Direct Broadcast Satellite Overview Direct Broadcast Satellite Overview

Direct Broadcast Service (DBS) satellites broadcast audio, video and data information from satellites located 22,000 miles in space. A receiving station, such as the antenna, should include a dish and satellite receiver to receive the signals and process them for use by the consumer audio and video equipment. The system requires a clear view of the satellite to maximize the signal reception.

Figure 1-2 Satellite Blockage

Objects such as tall lighthouse, bridges and big ship that block this view will cause a loss of signal. The signal will be quickly restored once the antenna has a clear line of sight again. Heavy rain, cloud, snow or ice may also interfere with the signal reception quality. If the satellite signal is lost due to blockage or severe weather condition, services from the receiver will be lost (picture will freeze frame and may disappear). When the satellite signal strength is again high enough, then the receiver will resume providing desired programming services.

Preparing for the InstallationPreparing for the installation

Install Tools and Materials

The antenna system is designed for simple installation and setup. However, the following list of equipment or items should be available during installation of the antenna.

■ Electric drill and drill bits
- Socket wrench
■ Silicon sealant
■ Fastener suitable for specific application

1. Verification of the Vessel's Power Supply.

- Confirm that the vessel's power supply is 12VDC\~24VDC.

2. Verification of the Satellite Receiver and IDU's attachment and the electricity supply

■ Attach Satellite Receiver and IDU in the interior of the vessel or the trunk.
■ Connect the power of Satellite Receiver and IDU.
■ Once the power of Satellite Receiver and IDU is verified, it confirms that both Satellite Receiver and IDU are working normally.

3. Procedure of the satellite's attachment and installation.

  • Attach the satellite on the flat surface area of the vessel’s roof.
  • Connect each end of the Coaxial antenna cable to the satellite's terminal and the IDU.
    ■ Connect the IDU and the Satellite Receiver box together through the coaxial cable.
    ■ Make sure that the satellite is working normally, once the power is supplied.

MEGASAT Shipman WSTA-VM250P - Procedure of the satellite's attachment and installation. - 1

Warning : Things to consider when installing the antenna.

■ Turn off the power when attaching or detaching the antenna.
■ Make sure that the attached satellite is fixed on the flat surface.
■ When attaching, ensure that all the products are adhered properly.
■ Ensure that all the cables are connected properly.

Selecting the location

Determine the optimum mounting location for the antenna radome assembly. It should be installed where:

  1. The antenna has a clear line-of-sight view to as much of the sky as is practical. Choose a location where masts or other structures do not block the satellite signal from the dish as the vessel turns.
  2. The antenna is at least 5 feet away from other transmitting antennas (HF, VHF and radar) that may generate signals that may interfere with the antenna. The further away the antenna is from these other antennas, the less impact their operation will have on it.
  3. Direct radiation into the antenna from vessels radar, especially high power surveillance radar arrays, is minimized. The radome should be as far away from the vessels Radar as possible and should NOT be mounted on the same plane as the vessels Radar.
  4. The antenna radome assembly should be rigidly mounted to the vessel. If necessary, reinforce the mounting area to assure that it does not flex due to the vessel motion or vibration.

If these conditions cannot be entirely satisfied, the site selection will inevitably be a “best” compromise between the various considerations.

Perform a through site inspection on the roof for the antenna to be mounted.

  1. The antenna must have a clear view of the sky and the horizon at all the directions to avoid blockage of the satellite signal.
  2. The antenna should be on the top of the vehicle.

Figure 2-3 Satellite signals

Signals transmitted in vertical(red) and horizontal(blue) wave offset exactly 90^ from each other. Since linear satellite signals are oriented in a precise cross pattern, Free Way 1S antenna's receiving element, called an LNB (low-noise block) must be oriented in the same way to optimize reception. This orientation adjustment is referred to as the LNB's “skew angle.” Figure 1-4 illustrates how skew determines the amount of signal the LNB collects. The more signal, the better reception.

