Introduction

Introduction to Intellian v110

The Intellian v110 is a 1.05 meter Ku-band marine VSAT communication

antenna system for SCPC, broadband, or hybrid networks and is suitable

for high-speed Internet, email, file transfer, video conference, VOIP, VPNs

and database backup. The v110 is a 3-axis stabilization system designed

for the oceangoing vessels that require “always on” and “high quality”

broadband communications no matter how rough the weather and sea

conditions are.

The v110 has an unlimited azimuth range for continuous tracking

without the needs to unwrap the cables in the antenna. The wide

elevation range from -15 to 120 degrees enables the v110 to have

seamless signal reception while the vessel is traveling near the equator

or Polar Regions.

The v110 meets the FCC’s 2-degree spacing requirement and is built

with Intellian’s extremely high vibration and shock standards. The simple

design of the v110 offers lighter weight and greater reliability than any

competitor’s system in its class. With easiest installation design and

most-user friendly interface you can find in the market, the v110

guarantees that you will have a whole new broadband experience at sea.

Basic System Configuration

For your satellite communication system to work properly, the system

will have to be connected with all of the provided components properly,

as shown in the figure below (see the “Installation” section of this

manual). Separate purchase of a satellite modem is required.

Installing the Antenna

The components of the Intellian v110 have been designed to be

modular so that it is suitable for simple installation on all types of

vessels.

System Components

The Intellian v110 consists of two major units, antenna assembly unit

and antenna control unit.

Antenna Unit

The antenna unit includes an antenna pedestal inside a radome

assembly unit. The pedestal consists of a satellite antenna main dish with

RF components mounted on a stabilized pedestal. The radome protects

the antenna pedestal assembly unit from the severe marine environment.

Figure 2. Antenna Unit

Antenna Control Unit (ACU)

The Antenna Control Unit (ACU) provides the power to the antenna and

the BUC (block upconverter) for controlling the various settings of the

antenna. The digital VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display) allows for easy

operation of the ACU, even in the dark.

Figure 3. Antenna Control Unit

The functions of the ACU are as follows,

 System startup.

 Setting the satellite.

 Editing satellite information.

 Setting the antenna parameter.

 Setting the antenna manual search.

 Setting the LNB local frequency.

 Setting radiation hazard or blockage zone.

 Setting modem connections

 Setting GPS and Gyrocompass.

 Display versions.

 Display power status.

 Performing diagnostic tests.

 Backup the system settings.

 Restore the system.

 Set up the interface with a PC.

Planning the Installation

Selection of Antenna Installation Site

Install the antenna in accordance with the following procedures to insure

maximum performance of the

antenna. The ideal antenna site has

a clear view of the horizon or

satellite all around. Please be sure

there are no obstacles within 15

degrees above the antenna. Any

obstacles can prevent the antenna

from transmitting and receiving

the satellite signal.

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 (4.6m) 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. If these conditions can be only

partially satisfied, find the best compromised installation site between

the various considerations.

Configure Radiation Hazard/Blockage Zones

It is important to setup the radiation hazard or blockage zones for

Intellian VSAT TX/RX communication systems. (See the “Block Zone

Setting” section of this manual). The ACU can be programmed with

relative azimuth and elevation sectors to create up to five zones where

transmit power would endanger personnel who are frequently in that

area or blockage exists. Several things happen when the antenna is

within one of these zones.

1. “BLOCK” will be displayed on the ACU screen.

2. Tracking continues as long as the signal level is greater than the

predefined threshold value. When the signal level drops below

the threshold value the antenna will wait “Search Wait Time”

parameter amount of time and re-target the satellite you

targeted last. The antenna will continue to re-target the satellite

until the satellite is re-acquired and tracking can be resumed.

3. A transmit inhibit output from the ACU will disable/mute the

modem transmit

System Cables

Before installing the system cables, you need to take the following

points into consideration.

 All cables need to be well clamped and protected from physical

damage and exposure to heat and humility.

 Cable with an acute bend is not allowed.

 Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deck

head, a watertight gland or swan neck tube should be used.

RF Cables (Customer Furnished)

Due to the voltage losses across the length of the RF coaxes at L-Band,

Intellian recommends the following 75 ohm coax cable types for

standard system installations. For cable runs longer than 70 meter,

please consult Intellian Technologies.

Preparing the Installation

Unpack the v110 box

The antenna pedestal is shipped completely assembled in its radome.

Remove the four shipping blots which mount the antenna to the pallet.

The pallet should be lifted by means of suitable sized lifting equipment.

(Refer to the supplied instruction guide for details on how to unpack

wooden crate of v110.)
