FCC and INDUSTRY CANADA INFORMATION TO THE USER:

The FCC and Industry Canada have imposed the following conditions when operating, installing and deploying iNetVu ® Mobile Earth Stations and is mandatory for all installations made within the Continental United States and Canada as well as Hawaii,

Alaska, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and other U.S. Territories. The FCC requires that a certified installer perform the installation. It is also strongly recommended that a qualified professional RV dealer/installer mount the system on your vehicle.

These conditions are also required by C-COM for all other installed locations.

All iNetVu ® Mobile earth station installers must be C-COM Certified, and must have specifically acknowledged the requirements for iNetVu ® Mobile installations, which are as follows:

1. “Installation” is the physical mounting and wiring of the Satellite provider’s earth station on a vehicle or other stationary site in order to prepare for correct operation. Only Certified C-COM iNetVu installers may perform the installation and removal of an iNetVu ® Mobile system.

2. “Deployment” means the raising, pointing and orienting of the earth station to the communicating satellite, every time it is raised from a stowed position for use.

The deployment of an iNetVu ® Mobile system must only be done by a trained installer or by a consumer using the deployment software.

3. Installers shall install the iNetVu ® systems only in locations that are not readily accessible to children and in a manner that prevents human exposure to potential radiation hazards.

4. For large vehicles with roof mounts, the height of the bottom lip of the earth station when fully deployed must be at least six feet above the ground at all times, or six feet above a surrounding surface which a person may easily access.

5. If a roof access ladder or any other means of access to the roof is installed on the vehicle, then the ladder or access must be blocked by a suitable rope or other barrier while the earth station is deployed or in operation. The installer must provide this rope or barrier directly to the end user at the time of installation and advise the user to use it at all times when the earth station is deployed or in operation. Warning signs shall also be provided by the installer to the end user to be posted on the improper installation or due to the failure to provide required information to the end user.

6. Installers and end users will be deemed directly liable for any damages resulting from either of their failure to comply with the above rules. These rules are meant to ensure that extraordinary precautions and measures are used to prevent satellite interference or exposure to harmful radiation. C-COM reserves the rights to immediately suspend without liability or previous notice the operation of the earth station upon detection of a deviation from its installation or operational requirements until the deviation is corrected. In addition, C-COM reserves the right to suspend or cancel the Installer Certificate of any installer that has not fully complied with these installation requirements.

C-COM Satellite Systems Inc. Page 5 of 166

7. Further, the installer and end user may be directly liable for any damages resulting from any change undertaken by either of them. Including but not limited to, any modification of any part of the hardware, software, specific operational frequencies, the authorized satellite, or the size or other characteristics of the earth station supplied to them by C-COM or C-COM’s authorized representatives. Warning signs shall be posted at prominent locations on the earth station informing all persons of the danger of harmful radiation from the earth station while it is deployed or while in operation.

8. The iNetVu ® Mobile system may only be operated when the vehicle is stationary.

9. The installer must inform the end user that the vehicle must be stabilized during the transmission, to prevent movement of the vehicle for any reason, including movement of persons on or off the vehicle, or high winds. The installer shall advise the end user how to appropriately stabilize their vehicle.

10. Installers shall be liable for all damages if they fail to comply with the above mandatory conditions. This includes, but is not limited to damages caused by

Note 1:

improper installation or due to the failure to provide required information to the end user.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with this instruction manual, may cause harmful interference with radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.

Note 2:

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

The letter “D” will appear to indicate Down Limit has been reached on the elevation axis

The letter “U” will appear to indicate UP Limit has been reached on the elevation axis

The letter S will appear to indicate the Elevation angle has reached the stow position

(Antenna Stowed).

The inclinometer used to read the elevation angle will compensate for an incline up to +/-

15º. For example if a user is on a 10º slope and the system is searching along the azimuth, if the elevation reading changes due to a horizontal incline, the elevation will adjust to maintain the correct elevation angle while searching along the azimuth.

2 – Current and Speed Settings

I/S

U

D

Real-Time current of the elevation motor is to the left of the dash, and speed constant of the elevation movement is to the right of the dash (i.e. 0-6 represents current of 0 at a set speed of 6).

The letter “U” will appear if there is an up movement on the elevation axis.

The letter “D” will appear if there is a down movement on the elevation axis.

