Satellite reception antenna 60STV HD GEN 2 Europe, Middle East, South America SKY (replaces E93008-2)

The Raymarine 60STV HD Gen 2 antenna is designed to provide continuous access to satellite television whether your boat is at sea or moored. This system automatically identifies, acquires, and tracks compatible signals from all digital video broadcast (DVB) satellites.

The Raymarine 60STV HD GEN 2 antenna is available in variants suited to different regions. Model E70473 is specifically designed for Europe, the Middle East, and South America, supporting SKY signals.

This antenna is configured to receive linearly or circularly polarized signals, depending on the operating geographic zone. For example, Europe and the Middle East generally use linear polarization, while North America uses circular polarization.

Yes, the Raymarine 60STV HD GEN 2 (E70473) antenna is the model that replaces the previous reference E93008-2.

Yes, the product name includes 'HD', which indicates its compatibility with receiving high-definition satellite television signals.

The Raymarine 60STV HD Gen 2 satellite TV system is designed to automatically identify, acquire, and track compatible signals from DVB satellites, ensuring continuous reception even when the boat is in motion.

Polarization refers to the orientation of the radio waves used for satellite broadcasting. Different regions of the world use either circular polarization or linear polarization for DVB broadcasts. Each STV unit is configured to receive one of these signal types, and it is important that the antenna matches the polarization type used in your sailing area.

Before installing or using the product, it is imperative to open the housing of the antenna unit and remove the foam transport blocks from the unit's base. You must also lift the unit by its base and not by the cover or connectors to avoid any damage.

Yes, for optimal EMC performance, it is recommended to keep the antenna and its cables at least 1 metre (3 feet) away from any equipment transmitting radio signals (such as VHF radios) and more than 2 metres (7 feet) from the path of a radar beam.

To ensure optimal EMC performance and system reliability, it is strongly recommended to use the cables specified by Raymarine. Cables must not be cut or extended unless these operations are explicitly detailed in the installation manual.

When using the mounting template, it is essential to ensure it is printed at actual size. Before modifying the mounting surface, verify that the printed template matches the measurements indicated in the template document. To do this, Raymarine recommends using Adobe Acrobat’s print settings as specified, checking the page size, and selecting the appropriate print options for correct scaling.

No, it is strongly advised not to paint or apply any other finish to the antenna unit. This could degrade its performance beyond acceptable limits.

During installation, ensure the antenna's power source is properly protected by a fuse or appropriately rated circuit breaker. It is also recommended to power the product from a separate battery from the one used for engine starting to prevent erratic behavior and data loss.

Yes, this product complies with the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC and carries the CE conformity mark, attesting to its compliance with European Union regulations.

When moving the antenna unit, take care not to damage the connectors located under the antenna base. Never use these connectors to lift the unit.

Yes, the 60STV Gen2 models are compatible with dual or quadruple RF STV system configurations, allowing multiple satellite receivers (IRD) to feed several TVs onboard.

If your Raymarine equipment must be connected to other devices using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, it is essential to attach an EMI ferrite core to the cable near the Raymarine unit to maintain EMC compliance.

Yes, but if you change your operating area, you may need to modify your TV system. This includes adjusting the antenna's LNB head and updating regional settings. You will also need to ensure that your satellite receivers (IRD) are compatible with the DVB broadcasts of your new location.

Regional information updates and LNB head adjustments can be performed via the antenna control unit (ACU) or using a PC graphical user interface software, providing flexibility for adapting to navigation zone changes.

The installation and user documentation provided with the 60STV Gen2 system also covers the 37STV Gen2 and 45STV Gen2 models, indicating similarities in installation and operation procedures for this product range.
