Raymarine 37 STV Europe Gen 2 B4 satellite antenna

The Raymarine 37 STV Gen2 Europe (E70457) antenna is designed for digital satellite TV reception at sea. It is part of the Raymarine satellite TV systems and can automatically identify, acquire, and maintain tracking of compatible DVB signals.

Yes, this antenna is specifically configured for regions using linear polarization, such as Europe. It optimizes DVB signal reception in these geographical areas.

Yes, the Raymarine satellite TV system, which includes the 37 STV Gen2 antenna, automatically identifies, acquires, and tracks compatible signals from DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) satellites.

Yes, to access television channels and use all features of your STV system, you must subscribe to the relevant services with the appropriate service providers.

No, it is imperative not to apply any additional paint or finish to the antenna housing. This could degrade its performance beyond acceptable limits.

LNB stands for 'Low Noise Block'. It is a component of the antenna that receives satellite signals and converts them for processing by the receiver. For sailors changing geographic zones, adjusting the LNB unit may be necessary to ensure optimal performance.

Yes, the Raymarine satellite TV system is designed to provide constant access to TV channels whether the vessel is at sea or docked, by automatically identifying, acquiring, and tracking compatible DVB signals.

Before installing or using the product, you must open the antenna unit housing and remove the transport foam blocks from the base of the unit.

For optimal EMC performance, careful planning is required. It is recommended to maintain safe distances from other equipment, use the cables specified by Raymarine, and ensure suppression ferrites are in place.

Maintain a distance of at least 1 meter (3 feet) from VHF radio equipment, their cables, and antennas. For SSB radios, the distance must be increased to 2 meters (7 feet). Keep the antenna more than 2 meters (7 feet) away from a radar beam path.

The power supply must be protected by an appropriate fuse or circuit breaker. Ideally, the power supply should come from a battery separate from the one used for engine starting to prevent erratic behavior or data loss.

Yes, when lifting the antenna unit, always grasp it by the base to avoid damaging the cover or the connectors. Do not use the connectors under the base to lift the unit.

It is recommended to use the cables specified by Raymarine, which may be equipped with suppression ferrites. If you connect the equipment to other devices with a cable not supplied by Raymarine, an anti-interference ferrite must be attached near the Raymarine unit.

A mounting template is usually supplied with the product or available in the technical documentation. It is important to ensure the template is printed at full scale before modifying the mounting surface.

No, the Raymarine 37 STV Gen2 Europe antenna is configured to receive linearly polarized signals, commonly used in Europe. Regions such as North America typically use circular polarization.

If you change your operating area, you may need to adjust the LNB (Low Noise Block) of the antenna and update the regional information via the ACU (Antenna Control Unit) or a PC running the GUI software.

For full functionality, ensure your satellite receivers (IRD) can operate and receive DVB signals in your new geographic location. The antenna is designed for compatible DVB signals.

Regional antenna information can be updated using your control unit (ACU) or a PC running the graphical user interface (GUI) software.

For any maintenance or component replacement, it is imperative to use Raymarine-certified technicians to ensure compliance and proper operation of the device.
