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.

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.

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.

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.
