INSTALLING THE ANTENNA

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 the radar especially on the same plane as its 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.

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 transmission.
19

v130 – Marine Satellite Communication System

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 humidity.
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 coax on L-Band, Intellian
recommends the following 50 ohm coax cable types for standard system
installations. For cables that run longer than 150 meters, please consult Intellian

v130 – Marine Satellite Communication System

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. Intellian always
recommend 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 Supplied)
• 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.

Ship’s Gyro Connection

Strip the cable for 5 mm (0.2")
Do not solder the cable

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.

36

INSTALLING THE ACU

Connecting the System without a Ship’s Gyro
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: The antenna will search for the target satellite by turning its azimuth
angle in CCW (Counter Clockwise) direction until the antenna receives
the lock signal from the modem or the DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting)
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.

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.

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.
