Coastal 24 & 30 Ku-Band TVRO 1. Introduction Introduction 1.1. General System Description Your system includes a fully stabilized antenna that has been designed and manufactured so as to be inherently reliable, easy to maintain, and simple to operate. The equipment essentially permits unattended operation except for start-ups or when changing to different transponders, or satellites. 1.2.
Introduction 1.5. Coastal 24 & 30 Ku-Band TVRO Quick Overview of contents The information in this manual is organized into chapters.
Coastal 24 & 30 Ku-Band TVRO 2. Operation Operation Detailed information on operating your Coastal Series antenna from the control panel is contained below. For quick reference information, please refer to the laminated card titled “Quick Start Operation” or the previous section. 2.1. Normal Operation Flowchart The flowchart below is a quick reference from Power ON to Normal Operation Tracking a satellite. The paragraphs following this flowchart explain these phases in more detail.
Operation Coastal 24 & 30 Ku-Band TVRO 2.2.1. Power-up/Initialization Phase SEA TEL INC. SN. 98005520 COASTAL 18 INITIALIZING ✴ Second line will display the antenna pedestal serial number that has been saved in the Pedestal Control Unit (PCU), for a few seconds. The Model number that has been saved in the PCU will be displayed on the top line. “INITIALIZING” followed by a “o” until the GPS has a valid position. When the GPS has a valid position “INITIALIZING ✴” is displayed. 2.2.2.
Coastal 24 & 30 Ku-Band TVRO 4 Operation Search Next DN - Will be displayed whenever the system conducts a search for the next satellite DOWN (CCW/Left) from the satellite location it was previously at. This search may be initiated automatically or when the operator presses the NEXT key. 2.2.3. Tracking phase Sat1 DTV101 1876 1 NID FFFE EL 45 First line of the TRACKING display will be the information for the satellite which is currently being tracked.
Operation 2.5. Coastal 24 & 30 Ku-Band TVRO Loss of satellite due to blockage or rain-fade If tracking is lost due to blockage or rain fade, the antenna will search until a signal is found which is high enough for the antenna to begin tracking. When the receiver interface is operating properly, the antenna will automatically continue searching until it has acquired the desired satellite. 2.6. Low Noise Block Converter Operation There are no operating instructions or controls applicable to the LNB.
Coastal 24 & 30 Ku-Band TVRO 3. Basic System Information Basic System Information This section provides you with some additional information about the satellites you will be using, basics of the your antenna system and other equipment within your system configuration. 3.1. Satellite Basics The Television Receive Only (TVRO) satellites are in orbit at an altitude of 22,753.2 Miles (36,600 kilometers) and positioned directly above the equator.
Basic System Information Coastal 24 & 30 Ku-Band TVRO system must be geographically located in an area where the satellite signal level is high enough to provide suitable reception. This limits the number of satellites that can be used and the geographic areas where the boat can travel where the signal level is expected to be strong enough to continue providing uninterrupted reception.
Coastal 24 & 30 Ku-Band TVRO Basic System Information Both horizontal and vertical signals from a satellite will appear to be rotated the same amount and are always perpendicular to each other. The amount of rotation is dependent on how far east or west the satellite is from you and how close you are to the Equator (refer to the polarization information in the Setup and the Operation sections of this manual). 3.2.
Basic System Information Coastal 24 & 30 Ku-Band TVRO 3.2.4. Stabilization Your antenna is a “stabilized” antenna. Stabilization is the process of de-coupling the ships’ motion from the antenna. Simply put, this allows the antenna to remain pointed at the satellite while the boat turns, rolls or pitches under it. To accomplish this, the Pedestal Control Unit (PCU) on the antenna pedestal assembly senses the motion and applies drive to the appropriate motor(s) in opposition to the sensed motion.
Coastal 24 & 30 Ku-Band TVRO 3.3. Basic System Information Components of the System Configuration The following text provides a basic functional overview of the system components and component interconnection as referred to in the System Block Diagram for your model antenna (refer to the appropriate page which depicts your system configuration).
Basic System Information Coastal 24 & 30 Ku-Band TVRO 3.3.3. Power Supply DC Voltage - Power for the antenna is taken directly from the vessel’s 12 volt DC system for maximum power efficiency. At 13.8VDC the nominal current drain required by the antenna is 3.0 Amps. AC Voltage - An appropriate source of AC Voltage will also be required for the active matrix switch, satellite receivers and television monitors. Refer to the manuals for these devices for voltage and power consumption of each.
Coastal 24 & 30 Ku-Band TVRO 4. 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.
