Cables
Before installing the system cables, you need to take the following points
into consideration.
y All cables need to be well clamped and protected from physical damage
and exposure to heat and humility.
y Cable with an acute bends is not allowed.
y Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead,
a watertight gland or swan neck tube should be used.
Power requirements
You need to consider the following power requirements:
Intellian i3/i4 has been designed to work on a boat’s power supply
rated from 10.8~15.6 V DC.
If your boats power supply is rated at 24V DC you will need to install a
suitable DC power inverter to reduce the supply voltage to 12V DC.
If your IRD(s) and television(s) require a 220/240V AC power supply, you
will need to install a suitable DC to AC converter to operate the units from
your boat’s DC power supply.
Extending the cables
The cables that have been supplied with your system should be of adequate
length to complete the installation on most boats. However, should it be
necessary to extend a cable the following points should be considered.
Power Cable
This cable supplied at a length of 10m.
RF Cable
This cable is supplied at a length of 15m. If a longer length is required you
should replace this cable with the extended RF cable which is supplied by
Intellian Technologies.
The indicated cable lengths should not be exceeded as resulting in reduced
performance of your system.
