t80W – Marine Satellite TV Antenna System

Intellian t80W Introduction
The Intellian t80W antenna locks onto satellites quickly and provides seamless
operation in all regions, offering global coverage. The antenna delivers this
performance utilizing a fully stabilized 3-axis platform, as well as a fourth axis for
LNB auto-skew control. In addition, built-in as standard, the internal GPS combined
with Intellian's patented Wide Range Search (WRS®) provides the fastest satellite
acquisition possible. Multiple HD receivers can be connected to the system as
standard, providing a truly hands off global coverage for all regions visited.
The Intellian t80W incorporates the patented WorldView™ LNB (Low Noise BlockDown Converter), which automatically switches frequency depending on the region
the antenna is operating in; all of the switching information is contained in the
Antenna Control Unit (ACU). As the satellite TV provider is selected electronically,
there is no requirement to purchase multiple LNB modules, reconfigure complex
systems and manually change the LNB unit inside the antenna dome each time the
vessel crosses into a different satellite service region.
The t80W antenna has a broad elevation range, from -15° to +110°, enabling
operation in all conditions and the cross level axis ensures uninterrupted viewing
even when the antenna is operating near the equator. The t80W dome is designed to
match the v80G VSAT antenna, providing customers with a compact dual antenna
solution for communications and entertainment.
All Intellian antenna systems are designed, manufactured and tested to withstand
the company's industry-leading standards for vibration and extreme shock in all sea
states and weather conditions.

INTRODUCTION

Intellian t80W Features
Global Satellite Services Compatibility
Intellian t80W provides boaters with seamless and uninterrupted satellite TV service
across multiple coverage areas and service providers offering cost-effective solutions
and straightforward, simple operation from the Americas (circular polarized), as well
as Europe, the Middle East and the Asia Pacific region (linear polarized) with one
LNB module.
Hands-Free WorldViewTM LNB Module
The WorldViewTM LNB module is built with precise pioneering technology of ±25
kHz (±2.5ppm) stability and is designed to receive multi-band and multi-polarization
satellite TV services around the globe. Therefore, boaters are no longer required to
manually switch out the LNB inside the antenna dome or re-wire the system when
the vessel travels from region to region.
DVB-S2 Digital TV Receptions
Some of the HD TV services have moved to DVB-S2 transmission formats and there
will be more in the future. Thanks to Intellian's groundbreaking DVB-S2 digital TV
technology, now boaters are able to enjoy their favorite Sat TV entertainment at sea,
just like home.
Wide Elevation Range
The wide elevation range from -15° to 110° enables the t80W to have seamless
signal reception while the vessel is traveling near the Equator or Polar Regions.
Global Satellite Library
The t80W includes the pre-programmed global satellite library which allows the
boaters to select the desired satellite while travelling from region to region. Once
the satellite is selected the WorldViewTM LNB module will automatically switch to the
corresponding local frequency to receive the signal.
Dedicated Management Ethernet Port
The Management Ethernet Port on the front of the ACU enables direct and simple
network connection between a PC and the ACU. The management Port supports
DHCP network connection by default, allowing automatic IP configurations and
quick access to Intellian's remote management solution, the Aptus Web software.
Wireless Connectivity and Intellian App
The built-in Wi-Fi enables the ACU to be wirelessly connected and can be turned
on or off. 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. An Intellian App is available for download to access to the ACU
via Wi-Fi and operate the antenna from iPhone, iPad or other network devices.
iPhone and iPad are registered trademarks of Apple Inc.
Intellian Network Devices
Intellian Aptus Web enables connection to the t80W to monitor the real time status
of the connected system. This function provides users with direct connection to
sibling devices allowing an integrated control solution for linking multiple devices.

t80W – Marine Satellite TV Antenna System

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 antenna should be installed in a place where there is all round clear view of
the horizon. Please be sure there are no obstacles within 15 degrees above the
antenna. Any obstacles can prevent the antenna from tracking the satellite signal
(Refer to the drawing).
Do not install the antenna near by the radar especially on the same plane as the
microwave radar transmissions as these will overload the antenna 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 minimum of 15 feet (4.6m) away from any high power short
wave radars.
The mounting platform should be robust enough and not subject to excessive
vibration. The movement of the antenna can be minimized by installing at the center
of the vessel. For optimal performance of the antenna, it is not recommended to
install on 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 tightly to
the structure of the vessel.

INSTALLING THE ACU

Connecting the System without a Ship’s Gyrocompass
For a vessel where the ship’s gyrocompass 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: This mode is entered from Search 1 or Search 3. The antenna will search
for the target satellite by turning its azimuth angle in CW(Clockwise) and
CCW(Counter Clockwise) direction in a turn rotation until the antenna
receives the lock signal from the receiver or the DVB(Digital Video
Broadcasting) transponder of the target satellite is decoded by the
antenna.
Search 2: The antenna will search for the target satellite by turning in a two-axis
pattern consisting of alternate movements in azimuth (AZ) and elevation,
until the antenna receives the lock signal from the receiver 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.

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 0°at the calculated elevation and search in the azimuth CW and CCW direction
in a turn rotation and search up + 0.5° & down -0.5° with a total 6 (±3°) in elevation. The
search cycle will repeat until the antenna receives the lock signal from the receiver 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 3°
away from the current position.

center ring of the button level.

Aptus®

· Step 4. Press the “Restart” icon to restart the antenna.

- Rate Sensor: is used to calibrate the DC voltage output from the three rate sensors (azimuth, elevation, and cross-level). These are used to sense antenna motion
that corresponds to the ship’s motion (roll, pitch, and yaw) for stabilizing the pedestal. The DC voltage output from each of the rate sensors may vary by an amount
which is directly proportional to the direction and rate of motion induced on it.
Before calibrating the rate sensors located in the Sensor box, make sure that the
antenna is placed on a rigid and flat platform. During the calibration process, any
motion of the antenna should be avoided as it can affect the antenna’s performance. Proceed with the following steps to perform the calibration.

· Step 1. Enter Setup mode

· Step 2. Press the “Idle Mode” button to release the elevation and
cross level motor brakes while the antenna is in Setup mode.

· Step 3. Check whether or not the bubble is located at the center
of the button level. If not, move it to the center by following the
previous instruction of Tilt Sensor Bias adjustment.

· Step 4. Press the “Bias Check” button to calibrate the rate sensor.
A blue circle will be displayed next to the Bias Check button if the
calibration is completed. A red circle will be displayed if calibration
failed. A green circle will be displayed during the calibration
process.

- Parameter Setting: used to set the control parameter settings.

· Scan Offset: The scan offset is to offset the angle difference
between the black marker on the sub-reflector and the optical
sensor

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

t80W – Marine Satellite TV Antenna System

· Type 1, Type 2 & Type 3 (Search 1, 2 & 3) Range: set Search 1, 2 & 3
search range. Search 2 and Search 3 are conducted in a two-axis
pattern consisting of alternate movements in azimuth and elevation as it
forms an expanding square.

- Threshold Settings

· Initial Sat Count: Set the threshold count for maintaining tracking.

· WRS Detect Level: Set the WRS detection level.

· Voltage Threshold: Set the voltage threshold. The voltage threshold is to
distinguish the voltage between 13V and 18V.
