Introduction
Introduction to Intellian v110
The Intellian v110 is a 1.05 meter Ku-band marine VSAT communication
antenna system for SCPC, broadband, or hybrid networks and is suitable
for high-speed Internet, email, file transfer, video conference, VOIP, VPNs
and database backup. The v110 is a 3-axis stabilization system designed
for the oceangoing vessels that require “always on” and “high quality”
broadband communications no matter how rough the weather and sea
conditions are.
The v110 has an unlimited azimuth range for continuous tracking
without the needs to unwrap the cables in the antenna. The wide
elevation range from -15 to 120 degrees enables the v110 to have
seamless signal reception while the vessel is traveling near the equator
or Polar Regions.
The v110 meets the FCC’s 2-degree spacing requirement and is built
with Intellian’s extremely high vibration and shock standards. The simple
design of the v110 offers lighter weight and greater reliability than any
competitor’s system in its class. With easiest installation design and
most-user friendly interface you can find in the market, the v110
guarantees that you will have a whole new broadband experience at sea.

Basic System Configuration
For your satellite communication system to work properly, the system
will have to be connected with all of the provided components properly,
as shown in the figure below (see the “Installation” section of this
manual). Separate purchase of a satellite modem is required.

Installing the Antenna
The components of the Intellian v110 have been designed to be
modular so that it is suitable for simple installation on all types of
vessels.
System Components
The Intellian v110 consists of two major units, antenna assembly unit
and antenna control unit.
Antenna Unit
The antenna unit includes an antenna pedestal inside a radome
assembly unit. The pedestal consists of a satellite antenna main dish with
RF components mounted on a stabilized pedestal. The radome protects
the antenna pedestal assembly unit from the severe marine environment.

Antenna Control Unit (ACU)
The Antenna Control Unit (ACU) provides the power to the antenna and
the BUC (block upconverter) for controlling the various settings of the
antenna. The digital VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display) allows for easy
operation of the ACU, even in the dark.

The functions of the ACU are as follows,
System startup.
Setting the satellite.
Editing satellite information.
Setting the antenna parameter.
Setting the antenna manual search.
Setting the LNB local frequency.
Setting radiation hazard or blockage zone.
Setting modem connections
Setting GPS and Gyrocompass.
Display versions.
Display power status.
Performing diagnostic tests.
Backup the system settings.
Restore the system.
Set up the interface with a PC.

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 ideal antenna site has
a clear view of the horizon or
satellite all around. Please be sure
there are no obstacles within 15
degrees above the antenna. Any
obstacles can prevent the antenna
from transmitting and receiving
the satellite signal.
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. If these conditions can be only
partially satisfied, find the best compromised installation site between
the various considerations.

Configure Radiation Hazard/Blockage Zones
It is important to setup the radiation hazard or blockage zones for
Intellian VSAT TX/RX communication systems. (See the “Block Zone
Setting” section of this manual). The ACU can be programmed with
relative azimuth and elevation sectors to create up to five zones where
transmit power would endanger personnel who are frequently in that
area or blockage exists. Several things happen when the antenna is
within one of these zones.
1. “BLOCK” will be displayed on the ACU screen.
2. Tracking continues as long as the signal level is greater than the
predefined threshold value. When the signal level drops below
the threshold value the antenna will wait “Search Wait Time”
parameter amount of time and re-target the satellite you
targeted last. The antenna will continue to re-target the satellite
until the satellite is re-acquired and tracking can be resumed.
3. A transmit inhibit output from the ACU will disable/mute the
modem transmit

System Cables
Before installing the system cables, you need to take the following
points into consideration.
All cables need to be well clamped and protected from physical
damage and exposure to heat and humility.
Cable with an acute bend is not allowed.
Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deck
head, a watertight gland or swan neck tube should be used.
RF Cables (Customer Furnished)
Due to the voltage losses across the length of the RF coaxes at L-Band,
Intellian recommends the following 75 ohm coax cable types for
standard system installations. For cable runs longer than 70 meter,
please consult Intellian Technologies.
