1 The digital satellite tracking system
The advanced technology in the satellite tracking system EPAK-TV makes it possible to have an
excellent television reception wherever you are Due to an unlimited 360° high-speed tracking, a non-
stop access to your favorite channels is guaranteed even during your trip on a vessel in open seas
The satellite tracking system is protected by a UV-stabilized and maritime climate proof radome, easy
to handle and maintain (Please note that the given warranty for the radome is limited to the terms of
the radome manufacturers Please see details on www epak de/download/radome_warranty pdf) High-
speed tracking sensors developed for this system, using high-tech components of the electronic signal
processing, provide the topmost and dynamic tracking accuracy of the satellite tracking system With
the help of this technology, EPAK-TV guarantees an unmatched tracking rate, dynamic and system
performance EPAK-TV is suitable for any size vessel including smaller boats of less than 36ft (11m)
The automatic satellite tracking system includes a reflector antenna dish of 18" (45cm), 24" (60cm) or
35" (90cm) in diameter that is capable of tracking horizontally and vertically to make an amazing
choice of channels available – just like home
Once the connection to a satellite is established, the tracking system will stay connected to the correct
satellite even in the roughest sea conditions
TV90 TV61
Notice! Don’t use alcohol or dilution or similar products for cleaning the radome!
Note! The reception of programs in different regions depends on the footprints of the satellites.
Also, the TV reception can be affected by rain, snow, dense clouds and extreme movements in
areas of weak signals and there is no warranty for receiption of certain channels.

1.2 Safety recommendations
➔Please note that the maximum power voltage for the antenna unit must be between 12 and 36
volts DC, and the overload protection should be rated min 5 amp and max 7 5 amp
➔When mounting the antenna, the distance from the antenna unit to other radiation sources e g
radar equipment or other antennas (mobile communication antennas) should be min 2 5 m (8
ft)
➔Simultaneous operation of radar and satellite antenna may damage the satellite antenna if not
installed directly above the radar antenna
➔Do not use the control unit outdoors
➔During a thunderstorm, we recommend that the connection cables are disconnected
➔If the negative side of the antenna unit’s supply voltage has no connection to ship’s ground
(earth), then the antenna unit’s ground point should be connected directly to ship’s ground
(earth)
➔After the installation is completed, all other electronic systems i e GPS, Radar, VHF, FM, AM
etc should be tested for full functionality, while the antenna is turned on
➔Do not test or turn on the antenna before the radome is fitted correctly If the sun reflects into
the dish, the electronics can be damaged
➔Do not touch the rotary joint
➔Do not attempt to open the sealed electronics, as this will void the warranty

2.3 Selectin location
This illustration shows the importance of a proper location for the antenna unit
Note that criteria such as an unobstructed view to the satellite and a strong mounting surface are met
Furthermore, no sources of interference, e g radar equipment or other antennas, such as mobile
communication antennas, should be installed nearby the Marine TV antenna unit A minimum distance
of 8-12 ft (2-3 meters) has to be observed in order not to affect the picture quality
Although the radome is sealed, it is recommended to avoid direct waves and bilge water!
The antenna unit has to be installed so that no superstructures will obstruct the sight to the satellite!
Please note, that the elevation angle depends on the geographical location of the boat and on the
selected satellite!
☛ Equally important for a good installation are the conditions of the mounting surface and the
lengths of the different cables. See section 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6.

2.4 Mountin surface
A horizontal, solid and steady surface is very important Make sure that the surface does not have any
irregularities! Furthermore, please take into consideration that the weight of the antenna unit is 56 kg
or more Therefore, the surface has to be strong enough to carry the antenna unit, even during the most
challenging maritime conditions
2.5 Plannin the cable paths
Before starting the installation, you should check which walls are suitable and if existing openings can
be used for the cables
☛ All openings have to be sealed in order to avoid any water penetrating.
The control unit should be placed as close as possible to the receiver The maximum length of the
cable is 3 meters Refer to Appendix F for data concerning appropriate cable types
2.6 Power supply
The antenna unit can be connected directly to any ship’s power supply net of 12/24/32 volts DC The
circuit fuse should be rated for min 5 amperes and max 7 5 amperes! (See appendix H “Technical
Specifications”)
☛ The power distributor must be idle while working on the ship’s supply net or you may short
circuit the system.
If the negative side of the supply voltage of the antenna unit has no connection to the boat ground,
make sure a potential compensation between boat ground and the ground point of the antenna unit is
made
2.7 Drillin s
To avoid any damage to the mounting surface it is recommended that you start out with drilling a
smaller hole, using a 3 5-4 mm bit before drilling the correct hole size Use an 8 5-9 mm bit to drill 4
mounting holes for the M8 screws included To drill the holes in the correct positions, please refer to
the included template

make yourself familiar with the key functions and to memorize their usage in the menu structure:
Power key: Short press will turn on the power or will enter Standby mode after initialization
Browse key: Short press will browse through all available menus, step by step
Select key: Short press will select/confirm what is written in the display
☛ From the Standby mode: Hold Select key pressed while using the Browse key to scroll through
available data: serial no., operation time, and software versions. See section 6.3.
3.2 Preparin the receiver
EPAK-TV does not need a special receiver The satellite tracking system can be connected to any
commercial receiver for digital and analogue reception Only the LNB-type in the setup menu of the
receiver has to be set on “Universal” (LOF 9,75/10,6 GHz) If you want several satellite positions, the
DiSEqC ™ function for an automatic satellite switch has to be activated
To program your receiver, please refer to the respective owner’s manual!
For every satellite at least one program must be preprogrammed in the receiver to control the
satellite position of the antenna unit by means of the TV picture quality If not, preprogram the
receiver by using an already installed satellite system!
In case the receiver supports the function, adjust the receiver so that the power supply of the
LNB is turned off during the standby-mode This means that the control unit and the antenna
unit are without power supply This function enables the turning on and off of the antenna unit
via remote control of the receiver, which lowers the power consumption
In case several receivers are connected to the antenna simultaneously (e g a digital receiver
with analogue receiver looped through) both receivers must have identical DiSEqC ™ settings
i e active or inactive
