1. Introduction

The TS-series antenna brings high quality satellite television to your vessel. The TVRO TS-series

antennas are compatible with DVB-S2 an the MSAS (Multiple Satellite Auto Switching) function

inclu ing 22 KHz Tone, DiSEqC, an DirecTV settings allows automatic switching between Foxtel &

VAST set top boxes an also are compatible with Foxtel IQ boxes. The TS-series is a competitively

price antenna that is base on the same technology as the TrackSAT UltraTrack UT-series (TVRO),

provi ing exceptional tracking ability, an is i eal for private an smaller vessels.

TS-Series Features

• Attitude Heading Reference

system(AHRS) using an IMU sensor

(3 axis gyro scope, 2 axis acceleration)

• High performance stabilization in

rough weathers

• Honest axis system - Stabilized

azimuth and elevation with a skew

unit

Stabilized skew system guarantees

perfect searching and tracking

• Automatic skew control

• Antenna control unit displays

heading value without gyro

connection using AHRS derived from

inverse kinematics technology

• Ready for gyro compass connection

for faster and more stable satellite

• Tracking 6 sec of unwrap time

• Compatible for DVB-S2

• Provides over 80 satellites parameters

• DiSEqC 1.2, 22K tone & Direct TV function available

• (automatic satellite switching using receiver up to 4 satellites)

• DSP(Digital Signal Processor) control technology

• High gain reflector

• Built in GPS

2.1 Product Components

① ADU (Above Deck Unit)

- the stabilize platform: contains the majority of

har ware

- PCU (Pe estal Control Unit): controls electronics,

movement system, an RF equipment

- RF Unit: receives optimum satellite signal from the

satellite

- Ra ome: ultra-efficient plastic ra ome

provi es minimal loss an protect from

marine environment

② BDU (Below Deck Unit)

- The BDU controls the

stabilize antenna an consists of the

UltraTrack TS-series interface (ACU)

2.2 Safety Precaution

 ADU mo ule is seale unit. This unit shoul be close un er any circumstances.

 The antenna ra ome assembly shoul be rigi ly mounte on the boat. If necessary,

reinforce the mounting area to assure that it oes not flex ue to the boat’s motion or

vibration.

 Environmental: must operate in controlle environment (temp, altitu e, ust, vibration,

corrosive, explosive free)

 EMC (elective magnetic compatibility): to ensure the antenna system provi es the highest

protection against interfering. The antenna shoul be in front of a ra ar beam.

 Cable must be shiel e an all equipment must be covere

 During the lifting, the system has to be balance . Swaying or ropping the ra ome

assembly may cause personnel injury or amage to the system.

2.3. Unpacking

① Place the shipping box on a rigi , levele surface.

② Inspect shipping box an note any amage.

③ Lift the unit out of the crate carefully

④ Move the antenna to its operating location (Using great care)

⑤ When you have the antenna in its permanent location, remove the securing materials (zip-

tie, shipping foams an fixe bolt) which keeps the antenna from free moving while in

transit.

Warning:

- Do not turn the box upside down and roll, it may cause the damage to the antenna.

- Always lift the antenna unit by the baseplate to avoid damage.

- Do not supply the power before removing the securing materials. It may cause the damage

to the system.

- When the antenna needs to be relocated, the securing material must be re-installed to

prevent damage from free moving while in transit.

2.4 Selecting nstallation Site

The following shoul be kept in min when selecting a physical location on the vessel for the

antenna equipment:

2.4.1 ADU (Above deck Unit: antenna Unit)

① Visibility: the TS39 nee s clear line of sight to the satellite for the most vessel hea ing.

Choose a location where masts or other structures o not block the satellite signal from

the ish as the boat turns.

② Vibration: high vibration will effect in re ucing its performance. Choose a location a far

Figure 5

hipping constrains

from vibrating equipment as possible.

③ Cable runs: locating the ADU close to the radio room creates much easier installation.

④ Interference: the antenna should be installed in the beam of other transmitting antenna

which ma generate signals with the potential to interfere. The further awa the UltraTrack

TS series antenna is from these other antennas, the less likel is it to be affected b their

operation.

⑤ Heat source: the antenna assembl unit has to be well awa from engine (exhaust gas/

flare).

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 automaticall run on the power up and also operation is largel automatic but it is

desirable that it be monitored periodicall . Therefore, it is beneficial that it be sited in a location

with eas operator access.

ACU should be installed in a radio room where:

- In a cool and dr location

- In a place that not susceptible to magnetic interference LCD displa is visible and the

buttons are easil accessible

2.5 Mounting and Installing the Antenna

Once antenna mounting site (on the power tower

or separate antenna post) is identified, make

mounting holes and cable access hole on the

mounting surface. (see Figure – 8 and Appendix F

- Mounting Hole La out) and follow these steps

for proper installation.

Figure 8

–

Mounting pattern

2.5.1 Preparing Mounting Surface

① Clean the surface where the antenna to be mounte

② Mark the 4 bolting holes position an center point for cables hole on the mounting surface.

(see Figure – 9)

③ Make 4 bolt holes on the surface by using the power rill with 11mm rill bit.

④ Make cable hole at the center position by using the power rill with 100mm hole-saw.

⑤ Remove sheet metal particle an clean the surface.

Figure 9 – Preparing the Mounting urface

2.5.2 nstalling the Antenna

① Lift the system onto its supporting post an position the antenna base plate in place in

position over the mounting holes an cable access.

② Ensure the ra ome is pointing correct

irection - align the BOW label on the

bottom plate with the ship’s bow an is

parallel to the vessel’s center line. (see

Figure – 10)

③ Insert the flat an spring washer an a

mounting bolt to each mounting holes

aroun the base plate of the ra ome.

(see Figure -11)

④ Apply Loctite to the threa s of the

mounting bolt up near the mounting

surface an tighten each 4 bolts to 20

lb-ft (27 N-m) torque [use an 17mm socket or open-en wrench]. (see Figure – 11)