3 — Search Window Elevation Limit

This value represents the amount of degrees the antenna will point above and below the calculated target elevation coordinate when searching for satellite. (S: 5 – implies elevation search window is

5º)

C-COM Satellite Systems Inc. Page 37 of 166

4 – Advanced Search Elevation Gap (El Adjustment)

When parked on an incline, azimuth movement can affect the Elevation angle. This happens because the azimuth is on a fixed plane parallel to the roof of the vehicle and the Elevation angle is relative to gravity. For example, at a very high incline, moving 20 degrees of azimuth could gradually drop (or raise) the elevation 3 degrees from the calculated target. Since this could cause you to miss the satellite, we stop the azimuth movement, re-position the Elevation to the target, then continue the azimuth sweep. The default value is 3 degrees of elevation change allowed before adjustment. Since these adjustments will increase the amount of time it takes to find the satellite, we recommend to park the vehicle on the most level surface available.

5 — Elevation Offset

The number of degrees at which the iNetVu ® Mobile Software will offset the reading from the

Inclinometer in order to produce an accurate (+/- 2°) Elevation Angle (e.g. O: 31 implies elevation offset of 31). These values initially default, and are set after target calibration is performed.

6 – Elevation of Compass Reading Status

Number of degrees that the Antenna requires to be elevated to ensure that the compass is level and is able to acquire an accurate compass reading (see Appendix 1 for default values).

7.6.1.3. AZ

The letter “L” will appear if there is a ‘left’ movement on the azimuth axis.

The letter “R” will appear if there is a ‘right’ movement on the azimuth axis.

(See Appendix for detail on default speed and current settings)

C-COM Satellite Systems Inc. Page 38 of 166

3 — Search Window Azimuth Limit

This value represents the amount of degrees the antenna will search for satellite along the azimuth axis to the left and right of the calculated target antenna azimuth coordinate when searching for satellite. (I.e. W: 60 implies 60º search to the left and right of the target antenna azimuth angle, totally 120º)

Note: system may overshoot by 10º from the set window limits and thus the displayed value will be off 10º on either side of the target angle.

4 – Z (AZ Zero)

AZ Zero is an A/D value from the potentiometer which physically determines where the iNetVu ®

Mobile Software places Azimuth Angle 0°. The AZ Zero may vary approximately +/-15% from the

Default values (see Appendix).

AZ Zero is calculated during the Azimuth Calibration process.

The letter “L” will appear if there is a ‘left’ movement on the polarization axis.

The letter “R” will appear if there is a ‘right’ movement on the polarization axis.

See Appendix 1 for default speed and current values.

3 — Polarization Offset

This value represents the offset in the polarization angle.

C-COM Satellite Systems Inc. Page 39 of 166

4 – Z (PL Zero)

PL Zero is a converted A/D value from the potentiometer and or a software generated fixed value from inclinometer that physically determines where the iNetVu

®

Mobile Software places

Polarization Angle 0°. The PL Zero may vary approximately +15% from the default values for the potentiometer (see Appendix 1) while the inclinometer will provide a more accurate reading with minimal variances.

The PL Zero is used to convert the A/D calculated value during the polarization calibration process.

Polarization calibration is not valid for platforms (980 and 1200 version 3.0+) and all platforms equipped with the inclinometer tilt sensor.

Automatically finds and locks onto the satellite signal by communicating with the Satellite Modem and using the GPS coordinates, the compass heading and internal parameters of the Satellite

Modem. Typically, it takes approximately 3-5 minutes to find satellite. The “Service Type” must be selected and “Update Beam Table” button applied for the correct Beam ID information to propagate when using HN_KA Modem Type.

If the Antenna is already pointed on the satellite, clicking Find Satellite will re-peak or re-deploy the Antenna onto the last satellite signal found. There are 5 configurable satellites in the 7000

Series Controller (S0-S4) and each is now capable of having 5 configurable beacon settings.

Press “Enter” onto the corresponding satellite, Beam Color or Beam ID to begin search.

Note: The Tooway service will display Beam Colors while the HN_KA and iDirect

Dual Beam Ka service will display Beam ID number.

2–Transmitter Enable (TE)



Antenna will move CW to a set point.

 Antenna will move back in the opposite direction to locate Stow switch.

 Antenna will attempt to locate the cut-off edges of the Azimuth Stow Switch and center itself.



After detecting at which angles the ST Switch turns OFF, the Azimuth zero position is calculated and the AZ Zero(Pot) is set at the zeroed A/D value.

5 – Polarization Calibration (PLC)

Performs a complete polarization calibration. On platforms with tilt sensors the system will complete a PL Zero point calibration and set the Zero point value. Tilt sensor must be levelled prior to running the Calibrate PL routine on system with

Polarization tilt sensors.

 Antenna will completely rotate counter-clockwise to the physical limit and temporarily record the A/D value from the Potentiometer.

 Antenna will completely rotate clockwise to the physical limit and temporarily record the A/D value from the Potentiometer.

 Based on the A/D values of the two (2) physical limits and the maximum range of motion for the Mobile Platform, the center angle is determined.

