1 Introduction
Introduction
Introduction to Intellian v110 The Intellian v110 is a 1.05 meter Ku-band marine VSAT communication antenna system for SCPC, broadband, or hybrid networks and is suitable for high-speed Internet, email, file transfer, video conference, VOIP, VPNs and database backup. The v110 is a 3-axis stabilization system designed for the oceangoing vessels that require “always on” and “high quality” broadband communications no matter how rough the weather and sea conditions are. The v110 has an unlimited azimuth range for continuous tracking without the needs to unwrap the cables in the antenna. The wide elevation range from -15 to 120 degrees enables the v110 to have seamless signal reception while the vessel is traveling near the equator or Polar Regions. The v110 meets the FCC’s 2-degree spacing requirement and is built with Intellian’s extremely high vibration and shock standards. The simple design of the v110 offers lighter weight and greater reliability than any competitor’s system in its class. With easiest installation design and most-user friendly interface you can find in the market, the v110 guarantees that you will have a whole new broadband experience at sea.

Installing the Antenna
The components of the Intellian v110 have been designed to be modular so that it is suitable for simple installation on all types of vessels.
System Components The Intellian v110 consists of two major units, antenna assembly unit and antenna control unit. Antenna Unit The antenna unit includes an antenna pedestal inside a radome assembly unit. The pedestal consists of a satellite antenna main dish with RF components mounted on a stabilized pedestal. The radome protects the antenna pedestal assembly unit from the severe marine environment.

Antenna Control Unit (ACU) The Antenna Control Unit (ACU) provides the power to the antenna and the BUC (block upconverter) for controlling the various settings of the antenna. The digital VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display) allows for easy operation of the ACU, even in the dark.

The functions of the ACU are as follows,
System startup. Setting the satellite. Editing satellite information. Setting the antenna parameter. Setting the antenna manual search. Setting the LNB local frequency. Setting radiation hazard or blockage zone. Setting modem connections Setting GPS and Gyrocompass. Display versions. Display power status. Performing diagnostic tests. Backup the system settings. Restore the system. Set up the interface with a PC.

Obstacle
Planning the Installation Selection of Antenna Installation Site Install the antenna in accordance with the following procedures to insure maximum per formance 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 15 degrees above 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 their energy levels may 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 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 at the center of the vessel. If these conditions can be only partially satisfied, find the best compromised installation site between the various considerations.
Figure 7. Elevation Limit of Obstacles
11
Configure Radiation Hazard/Blockage Zones It is important to setup the radiation hazard or blockage zones for Intellian VSAT TX/RX communication systems. (See the “Block Zone Setting” section of this manual). The ACU can be programmed with relative azimuth and elevation sectors to create up to five 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 predefined 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 transmit

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 humility.
Cable with an acute bend is not allowed. Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deck
head, a watertight gland or swan neck tube should be used. RF Cables (Customer Furnished) Due to the voltage losses across the length of the RF coaxes at L-Band, Intellian recommends the following 75 ohm coax cable types for standard system installations. For cable runs longer than 70 meter, please consult Intellian Technologies. Run Length Coaxial Cable Type Up to 30 meters RG-6 or LMR-300-75 Up to 70 meters RG-11 or LMR-400-75 Up to 120 meters LMR-600-75

Preparing the Installation Unpack the v110 box The antenna pedestal is shipped completely assembled in its radome. Remove the four shipping blots which mount the antenna to the pallet. The pallet should be lifted by means of suitable sized lifting equipment. (Refer to the supplied instruction guide for details on how to unpack wooden crate of v110.)

WARNING: The elevation and cross-level motor breaks prevent dish damage while the antenna is in power off mode. However, Intellian strongly recommends to restraint the antenna pedestal properly during underway conditions when power is removed from the antenna. The normal operating condition for the v110 is to remain powered up at all times.

Installing the System Cables The coax cables must be inserted through the cable strain relief(s) at the base of the radome. The cables must be routed from the antenna through the deck and through various ship spaces to the antenna control unit. When pulling the cables in place, avoid sharp bends, kinking, and the use of excessive force. After placement, seal the deck penetration glad and tie the cables securely in place.

Installing the ACU Intellian supplies two type of mounting methods (a)19” Rack Mount Type and (b)Table Mount Type to mount your ACU. 19” Rack Mount Type
The ACU should be installed using the two supplied Rack Mounting Brackets which allow for a side 19” rack mounting configuration.
Using the self tapping screws supplied, attach the mounting brackets to the sides of the ACU.
Place the ACU in the location where it is going to be installed. Connect the cables to the rear of the ACU.
Table Mount Type
The ACU should be installed using the two supplied Table Mounting Brackets which allow for a top or bottom mounting configuration.
Using the self tapping screws supplied, attach the mounting brackets to the sides of the ACU.
Place the ACU in the location where it is going to be installed. Using a pencil to mark the 4 hole positions (2 each side), and
use the appropriate drill bit to drill them. Connect the cables to the rear of the ACU.

26 V110 – Marine Satellite Communication System
Connecting the System to a Ship’s Gyro For satellite tracking, you must connect a ship’s Gyro to the antenna system through the gyro interface on the rear of the ACU. Intellian’s ACU supports three different gyro types, Step-by Step (SBS), Synchro and NMEA 0183.
SBS/ Synchro/ NMEA 0183 Gyro Compass Interface Cable (Customer Furnished)
Type: Multi-conductor (4 conductors for SBS, 5 conductors for Synchro, and 2 conductors for NMEA 0183).

Bow adjust is to offset the angle difference between the antenna’s bow and the ship’s bow. Variations from actual alignment can be compensated with this parameter, so precise alignment is not required.
Modem port 2) is to determine the type of modem communication port on the antenna control unit that is used to interface with the satellite modem.
Press UP and DOWN arrow keys to select the correct parameter and press OK key to set the parameter.
