Introduction

Introduction to Raymarine STV33

Raymarine STV33 is a digital satellite antenna system designed speciﬁcally for all types of vessels (Anchored or transit) to automatically identify, track and capture satellite signals from the Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB: the international standard for digital TV transmissions) compatible satellites.

Speciﬁcally, Raymarine STV33 has Wide Range Search (WRS) algorithm, which minimizes the search time during initialization, and Dynamic Beam Tilting (DBT) technology, which dynamically shapes the antenna beam to utilize stabilization. While tracking the target satellite, DBT technology uses a high-performance, constantly adjusting sub-reﬂector which allows the antenna to remain relatively still, eliminating the constant whine of stepper motors while staying locked onto the satellites.

For simplicity and savings, the STV33 brings you hasslefree installation with its single cable design between the antenna and the control unit. For ﬂexibility, there is a second RF connector on the antenna base. In addition, the STV33 has adopted a built-in GPS interface (NMEA 0183,) allowing boaters to plug-in an external GPS to speed up acquisition time.

Features of Raymarine STV33

Enjoy satellite broadcasts at sea

Raymarine STV33 is the most modern antenna system that enables you to receive high quality broadcasting signals at sea where the atmospheric and environmental conditions are very harsh.

Fully automatic control system

The fully automatic control system allows you to simply turn the power switch on, and have crystal clear, high quality satellite television in motion or at anchor.

High quality antenna

High tech parabolic antenna technology has been adopted for this antenna system, which is optimal for marine conditions. This enables you to receive the optimal signal level even when it is raining or snowing.

Fast and ecient search for the satellite

The WRS (Wide Range Search) algorithm allows for the antenna system to search the satellite within the shortest amount of time and to detect the satellite signal under any position and within any directional movement of the ship.

Outstanding reliability

Raymarine STV33 provides a highly reliable system through the implementation of a modularized design and the use of strictly-proven components.

Easy installation

Raymarine STV33 uses only one RF cable for installation. Power, RF, and Data signals transfer from the antenna to the ACU through this single cable.

Compact size

Raymarine STV33’s small and compact size is perfect for small vessels.

Ethernet Port for management

The Ethernet Port on the rear panel of the ACU enables direct and simple network connection between a PC and the ACU. By connecting to ISP or the modem linked with VSAT systems, Raymarine STV33 can be monitored, controlled, and diagnosed remotely from anywhere, anytime through the TCP/IP protocol. This not only can save tremendous time but also save the cost generated from the hundreds of routine maintenance activities such as operating ﬁrmware upgrades, tracking parameters resets, and system diagnostics.

Wireless Connectivity and Aptus mobile

The built-in WiFi enables the ACU to be wirelessly connected. Any kind of wireless devices such as PCs, laptops and smartphones can be used to connect to the ACU and monitor, control and change the settings of the system wirelessly. The Aptus mobile app is available for download to access the ACU via Wi-Fi and operate the antenna from an iPhone, iPad or other network devices. iPhone and iPad are registered trademarks of Apple Inc.

Planning the Installation

Selection of Installation Site

The antenna should be installed in a place where it has an all-round clear view of the horizon. Ensure there are no obstacles within 15 degrees above the antenna. Any obstacles can prevent the antenna from tracking the satellite’s signal (Refer to the drawing on the right).

15°

Do not install the antenna nearby the radar, especially if they’re on the same plane, as their energy levels may overload the antenna’s front-end circuits. It is recommended to position the antenna at least 4 feet (1.2m) above or below the level of the radar and a minimum of 15 feet (4.6m) away from any high power short wave radars.

The mounting platform should be suitably rigid, and not subjected to excessive vibration. The movement of the antenna can be minimized by installing it at the center of the vessel. For optimal performance of the antenna, it is not recommended to install it at any corner of the vessel, where the movement of the vessel is the greatest. Install the bottom of the antenna parallel to the surface of the sea and ﬁx it tightly to the structure of the vessel.

When setting the antenna down, be careful not to damage the RF connector. Striking the connectors on the bottom directly will damage the connector.

Antenna unit Obstacle

Figure 07 : Elevation Limit of Obstacles

Page 15

Cables

Before installing the system’s cables, consider the following points.

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

• A cable with an acute bend is not allowed.

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

Power Requirements

To avoid potential damage to your system, adhere to the following power requirements:

Extending the cables

The cables that have been supplied with your Raymarine system should be of adequate length to complete the installation on most boats.

Power Cable

This cable is supplied at a length of 10m.

RF Cable

This cable is supplied at a length of 15m. If a longer length is required you should replace this cable with an extended RF cable, available separately.

• Raymarine STV33 has been designed to work on a boat’s power supply rated at 12V / 24V DC (acceptable range: 9~30 V DC).

• If your IRD(s) and television(s) require a 110V/240V AC power supply, you will need to install a suitable DC to AC converter to operate the unit(s) from your boat’s DC power supply.

Note: Exceeding the indicated cable lengths will result in

reduced performance of your system.

Installation and Mounting of the Antenna

The method of installation and mounting of the antenna may vary due to vessel design but the following procedures are applicable in most situations, and will result in a secure and eective installation.

Conﬁrmation of Size and Installation of Power Tower

• Conﬁrm the height and diameter of the bottom surface of the antenna before installing it.

• The space must be sucient for installing the antenna unit, considering the height and diameter of the antenna.

• The height and the diameter of the bottom surface of the antenna is shown in the following drawing. If possible, install the antenna using a “power tower”, available separately.

Note: Before installing the antenna, open the radome and

remove the shipping constraints from the antenna interior. Reinstall the radome before operating the system. The system will not perform properly if the radome is open.

Adjusting the LNB Skew Angle

(Linear Polarization Only)

LNB Skew Angle

The LNB skew angle only needs to be adjusted when the target satellite is linear polarized. In order to receive the maximum satellite signal level, the LNB skew angle must be adjusted according to the calculation of current GPS location and target satellite.

It only needs to be adjusted when changing from one satellite to another, or when the vessel has traveled a signiﬁcant geographic distance. It should NOT need to be readjusted if the vessel stays in the same location and is operating on the same satellite.

Skew Angle Adjustment for STV33

Polarization of your Raymarine STV33 antenna must be accomplished manually by the following steps.

• Remove the upper part of the Radome after switching the power OFF.

• Loosen the 3 screws that connect the LNB to the feed horn.

• Turn the LNB to place it to the angle indicated on the back of the feed horn.

• Tighten the 3 screws.