 Antenna will center itself and attempt to locate the cut-off edges of the Polarization Stow

Switch.



After detecting at which angles the ST Switch turns OFF, the Polarization zero position is calculated and the PL Zero is set at the zeroed A/D value.

6 – Compass Calibration (CPC)

Ensure that there are no metallic objects that could interfere with the Compass, and that the Mobile

Platform is on level surroundings.

Orient the Mobile Platform as depicted in the following figure. If Platform is vehicle mounted ensure front end (windshield window) is pointed north. It is recommended that you use an external compass to be as accurate as possible with the orientation.

Note: The New Generation Platforms (these include and not limited to ka-75V, 98H/98G/98V and 1201A) are equipped with newer versions of the compasses which are factory calibrated and do not require calibration in the field unless performed by C-COM support authorization only. Restore CP replaces the compass calibration on systems equipped with the newer compass version, these systems are identified by platform version. Please consult with C-

COM Technical support before running the compass calibration.

1 – Elevation Offset

The Elevation Offset is specific to each type of platform. See Appendix 1 for a list of all the elevation offset default values. It is the number of degrees at which the iNetVu ® Mobile Software will offset the reading from the Inclinometer in order to produce an accurate (+/- 2°) Elevation

Angle. The user may set the offset with the range of 15º-55º, although altering this number from its default value may give an inaccurate offset reading. This should not be tampered with without first consulting a C-COM Technical Support Representative.

2 –Speed Setting

S The user may configure the slow speed of the elevation movement. The slow speed is a basis for the satellite searching procedure.

3 — Advanced Search Elevation Gap (EL Adjustment)

With a configurable range of (2º-20º) this parameter is used to determine the small incremental adjustments required for a more accurate satellite search. Decreasing this value will add accuracy to the Search Window, but will increase the search time. This value is used while searching on an inclined surface. For instance A: 03 means the elevation angle will adjust if 3º gap from the calculated angle. This value is set by default for optimum performance.

4 – Limit Switches (L: EEE)

Allows the enabling and disabling of the UP, DOWN, and STOW limits respectively.

The first character (EEE) represents the UP limit. The second character (EEE) represents the

DOWN limit and the third character (EEE) represents the STOW limit. The user my change the limit configuration between:

D – Disable Limit

E – Enable Limit

This option disables UP, DN, and ST limits for testing and troubleshooting (i.e. DEE – represents disabled up limit, and enabled down and stow limit).

C-COM Satellite Systems Inc. Page 59 of 166

E – Enable Limit

Once enabled, the up, down and stow limits will be activated whenever the up, down, and stow sensors have been triggered on the iNetVu ® Mobile platform.

5 – Elevation Search Window

The Search Window is the area of the sky which the iNetVu

®

Mobile System will search for the desired Satellite. It uses a rectangular window and searches for the Satellite using smaller concentric windows until the desired Satellite is found. The Search Window range is pre-set by default for optimum performance; however this offset may be manually changed in the range of 2º-

20º.

Fig. 42:

Elevation Coverage of search window

The default Elevation (Vertical) range is 3° on each side of the Target Point.

Increasing the size of the Search Window will increase the ability to find the desired

Satellite, although increasing the Search Window will lengthen the search time.

The search window will expand from 3 to 5 if first search run fails to lock on satellite.

6 – Current Settings

A software controlled current protection for the Mobile Platform’s elevation motors. When any of the

Mobile Platform’s motors are moving at the associated speed, the current drawn to move the motor is monitored and should it exceed the Current Limit, an error message will appear. For Motor

Mobile Software places Polarization Angle 0. The potentiometer PL Zero may vary approximately +15% from the default values (see Appendix 1). The PL Zero is calculated during the

Polarization Calibration process. All New Generation platforms (981, 1201, 1200 Fly-Away and

1210 AC) are equipped with Tilt Sensors. PL Zero point calibration calculates and sets the Zero value for all platforms. The user may edit these values through this window, however any changes may result in failure to recognize the correct 0° angle. This parameter has a configurable range of

(50-500).

EE – Enable Skew Adjustment, Enable Polarization Stow limit

DE – Disable Skew Adjustment, Enable Polarization Stow limit

ED – Enable Skew Adjustment, Disable Polarization Stow limit

DD – Disable Skew Adjustment, Disable Polarization Stow limit

For an iNetVu ® 1200/1500/1800 Ku Mobile Platforms, the Polarization Stow Limit is constantly ON.

The Skew Adjustment will rotate the antenna on the azimuth axis 90° on each side of the peaked signal and then re-position on signal with an adjustment to the polarization for any inclined surface.

For 2 axial (movement on El and AZ) Ka Mobile Platforms DD the Skew and the Polarization Stow limit will always be disabled.

