 Introduction

Chapter 3.  Introduction

3.1  Introduction of s100N

Intellian’s s100N WorldView™ is a digital marine satellite antenna system specifically designed for reception of
worldwide Ku-band satellites, as well as the DIRECTV® services, enabling seamless and uninterrupted satellite
TV reception across multiple coverage areas and service providers.

The dual-band 3-axis marine satellite antenna system is capable of receiving two Ka-band satellite signals and
one Ku-band signal for DIRECTV® North American programming, making all channels available for viewing
simultaneously. The Intellian Ku and Ka-band WorldView™ Trio LNB™ with triple feed horn selects a satellite
television provider and connects to a satellite receiver. The WorldView™ Trio LNB can then automatically switch
frequency, depending on the region the antenna is operating in.

All Intellian antenna systems are designed, manufactured, and tested to meet industry standards for vibration
and shock in nominal weather conditions.

11
s100N - Maritime Satellite TV Antenna System

3.2  Features of s100N

Simultaneous Reception of DIRECTV® Ka and Ku-band

The antenna solution incorporates 3 feed horns to simultaneously receive 3 satellites: 2 DIRECTV® 99º and
103º Ka-band satellites and 1 DIRECTV® 101º Ku-band satellite. This allows viewers of satellite programs to
watch every DIRECTV® channel without changing satellites.

User Friendly Five Cable Configuration

A user friendly, five cable configuration for global TVRO installers and engineers. There are four independent RF
cables that connect the Worldview™ LNB to the multi-switch directly and one power cable that is connected to
the ACU.

All New Hardware & Standardized Modular Components

All New hardware and pedestal based on our quality proven VSAT terminals. Modular components are used
throughout the new TVRO range, such as dynamic motor brakes with integrated encoders, the Main Control Unit,
and the skew assembly. By sharing common modules across Intellian’s new TVRO antenna line, the number of
spare parts required is reduced.

Hands-Free WorldView™ Trio LNB

The built-in Worldview™ Trio LNB module will automatically switch to the corresponding polarization and local
frequency to receive the target satellite signal. This allows users to enjoy any satellite TV service around the world
without the need to switch LNBs.

Unlimited Azimuth Range

This Intellian-only solution allows the system to operate in an unlimited azimuth rotating range. It prevents cable
problems, such as disconnecting, cutting, and wrapping, that might otherwise occur in the field.

DVB-S2 Digital TV Receptions

Some of the HD TV services have moved to DVB-S2 transmission formats and there will be more in the future.
Thanks to Intellian's groundbreaking DVB-S2 digital TV technology, now boaters are able to enjoy their favorite
Sat TV entertainment at sea–just like at home.

19-inch Rack-mount Type ACU (Antenna Control Unit)

Intellian s100N ACU offers a pre-programmed global satellites library and provides the power to the antenna.
Detailed information and satellite changes are displayed on an OLED display on the ACU front panel.

Multi Switch Module

The Intellian multi-switch module provides simple connections to different types of satellite receivers. The built-
in SWM outputs and standard multi-switch outputs support both single wire and standard installations. This
reduces the need for additional hardware and reconfiguration of the system when viewing programs on multiple
TV screens.

AptusNTV Wireless Connectivity

Intellian's all new integrated M&C platform AptusNTV provides a responsive web user interface. The
Installation Wizard function configures the antenna system automatically and minimizes operators’ work on
system installation and operation. Any kind of wireless device, such as a PC, laptop or smartphone, can
connect to the ACU to manage and control the antenna system.

 Planning Installation

Chapter 4.  Planning Installation

The antenna installation requires extreme precaution and safety measures given its size and weight. Failure to
follow the correct installation process may lead to injury of the installer and/or cause damage to the system. To
maximize the performance of the system, a thorough review of this installation guide is strongly
recommended. In addition, you should execute the installation process as it is noted in this manual.

4.1  Selection of Installation Site

The system should be placed in an area onboard the vessel with little to no RF signal blockage. The
antenna unit should have direct line-of-sight with the desired satellite without any obstacles in the beam
path. Minimum distances between the antenna and other onboard devices must also be considered
during installation. Install the antenna in accordance with the following procedures to ensure maximum
performance.

4.1.1  Minimize Satellite Blockage

The ideal antenna site should have a clear view of the horizon or satellite with all around clearance. Make
sure there are no obstacles within the EL range -15° to +115° from the center of the antenna.
Any obstacles can prevent the antenna from tracking the satellite signal.

