1. The digital satellite tracking system
The advanced technology in the satellite tracking system Simrad Marine
TV makes it possible to have an excellent television reception wherever you
are. Due to an unlimited 360° high-speed tracking, a non-stop access to your
favorite channels is guaranteed even during your trip on a vessel in open seas.
The satellite tracking system is protected by a UV-stabilized and maritime cli-
mate proof radome, easy to handle and maintain. High-speed tracking sensors
developed for this system, using high-tech components of the electronic signal
processing, provide the topmost and dynamic tracking accuracy of the satellite
tracking system. With the help of this technology, Simrad Marine TV guaran-
tees an unmatched tracking rate, dynamic and system performance.
Simrad Marine TV is suitable for any size vessel including smaller boats of
less than 36 ft (11m).
The automatic satellite tracking system includes a reflector antenna dish of
18“ (45 cm) or 23.6“ (60 cm) in diameter that is capable of tracking horizon-
tally and vertically by its direct servo drive (except TV45) to make an amazing
choice of channels available – just like home.
Once the connection to a satellite is established, the tracking system will stay
connected to the correct satellite even in the roughest sea conditions.
Note! The reception of programs in different regions depends on the footprints of
the satellites. Also, the TV reception can be affected by rain, snow, dense clouds
and extreme movements in areas of weak signals.

• All the antennas, except TV46 Twin, will require a Multi-User kit to con-
nect more than one receiver. The TV46 Twin antenna will only require the
kit if more than two receivers are to be connected.
• On single antennas with more than one user (receiver), all the receivers will
be on the same band as the master i.e. if the master receiver switches band,
all other connected receivers will get this new band too.
• On multi antennas, all the users (receivers) can switch between the bands
independently.

1.2 Safety recommendations
Please note that the maximum power voltage for the antenna unit
must be between 11.5 and 36 volts DC, and the overload protection
should be rated min. 5 amp. and max. 7.5 amp.
When mounting the antenna, the distance from the antenna unit
to other radiation sources e.g. radar equipment or other antennas
(mobile communication antennas) should be min. 2.5 m (8 ft).
Simultaneous operation of radar and satellite antenna may damage
the satellite antenna if not installed directly above the radar antenna.
Do not use the control unit outdoors.
During a thunderstorm, we recommend that the connection cables
are disconnected.
If the negative side of the antenna unit’s supply voltage has no con-
nection to ship’s ground (earth), then the antenna unit’s ground point
should be connected directly to ship’s ground (earth).
After the installation is completed, all other electronic systems i.e.
GPS, Radar, VHF, FM, AM etc. should be tested for full functional-
ity, while the antenna is turned on.
Do not test or turn on the antenna before the radome is fitted cor-
rectly. If the sun reflects into the dish, the electronics can be dam-
aged.
Do not touch the rotary joint.
Do not attempt to open the sealed electronics, as this will void the
warranty.
