1. Introduction

1.1. About This Manual

This manual explains the iNetVu® Fly-1201 Flyaway System Installation and Operation.

An electronic version of this manual is included on the iNetVu® CD that came with your

system.

1.2. System Overview

Equipped to work with the iNetVu® 7024 Series Controller, the iNetVu® Fly-1201 Flyaway

antenna is an easily assembled, rugged and reliable product for automatic satellite

acquisition. This antenna is a rapidly deployable unit that is ideal for applications that

require satellite communication over Ku-Band. The Flyaway empowers users with the

ability to stop anywhere there exists satellite coverage and access Internet at broadband

speeds.

The 1.2M Fly-1201 System comes with a protective case that has been designed to be

airline checkable. Without the use of any tools, the Flyaway could be field assembled

and operational in less than 10 minutes by one person.

4. Assembly and Disassembly

4.1. Assembly Procedure

Support Stand and EL Feed Arm Support plate Assembly

1) Remove AZ Assembly from the case and place it down with the leg grooves pointing

to the sky as depicted in the image.

2) Remove (3) legs from the case and install. One of the legs will have a label on it; this

leg should be installed at the 130 degree marking on the AZ base. The AZ base will

also have stickers indicating the install location of the back leg.

iNetVu® Fly-1201 User Manual

3) Flip the AZ assembly over so it is sitting (like a tripod) on all (3) legs; the leg with the

label (back leg) should be pointing North (if located in Northern Hemisphere) and

South (if location is in the Southern Hemisphere).

4) Remove EL Feed Arm Support plate, fold arm brackets out as depicted in the image.

5) Install EL Feed Arm Support plate on the AZ base assembly; ensure the cables (POL

and Coax) are pulled through front opening and tighten the (4) retaining nuts.

6) Remove EL actuator assembly from the case; install bottom pin as shown making

sure the actuator motor is on the right hand side with reference to the back of the EL

support plate.

9) Open and remove Feed Arm from case.

10) Install Feed Arm onto EL Feed Arm Support plate and tighten retaining (2) nuts.

11) The BUC can be installed at this stage if not already installed. Follow the “Installing

BUC with the Universal Mounting Clamp kit” for mounting the BUC onto the mounting

plate of the feed arm.

Indicates a situation or practice that might result in

property or equipment damage. Ensure Sensor, Motor

and RX/TX cables are connected prior to powering on

7000 Series Controller.

14) Connect External Motor and Sensor cable to AZ mount base. Line up the biggest

notch on the connector to be at the top before attempting to connect to mount face

plate.

15) Turn connector CW (clockwise) until it snaps into place, and a click is heard.

Connect as well the RX and TX coax cables. Note TX is the top and RX the bottom

connector as the label on the plate indicates.