5.3  Designing Mast (Example Only)

The installation mast must be robust enough to prevent flex, vibration, and sway when an external force
is exerted on the mast with antenna and radome attached. Refer to the following mast drawings for more
details.

NOTE
• This is a general example of designing a mast. The shape of mast may differ depending on the
ship's environment.
NOTE • Follow the Intellian installation recommendations for safety.

WARNING
• When designing a mast, consider the minimum and maximum thickness of the mast plate marked
on the diagram. If the thickness of the mast plate is different from the recommended size (Min.
10.0 mm/ Max. 20.0 mm), choose the bolt size for mounting the antenna on the mast according
to the table below.
Mast Plate Thickness Recommended Bolt Size
10 ~ 28 mm (Recommended) M12 x 80L (Supplied)
WARNING 28 ~ 35 mm M12 x 90L
• To use the supplied bolts (M12 x 80L) for mounting the antenna on a mast, the thickness of the
mast plate must be 10 ~ 20 mm. The minimum thickness of the mast plate is 10 mm. If the mast
plate is thicker than 20 mm, the supplied antenna mast mounting bolts may be too short to
mount the antenna on the mast securely.

5.4  Routing RF Cable on Mast (Example Only)

The cable must be routed from the antenna and through the ship to end up at the antenna control unit.
When pulling the cables in place, avoid sharp bends, kinking, and excessive force. After placement, seal the
deck penetration gland and tie the cable securely in place. Cable brackets must be installed on the mast to
secure the cable. The gooseneck must be installed on the side of the mast to protect the cable from water.

WARNING
Ensure that cable has been run through watertight fittings to prevent water entry into the vessel when
installation is completed.
WARNING

NOTE
This is a general example of routing cables on the mast. The routing method may differ depending on the
ship's environment.
NOTE

1. Route the cable from the gooseneck on the deck to the antenna as shown in the figure below.
2. Maintain sufficient cable length (at least 2 m) when routing the cable on the surface of the mast. After
connecting the cable to the connector inside the radome, adjust the length and fix the cable on the cable
brackets using cable ties.

ü Step 5: Blockage

Up to five antenna blockage zones can be set by entering the relative azimuth and elevation sectors where
line of site will be blocked. Setting blockage zones ensures that the programs viewers watch won’t be
interrupted by keeping the antenna from pointing to those zones.
The Az. Start is the relative azimuth angle where the blockage starts, and the Az. End is the relative
azimuth where the blockage ends (Range: 0 ~ 360). The El. is the elevation angle where the blockage is set
(Range: 0 ~ 90). The blockage is activated below the set elevation angle.
Click the Apply button to apply the settings to the system and the (Next) button to go to the next step.

ü Step 6: Install Report

12.2  Appendix B. Important notice of waterproofing connector

12.2.1  Introduction
During antenna installation, it is important to ensure that once the cable is connected to the antenna, proper
waterproofing of the connector must be done with a self-amalgamating tape.
If you need any assistance, please contact Intellian Technical Support ([email protected]).

12.2.2  Outline of taping

Self-amalgamating tape comes with a protective,
plastic peel-away layer that allows the tape to rolled
and shipped. To waterproof a connector, you need
to begin by peeling away a portion of this protective
plastic layer and then start wrapping the tape around
it.

12.2.3  Procedure
1. Connect the cable to the connector to be
fully secured.

CAUTION
• DO NOT over-tighten the connector, nuts, or screws when mounting the antenna to prevent any
damage.
• DO NOT leave any cables loosen and non-fixed, especially for those installed outside of the antenna.
CAUTION

2. Apply tape over the connetor.

It is important to wrap the cable onto itself and
the best practice is to wrap the tape over itself by
50%, meaning that once you wrap your first layer
your second layer should overlap over half of the
first layer, and so on. This ensures that you get a
strong bond between the different layers of tape
that properly adhere to one another.

3. Ensure that the entire RF connector is taped

up as shown the picture right.

104
 Appendix

WARNING
• Note that you cannot use ordinary electrical tape to waterproof the RF connector.
Only self-amalgamating tape is able to waterproof the connector properly.
• Failure to do so will result in rust and corrosion to the cable and its connector and this might end up
WARNING

damaging the antenna.
