KU-BAND ANTENNA FV-110
Quick guide
Introduction
This quick guide aims at experienced service personnel who have installed the FV-110 system and
connected power. It lists the minimum configuration tasks you have to make before the system. can be
used on-air on a satellite.
Prerequisites
1. Connect a PC to the front LAN connector or the LAN3 connector at the rear of the Antenna Control
Unit.
2. Open an Internet Browser and type the default IP address of the FV-110: http://192.168.0.1 to access
the web interface.
Configuration tasks (minimum)
You find a flow chart for the calibration procedure on page 5-13.
i
Configuration task What to do and where to find more information
Heading input Configure the heading input to External under SETTINGS >
Navigation. For more information see Table 5-1 on page 5-4.
Connect the ship’s heading (RS-422, NMEA0183) to the NMEA 0183
multi-connector. Pin 8 Ship Ground/Shield (connect only one end), Pin 9
Line B +, and Pin 10 Line A-. For more information see NMEA 0183
connector on page 3-3.
Azimuth calibration Make an azimuth calibration under SERVICE > Calibration to ensure
that the FV-110 can point and receive satellite signal. For more
information see Azimuth calibration on page 5-7.
TX cable calibration Make a Tx cable calibration under SERVICE > Calibration to ensure
that Tx power is calibrated at all frequencies. For more information see
Cable calibration on page 5-11.
See Appendix E or http://www.lyngsat.com for DVB-S transponder
information.
Modem connection Connect cables between the modem and the ACU. For more information
see VMU settings on page C-1.
Modem profile Configure the modem profile under SETTINGS > Modem profiles. For
more information see Modem profiles on page 5-22.
Network settings Configure the network settings under SETTINGS > Network if the
modem communicates with IP to the ACU. For more information see To
configure the LAN network on page 5-29.
Satellite profile Configure the satellite profile under SETTINGS > Satellite profiles and
then activate the satellite profile and wait for the system to acquire the
satellite and start tracking. For more information see Satellite profiles on
page 5-24.

method of disposal.
How to discard a used battery
Some FURUNO products have a battery(ies). To see if your product has a battery, see the chapter on
Maintenance. Follow the instructions below if a battery is used. Tape the + and - terminals of battery
before disposal to prevent fire, heat generation caused by short circuit.
In the European Union
The crossed-out trash can symbol indicates that all types of batteries
must not be discarded in standard trash, or at a trash site. Take the used
batteries to a battery collection site according to your national legislation
and the Batteries Directive 2006/66/EU.
In the USA
The Mobius loop symbol (three chasing arrows) indicates that Ni-Cd and
lead-acid rechargeable batteries must be recycled. Take the used
batteries to a battery collection site according to local laws.
In the other countries
There are no international standards for the battery recycle symbol. The number of symbols can
increase when the other countries make their own recycle symbols in the future.

Safety instructions
Read these safety instructions before you operate the equipment.
WARNING
WARNING
Do not open the equipment.
The equipment uses high
voltage that can cause electri-
cal shock. Refer any repair
work to a qualified technician.
If water leaks into the equip-
ment or something is
dropped into the equipment,
immediately turn off the
power at the switchboard.
Fire or electrical shock can
result.
If the equipment is giving off
smoke or fire, immediately
turn off the power at the
switchboard.
Fire or electrical shock can
result.
Indicates a condition that can cause death or
serious injury if not avoided.
Indicates a condition that can cause minor or
moderate injury if not avoided.
WARNING
WARNING
If you feel the equipment is
acting abnormally or giving
off strange noises, immedi-
ately turn off the power at the
switchboard and contact a
FURUNO service technician.
Do not disassemble or modify
the equipment.
Fire, electrical shock or serious
injury can result.
Make sure no rain or water
splash leaks into the equip-
ment.
Fire or electrical shock can
result if water leaks into the
equipment.
Do not operate the equipment
in an explosive environment.
Fire or electrical shock can
result.

Do not place liquid-filled
containers on or near the
equipment.
Fire or electrical shock can
result if a liquid spills into the
equipment.
Do not operate the equipment
with wet hands.
Electrical shock can result.
Use the proper fuse.
Use of the wrong fuse can
cause fire or electrical shock.
Turn off the power at the
mains switchboard before
beginning the installation.
Post a sign near the switch to
indicate it should not be
turned on while the equip-
ment is being installed.
Fire, electrical shock or serious
injury can result if the power is
left on or is applied while the
equipment is being installed.
Ensure the unit is properly
grounded.
Improper grounding can cause
electrical shock or interference
from/with other devices.
Use equipment with a suit-
able voltage rating for ship’s
mains.
Rated voltage is directed at
each unit, and out of range
voltage may cause damage to
the equipment.
Do not approach the FV-110
antenna unit when it is trans-
mitting.
The radome emits radio waves
that can be harmful to the human
body, particularly the eyes.
