THIS WAY UP
• Place the boxes/crates on the oor noting the direction of the arrow.
FRAGILE
• Since the Radome is fragile, handle it with care. Do not apply excessive pressure or shock.
These may cause surface cracking or other damage.
DO NOT STACK
• Do not stack boxes/crates as there is a risk boxes/crates may fall and be damaged.
KEEP DRY
• Always make sure the antenna is stored on a dried oor.
• The antenna can withstand ordinary rain. However it water resistance cannot be guaranteed
if submerged.
• Keep the antenna in dried place for sufcient ventilation. Do not store the antenna wrapped
in a tarp, tent, vinyl, and others.
General Precautions
Before you use the antenna, make sure that you have read and understood all safety requirements.

Intellian v60Ka Introduction
Intellian v60Ka (65cm) is a Ka-band maritime stabilized antenna, a ready-to-use system for Telenor on their Super-
fast Ka Band broadband Satellite service. The v60Ka offers robust Ka-band RF performance optimized for Telenor
Satellite Broadcasting's THOR 7 High Throughput Satellite (HTS) Ka-band service.
The v60Ka ACU includes Wi-Fi to allow wireless connection using the dedicated Intellian Aptus software for system
control and monitoring. The Aptus software automatically congures the antenna system, enabling true One Touch
Commissioning.
Equipped with Aptus®, the v60Ka antenna can be remotely accessed, monitored and controlled through serial
connection or secured TCP/IP network. Its graphic-based user interface provides easy-to-use operating environment.
The v60Ka also has an embedded web server and secured web user interface called Aptus Web for remote management
of the antenna on a web browser. Network connection can be easily setup through the front Management Ethernet
Port on the ACU that supports automatic IP conguration.
The antenna's 3-axis stabilized platform with advanced shock-resistance and vibration damping design of the
Pedestal is fully optimized to withstand the demanding maritime conditions which ensures reliable broadband
communications. The unlimited azimuth range ensures continuous tracking without unwrapping the cables in the
antenna and the low elevation angle (-20°) supports seamless signal reception at extremely high latitudes.
The v60Ka is built to meet or exceed the industry's most stringent standards such as FCC, ETSI, R&TTE. With its
frequency tuned radome and newly designed reector, the v60Ka offers the maximized performance on a Ka-band
service.

Introduction
Intellian v60Ka Features
Ka-band optimized reector
The v60Ka carbon ber reector is designed and engineered to operate on the Ka-band while maximizing the RF performance.
The reector of the v60Ka is designed to be extremely precise and very stable in all operating conditions.
Frequency tuned radome
To ensure efcient operations for Ka-band systems, the signal loss of the radome itself is minimized and the performance
maximized with an optimized radome design that enhances the Ka-band system performance.
Gyro-free satellite search capability
Intellian’s new generation gyro-free satellite search function enables the v60Ka to acquire and lock onto the satellite without an
input from a ship's gyrocompass.
Graphical and user-friendly antenna control software
The v60Ka provides a newly developed, graphic-based antenna remote control program with an additional Software Development
Kit (SDK), allowing the NOC or service center to integrate antenna monitoring and control into its existing network management
systems in an easier, user-friendly, and convenient manner.
Dedicated Management Ethernet Port
The v60Ka has a Management Ethernet Port on the front of the ACU that enables direct and simple network connection between
a PC and the ACU. The Management Port allows Internet access and quick access to Intellian's remote management solution,
the Aptus Web.
Wireless access via Wi-Fi
The built-in Wi-Fi wireless network card enables the ACU to be wirelessly connected and can be turned on and off by a switch.
Wireless devices such as PCs, laptops and smartphones can be used to connect to the ACU and monitor, enabling users to
control and change the settings of Intellian antenna system wirelessly.
Industry-leading standards compliance
The v60Ka is designed to meet or exceed FCC and ETSI specications, as well as EN60945, EN60950, R&TTE, DNV2.4 Class C
specication.
Automatic satellite switching

Installing 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 ideal antenna site has a clear view of the horizon or satellite all around. Please be sure there are no obstacles
within 15º above the center of the antenna. Any 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 its energy levels may 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 a minimum of 15 feet (4.6 m) 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 on the vessels center line. If these conditions cannot be satised, select the
best site available minimizing the effects of obstructions, vibrations and position closest to the vessels center line.

Congure Radiation Hazard/Block Zones
It is important to set up the radiation hazard or block 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 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 predened 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 transmission.
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.