Receiving Satellite TV SignalsReceiving Satellite TV Signals

Television satellites are located in fixed positions above the Earth's equator and beam TV signals down to certain regions of the planet. To receive TV signals from a satellite, you must be located within that satellite's unique coverage area. To check it, see "Appendix B –

Satellite Coverage Map" In addition, since TV satellites are located above the equator, the antenna must have a clear view of the sky to receive satellite TV signals. Anything that stands between the antenna and the satellite can block the signal, resulting in lost reception.

Common causes of blockage include lighthouses, boat masts, trees, buildings, and bridges. Heavy rain, ice, or snow might also temporarily interrupt satellite signals.

Turning the System On/Off Turning the System On/Off

Since power to the antenna system is controlled by the IDU, you can turn the antenna on or off by applying/removing operating power to the IDU.

Turning on the System

Follow the steps below to turn on your antenna System.

  1. Make sure the antenna has a clear view of the sky.
  2. Turn on your satellite TV receiver and TV.

  3. Apply operating power to the IDU.

  4. Wait one minute for system startup. The IDU will display the Tracking Satellite screen after system testing is complete.

Turning off the System

Follow the steps below to turn off your antenna System.

  1. Remove operating power from the IDU.
  2. Turn off your satellite TV receiver and TV.

Changing ChannelsChanging Channels

If you have followed the installation instructions, your system should be set to the satellite of your choice and the system should have downloaded the appropriate channel guides. When the antenna system and satellite receiver is properly configured, it is easy to change the channel using the remote control that normally comes with the receiver unit.

Watching TVWatching TV

The antenna is designed to operate as efficiently and as reliably as possible when the vessel is moved and anchored. It is also the quickest satellite acquisition system available among the antennas. If you have anchored the vessel and the antenna has completed to searching selected satellite, turn off IDU Power to avoid unnecessary use of power. Because the LNB receives its power from the Satellite Receiver through the IDU, the antenna will continue to receive the satellite TV signals.

Switching between Satellites Switching between Satellites

You can switch between satellites using the IDU by pressing Satellite select buttons. Follow the steps below to switch to another satellite.

  1. Ensure that the LCD screen of the IDU is displayed.

There are a number of common issues that can affect the signal quality or the operation of the antenna system. The following sections address these issues and potential solutions.

Simple check....

Causes and Remedies......

Simple checkSimple check

Can the antenna see the satellite?

The antenna requires an unobstructed view of the sky to receive satellite TV signals. Common causes of blockage include trees, buildings, bridges, and mountains.

Is there excessive dirt or moisture on the antenna dome?

Dirt buildup or moisture on the dome can reduce satellite reception. Clean the exterior of the dome periodically.

Is it raining heavily?

Heavy rain or snow can weaken satellite TV signals. Reception should improve once the inclement weather subsides.

Is everything turned on and connected properly?

Make sure your TV and receiver are both turned on and set up for the satellite input. Finally, check any connecting cables to ensure none have come loose.

Is the antenna's LNB set to the correct skew angle? (Manual Skew Ver. Only)

To optimize reception, the antenna's LNB needs to be set to the correct skew angle for the satellite you want to track. See "Appendix A – How to set the skew angle" for details

Causes and Remedies Causes and Remedies

Receiver Fault

Your satellite TV receiver might be set up incorrectly or defective. First check the receiver's configuration to ensure it is set up for the desired programming. In the case of a faulty receiver, refer to your selected receiver's user manual for service and warranty information.

