1. Introduction

1.1. General Description of system

Your Series 00 system is a fully stabilized antenna that has been designed and manufactured so as to be inherently

reliable, easy to maintain, and simple to operate. Except for start-ups, or when changing to operate with different

transponders or satellites, the equipment essentially permits unattended operation.

1.2. Purpose

This shipboard Television Receive Only (TVRO) system provides you with satellite TV programming while inport or

underway. Your Antenna system will receive signals of adequately high E.I.R.P. levels (see the Specifications section of

this manual), in linear or circular polarization mode from any of the geosynchronous TV satellites at C-Band or Ku-band

frequencies (dependant upon currently installed feed assembly). This input will be distributed to all of your satellite TV

receivers which will provide the Audio/Video to your Televisions. Many satellites also provide CD quality audio

programming which may also be routed to your stereo equipment.

1.3. System Components

Your TVRO Antenna system consists of two major groups of equipment; an above-decks group and a below-decks

group. Each group is comprised of, but is not limited to, the items listed below. All equipment comprising the Above

Decks is incorporated inside the radome assembly and is integrated into a single operational entity. For inputs, this

system requires only an unobstructed line-of-sight view to the satellite, Gyro Compass input and AC electrical power.

Video and Audio outputs from your satellite receivers are available for distribution and monitoring.

For more information about these components, refer to the Basic System Information section of this manual.

A. Above-Decks Equipment (ADE) Group

1. Stabilized antenna pedestal

2. Antenna Reflector

3. Feed Assembly with LNB(s)

4. Radome Assembly

B. Below-Decks Equipment Group

5. Antenna Control Unit

6. 2 or 4 input Matrix Switch with desired number of outputs (one output to the ACU plus enough outputs for

the installed satellite receivers).

7. Satellite Video Receiver(s) & Television(s)

8. Control, RF and Video cables

1.4. General scope of this manual

This manual describes the Sea Tel Antenna (also called the Above Decks Equipment), its’ operation and installation.

Refer to the manual provided with your Antenna Control Unit for its’ installation and operating instructions.

1.5. Quick Overview of contents

The information in this manual is organized into chapters. Operation, basic system information, installation, setup,

functional testing, maintenance, specifications and drawings relating to this Antenna are all contained in this manual
