Installation  
Introduction  
This section deals with installing and connecting your Rayma-  
rine HD-ACU which is compatible with both 45 and 60STV  
systems.  
EMC installation guidelines  
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the  
best industry standards for use in the recreational marine  
environment.  
Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Elec-  
tromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct  
installation is required to ensure that performance is not compro-  
mised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they  
will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand  
what factors could affect the operation of the product.  
HD programming  
In order to receive High Definition programming from the  
DirecTV 110 West satellite, your satellite TV system requires an  
HD-ACU. The HD-ACU comes as standard when you purchase  
the following system packs:  
The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum  
EMC performance, but it is recognized that it may not be  
possible to meet all of these conditions in all situations. To  
ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within  
the constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the  
maximum separation possible between different items of elec-  
trical equipment.  
E93013 - 45STV HD System pack.  
E93014 - 60STV HD System pack.  
If you already own a Raymarine Satellite TV system, you can  
upgrade your system by doing the following  
Purchase an HD-ACU - Raymarine Part No. R08255.  
Remove the standard ACU from your system and replace it  
with the HD-ACU.  
Run cables according to the diagram on Pages 9 or 11  
depending on your needs. The RF1 cable will have to be  
connected to the HD-ACU in either case.  
Set the satellite pairs to those listed below:  
Your HD-ACU has the following pre-set satellites pro-  
grammed into the software:  
For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wher-  
ever possible:  
Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:  
At least 3 ft. (1m) from any other equipment transmitting  
or carrying radio signals. In the case of Single Side Band  
(SSB) radio, the distance should be increased to 7 ft.  
(2m).  
Sat A - DTV 101 and Sat A* - DTV 119  
Sat B - DTV 101 and Sat B* - DTV 110#  
More than 7 ft. (2m) from the path of a radar beam. A  
radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20  
degrees above and below the radiating element.

Raymarine Satellite TV Systems  
The equipment is supplied from a separate battery to that  
used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V, and starter  
motor transients, can cause the equipment to reset. This will  
not damage the equipment, but may cause the loss of some  
information and may change the operating mode.  
Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining  
these cables can compromise EMC performance and must  
be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation  
manual.  
Suppression Ferrite  
If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should  
not be removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during instal-  
lation it must be reassembled in the same position. Always use  
the ferrites supplied by Raymarine.  
Connections to other equipment  
If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equip-  
ment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression  
ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable near to the  
Raymarine unit.

Satellite switching  
The satellite receiver has the ability to switch satellites automati-  
cally using a DiSEqC signal.  
Technical tips  
1. Only the Master receiver has the ability to change the satel-  
lites automatically - this receiver should be HD compatible.  
The Master receiver can change satellites between DTV101,  
DTV119 and DTV110#. Any other receivers in the system do  
not have the ability to change the satellite being tracked, only  
watch the channels on the current satellite, i.e if the Master  
receiver is tracking DTV101, then all the remaining receivers  
in the system can only watch channels on DTV101.  
2. During the setup of your HD receiver, you should select the  
option that states “Oval Dish with 3 LNBs”. This will tell the  
receiver that it will have to be able to look for three satellites.  
3. During setup, the receiver will look for each of the three  
DirecTV satellites. Since your HD-ACU is set up with two  
satellite pairs, you will have to carry out a manual button  
press during this section of the setup procedure. The test will  
check for DTV101 and you will get an OK. It will then check  
for DTV119, and you will again get an OK. As it begins  
searching for DTV110# you will have to manually press the  
Sat B pair on your HD-ACU. The receiver will then be able to  
locate DTV110#.  
As you change channels on the television, the receiver will send  
a DiSEqC signal when another satellite is required.  
The receiver is able to switch between Sat A and Sat A* or Sat B  
and Sat B*, but you cannot automatically change from the Satel-  
lite A pair to the Satellite B pair.  
For example, if you are watching a channel on Sat A (DTV101)  
and decide to change the channel, the new channel may be on a  
different satellite. If the channel is on a different satellite, the  
receiver will send the DiSEqC signal and tell the antenna to  
switch to Sat A* (DTV119).  
If an HD channel on DTV110# is requested, you will have to  
manually press the Sat B button on the HD-ACU. This will  
change the satellite pair to Sat B and Sat B*. As you change  
channels now you have the option to switch automatically  
between DTV101 and DTV110#.To return to the Satellite A pair,  
simply press the Sat A button on the HD-ACU.  
In the installation that uses a multi-switch, a DiSEqC supplier is  
required if three DirecTV satellites are used. This additional  
accessory is required because the multi-switch does not allow  
the DiSEqC signal to pass properly. Since the signal cannot  
pass, there is no satellite switching. In this case you could only  
track two satellites - Sat A and Sat B - and it would require a  
manual button press on the HD-ACU to switch satellites. Since  
some systems use three satellites, the DiSEqC supplier is  
required.  
4. Once setup is complete, the receiver will begin downloading  
the guide. As this occurs the receiver will tell the HD-ACU  
when to switch satellites. Since the receiver can only switch  
between the main satellite and the DiSEqC satellite - Sat A  
and Sat A* or Sat B and Sat B* - the guide will be likely to  
only download channels from two of the three satellites at  
this time. The channels from the third satellite will populate  
the guide over a period of time. This period of time can be as  
little as 20 minutes or extend to several hours.You will not be  
able to watch all of the channels until the guide is fully  
populated.