3 — Polarization Offset

By default this polarization-offset value is set to +0°. If there happens to be a requirement for a polarization offset in the satellite position, the user may manually enter this value in this area. This area is also updated automatically if the skew adjustment procedure recognizes inaccuracy in the target polarization angle. Misconfiguring this field will result in undesirable results.

4 –Speed Setting

S The user may configure the slow speed of the polarization movement. The slow speed is a basis for the satellite searching procedure. See Appendix 1 for details.

5 – Current Settings

Use Coordinates from GPS Antenna

Override GPS and use the coordinates entered (2) and (3). Enables the GPS coordinates to be manually overridden. This should only be enabled in the event that the GPS Antenna is malfunctioning and the user has a reliable, alternate source for coordinates.

Indicates a situation or practice that might result in property or equipment damage.

Note 1: If you have overridden the GPS coordinates, they will have to be updated if the

Mobile Platform has moved to a new location since the overridden values will no longer be accurate.

Note 2: Overriding the GPS will affect movement protection on all mobile platforms preventing them from automatically stowing if vehicle movement and/or severe motion are detected. If the vehicle drives off with the platform deployed, it will not stow as it should because the GPS is overridden. Moving vehicle GPS speed and location must reach min

5km/h and or Elevation angle changes by 2 or more degrees in order for the movement protection feature to trigger.

1-BC (iDirect TX Broadcast)

The 7000 Series Controllers can be configured to broadcast with iDirect service. This allows iDirect users with broadcast configured modems, to lock onto a DVB carrier, and enable the transmitter in the iDirect modem automatically after peaking through the 7000 Series Controller.

D – Disabled

E – Enabled

2 – ES_NO

The Maximum energy to noise of a modem or SNR signal that can be configured to save time during the satellite peaking routine. If Maximum ES/NO value reached the system will stop the peaking routine otherwise routine continues with the complete peaking process.

Modifying this parameter may inhibit satellite searching sequence and stop the peaking before the highest possible receiving signal is reached.

Only change this value if the highest Maximum ES/NO value is known otherwise leave at default value of

255 to achieve highest MAX ES/NO signal. This option will be disabled when Ref Sat is enabled.

3- Unattended Operation

The user may disable, or set the unattended operation to 5, 10, or 15 minutes. If the system detects motion it will wait 1min, if dish still on signal the system will re-acquire satellite, otherwise the dish will stow due to motion or movement, the system will automatically re-acquire satellite depending on the user entered delay time after stow. Initial stow will only wait 30 seconds no matter what the selected delay time is set to before re-acquiring satellite. For example, if the user selects 5 minutes from the drop down menu, and the system stows due to motion or movement while operational, on first stow it will only wait 30 seconds before re-acquiring satellite. The second stow system waits Five (5) minutes + 30 seconds before automatically reacquire the satellite signal. The routine uses the following formula: Waiting Time for re-acquire == 30S+

(retry times*selected delay time) default retry time at first stow is 0, second stow is 1, etc… until one (1) hour

(3600 seconds) reached.

DIS: Disabled

1: Re-acquire Satellite in 5 minutes

2: Re- acquire Satellite in 10 minutes

3: Re- acquire Satellite in 15 minutes

4 – Inclined Orbit (Sat_Inc)

Enabling this option will allow the system to maintain signal with an inclined orbital satellite. The user may select the time difference between each re-peak on the inclined orbital satellite without disabling the transmitter and maximizing on the signal strength. If signal strength drops before the re-peaking time is due, the system will automatically re-peak to maintain signal strength. Feature enhanced and will be used with regular Ka services to maintain strong signal when platform shifts.

DIS: Disabled

1: Re-peak every 10 minutes

2: Re-peak every 30 minutes

3: Re-peak every 1 hours

8.2.2.2. Search Parameters

The iNetVu controller supports DVB-S and DVBS2ACM carriers. The recommended method of satellite search is DVB using DVB-S/S2, followed by DVB reference satellite search with RF search being the last option of choice. If using RF search, a valid RF

frequency must be entered and is highly recommended; this can be the service frequency or any other valid RF frequency from a known carrier (preferably taken from

Modem parameters). If no valid frequency is known, than 10MHZ increments may be added to the lower range value until satellite acquisition. The tuner range frequency must be in the range of 950 MHz – 2150MHz.

Fig. 80:

Maintenance – Search Parameters

EL Window / AZ Window

The Search Window is the area of the sky which the iNetVu ® Mobile System will search for the desired Satellite. It uses a rectangular window and searches for the Satellite using smaller concentric windows until the desired Satellite is found.

The Search Window range may be manually changed from the default settings which iNetVu

®

uses to find the desired satellite.



