Intellian Satellite TV Antenna Systems Introduction Introduction to Intellian s6HD Intellian s6HD is a digital marine satellite antenna system specially designed for the DIRECTV services for all types of vessels (Anchored or in transit) to automatically identify, track and capture satellite signals from the Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB: the international standard for digital TV transmissions) compatible Satellites.
Features of Intellian s6HD Simultaneous reception of 3 DIRECTV satellites Intellian s6HD receives HDTV channels from 3 primary DIRECTV’s Ka-band and Ku-band satellites located at 99°W, 101°W and 103°W. No delay time or changing the satellite signal, you can simultaneously watch every DIRECTV channels. Plug and play, DIRECTV capable Intellian s6HD uses single cable from the antenna to ACU for simple installation.
Intellian Satellite TV Antenna Systems Basic System Configuration For your satellite TV system to function properly, the system will have to be connected with all of the provided components as shown in the figure below (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.
Installation The components of the Intellian s6HD 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 s6HD is composed with the following components for optimum search and reception of the 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 insure maximum performance of the antenna. The antenna should be installed in the place where is an all round 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).
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 You need to follow the power requirements to avoid damage 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. 72 cm (28.3”) 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.
Intellian Satellite TV Antenna Systems Mark of the Antenna Mounting Position Referring to the mounting template, mark where the antenna is to be mounted on a ship (it must be a flat surface) or on a separate power tower by drawing a square of 30.4cm (12”). 30.4 cm (12”) 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.
Securing Holes for Bolts and Cable Way Make 4 bolt holes of 10mm diameter, one at each corner of a rectangle drawn as below, and make a circular hole of 80mm diameter at the center of the rectangle through which the cable will run. Connection of the Cable Remove the rubber cap from RF connector. Connect the RF cable to the RF connector under the base plate through the access hole using an 11mm spanner. Be careful not to over tighten, as you may damage the connector.
Intellian Satellite TV Antenna Systems Installing the ACU Mounting the Antenna Attach the antenna by using the hex head bolts (M8X50L), M8 spring washers, and M8 flat washers supplied.

Bolt 13mm Spanner 17.8 cm (7”) 7.5 cm (2.95”) Figure 12 : Mounting the Antenna 5.4cm (2.1”) 17.
Selection of 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. ACU Installation 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 Advance Configuration – Up to 32 receivers for DIRECTV 99°W,101°W,and 103°W reception An Intellian 32 receiver expansion kit can be purchased with the antenna. In this configuration 2 SWM 16 switches are mounted below decks. Both switches require a 29v SWM power supply. RF L1 is connected through the ACU to a 2-way splitter, and then to the 13v0khz input on 2 SWM 16 switches. RF S1 connects through a 2-way splitter to the 18v0khz input on 2 SWM 16 switches.
Standard Configuration –Single receiver for Legacy DIRECTV reception RF L1 is connected to the ACU. RF L2 is connected directly to the receiver. For multiple receivers a separate multiswitch must be purchased. RF S1 must be connected to the 29v SWM power supply. Note: SWM Power Supply must be connected to S1 to power multiswitch inside antenna radome.
Intellian Satellite TV Antenna Systems Standard Configuration – Single or Multiple receivers for Legacy DIRECTV reception RF L1 needs to be connected through the ACU to the RHCP 13v0khz on the multiswitch. RF L2 needs to be connected to the LHCP 18v0khz on the multiswitch. RF S1 must be connected to the 29v SWM power supply. ACU S1 L2 Note: SWM Power Supply must be connected to S1 to power multiswitch inside antenna radome.
Standard configuration – Single receiver for Dish Network, Bell TV receptions RF L1 connects through the ACU to RF1 input on the MIM. RF L2 connects to the RF2 input on the MIM. RS-232 serial cable (supplied) is connected from the ACU to the MIM. RF S1 must be connected to the 29v SWM power supply. Note: SWM Power Supply must be connected to S1 to power multiswitch inside antenna radome.
