Satellite reception antenna 33 STV New Zealand (replaces E42220)

The Raymarine 33 STV antenna (reference E70455) is a satellite TV reception system designed for marine use. It provides access to hundreds of digital TV channels by automatically identifying, acquiring, and tracking signals from compatible digital video broadcast (DVB) satellites.

The 33 STV system automatically identifies, acquires, and tracks signals from compatible digital video broadcasting (DVB) satellites. This ensures stable reception of digital TV channels whether the vessel is at sea or docked.

The 33 STV antenna supports two types of signal polarisation:

Linear polarisation: For areas such as Europe, Australia, New Zealand, China, and the Middle East. Circular polarisation: For North America. It is important to note that a system configured for linear polarisation cannot receive circularly polarised signals, and vice versa.

The 33 STV system is compatible with signal reception in the following regions:

For linear polarization: Europe, Australia, New Zealand, China and the Middle East. For circular polarization: North America.

Yes, the Raymarine 33 STV antenna, part number E70455, replaces the previous model E42220.

This antenna is designed for recreational marine environments and workboats not subject to IMO (International Maritime Organization) and SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) regulations.

Yes, the 33 STV system complies with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations and carries the CE marking, attesting to its conformity with European Directive 2004/108/EC.

No, it is strongly advised against painting or applying any other finish on the antenna unit. This could degrade its performance beyond acceptable limits.

At end of life, the antenna must be processed in accordance with the WEEE Directive (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment), which requires the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.

No, the Raymarine 33 STV system is designed to automatically identify, acquire, and track signals from compatible digital video broadcast (DVB) satellites without manual intervention.

Yes, before installing or using the product, you must open the antenna unit cover and remove the foam packing inserts from the base of the unit.

During installation, ensure the power source is adequately protected by a fuse or appropriately rated circuit breaker.

When lifting the antenna unit, always use the base plate. Do NOT lift the unit by the antenna cover or by the connectors located under the base plate, as this could cause damage.

For optimal EMC performance, Raymarine cables should be:

Fitted with suppression ferrites if supplied, which must be reinstalled if removed. Not cut or extended unless specified in the installation manual. If non-Raymarine cables are used, a suppression ferrite MUST be attached to the cable near the Raymarine unit.

The 33 STV system is supplied with the following cables:

R08321: A 10-metre power cable used to connect the ACU to the DC power supply. R08257: A 3-metre RF cable used to connect the ACU and the integrated receiver-decoder (IRD).

For optimal EMC performance, Raymarine equipment and connected cables should be:

At least 1 meter (3 feet) away from any equipment transmitting radio signals (e.g., VHF radios, cables, and antennas). For SSB radios, this distance must be increased to 2 meters (7 feet). More than 2 meters (7 feet) away from the path of a radar beam.

The 33 STV system includes the following components:

The antenna unit.The antenna control unit (ACU).An installation kit (including bolts, flat washers, spring washers, and self-tapping screws).The necessary cables (power cable and RF cable).

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

If your geographic location changes, you may need to:

Adjust the low-noise block (LNB) of the antenna for the new area. Replace your control card, ACU software, and satellite receivers (IRD). For full details on modifying your geographic operating zone, it is recommended to contact Raymarine product support.
