              Raymarine Satellite TV Systems

Connecting the ACU

          

          

To connect the antenna control unit:

1. Connect the power and data cable to the connector on the rear panel 

of the ACU.

2. Connect the RF cable to the connector on the rear panel of the IRD.
3. Connect the DC power supply to the connector on the rear of the ACU.

How do I configure the system?...

Your Raymarine Satellite TV system can be connected with multiple IRDs at 
the same time to receive pictures in different cabins offering the maximum 
choice of channels. The following section shows the different combinations 
available and their connections. In all cases the ACU must be connected to 
the power/data connector of the antenna base plate.

Systems with 2RF connector baseplate

Single IRD

This is the basic method for connecting your Raymarine Satellite TV system

          .

The RF cable from the antenna base plate should be connected to ‘LNB’, 
‘ANT’ or ‘Satellite In’ on the rear panel of the IRD.

          

CAUTION

In-line fuse

If you do not have a breaker in the power circuit, an in-line 5 A 
quick blow fuse should be fitted to the positive (white) lead of 
the power cable.
