both an Intellian exclusive WorldViewTM Low Noise Block down converter (LNB)
module and General-purpose Universal Quad LNB.
The t-series offers recreational and commercial boaters to achieve a new level of
satellite TV convenience, as well as unparalleled access to the greatest number of
channels at sea.
The Intellian t100W is the World 1st 1m TV antenna capable of operating in all global
market without the need of changing the LNB unit inside of antenna's dome.
The Intellian t100Q has the European dedicated linear LNB and provides higher
optimized gain for especially European waters.
Intellian's patented WRS (Wide Range Search) algorithm achieves fast signal
acquisition and pioneering DBT (Dynamic Beam Tilting) technology makes keeping
stable signal locking.
Designed to excel in all sea states and weather conditions, t100W and t100Q are
tested to industry-leading standards for vibration and resonance frequency as well
as extreme.

INTRODUCTION
Intellian t100W/t100Q Features
Global Satellite Services Compatibility
The Intellian t100W provides seamless connectivity to thousands of Free-to-Air,
Subscription, Standard Denition, and High Denition channels all over the world,
all with only one LNB incorporating eight different Local Oscillator (LO) Frequencies.
Hands-Free WorldViewTM LNB Module for t100W
The Intellian WorldViewTM LNB module is built on the highest stability of ±25 kHz
and is capable of receiving multiband and multi-polarization satellite TV service
around the globe. Therefore, users don't need to manually change the LNB inside
the antenna dome each time the vessel crosses into a different satellite service
region.
Universal Quad LNB Module for t100Q
The Universal Quad LNB module is optimized for European waters using by Dual
Local Frequency (9.75GHz, 10.60GHz). It provides higher optimized gain for
especially European water.
Intelligent Signal Distributor
The embedded Quattro Switching Module(QSM) intelligently distributes different
tone signals to the correct ports on any legacy multi switches installed throughout
the ship. No need for reconguring anything below deck apart from the ACU.
DVB-S2 Digital TV Reception
Some of the HD TV services have moved to DVB-S2 transmission formats and there
will be more in the future. Thanks to Intellian's groundbreaking DVB-S2 digital TV
technology, now boaters are able to enjoy their favorite Sat TV entertainment at sea,
just like home.
Wide Elevation Range
The wide elevation range enables the antenna to have seamless signal reception
while the vessel is traveling near the Equator or Polar Regions.
Global Satellite Library
The t100W includes the pre-programmed global satellite library which allows
boaters to select the desired satellite while traveling 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.
The t100Q has its own optimized library for universal LNB (Local Frequency:
9.75GHz/10.6GHz).
Dedicated Management Ethernet Port
The 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gurations and
quick access to Intellian's remote management solution, the Aptus Web software.

Wireless Connectivity and Intellian App
The built-in Wi-Fi enables the ACU to be wirelessly connected and can be turned
on or off. 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. Intellian's Aptus Mobile App is available for download to access
to the ACU via Wi-Fi and operate the antenna from an iOS enabled device.
Intellian Network Devices
When installed in conjunction with an Intellian-built VSAT antenna, the antenna
can be networked with the VSAT terminal and remotely accessed over the satellite
network from shore based support staff. Onboard technicians can also access any
networked Intellian devices from a single, common web interface.
NOTE: The gures provided in this manual are based on the t100W model, but
the functions and operation of the two models (t100W, t100Q models) are the
same. The dedicated functions of the t100Q model are detailed separately.

System Package
The Intellian t100W/t100Q consists of two major units, an antenna
assembly unit and the antenna control unit.
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
the WorldViewTM LNB module(t100W) or the Universal Quad LNB module(t100Q)
mounted on a stabilized pedestal.
The Quattro Switching Module(QSM) can be changed to quad or quattro mode,
making it compatible with all multiswitches.
The radome protects the antenna pedestal assembly unit from the severe marine
environment.

INSTALLING THE ANTENNA
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 should have a clear view of
the horizon or satellite all around it. 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 by 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 (1.2m) above or below the
level of the radar and minimum of 15 feet (4.6m) away from any high power short
wave radars.
The mounting platform should be robust enough and not subject 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 on 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.

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 humidity.
• A cable with an acute bend is should be avoided.
• Wherever a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deck head,
a watertight gland or swan neck tube should be used.
RF Cables (Customer Supplied)
Due to signal loss 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.
Run Length Coaxial Cable Type
Up to 35 meters RG-6 or LMR-300-75
Up to 60 meters RG-11 or LMR-400-75
Up to 100 meters LMR-600-75