Satellite Search Window

The default Azimuth (Horizontal) range is 60

 on each side of the Target Point and the default Elevation (Vertical) range is 3

 on each side of the Target Point.

Increasing the size of the Search Window will increase the ability to find the desired

Satellite, although increasing the Search Window will lengthen the search time.

Both search windows will be automatically expanded (AZ will increase to 90 and EL will be set to 5) if satellite signal is not found with the default search window settings.

Caution: system may overshoot by 10

 (on AZ Window) from the set window

limits.

C-COM Satellite Systems Inc. Page 96 of 166

EL Adjustment

Parameter used to determine the small incremental adjustments required for a more accurate satellite search. Decreasing this value will add accuracy to the Search Window, but will increase the search time. The elevation angle will adjust by the specified number of degrees from the calculated angle while searching on an inclined surface.

Search Method

DVB or RF search are selectable from the drop down window. DVB will search directly on DVB-S1 or DVB-S2 carrier and lock on it. DVB is the option of choice to use when searching for satellite. RF option will allow the user to base satellite searching and peaking strictly on RF instead of DVB. This method of searching could be used when the user is having a hard time finding the transponder data for a specific satellite, or if no transponder data exists. The controller will then peak on the modem signal when the satellite is found. RF search should be used as a last resort after DVB and or DVB with reference satellite.

RF Threshold

Used by the iNetVu ® Mobile Software to begin a signal optimization process for peaking on a Satellite signal after initially locating it. This field should only be used if the RF threshold is to be overridden. Ka Band systems with single TRIA cable will have the RF threshold set to 75 by default (service dependent), this allows the RF Signal to be in operation range (RF Signal==70 on iNetVu Controls window) thus allowing the search process to begin. The RF Threshold can also be manually set to any value ranging from

40 to 60 which will display the true value of RF Signal on the iNetVu Controls window.

Setting the RF Threshold to 30 will put the search into a step-through-search moving the

AZ axis in small incremental steps, this method increases the search time.

Fig. 83:

Maintenance – GPS Parameters

GPS Override Checkbox

Enables the GPS coordinates to be manually overridden. This should only be enabled in the event that the GPS Antenna is malfunctioning and the user has a reliable, alternate source for coordinates. If this box is checked, the GPS coordinates should be manually entered in the ‘GPS Latitude’, and the ‘GPS Longitude’ fields described.

**Note: If you have overridden the GPS coordinates, they will have to be updated if the Mobile Platform has moved to a new location since the overridden values will no longer be accurate.

Warning: Overriding the GPS prevents the movement protection feature from working properly, and will not stow the antenna if vehicle drives off, as neither speed nor GPS relocation can be detected. Moving vehicle speed must reach min

5km/h plus Elevation angle change of 2 degrees or more with GPS coordinates change in order for the movement protection feature to trigger.

Maintenance – Compass Parameters

Compass Reading Elevation Angle

Number of degrees that the Antenna requires to be elevated to ensure that the compass is level and is able to acquire an accurate compass reading.

Direction

The direction the front of the Mobile Platform is rotated in reference to True North. In order to override the compass, the user must know where true north is located to enter the direction.

Compass Offset

It’s the required adjustment to reorient the compass heading to the actual magnetic

North by taking into consideration the metal surrounding around the compass location on the Antenna platform. This value is calculated automatically by the iNetVu software once the system gets automatically pointed to the right satellite. User can manually override this value if required or as directed by C-COM support team .

Disable Auto Calibrate Compass Offset

If this option is unchecked the following will take place. Auto Calibration on compass occurs when the angle difference of 20 degrees or more is detected between AZ angle and System AZ Ref when the system finishes the satellite search routine and locks on signal. A compass offset value is than automatically entered and is used the next time a

Find Satellite command is triggered. When this option is checked, it will NOT Auto

Calibrate the compass offset.

C-COM Satellite Systems Inc. Page 99 of 166

Tips and Recommendations

Compass Issues?

If you are in an area where there is magnetic interference or the compass readings are incorrect, it is recommended to select Full Search which will also override the compass.

 Full Search == Override Compass

Selecting Full Search option will auto select Override Compass feature. See Full

Search option for more details.

Override Compass Checkbox

The Compass is pre-calibrated by a professional installer at the time of system installation or come pre-calibrated from the compass manufacturer.

A number of factors can contribute to the iNetVu ® compass to produce an incorrect reading such as being parked in close proximity to a large metallic object. Should the compass heading be inaccurate by more than 20 degrees, you may need to re-calibrate or Restore it (Mount Dependent), or select “Override Compass” option. Ensure that you are using a reliable alternate source to acquire the correct direction if such device is to be used, otherwise overriding compass will suffice for incorrect compass reading.

