Intellian strongly recommends to restrain the antenna pedestal properly while underway when power is removed from the antenna. The normal operating condition for the t110W/t130W is to remain powered up at all times.
INSTALLING THE ANTENNA Antenna Dimensions The method of installation and mounting of the antenna may vary with vessel design but the following procedures are applicable in most situations, and will result in a secure and effective installation. Confirm the height and diameter of the antenna before installing it.

– Marine Satellite Television System Installing the System Cables The coax cables must be inserted through the cable strain relief(s) at the base of the radome. The cables must be routed from the antenna through the deck and through various ship spaces to the antenna control unit. When pulling the cables in place, avoid sharp bends, kinking, and the use of excessive force.

When all the hardware and cables have been installed, turn on the power switch. Use an RG11 rubber gland if you’re using an RF11 cable instead of an RG6 cable supplied by Intellian.
