airflow to prevent the receiver from over-heating and provide forced airflow if needed. At each receiver
location, leave a sufficient length of cable to remove the receiver in order to access its rear panel without
pulling connections off of the rear panel.
4.2. Equipment and cable installation
Refer to the System Block Diagram for component interconnection information.
The system is comprised of two major sections: The
Above-Decks Equipment (ADE) is comprised solely
of the antenna radome assembly which is mounted
outside, on the boats’ upper deck or mast location
chosen for best satellite reception. The Below-
Decks Equipment (BDE) includes a matrix switch,
the antenna control panel, satellite receiver(s), TV
set(s) and all other ancillary equipment that is
mounted in various locations throughout the interior
of the boat.
There will be an Antenna Control Cable between the
ADE and BDE. This cable supplies the operating
voltage to the antenna and allows you to setup and
operate the antenna from the Antenna Control
Panel. The panel also constantly displays the status
of the antenna.
Coax cables between the ADE and BDE provide the
received satellite signals from the antenna to the
matrix switch. The matrix switch then distributes
these satellite signals to the satellite receiver. The
satellite receivers convert the satellite signals to
provide audio and video to your television and/or stereo.
You must install 4 coaxes between the ADE and BDE if you intend to have a Quad (4 output) LNB installed
on your antenna at any point in time. Usage of this LNB is very popular in Europe.
If you will only have a dual output LNB installed (linear or circular) you will only need to have 2 coaxes
between the ADE and BDE.
The coax connector bracket inside the radome has colored heat-shrink on the coaxes that go through the
pedestal. The functional assignment of these colors is:
BLUE - Low Band Vertical
GREEN - High Band Vertical or RHCP
WHITE - Low Band Horizontal
RED - High Band Horizontal or LHCP
NOTE:
The
RED
coax connection MUST go to the
18VDC
port of your Matrix switch. This must be the High
Band Horizontal input of your
four
port Matrix switch when using a Quad LNB, OR to the LHCP port of your
dual input Matrix switch when using a circular LNB.
NOTE:
Unused coax connections (on the connector bracket) MUST be terminated with a 75 ohm
terminator (two are provided).