Satellite Coverage Issue

Television satellites are located in fixed positions above the Earth's equator and beam TV signals down to certain regions of the planet (not worldwide). To receive TV signals from a satellite, you must be located within that satellite's unique coverage area. See “Appendix-B Satellite Coverage Map”

Satellite Signal Blocked

The Antenna needs a clear line of sight (LOS), view to the satellite for uninterrupted reception. Objects such as tall lighthouse, bridges and big ship that block this view will cause a loss of signal. The signal will be quickly restored once the antenna has a clear line of sight again. Heavy rain, cloud, snow or ice may also interfere with the signal reception quality. If the satellite signal is lost due to blockage or severe weather condition, services from the receiver will be lost (picture will freeze frame and may disappear). When the satellite signal strength is again high enough, then the receiver will resume providing desired programming services.

Satellite Frequency Data Changed

If some channels work, while one or more other channels do not, or if the antenna cannot find the selected satellite, the satellite's frequency data might have changed. You can visit any WIWORLD-authorized dealer or distributor for assistance or visit http://www.wiworld.co.kr

Improper Wiring

If the system has been improperly wired, the antenna will not operate correctly. Refer to the User Manual for complete system wiring information or visit website (http://www.wiworld.co.kr)

Loose Cable Connectors

We recommend periodically checking the antenna unit's cable connections. A loose cable connector can reduce signal quality or prevent automatic satellite switching using the receiver's remote control. Fasten the cable connector.

Appendix A

How to Set up the Skew Angle

Signals transmitted in vertical and horizontal wave offset exactly 90^0 from each other. Since linear satellite signals are oriented in a precise cross pattern, the antenna's receiving element, called an LNB (low-noise block) must be oriented in the same way to optimize reception. This orientation adjustment is referred to as the LNB's “skew angle.” The correct skew setting varies depending on your geographic location, since the orientation of your antenna to the satellite changes as you move. This appendix provides how to set up the skew angle.

Appendix B Satellite Coverage Map

Television satellites are located in fixed positions above the Earth's equator and beam TV signals down to certain regions of the planet (not worldwide). To receive TV signals from a satellite, you must be located within that satellite's unique coverage area.

Satellite Coverage MapSatellite Coverage Map

Satellite TV broadcast spot beams are aimed at land masses where the bulk of subscribers can be found. Thus, the signal strength decreases as you travel away from the land masses. The further you travel offshore you will require a larger size antenna. Although this information is believed to be correct, WIWORLD Technologies has no control over the variations on the actual satellite footprint coverage. Signal strength and reception can be affected by the weather conditions.

Environmental precautions: Do not empty into drains / surface water / ground water.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Remove mechanically. Dispose of contaminated material as waste according to Chapter 13.

Reference to other sections: See advice in chapter 8

SECTION 7: Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Hygiene measures: Do not eat, drink or smoke while working. Wash hands before work breaks and after finishing work.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Ensure good ventilation/extraction. Temperatures between + 10 °C and + 25 °C

Specific end use(s): 1-Component sealant

SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection

Control parameters: None

Exposure controls:

Engineering controls: Ensure good ventilation/extraction.

Respiratory protection: Suitable breathing mask when there is inadequate ventilation.

Hand protection: Chemical-resistant protective gloves (EN 374). Suitable materials for short-term contact or splashes (recommended: at least protection index 2, corresponding to >30 minutes permeation time as per EN 374): Polychloroprene (CR; >=1 mm thickness) or natural rubber (NR; >=1 mm thickness) Suitable materials for longer, direct contact (recommended: protection index 6, corresponding to >480 minutes permeation time as per EN 374): Polychloroprene (CR; >=1 mm thickness) or natural rubber (NR; >=1 mm thickness) This information is based on literature references and on information provided by glove manufacturers, or is derived by analogy with similar substances. Please note that in practice the working life of chemical-resistant protective gloves may be considerably shorter than the permeation time determined in accordance with EN 374 as a result of the many influencing factors (e.g. temperature). If signs of wear and tear are noticed then the gloves should be replaced.

Eye protection: Protective goggles

Skin protection: Wear protective equipment.

Advices to personal protection equipment: Use only personal protection that's CE-labelled according to the regulation no. 819 of 19 August 1994.
