Coastal 14 Ku-Band TVRO 1. Installation Installation Installation of your Coastal Series Antenna system must be accomplished by or under the supervision of an authorized Sea Tel dealer for the Sea Tel Limited Warranty to be valid and in force. Good planning of the installation will provide the best results. Below is some guidance on issues that are important to consider when planning the installation. Planning is the key to a good installation.
Installation Coastal 14 Ku-Band TVRO The ACP and the satellite receiver should be mounted near each other which is connected to each other with a supplied 6 foot RF receiver cable, If enclosed in a cabinet or panel, assure that there is adequate airflow to prevent from over-heating and provide forced airflow if needed. 1.2. Coastal 14 System Inventory Please inventory the contents of the box.
Coastal 14 Ku-Band TVRO 1.6. Installation Prepare the Satellite Receiver and Television mounting locations Prepare the mounting locations for the satellite receiver and television set ( or monitor and stereo sound system). 1.7. Running the Cables 1.7.1. Antenna Cable Route the “F” connector end of the antenna cable down from the radome mounting location through the boat to the antenna control panel location. Adjust the cable routing so that about 12 inches (30.
Installation Coastal 14 Ku-Band TVRO 2. Remove the radome top by removing the three screws that thread into the radome base. 3. Set the radome top aside in a safe location until you are ready to close the radome. 4. Cut the shipping tie-wraps to allow free movement of the antenna mechanism. 5. Thread a ¼-20 bolt through a bonded washer (neoprene side down) and through one of the threaded inserts in the base of the radome. Install the other three bolts & bonded washers in the same way. 6.
Coastal 14 Ku-Band TVRO Installation 7. Lift the base of the radome up and connect the antenna cable to the base of the antenna. 8. While being careful not to pinch or kink the antenna cable, set the radome base mounting bolts into the mounting holes. 9. From the underside of the mounting surface, install a ¼” flat washer, a small pattern washer and a nylon lock nut on each of the mounting bolts. 10. Tighten all four of the nuts. 11. Re-install the radome top. 1.9.
Installation Coastal 14 Ku-Band TVRO 4. Connect the antenna cable to the IN connector of the antenna control panel. This IN connection supplies 30VDC operating voltage and antenna control signals to the antenna and receives satellite signal from the antenna. CAUTION: Connecting the satellite receiver to the IN connector may damage the satellite receiver. 5. Connect the receiver cable to the OUT connector of the antenna control panel.
Coastal 14 Ku-Band TVRO 2. Setup Setup 2.1. System Checkout 1. Press the ON key on the antenna control panel. Both LED’s (TRACKING and UNWRAP) should illuminate for 5 seconds verifying the DC power and LED cable connections between the antenna control panel and the antenna pedestal assembly. 2. Turn power ON to the satellite receiver and the TV monitor. The television may now be displaying “searching for satellite signal” verifying proper video connections between the receiver and the monitor. 2.2.
Setup Coastal 14 Ku-Band TVRO 2.3.2. Setting Auto Threshold for Proper Tracking Auto Threshold needs to be set to about 1/3rd of the difference in AGC between noise floor (OFF satellite) signal level and peak (ON satellite) signal level. The most common value for the Coastal 14 is 60. 1. Press the NEXT key to SELECT this parameter for adjustment. 2. Once selected, press ▼ & ▲ arrow keys to increment/decrement the indicated digit to the desired value. 3.
Coastal 14 Ku-Band TVRO 2.3.3.2. Setup NAME Enter or edit the 6 character Name you want to use for this saved satellite. 1. Press the NEXT key to SELECT this sub-menu parameter for adjustment. 2. A cursor will appear under the leftmost character. Press ▼ & ▲ arrow keys to increment/decrement this character. 3. Press the NEXT key to move the cursor to the next character to the right. Press ▼ & ▲ arrow keys to increment/decrement this character. 4.
Setup Coastal 14 Ku-Band TVRO 4. Continue editing until all 4 digits have been set to the desired tracking Frequency for this satellite selection. Press the SAVE key to save the FREQ parameter for this SAT. 5. If you want to edit any of the other default values that are loaded with preset, press the ▼ arrow key to go to the next sub-menu parameter. 6. If you do not want to edit any other sub-menu parameters, press SAVE again to exit the sub-menu and return to the SAT main menu display.
Coastal 14 Ku-Band TVRO Setup 2.3.3.7. FEC Enter or edit the best Forward Error Correction rate for the receiver to use for this satellite. This choice presets all of the other sub-menu parameters to factory defaults for the satellite you choose to set this SAT to. 1. Press the NEXT key to SELECT this parameter for adjustment. 2. Once selected, press ▼ & ▲ arrow keys to scroll through a list of choices which this SAT can be preset to. This list may change in future software revisions.
Setup Coastal 14 Ku-Band TVRO 3. Press the NEXT key to move the cursor to the digit to the left. Press ▼ & ▲ arrow keys to increment/decrement this digit. 4. Continue editing until all 4 digits have been set to the desired NID for this satellite selection. Press the SAVE key to save the NID parameter for this SAT. 5. If you want to edit any of the other default values that are loaded with preset, press the ▼arrow key to go to the next sub-menu parameter. 6.
Coastal 14 Ku-Band TVRO Setup First Satellite Parameters paragraphs to set PRESET, NAME, LON, LHCP freq, RHCP freq, BAUD, FEC, NID and POL TRIM for a fifth satellite you wish to use periodically. 2.3.8. SAT6 - Sixth Satellite Parameters Access all of the SAT6 individual parameters via a sub menu. If a second SAVED satellite if not needed, preset SAT6 to empty/blank so NEXT will skip over this selection when you are switching satellites.
Setup Coastal 14 Ku-Band TVRO WARNING: Improper setting of this parameter WILL cause the antenna to malfunction. 1. Press the NEXT key to SELECT this sub-menu parameter for adjustment. 2. Once selected, press ▼ & ▲arrow keys to scroll through a list of model number choices. This list may change in future software revisions.
Coastal 14 Ku-Band TVRO Setup 5. Press the NEXT key to move the cursor to the next character to the right. Press ▼ & ▲ arrow keys to toggle this character between E (East) and W (West). 6. Press the SAVE key to save the current ships longitude in the LON parameter. 2.4. Saving the SETUP Parameters When you have completed setting the desired parameters above, Press and Hold SAVE for 6 seconds to save the changes you have made to the settings and exit SETUP Mode. “Settings Saved” will be displayed.
