2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
“NEO” satellite TV antennas manufactured by
Glomex are fitted with a super fast satellite
locking on system even under extreme rough
sea conditions thanks to totally renewed elec-
tronic and mechanical characteristics: more
powerful processor, faster driver and more
sturdy structure. Also, the new electronics
have been designed in order to make “NEO”
antennas extra quiet, both in the satellite
searching and tracking phases.
Thanks to the very new GPS system, Glomex
“NEO” antennas save the navigation positions
previously travelled and ensure increased signal
reception performance even at the far ends of
the signal coverage area.
Also, Glomex “NEO” satellite TV antennas are
managed via the Glomex SAT App available for
iOS and Android devices free of charge. Down-
loading the App you can connect to the satellite
TV antenna via Bluetooth® and with just one
click:
- update the antenna
- Update the list of the antenna satellites
- select and change the satellites
- Send the setting parameters of the antenna to
the technical assistance in case of need.
The wide range of “NEO” satellite TV antennas
covers all the LNB models (universal, multi-
band, dCSS/SCR) to meet all yachtsmen's instal-
lation needs. The antenna models with the new
dCSS/SCR technology have been specifically
designed to be used with new dCSS decoders,
such as Sky Q decoders, and take advantage of
all their functions (such as recording a pro-
gramme while watching another channel). The
dCSS technology also ensures extremely simple
and fast installation thanks to one single cable
that goes down from the antenna even for multi-
output installations.

4. NECESSARY TOOLS FOR
ASSEMBLY (NOT PROVIDED)
Procure all tools and materials listed below. They
will be necessary to complete installation.
- Electric drill (1).
- 8.5 mm drill tip for radome assembly (2).
- 28 mm hollow mill for drilling the passage
hole for the antenna connector cable (3).
- Phillips screwdriver (with adequate dimen-
sions for control unit installation) (4).
- 11 mm wrench (for the installation of the coax-
ial cable connectors) (5).
- Reciprocating saw (to create the compart-
ment in case of wall built-in installation of the
control unit; use the template provided on
page 86) (6).
SWARNING
Plan the whole installation before proceeding!
Please consider the lay-out of the various com-
ponents, the distance between them, the length
of the various cables and the accessibility to the
equipment once it is installed.
SWARNING
Always lift the antenna from the lower radome
and never from the upper radome or any part
inside it.

5. INSTALLATION
Before proceeding with the installation, please
respect the following guidelines:
- please remember that the best position for the
satellite TV antenna is in the middle of the boat,
in the lowest possible position.
- minimize obstruction. The antenna requires a
clear view of the sky in order to receive satellite
TV signals. The fewer the obstacles, the better
the system operation. Any foreign body (flags,
antennas, radar antennas, sailboat masts,
cranes, bridges, etc.) between the antenna and
the satellite obstructs the signal and prevents
correct receipt.
- make sure that the mounting surface is wide
enough for the antenna base to be installed.
- Mount the antenna in a perfect horizontal posi-
tion. If the surface on which the antenna is
installed in not flat, use the optional stainless
steel support for inclination adjustment (code
V9500).
- make sure that the mounting surface is resist-
ant and rigid enough to support the weight of
the antenna and the vibrations which could
occur.
- do not install the antenna near speakers or
magnetic sources. In case it is not possible, it is
necessary to compensate the magnetic
source, paying attention not to interfere with
the on-board compass.
- Fix the antenna firmly to the surface.

- please also consider the position of the
antenna with respect to the position of all vari-
ous attachments or wiring harnesses inside the
boat.
- the control unit should be mounted in a con-
venient position for the adjusting operations. It
should be near the receiver/TV-set unit, so
that the TV screen may be watched while car-
rying out the operations on the control unit.
SWARNING
The radio frequency beam transmitted by the
radar may damage the inner electronics of the
antenna, especially the LNB.
We recommend not to install the antenna at the
same level of the radar, as the radar’s energy
could damage the antenna. The antenna should
be positioned at a distance of at least 1.5 m from
the other transmitting antennas (VHF, radar)
(Fig. 7).

A different installation from the recommended
one could cause an incorrect operation of the
antenna due to the risk of water penetration into
the radome.
Operations to be carried out inside the boat.
1. Determine the correct position for the control
unit:
- it must be positioned near the satellite
receiver, as the provided coaxial cable is 1.5
m long;
- it must be reached by the power supply
cables coming from the control panel;
- it must be reached by the coaxial cable
coming from the antenna (10 m long);
- it must be positioned in a dry and ventilated
area.
2. Connect the coaxial cable of the antenna
(previously installed) to the ANTENNA IN
input on the control unit and the 1.5 m coaxial
cable to the RECEIVER OUT output on the
control unit.
Make sure that the cable cores are correctly
inserted in the central holes of the relevant
female connectors on the control unit (other-
wise, there would be a short circuit and the
fuse installed on the cable would trip).
Manually screw in the ring nuts of connectors
F.
Once the ring nuts have been manually
screwed in, tighten by ¼ turn by means of a 11
mm wrench.
SWARNING
The inversion of the two cables jeopardizes the
operation of the equipment. Make sure you have
correctly installed the coaxial cables. In case of
damage, GLOMEX will not be directly liable for
the damage suffered by the receiver.

3. The power supply line must be min 24V 5A
(12V Pandora model only); the positive pole
must be connected to the red cable while the
negative one to the black cable. The power
supply line must have cables with a minimum
cross section of 2.5 mm2 with a length up to 4
m, of 4 mm2 for longer cables. If the power
supply line is 12V, use the 12DC to 24DC con-
verter provided.
SWARNING
Do not use power supply from secondary cir-
cuits. This could jeopardize the operation of the
equipment.
NOTA: The polarity inversion on the power sup-
ply blows the fuse to prevent any damage to the
antenna.
SWARNING
Pay attention not to bend the coaxial cables at a
right angle; the bending angle must always be
higher than 120°.
SWARNING
The “NEO” one-output satellite antenna is
designed to operate with a single decoder;
therefore, do not install signal splitters upstream
or downstream the control unit.

NOTA: Do not cut the connectors of the coaxial
cables (the operation would not be guaranteed
any more) and always use the original GLOMEX
cables supplied, even with inappropriate dimen-
sions (too long). Do not use different cables, as
it would jeopardize the operation of the equip-
ment.
4. Build in the control unit by using the GLOMEX
accessory (code 4.010.0008) by boring a hole
with a reciprocating saw and using the drill
with 2.5 mm tip (use the cutting template in
Fig. 33 for correct dimensions).
5. Connect the 1.5 m coaxial cable to the satel-
lite receiver.
NOTA: Maximum wall thickness for mounting the
control unit: 20 mm.
SWARNING
If the control unit led flashes alternately red and
green, there is no communication between the
antenna and the control unit.
It is therefore necessary to check that the con-
nection cable between antenna and control unit
is correctly fastened and is not interrupted or
short-circuited.

SDANGER
While installing the antenna, wear the appropri-
ate safety equipment for the job to be carried
out.
1. First of all, make sure you have chosen a cor-
rect position to install the antenna (see sec-
tion 5: “Installation”).
2. Remove the antenna from the packaging box.
Remove the screws from the lower radome.
3. Underneath the base of the antenna, insert
the 4 M8 threaded bars and use a liquid
thread locking product (Loctite®638).
4. Use cutting template 6.1 on page 85 and use
a felt-tip pen to mark the holes for the
threaded bars and cable passage.