After enabling Override, you may enter the vehicle’s direction as indicated on your alternate compass. Keep in mind that the base of the iNetVu

®

Mobile Platform is oriented to the front of your vehicle (back of reflector and front of vehicle face the same direction) refer to orientation figures in this document. When taking the direction using the alternate compass, take the direction of your reading while facing the front of the vehicle, and use this orientation for the Vehicle Direction field.

Full Search

Performs a full 360º Azimuth search for the desired Satellite. This process may take up to 30 minutes to find and lock onto Satellite. Selecting Full Search will auto select

Override Compass and set the AZ Window to 180 or any other value (60 and above) depending on the Platform type. This value can be overridden to a more desirable range.

Override Compass can be selected without selecting Full Search but this does not hold true for the vice-versa.

Restricting a section of the Antenna search

Sometimes certain limitations are presented and the user must restrict or confine the search to a certain circumference area. This can be accomplished by the following:

I. Select Full Search and Send All.

II. Full Search selection will trigger Override Compass to be selected.

III. AZ window will default to 180 but this value can be adjusted.

IV. Select the virtual Direction that you would like in order to set the search starting point (AZ Ref on Controls screen). See Appendix for Direction to AZ Ref point.

8.2.2.4. Elevation Parameters

The Elevation menu allows for the configuration of the elevation axis. Options include the elevation offset, as well as the axis limit functionality, slow speed setting and current limits for slow speeds.

Fig. 87:

Maintenance — Elevation Parameters

The inclinometer used to read the elevation angle will compensate for an incline up to +/-

15º. For example if a user is on a 10º slope and the system is searching along the azimuth, if the elevation reading changes due to a horizontal incline, the elevation will adjust to maintain the correct elevation angle while searching along the azimuth Offset.

The Elevation Offset is specific to each type of platform. It is the number of degrees at which the iNetVu ® Mobile Software will offset the reading from the Inclinometer in order to produce an accurate (+/- 2°) Elevation Angle.

Slow Speed

The iNetVu ® software basis the default elevation motor slow speed on the platform size and type. See Appendix 1 for details. The user may change this value, however changing such value could result in difficulty accessing satellite acquisition.

8.2.2.6. Polarization Parameters

The Polarization menu allows for the configuration of the polarization axis. Options include the setting of (PL) Zero, skew adjustment and stow limit functionality, polarization offset, slow speed, and current limits for slow speeds.

Maintenance — Polarization Parameters

Fig. 89:

Zero

PL Zero is an A/D converted value from the Potentiometer and or a calculated value acquired from the Inclinometer Tilt Sensor which exists on all New Generation platforms and newer versions of the Legacy platforms. The Tilt Sensor is replacing the

Potentiometer which physically determines where the iNetVu

®

Mobile Software places

Polarization Angle 0. The Zero value may vary approximately +/-15% from the default values for all platforms using potentiometers (see Appendix 1). The Tilt Sensor provides better accuracy than the Potentiometer. The PL Zero is calculated along with PL offset during the Polarization Calibration process on platforms with Tilt Sensors and entering a calibrated value in the Zero field. The Tilt Sensor must be levelled prior to calibration to ensure the calculated PL Zero value that gets populated in the Zero field is accurate.

The Tilt Sensor calibration process is not valid on the following platform types with 2 axis

(Ka-75V, Ka-98H, 98G and Ka-98V) and button will be grayed out.

The user may manually calibrate and edit these values through this window; however any changes may result in failure to recognize the correct 0 location. See Appendix 1 for

Potentiometer and Tilt Sensor Zero default values.

C-COM Satellite Systems Inc. Page 108 of 166

Slow Speed

The iNetVu ® software bases the default polarization motor slow speed on the platform size and type. See Appendix 1 for details. The user may change this value, however doing so could result in difficulty for satellite acquisition.

Polarization Offset

By default this polarization-offset value is set to 0°. If there happens to be a requirement for a polarization offset, the user may manually enter this value in this area. This area is also updated automatically if the skew adjustment procedure recognizes an incline which will adjust the target polarization angle.

Low Platform Current

Low Platform Current is a software controlled current protection for the Mobile Platform’s polarization motors. See Appendix 1 for the default current limits for all iNetVu ® Mobile

Platforms.

Skew Adjustment (Enable Skew Adjustment)

The Skew Adjustment will rotate the antenna on the azimuth axis 90° on each side of the peaked signal and then re-position on signal with an adjustment to the polarization for any inclined surface. This box must be checked if the user wishes to enable this feature.

If left unchecked, the system will not do the skew adjustment.

