1. Introduction

This manual describes the Sea Tel Model TSC-10A Touch Screen Controller. Operating instructions, system

information, installation, setup, functional testing and maintenance for the TSC-10A are also contained herein.

This Touch Screen allows you to monitor and control the Sea Tel Stabilized Antenna Pedestal through the Antenna

Control Unit that it is connected to.

The TSC-10A is only compatible with the DAC2202 and DAC2302 Antenna Control Units.

The TSC-10A also MUST be properly connected to an ACU that has full communication with the Antenna

before it boots up its operating system.

1.1. General Description of system

The TSC-10A Touch Screen Controller provides a user friendly graphic interface which you will use to

remotely monitor and control the Sea Tel Stabilized Antenna and its Antenna Control Unit. It has been

designed and manufactured so as to be inherently reliable, easy to maintain, and simple to operate. Except

for start-ups, or when changing to operate with different transponders or satellites, the equipment

essentially permits unattended operation.

The TSC-10A will be connected to the Antenna Control Unit and becomes part of your Below-Decks

Equipment (BDE) group.

The following text provides a basic functional overview of the system components and component

interconnection as referred to in the System Block Diagram(s) for your model antenna.

Television Receive Only (TVRO) Systems are comprised of two major sections: The Above-Decks

Equipment (ADE) is comprised of the Sea Tel antenna & radome assembly which is mounted outside, on an

upper deck location chosen for best satellite reception. The Below-Decks Equipment (BDE) includes the

Antenna Control Unit and will have satellite receiver(s), TV set(s) and all other ancillary equipment that is

mounted in various locations throughout the interior of the ship.

1.2. General scope of this manual

This manual describes the Sea Tel Model TSC-10A Touch Screen Controller, its’ operation and installation.

Refer to the manuals provided with your Sea Tel Stabilized Satellite Antenna, and its Antenna Control Unit,

for installation and operating instructions for those equipments.

1.3. Quick Overview of contents

The information in this manual is organized into chapters. Operation, basic system information, installation,

setup, functional testing, maintenance, specifications and drawings relating to this TSC-10A Touch Screen

Controller are all contained in this manual

2.2. Home Page

Once the system has been properly configured, the Home page provides all of the most frequently needed

information and most frequently used buttons. The screen will go blank(sleep mode) if it has not been

touched for one hour. Blanking of the display extends the life of the LCD panel itself. You can tell when

sleep mode is enabled by observing an illuminated power light, touching anywhere on the screen will

restore the previously viewed page. When power has been turned OFF the display will be blank AND the

power light will be extinguished. The Home Page can be accessed from any other menu location by

pressing the HOME button located on the bottom right side of the screen in all pages except the home

page.

System Status -The Status Bar provides the Pedestal Model, Pedestal (PCU) Status and system Status.

Azimuth, Relative and Heading Graphic -Relative and Heading values from the ACU are displayed in

graphic form. The graphic is comprised of an antenna centered on an overhead outline of a ship, which is

surrounded by a true North compass rose. This indicates where the bow of the ship is pointed in reference

to true North (based on the Heading input from the ships Gyro Compass). The Antenna position is indicated

in two references; Where it is pointed relative to the bow of the ship (Relative) and where it is pointed in

reference to true North (Azimuth).

Elevation Graphic -The Elevation graphic indicates where the antenna is currently pointed in elevation.

The elevation angle will be between 00.0 degrees (horizon) and 90.0 degrees (zenith).

Signal Level Graphic -The current AGC and Threshold values from the ACU are used to update this

histograph. The AGC value is displayed in both numeric and graphic forms. The graphic form of AGC is

Amplitude (vertically) and Time (horizontally) to provide the short term history of the AGC value. The

amplitude of the AGC LEVEL and the Threshold value, are graphically displayed. Whenever AGC is greater in

value that the Threshold setting, vertical AGC lines will be blue, indicating that a good satellite signal level is

being received. When the AGC value falls below the current Threshold value the vertical AGC lines will

change color to red, indicating that the satellite signal is too low.

Presets Favorite Satellites -Five Preset buttons can be configured to be your “Favorite Satellites” from

the Satellite – Presets menu. To target a satellite, or switch from the satellite you are on to another, you

simply touch the desired Preset satellite button you want and then touch the Enter button.

You can create Presets for different feed configurations (Interchangeable LNBs) or for different geographic

areas that you periodically travel to.
