiated by radar units can overload the antenna front­end circuits. Make sure that your antenna is installed as described in “How
do I plan the installation?...” on page 10 of this handbook with regards to
your radar unit.

5. Incorrect or loose RF or power/data connectors

As part of the regular maintenance recommended by Raymarine, all
connections should be checked to ensure that they have not become loose.
A loose RF or power/data connector can reduce signal quality or cause the
antenna not to work.

5. Multi-switch interference

If you have multiple IRD’s connected to your system, make sure that you
are using an ACTIVE not PASSIVE multi-switch.

7. IRD troubleshooting

Your IRD may be the cause of less than ideal operation.

1. Check the IRDs configuration to ensure that it is programmed for the
area in which you are operating.

2. Unplug the IRD from the power supply for 15 seconds. Reconnect and
allow the system to initialize.

8. LNB fault

If you have an LNB fault, it may require replacing. Contact your local
dealer, national distributor or Raymarine Product Support for further
assistance.

Satellite information

Introduction

This section contains information on satellites in your region and includes:

• Satellite coverage areas.

• Satellite coverage by geographic location.

• Satellite tracking information

Satellite coverage areas

The following satellite coverage maps do not guarantee coverage. This can
be affected by climatic conditions that may cause variation in the satellite
signal.

Climatic conditions

Atmospheric conditions that may cause a significant loss of signal level
include:

•Rain

•Snow

•Heavy fog

• Solar activity, e.g. sun spot and flare activity.
By far the most common of these conditions is rain. Rain drops in the atmo­sphere will reduce the signal from the satellite, the heavier the rain the

higher the signal loss. The effect of this signal loss is that the antenna’s
ability to remain locked to the satellite signal becomes severely affected. This
in turn means degradation or in some cases a complete loss of satellite
signal. When the amount of rain contained in the atmosphere decreases the
antenna will re-acquire the satellite signal.
