Raymarine 45 STV Satellite Television System - Owner’s Handbook How do I plan the installation?..Clear view of sky D7949_1 When choosing a location for the antenna, consider the following points: • Make sure you place it where there is an all round clear view of the horizon.
Power requirements You need to consider the following power requirements: • Your Raymarine 45 STV 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.
Raymarine 45 STV Satellite Television System - Owner’s Handbook 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) D7952_1 Installing the ACU The ACU should be installed below decks, in a position that is: •...
Page 15
Installation To install the ACU: 1. Select the installation site, ensuring that the proposed site meets the criteria described above. 2. Using the screws supplied fix the mounting brackets to the sides of the ACU. 3. Place the ACU in the position where it is going to be installed. 4.
Raymarine 45 STV Satellite Television System - Owner’s Handbook How do I install the antenna?..Preparing the antenna 1. Using a 5 mm allen key, remove the antenna dome retaining bolts and dome. Foam Foam restraint restraint 2. Remove the foam transit restraints from the antenna base.
Installation How do I connect the system cables?..Connecting the antenna 1.Pass the power/data cable through the access hole of the mounting plate and connect it to the power/data connector on the antenna base plate. It is good practice to coat the threads of all connector s Note: with a small amount of a suitable waterproof marine sealant prior to securing them.
3. Connect the DC power supply to the connector on the rear of the ACU. How do I configure the system?... Your Raymarine 45 STV Satellite TV system can be connected with up to four IRDs at the same time to receive pictures in different cabins offering the maximum choice of channels.
North American systems In order to connect three or four IRDs to the antenna, you will need to purchase an active multi-switch (Raymarine recommends the Channel Master 6314 IFD), and the necessary additional RF cables. The multi-switch has to be installed between the antenna unit and the IRDs as shown in the following diagram.

Page 21
Installation European systems In order to connect three or four IRDs to the antenna, you will need to purchase a suitable universal LNB multiswitch. The multiswitch has to be installed between the antenna unit and the IRDs as shown in the following diagram. You should connect to either the vertical or horizontal high and low pairs depending whether you want to watch channels that are vertically or horizontally polarized.
