2. Installation 2.1 Product Components ① ADU (Above Deck Unit) the stabilized platform: contains the majority of hardware PCU (Pedestal Control Unit): controls electronics, movement system, and RF equipment RF Unit: receives optimum satellite signal from the Figure 1 - Radome satellite Radome: ultra-efficient plastic radome provides minimal loss and protect from... -
Page 7: Required Tools
2.1.2 Required Tools Figure 4 – Required Tools 2.2 Safety Precaution ADU module is sealed unit. This unit should be closed under any circumstances. The antenna radome assembly should be rigidly mounted on the boat. If necessary, reinforce the mounting area to assure that it does not flex due to the boat’s motion or vibration. -

Figure 7 – Site Selection Example 2.4.2 BDU (Below deck Unit: ACU) The ACU (Antenna Controller Unit) will arrive with the TrackSAT control software pre-installed and will automatically run on the power up and also operation is largely automatic but it is desirable that it be monitored periodically. -
Page 10: Preparing The Mounting Surface
2.5.1 Preparing Mounting Surface ① Clean the surface where the antenna to be mounted ② Mark the 4 bolting holes position and center point for cables hole on the mounting surface. (see Figure – 9) ③ Make 4 bolt holes on the surface by using the power drill with 11mm drill bit. ④... -

Figure 11 – Securing the Antenna Do not over-tighten. If the mounting bolt provided is too short, you will have to install mounting bolts of the appropriate length. If the bolt provided is too long, the excessive length should be cut off. 2.6 ADU Cable Connection Before starting the electric connection task, find the suitable location for laying the cables from BDU to ADU. -

Page 14: Connecting The Ship Gyro
2.8 Connecting the Ship Gyro (optional) Your system is able to track the satellite without having ship gyro. Although your system can be operate without the ship gyro, user may directly connect vessel’s ship gyro to the antenna system when internal GPS is inoperative or to enhance the antenna’s searching capability that receiving vessel’s heading data will accelerate the searching speed by minimizing the searching range. -

Page 22: 4-D. Directv Mode
b. 22KHz Tone Mode (for multi IRD configuration) In this mode, the antenna switches between two satellites Sat A & Sat B by the 22KHz method. In the normal operation the antenna searches for the ‘SAT-A’ and then, if the ACU receives the 22 KHz tone via the ‘receiver’ port of the AUC back panel, the ACU commands the antenna to search ‘SAT-B’. - Page 23 Figure 30 – Satellite Parameter Edit...

Page 24: Skew Angle Setting
Auto Mode In the Auto mode, the ACU displays the skew angle calculated by the PCU. The TS series default skew mode is auto. The TrackSAT automatically changes the skew angle when the targeting satellite is changed. b. Manual Mode... -
Page 25: Satellite Name Edit
c. Trim You can optimize the default skew angle of currently tracking satellite to find a higher signal level, when desired satellite has polarity offset (Optus D3 & C1have a polarity offset) . First of all, change the skew angle where antenna can get higher signal than before in the manual mode. -