Calibrate PL

Performs automated Polarization Calibration process. Platforms with Tilt

Sensors must ensure the Sensor is levelled prior to running the PL Zero point calibration. Calculates and populates zero value for PL offset. i. Antenna will completely rotate counter-clockwise to the physical limit and temporarily record the A/D value from the Potentiometer. ii. Antenna will completely rotate clockwise to the physical limit and temporarily record the A/D value from the Potentiometer. iii. Based on the A/D values of the two (2) physical limits and the maximum range of motion for the Mobile Platform, the PL Stow switch location is calculated. iv. Antenna will center itself and attempt to locate the cut-off edges of the Polarization Stow Switch. v. After detecting at which angles the ST Switch turns OFF, the

Polarization zero position is calculated and the PL Zero is set at the zeroed A/D value.

5 different satellite parameters are configurable allowing users to configure and save for easy access. Priority order must be followed when saving, Satellite no first and all other parameters afterwards. If “Configure File” is enabled (selected) Satellite and DVB parameters can be saved all at once.

Longitude

Orbital slot / Longitude of the desired Satellite. The Find Satellite command will use this value when attempting to find and lock onto a satellite signal.

(Offset) Sat Pol Offset

Denotes Transmit Polarity and may be altered to accommodate any offset ranged -180

 to +180

 generally in North America and most areas around the world.

Not applicable on 2 axis platforms such as Ka-75V (A0755A) and Ka-98h/G/V (A0985)

980/740 Platforms – Sat Pol Offset = 0 considering OMT is adjusted manually. (See

Platform Setup and Maintenance Manual for instructions on how to adjust the OMT based on polarity)

Only RX Polarity is referenced for the Pol Offset field allowing both Cross-Pol and Co-

Pol to work with setting the Pol Offset to 90 or 0 depending on the Receive Polarity required. Rx = V = 90 (feed/OMT position flat) and Rx = H = 0 (feed/OMT position

standing up) for Cross-Pol and Co-Pol.

C-COM Satellite Systems Inc. Page 113 of 166

Use the following as reference for Sat pol Offset:

Receive is vertical and Transmit is vertical – VV = 90

Receive is horizontal and Transmit is horizontal – HH = 0 e.g. 1) Receive is Vertical and Transmit is Horizontal (VH) — The offset entered

should be 90, thus VH = 90. e.g. 2) Receive is Horizontal and Transmit is Vertical (HV) – The offset entered

should be 0, thus HV = 0.

Depending on the service along with the Longitude selected this will automatically be filled and will not be configurable; Eutelsat Satellites polarization angle will update to the correct offset value depending on desired Skew angle. User must enter 0 or 90 depending on Vertical(Y) or Horizontal(X) polarization reference in the Offset field and click on the SEND ALL. e.g. 1) Longitude Satellite = 4.0 E

Manual Offset value entered = 90

Calculated Offset value = 93.5 e.g. 2) Longitude Satellite = 4.0 E

Manual Offset value entered = 0

Calculated Offset value = 3.5

Refer to Eutelsat Polarization Skew Angle Satellite(s) document for more information.

LNB Power (V)

In cases where the LNB requires more power than the modem can provide, or if the user would like to power the LNB from the controller, or if the user would like to find satellite without the use of a modem, this option allows for power from the controller to be supplied to the LNB through the RX IN cable from the controller to the platform itself.

DIS – will disable this option, and provide power to the LNB straight from the modem. In this case, a splitter must be used for the RF connection as depicted in the figure below.

Fig. 92:

RF Cable Setup for DIS selection

C-COM Satellite Systems Inc. Page 114 of 166

7000 Series Controller Power Output Range Option Capabilities: 13, 14, 18, 19 V @

This drop down menu allows the user to define the functionality of the serial interface on the iNetVu ® 7000 Series Controller. The following are the Interface options to select from:





DEBUG

MODEM

— Used for internal debugging purposes.

— Used as a communication medium if the specified modem

supports serial interface communication. To communicate with a

Modem via Console, “MODEM” must be selected from the COM

drop down menu, and the proper baud rate of the modem must

be entered as well from the BAUD drop down menu.

 GPS_Out — Used for GPS output data gathering.

 BEACON — Used to establish communication with the iNetVu BR300L

Beacon Receiver.

 GLONASS — Used for External Glonass GPS option.

 PC — Used for COM serial port communication between the PC and

Controller.

BAUD (bps)

The user may define the bit rate of the serial communication interface.

Inclined Orbit (Re-peak Time)

Enabling this option will allow the system to maintain signal with an inclined orbital satellite. The user may select the time difference between each re-peak on the inclined orbital satellite without disabling the transmitter and maximizing on the signal strength. This feature has been modified to support Ka platforms’ that shift off signal due to shifting ground and or environment conditions. The inclined mode routine will exit its operation once the Stop button is depressed leaving the configuration selection enabled.

