t80W – Marine Satellite TV Antenna System

Introduction to Intellian t80W
The Intellian t80W antenna locks onto satellites quickly and provides seamless
operation in all regions, offering global coverage. The antenna delivers this
performance by utilizing a fully stabilized 3-axis platform, as well as a fourth axis for
LNB auto-skew control. In addition, built-in as standard, the internal GPS combined
with Intellian's patented Wide Range Search (WRS®) provides the fastest satellite
acquisition possible. Multiple HD receivers can be connected to the system as
standard, providing a truly hands off global coverage depending on the regions
visited.
The Intellian t80W incorporates the patented WorldView™ LNB (Low Noise Block-
Down Converter), which automatically switches frequency depending on the region
the antenna is operating in; all of the switching information is contained in the
Antenna Control Unit (ACU). As the satellite TV provider is selected electronically,
there is no requirement to purchase multiple LNB modules, recongure complex
systems and manually change the LNB unit inside the antenna dome each time the
vessel crosses into a different satellite service region.
The t80W antenna has a broad elevation range, from -15° to +110°, enabling
operation in all conditions and the cross level axis ensures uninterrupted viewing
even when the antenna is operating near the equator. The t80W dome is designed
to complement the v80G VSAT antenna, providing customers with a compact dual
antenna solution for communications and entertainment.
All Intellian antenna systems are designed, manufactured and tested to withstand
the company's industry-leading standards for vibration and extreme shock in all sea
states and weather conditions.

INTRODUCTION
Features of Intellian t80W
Global Satellite Services Compatibility
Intellian t80W provides boaters with seamless and uninterrupted satellite TV service
across multiple coverage areas and service providers offering cost-effective solutions
and straightforward, simple operation from the Americas (circular polarized), as well
as Europe, the Middle East and the Asia Pacic region (linear polarized) with one
LNB module.
Hands-Free WorldViewTM LNB Module
The WorldViewTM LNB module is built with precise pioneering technology of ±25
kHz (±2.5ppm) stability and is designed to receive multi-band and multi-polarization
satellite TV services around the globe. Therefore, boaters are no longer required to
manually switch out the LNB inside the antenna dome or re-wire the system when
the vessel travels from region to region.
DVB-S2 Digital TV Receptions
Some of the HD TV services have moved onto DVB-S2 and will be more in the
future. Thanks to Intellian’s groundbreaking DVB-S2 digital TV technology, now
boaters are able to enjoy their favorite DTH entertainment at sea, just like home.
Wide Elevation Range
The wide elevation range from -15° to 110° enables the t80W to have seamless
signal reception while the vessel is traveling near the Equator or Polar Regions.
Global Satellite Library
The t80W includes the pre-programmed global satellite library which allows the
boaters to select the desired satellite while travelling from region to region. Once
the satellite is selected the WorldViewTM LNB module will automatically switch to the
corresponding local frequency to receive the signal.

INSTALLING THE ANTENNA
System Package
The Intellian t80W consist of two major units, an antenna unit and an antenna
control unit (ACU).
Antenna Unit
The antenna unit includes an antenna pedestal inside a radome assembly unit. The
pedestal consists of the satellite antenna main dish and sub-reector module with
a WorldViewTM LNB module mounted on a stabilized pedestal. The radome protects
the antenna pedestal assembly unit from the severe marine environment.
ACU (Antenna Control Unit)
Antenna Control Unit (ACU) provides the power to the antenna and controls the
various settings of the antenna. Additionally, VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display)
allows you to operate the ACU in the dark.

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 antenna should be installed in a place where there is all round clear view of
the horizon. Please be sure there are no obstacles within 15 degrees above the
antenna. Any obstacles can prevent the antenna from tracking the satellite signal
(Refer to the drawing).
Do not install the antenna near by the radar especially on the same plane as their
energy levels may overload the antenna front-end circuits. It is recommended to
position the antenna at least 4 feet (1.2m) above or below the level of the radar and
minimum of 15 feet (4.6m) 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. For optimal performance of the antenna, it is not recommended to
install at any corner of the vessel, where the movement of the vessel is the greatest.
Install the bottom of the antenna parallel to the surface of the sea and x tightly to
the structure of the vessel.
When setting the antenna down, be careful not to damage the RF connector. Striking
the connectors on the bottom directly will damage the connector.

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 a tight bend radius 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 75 ohm coax cable types for standard system
installations. For cables that run longer than 100 meters, please consult Intellian
Technologies.
