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.

In details, Intellian i3/i3L/i4/i4P has Wide Range Search (WRS) algorithm, which minimizes the search time during initialization, and Dynamic Beam Tilting (DBT) technology, which dynamically shapes the antenna beam to utilize stabilization.

While tracking the target satellite, DBT technology uses a high-performance, constantly adjusting sub-reflector which allows the antenna to remain relatively still, eliminating the constant whine of stepper motors while staying locked on to the satellites.

The i3/i3L/i4/i4P has a built-in GPS system which enhances the speed of satellite signals acquisitions. In addition, the i4P provides the embedded auto skew angle control system to maintain the optimal signal strength and increase the quality of satellite receptions in weak satellite single coverage area.

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.

High quality antenna

High tech parabolic antenna technology has been adopted for this antenna system, which is optimal for marine conditions. This enables you to receive the optimal signal level even when it is raining or snowing.

Fast and efficient search for the satellite

The WRS (Wide Range Search) algorithm allows for the antenna system to search the satellite within the shortest amount of time and to detect the satellite signal under any position and with any directional movement of the vessel.

Easy installation and outstanding reliability

Intellian i3/i3L/i4/i4P uses only one RF cable for installation. This makes installation easy. Power, RF and data signals transfer from the antenna to the ACU through this single cable. In addition, Intellian i3/i3L/i4/ i4P provides highly reliable system through the implementation of a modularized design, and the usage of strictly proven components.

Built-in GPS

The built-in GPS system enhances the speed of acquisition of the satellite signal and provides Intellian i3/i3L/i4/i4P even higher performance.

Ethernet Port for management

The Ethernet Port on the rear panel of the ACU enables direct and simple network connection between a PC and the ACU. By connecting to ISP or the modem linked with VSAT systems, Intellian i3/i3L/i4/i4P can be monitored, controlled, and diagnosed remotely from anywhere, anytime through the TCP/IP protocol.

This not only can save tremendous time but also save the cost generated from the hundreds of routine maintenance activities such as operating firmware upgrades, tracking parameters resets, and system diagnostic.

Wireless Connectivity and Aptus mobile

The built-in WiFi enables the ACU to be wirelessly connected. Any kind of wireless devices such as PCs, laptops and smartphones can be used to connect to the ACU and monitor, control and change the settings of the system wirelessly. Intellian Aptus mobile is available for download to access to the ACU via Wi-Fi and operate the antenna from iPhone, iPad or other network devices.

iPhone and iPad are registered trademarks of Apple Inc.

Built-in automatic skew angle control system (i4P Only)

The automatic skew control system allows Intellian i4P to maintain the optimal skew angle at all times and ensure maximum level of satellite signal level receptions.

Intellian’s environmental test standards certified

These standards are much severer than a typical experienced marine equipment condition. All testes performed with one unit through all continued sequences. Intellian standards meet LR and DNV standards as well as EN60945.

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).

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 (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. For optimal performance of the antenna, it is not recommended to install at any corner of the vessel, where the movement of the vessel is the greatest. Install the bottom of the antenna parallel to the surface of the sea and fix tightly to the structure of the vessel. When setting the antenna down, be careful not to damage the RF connector. Striking the connectors on the bottom directly will damage the connector.

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.

The Intellian i3/i3L/i4/i4P has been designed to work on a boat’s power supply rated from 9 ~ 30 V DC.

If your IRD(s) and television(s) require a 110V/240V AC power supply, you will need to install a suitable DC to AC converter to operate the unit(s) from your boat’s DC power supply.

RF Cable

This cable is supplied at a length of 49ft (15m). If a longer length is required you should replace this cable with an extended RF cable supplied by Intellian Technologies.

Extending the Cables

The cables that have been supplied with your Intellian system should be of adequate length to complete the installation on most vessels.

12

Note: Exceeding the indicated cable lengths will result in reduced

performance of your 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.

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.

• The height and the diameter of the bottom surface of the antenna are

as shown in the following drawing.

If possible, install the antenna using a power tower.

Note: Before installing the antenna, open the radome and remove the

shipping constraints from the antenna interior. Reinstall the radome before operating the system. The system will not perform properly if the radome is open.

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. It should NOT need to be readjusted if the vessel stays in the same location and is operating on the same satellite.

Skew Angle Adjustment of i3/i3L/i4

Polarization of your Intellian i3/i3L/i4 antenna must be accomplished manually by the following steps.

1. Open the radome after switching power OFF.

2. Loosen 4 bolts of the connection of LNB and feed horn.

3. Turn LNB to place it to the angle indication of the back of the feed horn.

4. Tighten the 4 bolts.

5. Re-install the radome .
