Safety notices WARNING Product installation This equipment must be installed in accordance with the instructions contained in this handbook. Failure to do so could result in poor product performance, personal injury and/or damage to your boat. 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.
TV system provides uninterrupted television access to hundreds of TV chan- nels in all types of weather conditions. On the open sea or at the dock, the Raymarine Satellite TV system auto- matically identifies, acquires and tracks compatible signals from all digital video broadcast (DVB) satellites.
Television reception For full functionality of your Raymarine Satellite TV system, it is necessary to subscribe to the relevant service(s) from the appropriate service provider(s). Full details of service providers can be found in “Satellite service providers” on page 62.

What does a typical system look like? Power Note: Satellite receivers, televisions and subscription services must be purchased separately. Raymarine Satellite TV Antenna Power/Data cable cable Satellite Receiver (IRD) Antenna Control Unit Television D7944_1...
Always use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine. Connections to other equipment If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable near to the Raymarine unit.
• 4 x Spring washers. System cables Your Raymarine STV package also includes the following cables: • RO8134 - 15 m Power and Data cable - used for connecting the antenna and ACU. • RO8133 - 10 m Power cable - used for connecting the ACU to the DC power supply. (45STV models only).

Power requirements You need to consider the following power requirements: • Your Raymarine Satellite TV system has been designed to work on a boat’s power supply rated at 12 V DC. • If your boats power supply is rated at 24 V DC you will need to install a suitable DC power inverter to reduce the supply voltage to 12 V DC.
Power and data cable This cable is supplied at a length of 15 m. If a longer length is required you should replace this cable with Raymarine Part No.E96007 - 30 m Power/Data cable. Power cable This cable is supplied at a length of 10 m.
Raymarine Satellite TV Systems How do I install the ACU?... ACU dimensions The dimensions of the ACU are shown below: 160 mm (6.3 in) 195 mm (7.67 in) 224.6 mm (8.84 in) D9275_1...
Installing the ACU The ACU should be installed below decks, in a position that is: • dry. • well ventilated. • easily accessible. • near your main TV viewing area. The ACU should be installed using the two fixing brackets supplied. These brackets can be placed on the sides of the unit to provide a top or bottom fix.
The bolts should be tightened to a torque of 30 Nm (22.1 ft.lb.) to ensure that the foam Foam sealing ring is compressed to restraint prevent water ingress. D7954_1 D7955_1 Raymarine Satellite TV Systems...
4 RF port connectors. Which type is fitted depends on your area of operation and the antenna model. The models are: Raymarine 45STV system All antennas are fitted with a 2 RF port connector baseplate. Raymarine 60STV system Regions with circular polarization North America, South America (DirecTV) - 2 RF port connectors.
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.
Twin IRDs You can connect two IRDs to your antenna as shown in the following diagram.However, only one of the IRDs can be configured as a two satellite receiver. The other IRD needs to be configured as a one satellite receiver. The two satellite receiver determines which satellite is tracked, while the other receiver can watch any channel which is available from the tracked satellite.
North American systems and South America (DirecTV) In order to connect three or four IRDs to the antenna, you will need to purchase an active multi-switch with 2 satellite ‘in’ ports (Raymarine recommends the Channel Master 6314 IFD), and the necessary additional RF cables.
Page 23
North American systems - DirecTV This version of a multi-switch installation uses a DiSEqC supplier - Raymarine Part No. A96014 - and enables you to change the satellite being tracked as you change channels using the IRD master instead of the ACU.

4. For each output required, connect an RF cable from an OUT connector of the signal splitter to the LNB or ANT connector of the individual IRD units. Raymarine Satellite TV Systems 5. Terminate any unused connections with a suitable 75 Ohm DC termi- nator block.

To connect more than 4 IRDs you will need to install a suitable active multi- switch between the antenna and the IRDs. RF 4 IRD 2 IRD 4 Connect the multiswitch in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Raymarine Satellite TV Systems RF 1 RF 2 POWER RF 4 RF 3 Antenna...
Connecting your satellite TV system to an NMEA0183 GPS Note: This applies to Raymarine 60 STV systems only. Rear view Using the 9 pin connector supplied, you can connect your satellite TV system directly to you boat’s NMEA 0183 GPS system for improved tracking accuracy.
