Intellian v130G Introduction
Intellian v130G (1.25m) is a ku-band VSAT maritime antenna system that supports
SCPC, TDMA, Spread Spectrum or Carrier-in-Carrier and is suitable for high-speed
internet, email, le transfer, video conference, VoIP, VPNs and database backup.
With its 3-axis stabilized platform and advanced shock-resistant and vibration
damping design, the v130G is capable of withstanding the most demanding sea
conditions to provide “always on” and “high-quality” broadband communications
on all types of vessels.
The v130G is built to meet or exceed the industry’s most stringent standards such
as FCC, ETSI, R&TT, and MIL-STD-167. The v130G offers superior RF performance
with its simple yet sophisticated design that reduces installation time and total
cost of ownership. Equipped with Remote IP access function, the v130G can be
accessed, monitored and controlled from anywhere and anytime to ensure cost-
effective technical supports without having an engineer come on board.
The v130G is fully integrated with ABS (Automatic Beam Switching) function with
leading service providers who use the embedded OpenAMIP protocol of the iDirect
platform and v130G is also compatible with various platforms such as Hughes,
Comtech, SatLink and more. The v130G operates with just two cables to the
antenna, combining TX signals and +48V DC BUC power in one cable and the RX
signal in the second cable.

INTRODUCTION
Intellian v130G Features
Combined BUC Power and TX Signal
The v130G offers a single cable solution that supplies 48v DC power and TX signal
together from its control unit via one RF cable.
DVB-S2 and Narrowband Carrier Decoding
The v130G is capable of decoding DVB-S/DVB-S2 and narrow band carriers
simultaneously.
Gyro-free satellite search capability
Intellian’s new generation gyro-free satellite search function enables the v130G to
acquire and lock onto the satellite signal without requiring a separate input from the
ship’s gyrocompass
Wide elevation range
The v130G has a wide elevation range from-20° to 120° which offers seamless
signal reception while the vessel is traveling near the Equator or Polar Regions.
Dedicated System Management Ethernet Port
The System Management Ethernet Port on the front of the ACU enables direct and
simple network connection between a PC and the ACU. The Management Port
supports DHCP network connection by default, allowing automatic IP conguration
and quick access to Intellian's remote management solution, Aptus Web software.
Wi-Fi Connectivity
Connect to the ACU(Antenna Control Unit) via Wi-Fi for complete control and
monitoring whenever you are on a vessel. The built-in Wi-Fi enables the ACU to be
wirelessly connected and can be enabled or disabled. Any kind of wireless devices
such as PCs, laptops and smartphones can be used to connect to the ACU and
monitor, control and change the settings of the system wirelessly. An Intellian Aptus
Mobile App is available for download to access to the ACU via Wi-Fi and operate
the antenna from iPhone, iPad.
Intellian Network Device Monitoring
Connection between the Intellian LAN port on the ACU to other Intellian antenna
systems enables real time monitoring and control of all the connected systems
from the v130G. This function provides an integrated control of multiple devices by
a single log-in to the Intellian Aptus Web software.

Planning the Installation
Selection of Antenna Installation Site
Install the antenna in accordance with the following procedures to ensure maximum
performance of the antenna. The ideal antenna site has a clear view of the horizon
or satellite will all around clearance. Please be sure there are no obstacles within
15º above the center of the antenna. Obstacles can prevent the antenna from
transmitting and receiving the satellite signal.
Do not install the antenna near the radar, especially on the same plane as the
microwave radar transmissions as these will overload the antenna front-end circuits.
It is recommended to position the antenna at least 4 feet (1.2 m) above or below the
level of the radar and minimum of 15 feet (4.6 m) away from any high power short
wave radars.
The mounting platform should be robust enough and not subject to vibration.
The movement of the antenna can be minimized by installing at the center of the
vessel. If these conditions can be only partially satised, nd the best compromised
installation site.

INSTALLING THE ACU
Congure Radiation Hazard/Blockage Zones
It is important to setup the radiation hazard or blockage zones for Intellian VSAT
communication systems. The ACU can be programmed with relative azimuth and
elevation sectors to create up to ve zones where transmit power could endanger
personnel who are frequently in that area or blockage exists. Several indications are
providedwhen the antenna is within one of these zones.
RF Hazard Precautions
The antenna is designed to be used with radiation transmit equipment manufactured
by others. Exposure to RF radiation, including exposure associated with an improper
use of the transmit equipment, may be hazardous to persons close to the above
deck unit. Ensure safety of personnel who work on the system.
During transmission, ensure to keep the minimum safety distance. The recommended
minimum safety distance to the reector on the focal line is about 15m, based on a
radiation level of 5mW/ cm2 that applies under occupational/controlled environment.
No hazard exists >20° below the antenna’s mounting plane
1. “BLOCK” will be displayed on the ACU screen.
2. Tracking continues as long as the signal level is greater than the predened
threshold value. When the signal level drops below the threshold value the
antenna will wait the “Search Wait Time” parameter amount of time and re-target
the satellite last targeted. 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 transmission.
Safe access from radiation hazard

System Cables
Before installing the system cables, you need to take the following points into
consideration.
1. All cables need to be well secured and protected from physical damage and
exposure to heat and humidity.
2. Cables with an acute bend should be avoided.
3. Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deck head, a watertight
gland or swan neck tube should be used.
Power Requirement
Intellian v130G has been designed to work on a vessel’s power supply rated at 100-
240 V AC.
Type Multi-conductor, Shielded
Number of cores 2 conductors for NMEA 0183,
5 conductors for NMEA 2000
• Gyro Compass GPS Interface Cable (Customer Supplied)
• RF Cable (Customer Supplied)
Due to signal losses across the length of RF coax on L-Band, Intellian recommends
the following 50-ohm coax cable types for standard system installations. For cables
that run longer than 150 meters, please consult Intellian Technologies.