DIS: Disabled

1: Re-peak every 10 minutes

2: Re-peak every 30 minutes

3: Re-peak every 1 hours

4: Re-peak every 2 hours

5: Re-peak every 3 hours

6: Re-peak every 4 hours

7: Re-peak every 6 hours

8: Re-peak every 8 hours

9: Re-peak every 12 hours

Max ES/NO

The Satellite peaking routine will stop at the set value of the SNR signal thus reducing the peaking time after reaching the highest set value. Modifying and or misconfiguring this parameter may inhibit satellite searching sequence and stop the peaking before reaching the highest possible signal. Only change this value if the highest Maximum

ES/NO value is known to the user otherwise leave at default value of 255 to ensure

C-COM Satellite Systems Inc. Page 122 of 166 peaking is performed at the highest signal. This field is grayed out when Reference

Satellite is enabled and default value set to 255.

Transmit DC Enable (iDirect only)

Allows user to disable the DC power supplied by the modem to the BUC after TX enable is sent to modem. This allows power to be supplied by an external power source and hence bypassing the modem. Transmit DC Enable is checked by default and by unchecking it would disable DC supply from modem and allow the user to control DC power supply to the BUC .

Enable iDirect Broadcast (iDirect only)

The 7000 Series Controllers can be configured to broadcast with iDirect service. This allows iDirect users with broadcast configured modems, to lock onto a DVB carrier, and enable the transmitter in the iDirect modem automatically after peaking through the 7000

Series Controller.

Motion Protection

The iNetVu

®

Mobile Platform will automatically stow the antenna should it experience extreme motion, such as severe shaking caused by harsh weather conditions. Box selected implies Motion Protection is enabled.

Movement Protection (not a selectable option)

The movement protection option is always enabled and is embedded into the controller.

System will stow automatically when vehicle begins to drive off. The movement protection feature will not function properly if the GPS is overridden because movement protection relies on change of GPS speed (min 5 km/h) plus a change of 2 degrees or more on Elevation. Overriding GPS will omit this feature and antenna stowing due to movement will not occur.

Disable ACP (Hughes Ku Only)

This checkbox allows the user to enable or disable the ACP process for the HNS supported modems. If this box is selected, the modem will not perform ACP and will try to enable the transmitter automatically after peaking. If this box is NOT selected, the controller will attempt to perform an ACP after peaking on satellite and before enabling the transmitter.

Automatic TX Disable

If this checkbox is selected, the controller will automatically disable the transmitter if a reset is done to the modem during transmission and communication between the controller and modem is re-established.

C-COM Satellite Systems Inc. Page 123 of 166

BEEP

This checkbox is used to either enable or disable the beeping noise when navigating the

LCD interface on the iNetVu ® 7000 Series Controller. Selected option implies beeping sound is enabled unless D (disabled) is selected.

D – Beep Disabled, the sound will be completely removed.

L – Beep Enabled, a beeping sound will occur every 2 seconds.

M – Beep Enabled, a beeping sound will occur every 1 seconds.

H – Beep Enabled, a beeping sound will occur every 500 milliseconds.

Unattended Operation

This drop down menu represents the Unattended Operation Functionality. The user may disable (deselect), or enable (select) and set the unattended operation to 5, 10, or 15 minutes. If the dish is stowed due to motion or movement (GPS location change combined with speed of 5 km or more) the system will automatically re-acquire satellite depending on the user’s entered delay time after a motion stow. Initial stow wait time is

30 seconds, than the selected times become valid from the second stow onwards. For example, if the user selects 5M from the drop down menu, and the system stows due to motion or movement while operational, Five (5) minutes plus 30 seconds after automatically stowing, the system will try to re-acquire the satellite signal. System will

NOT re-acquire satellite if system was stowed due to movement detection.

7000 Series Controller Web Interface

Another method of communicating remotely with the 7000 Controller is through the web interface. It has the ability to communicate with the Satellite Modem, automatically find and lock onto a satellite and stow the antenna when completed. The user can also monitor real-time system parameters such as Signal Strength, GPS Coordinates, motor currents, as well as allowing the user the capability of manually moving the antenna and performing any maintenance tests and calibration tasks. Controller Firmware upgrade and reset (power cycle) is now possible without touching controller front panel (via the web interface (must be running minimum bootloader 7.5.3.0+ version for reset feature).

The site name of the controller will appear in the browser tab if one is entered.

The Web Interface is similar to the 7000 Software, the difference being that it is accessed through a web browser by entering the controllers IP (i.e. 192.168.0.2) address in the URL address bar once a network connection has been established between the controller and the PC. Note some function(s) may not be available in Web interface i.e. Download Log File.
