Direct Broadcast Satellite Overview

adcast Satellite Overview
Direct Broadcast Service (DBS) satellites broadcast audio, video and data information from
satellites located 22,000 miles in space. A receiving station, such as WSTA-DP250PMS
antenna, should include a dish and satellite receiver to receive the signals and process them
for use by the consumer audio and video equipment. The system requires a clear view of the
satellite to maximize the signal reception.
Objects such as tall lighthouse, bridges and big ship that block this view will cause a loss of
signal. The signal will be quickly restored once the antenna has a clear line of sight again.
Heavy rain, cloud, snow or ice may also interfere with the signal reception quality. If the
satellite signal is lost due to blockage or severe weather condition, services from the receiver
will be lost (picture will freeze frame and may disappear). When the satellite signal strength
is again high enough, then the receiver will resume providing desired programming services.

Antenna Unit
The antenna unit houses the antenna positioning
mechanism, LNB (low noise block), and control
elements within a radome. Weathertight
connectors join the power, signal, and control
cabling from the belowdecks units.
IDU(InDoor Unit)
The IDU is the system’s user interface, providing
access to the system and its functions through an
LCD and three buttons. The IDU also serves as
the vehicle’s junction box, allowing the system
to use vehicle power, and supply and receive
data to/from the antenna unit.

Install Tools and Materials
WSTA-DP250PMS antenna system is designed for simple installation and setup. However,
the following list of equipment or items should be available during installation of WSTA-
DP250PMS antenna.
■Electric drill and drill bits
■Socket wrench
■Silicon sealant
■Fastener suitable for specific application
1. Verification of the Vehicle’s Power Supply.
■Confirm that the vehicle’s power supply is 12VDC~24VDC or
Power supply with 230VAC to 12VDC 5A.
2. Verification of the Satellite Receiver and IDU’s attachment and the electricity supply
■Attach Satellite Receiver and IDU in the interior of the vehicle or the trunk.
■Connect the power of Satellite Receiver and IDU.
■Once the power of Satellite Receiver and IDU is verified, it confirms that both
Satellite Receiver and IDU are working normally.
3. Procedure of the satellite’s attachment and installation.
■Attach the satellite on the flat surface area of the vehicle’s roof.
■Connect each end of the Coaxial antenna cable to the satellite’s terminal and the IDU.
■Connect the IDU and the Satellite Receiver box together through the coaxial cable.
■Make sure that the satellite is working normally, once the power is supplied.
Warning :
Things to consider when installing the antenna.
■Turn off the power when attaching or detaching the
antenna.
■Make sure that the attached satellite is fixed on the flat
surface.
■When attaching, ensure that all the products are adhered
properly.
■Ensure that all the cables are connected properly.

Selecting the location

ng the location
Determine the optimum mounting location for the antenna radome assembly. It should be
installed where :
1. The antenna has a clear line-of-sight view to as much of the sky as is practical. Choose
a location where masts or other structures do not block the satellite signal from the dish
as the vehicle turns.
2. The antenna is at least 5 feet away from other transmitting antennas (HF, VHF and
radar) that may generate signals that may interfere with WSTA-DP250PMS antenna.
The further away WSTA-DP250PMS antenna is from these other antennas, the less
impact their operation will have on it.
3. Direct radiation into the antenna from vehicles radar, especially high power
surveillance radar arrays, is minimized. The radome should be as far away from the
vehicles Radar as possible and should NOT be mounted on the same plane as the
vehicles Radar.
4. The antenna radome assembly should be rigidly mounted to the vehicle. If necessary,
reinforce the mounting area to assure that it does not flex due to the vehicle motion or
vibration.
If these conditions cannot be entirely satisfied, the site selection will inevitably be a “best”
compromise between the various considerations.
Figure 2-2 Selecting the location
Perform a through site inspection on the roof for the antenna
to
be mounted.
1. The antenna must have a clear view of the sky and the
horizon at all the directions to avoid blockage of the
satellite signal.
2. The antenna should be on the top of the vehicle.
