Satellite antenna 33 STV Europe

The Raymarine 33 STV Europe antenna is designed for automatic reception of satellite TV at sea. The system can identify, acquire, and track compatible signals from digital video broadcast (DVB) satellites, providing access to hundreds of TV channels.

This antenna is specifically configured for linear polarization, making it suitable for regions such as Europe, Australia, New Zealand, China, and the Middle East.

The Raymarine 33 STV Europe antenna is configured for linear polarization. This means it is designed to receive signals transmitted horizontally and vertically.

For full functionality of your STV system, you must subscribe to the relevant services with the appropriate satellite providers.

No, this antenna version is configured for linear polarization. Satellites covering North America transmit circularly polarized signals, which are not compatible with a system configured for linear polarization.

The « 33 » in the product name indicates that the antenna has a 33 cm diameter.

Yes, before installing or commissioning the product, it is imperative to open the antenna unit cover and remove the transit foam packing inserts from the base of the unit.

For optimal performance and to comply with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) directives:

The equipment and its cables must be at least 1 metre (3 feet) away from any equipment transmitting radio signals (e.g., VHF radios, cables, and antennas). The distance must be increased to 2 metres (7 feet) for SSB radios. The equipment must be more than 2 metres (7 feet) away from the path of a radar beam.

No, it is strongly discouraged to paint or apply any other finish on the antenna unit. This could degrade its performance beyond acceptable limits.

When lifting the antenna unit, it is crucial to grasp it by its base plate. Do not lift it by the antenna cover or the connectors located under the base to prevent any damage.

The system comes with two types of cables:

The R08321 cable (10 m): It is used to connect the Antenna Control Unit (ACU) to the DC power supply. The R08257 cable (3 m): It is used to connect the ACU to an Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD).

Yes, when installing this product, the power supply must be properly protected by a fuse or an appropriately rated circuit breaker.

Yes, it is recommended to use the cables specified by Raymarine. Additionally, any suppression ferrites present on the cables must not be removed or modified, as they are important for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance.

If your Raymarine equipment must be connected to another device using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable near the Raymarine unit.

Yes, Raymarine equipment and accessories comply with the relevant electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations for recreational marine environments. Correct installation is required to ensure EMC performance is not compromised.

The STV system will receive signals from the selected satellites in the specified geographic areas. A subscription to the relevant satellite service providers is required for full functionality.

If you change geographic zones, you may need to adjust the low-noise block (LNB) of the antenna and potentially update your control card, ACU software, and satellite receivers (IRD). For full details on modifying your operational geographic zone, contact Raymarine product support.

To register ownership of your Raymarine product, you can fill out the warranty registration card provided in the box or visit the website www.raymarine.com and register online. Registration is important to ensure full warranty benefits.

The Raymarine 33 STV equipment is designed for use on recreational boats and workboats that are not subject to International Maritime Organization (IMO) and International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations.
