Intellian Satellite TV Antenna Systems Introduction Introduction to Intellian i3/i3L/i4/i4P Intellian i3/i3L/i4/i4P is a digital satellite antenna system designed specifically for all types of vessels (anchored or transit) to automatically identify, track and capture satellite signals from the Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB: the international standard for digital TV transmissions) compatible satellites.
Introduction Features of Intellian i3/i3L/i4/i4P Enjoy satellite broadcasts at sea Intellian i3/i3L/i4/i4P is the most modern antenna system that enables you to receive a high quality broadcasting signal at sea, where the atmospheric and environmental condition are very harsh. This fully automatic control system allows you to simply turn the power switch on, and have crystal clear, high quality satellite television in motion or at anchor.
Intellian Satellite TV Antenna Systems Basic System Configuration of Intellian For your satellite TV system to function properly, the system will have to be connected with all of the provided components as shown on the right (Refer to the next chapter ‘Installation’ in this manual for more detailed connection instructions). Separate purchase of a satellite receiver and a TV is required. Note: i3L can only be connected to one receiver.
Installation The components of the Intellian i3/i3L/i4/i4P are designed as module system so that it is suitable for simple installation on all types of vessels. System Components Antenna Unit The antenna of Intellian i3/i3L/i4/i4P is comprised of the following components for optimum search and receiving satellite signal. • Mechanical Unit – manipulates the antenna to receive the optimal satellite signal regardless of the movement of the vessel. • Control Unit – controls mechanical operation of the antenna.
Intellian Satellite TV Antenna Systems Antenna Control Unit (ACU) The Antenna Control Unit (ACU) provides the power to the antenna and controls the various settings of the antenna. The digital VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display) allows for easy operation of the ACU, even in the dark.

Planning the Installation Antenna Unit Install the antenna in accordance with the following procedures to ensure maximum performance of the antenna. The antenna should be installed in a place where it has an all-around clear view of the horizon. Please be sure there are no obstacles within 15 degrees above the antenna. Any obstacles can prevent the antenna from tracking the satellite signal (Refer to the drawing on the right).
Intellian Satellite TV Antenna Systems Cables Before installing the system cables, consider the following points. • All cables need to be well clamped and protected from physical damage and exposure to heat and humidity. • Cables with severe bends are not allowed. • Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, a watertight grommet or swan neck tube should be used. Power Requirements Follow the power requirements to avoid damage to the system.
Installation and Mounting of Antenna The method of installation and mounting of antenna may vary due to vessel design but the following procedures are applicable in most situations, and will result in a secure and effective installation. 54 cm (21.2”) Confirmation of Size Prior to Installation • Check the height and diameter of the bottom surface of the antenna before installing. • The space must be sufficient for installing the antenna unit considering the height and diameter of the antenna.

Mark of the Antenna Mounting Position Referring to the mounting template, mark where antenna will be mounted on board (it must be a flat surface) or on a separate power tower. Note: If a power tower is not suitable to mount the antenna, separate cable shock and waterproofing measures must be taken to protect the RF connector from being exposed to the sea water and external shocks. An exposed cable may cause electric shock and cause serious damage to the equipment.

Selecting ACU Installation Site The ACU should be installed below deck, in a location that is: • Dry, cool, and ventilated. • Easy access from your main TV viewing area. To Install the ACU 1. The ACU should be installed using the two supplied mounting brackets which allow for a top or bottom mounting configuration. 2. Using the self tapping screws supplied, attach the mounting brackets to the sides of the ACU. 3. Place the ACU in the location where it is going to be installed. 4.
Intellian Satellite TV Antenna Systems Connecting the System Cables of i3/i3L/i4/i4P After installing and mounting the antenna, connect the ACU to the antenna. Refer the drawing on the right to connect the cables. RF1 RF2 Single IRD Connection 1. Connect the RF cable 49ft (15m) from the RF 1 connector on the antenna base plate to the ANT. RF1 connector on the ACU. 2. Connect the RF cable 10ft (3m) from the RECEIVER connector on the ACU to RF connector on the IRD. 3.
Dual-IRDs Connection You can connect two IRDs from your antenna as shown in the above diagram. The IRD connected to ACU determines which satellite is tracked, while the other receiver can watch any channel which is available from the tracked satellite. Multi-IRDs Connection In order to connect multi-IRD to the antenna, you will need to purchase a suitable multiswitch. The multiswitch has to be installed between the antenna unit and the IRDs as shown in the following diagram.
Intellian Satellite TV Antenna Systems Connecting the System Cables of i3L After installing and mounting the antenna, connect the ACU to the antenna. Refer the drawing on the right to connect the cables. RF1 Single IRD Connection 1. Connect the RF cable 49ft (15m) from the RF 1 connector on the antenna base plate to the ANT. RF1 connector on the ACU. 2. Connect the RF cable 10ft (3m) from the RECEIVER connector on the ACU to RF connector on the IRD. 3.
Connecting the System to a GPS Your satellite TV system has a built-in GPS. If the internal GPS doesn’t operate properly, you can directly connect your boat’s NMEA 0183 GPS to the system through the ACU’s external GPS connector. To do this you will need a suitable cable to connect your GPS system and the green 2-way ACU GPS connector supplied with your Intellian i3/i3L/i4/i4P Satellite TV System. To Connect the System to a GPS 1.
Intellian Satellite TV Antenna Systems DC OUT port Intellian ACU provides DC OUT port for direct connection of MIM(Multisatellite Interface Multi-switch) or SDM (Shaw Decoder Module) which requires DC power input. Intellian MIM or SDM can be connected to the i-series ACU without AC-DC Adaptor. Figure 22 : DC out MIM Note: The DC power cable is included in the component list of MIM and SDM. 24 Figure 23 : DC out SDM Note: The i3/i3L antenna system is not compatible with SDM.
Adjusting the LNB Skew Angle (Linear Polarization Only) - + LNB Skew Angle The LNB skew angle only needs to be adjusted when the target satellite is linear polarized. In order to receive the maximum satellite signal level, the LNB skew angle must be adjusted according to the calculation of current GPS location and target satellite. It only needs to be adjusted when changing from one satellite to another, or when the vessel has traveled a significant geographic distance.
Intellian Satellite TV Antenna Systems Auto LNB Skew Angle Adjustment for i4P Intellian i4P has an embedded auto skew angle control system. Therefore, manual adjustment of LNB skew angle is not required. The LNB skew angle is continuously adjusted automatically through of the calculation of current GPS location and target satellite. The skew angle of LNB is shown from the ACU and GUI Program.
Wi-Fi Connection Setup Wi-Fi Connection • Setting up the PC in order to access Wi-Fi 1. Connect Wi-Fi. After clicking on the Windows Wireless Connection icon, click on i-AP(default). 2. By default, the connection security is opened. 3.
