2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2.1 VENUS V9000 - SATURN V9100 -
MARS V9801
They are satellite TV antennas that guarantee
renewed performance in satellite signal reception
and tracking when cruising, when riding the anchor
and when moored.
They are provided with the new HPD (High-Per-
formance Dish) parabolic dish, combined with the
innovative STO (Silent Tracking Operation) noise
reduction system.
They are equipped with an efficient compensation
system of the boat’s rolling and pitching move-
ments consisting of electronic gyro-stabilizers
(EGS) and a single coaxial rotating joint (CRJ),
which allows the antenna to stabilize signal recep-
tion by turning infinitely on the azimuth axis, with no
need to wind the single coaxial cable (SCC). They
allow connecting one receiver at a time.
They are also equipped with a control unit which
can be embedded into the on-board electric panel.
8 satellites are already available on the control unit
and are recognized through the NIT (Network Iden-
tification Table) system.
They are prearranged for future updating.
2.2 SATURN V9104 - V9104SKEW - MARS
V9804 - V9804SKEW
They are satellite TV antennas that not only guar-
antee high performance standards in signal recep-
tion and tracking while cruising, when riding the
anchor and when moored, but also allow the con-
nection of up to 16 independent decoders on the
same boat.
They are provided with the new HPD (High-Per-
formance Dish) parabolic dish, combined with the
innovative STO (Silent Tracking Operation) noise
reduction system.
They are equipped with an efficient compensation
system of the boat’s rolling and pitching move-
ments consisting of electronic gyro-stabilizers
(EGS), a multiple coaxial rotating joint (MCRJ) and
a multiswitch box for the connection of more inde-
pendent decoders (4 outputs for multiswitch, up to
a maximum quantity of 16 per antenna).
The antenna can turn infinitely around its axis,
since no coaxial cable winding and no interruption
of TV reception are needed. They are equipped
with a control unit which can be embedded into the
on-board electric panel.
In the SKEW version, they are provided with the
innovative compensation system which, according
to the geographic position, directly operates on the
LNB, automatically changing its inclination and
optimizing polarization to obtain the best possible
signal quality.
8 satellites are already available on the control unit
and are recognized through the NIT (Network Iden-
tification Table) system.
They are prearranged for future updating.
2.3 RHINE R9804
Rhine R9804 is the best satellite TV antenna for
river boats designed by Glomex. Identical in dimen-
sions to Mars V9804 (dish diameter 600 mm), it
allows the connection of up to 16 independent
decoders on the same boat. This antenna is
equipped with a multiple coaxial rotating joint
(MCRJ) and with a multiswitch box for the connec-
tion of more independent decoders (4 outputs for
multiswitch, up to a maximum quantity of 16 per
antenna). Rhine R9804 has been designed to
obtain an outstanding performance in river naviga-
tion thanks to the new hardware and software of
mobile inspiration, which prevent losing the satellite
TV signal even in the presence of bridges and
obstacles along the banks. These characteristics
make Rhine the ideal choice to watch TV in river
boats and in case of bad weather conditions.
It is designed for future updates.

SWARNING
Plan the whole installation before proceeding!
Please consider the lay-out of the various compo-
nents, the distance between them, the length of the
various cables and the accessibility to the equip-
ment 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 anten-
nas, 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.
- make sure that the mounting surface is resistant
and rigid enough to support the weight of the
antenna and the vibrations which could occur.
- do not install the antenna near speakers or mag-
netic sources. In case it is not possible, it is nec-
essary to compensate the magnetic source,
paying attention not to interfere with the on-board
compass.
- the antenna requires a lifting angle αbetween 5°
and 90° to receive satellite signals (Fig. 4).
Roll-bar

Typical antenna lifting
- please also consider the position of the antenna
with respect to the position of all various attach-
ments or wiring harnesses inside the boat.
- the control unit should be mounted in a conven-
ient position for the adjusting operations. It
should be near the receiver/TV-set unit, so that
the TV screen may be watched while carrying 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.
Fig. 5
NORTHERN EUROPE (~ 15°) CENTRAL EUROPE (~ 35°) SOUTHERN EUROPE (~ 50°)
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.
6).

Once the ring nut has been manually screwed
in, tighten by ¼ turn by means of a 11 mm
wrench.
16. Remove the two safety straps found on the azi-
muth and lifting gears.
SWARNING
For a correct assembly, respect the installation
direction indicated in Fig. 11.
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 cable
coming from the power supply;
- it must be reached by the coaxial cable com-
ing from the antenna (10 m long);
- it must be positioned in a dry and ventilated
area (maximum operating temperature
45° C).
2. Determine the correct position for the power
supply:
- it must be close to the control unit;
- it must be reached by the (red - black) cable
coming from the batteries or from the on-
board panel;
- it must be positioned in a dry and ventilated
area (maximum operating temperature
45 °C).
3. Connect the coaxial cable of the antenna (pre-
viously installed) to the ANTENNA IN input on
the control unit and a coaxial cable between the
RECEIVER OUT output on the control unit and
the decoder.
Make sure that the cable cores are correctly
inserted in the central holes of the relevant
female connectors on the control unit.
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.
SWARNING
Antennas V9000, V9100 and V9801 are designed
to operate with a single decoder; therefore, do not
install signal splitters upstream or downstream the
control unit.

4. Connect the power supply cable (10-30 VDC)
to a free switch for the on-board electronic
devices (min. 5A): connect the positive terminal
to the red cable and the negative terminal to the
black cable. The power supply line must have
cables with a minimum cross section of
2.5 mm2with a length up to 4 m, of 4 mm2for
longer cables.
SWARNING
Do not use power supply from secondary circuits.
This could jeopardize the operation of the equip-
ment.
SWARNING
In order to prevent that current leakage or charge
build-up may damage the electronic components of
the antenna, make sure there is an efficient
grounding system.
SWARNING
Pay attention not to bend the coaxial cables at a
right angle; the bending angle must always be
higher than 120°.
NOTE (applies to V9000): in case a cable longer
than 10 m should be necessary for connecting the
control unit to the satellite receiver, we recommend
installing line amplifier V9115 between them.

NOTE: 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 dimensions (too
long). Do not use different cables, as it would
jeopardize the operation of the equipment.
SWARNING
If the control unit shows the error message ERR1,
there is no communication between the antenna
and the control unit.
It is therefore necessary to check that the connec-
tion cable between antenna and control unit is cor-
rectly fastened and is not interrupted or short-
circuited.
