Foreword
Congratulations on the purchase of your SMC55.
This manual will provide you with all the information you need about the installation,
use and maintenance of the system.
The SMC55 has been exclusively developed for use on inland waterways.
The system allows optimal enjoyment of the tremendous variety of radio and TV
programmes currently on offer via geostationary satellites, under way as well as in
port.
The use of high grade materials like stainless steel and durable plastics has been
maximised to ensure a long service life. Maintenance is also minimal, thanks to the
use of stepping motors and toothed belt transmissions.
WARNINGS AND REMARKS
All data is current at the time of going to press.
VISIOSAT shall not be liable in any
way for errors made during the drafting of this manual.
VISIOSAT retain the right to introduce any changes deemed necessary due to
product development and to introduce any necessary amendments to the installation,
to this user manual or to the products described in it, without prior notice.
Read this installation and user manual before using your SMC55 NAUTIC for the first
time. Carefully follow the instructions and take note of all warnings appearing on the
equipment and in this user manual.
Installation and service must be carried out exclusively by qualified persons.
There are no components within the installation which require service by the user.
Satisfy yourself that the wiring has been correctly connected before taking the
equipment into use.
Switch off and disconnect the power supply before carrying out any maintenance on
the system.
When opening the dome, bear in mind that that the dish antenna can move suddenly
and without warning unless the power supply is disconnected.
The dome must not be cleaned using a high pressure water jet. A soft damp cloth
with soap solution should be used instead.

In the event that the dome needs to be tilted due to the overall height of the vessel,
consult your dealer for input on cabling, power supply and further measures which
may be required.
For further information we would kindly request that you contact the specialist
supplier where you purchased the system, or contact us directly at:

1.1 SMC55 NAUTIC
The SMC 55 NAUTIC is packed in a strong plastic bag within a cardboard box
measuring 70 x 70 x 90 cm. The equipment can easily be lifted from the cardboard
box by two persons, using the strong plastic bag.
We request that you carry out the following checks before removing the packaging
: •The cardboard must not be deformed and must not display visible signs of
obvious and serious damage, such as rips in the box or dents caused by
impact.
•The VISIOSAT tape used to seal the packaging must remain intact.
1.2 Parts checklist
You should find the following components in the packaging:
Antenna dome (antenna unit in lower housing and dome)

2. Installation instructions
2.1 Determining installation position
Selection of location for installation of antenna dome
Various factors must be taken into account when selecting the correct installation
location for the antenna dome, these are summarised below:
•The ideal location will have a free line of sight in all directions.
•The antenna dome must be installed at the point where the three axes
intersect (roll, pitch and yaw motion).
•The external unit must be kept away from radar equipment as this can cause
interference; where no other location is possible it is recommended that the
antenna dome be installed a minimum of 1.5 metres below or above the radar
antenna.
•The substrate on which the antenna dome will be installed must be adequately
resilient and vibration free; in case of doubt we recommend that the substrate
should be reinforced with additional constructions.
Rule of thumb for reception of Astra 1 and 3:
An obstacle which is 3 metres away from the dome may be one
metre higher than the dome.
The rule of thumb assumes a minimal elevation of 20 degrees.
Table 1. Elevation of the dish versus geographical position for Astra 1 (19'2) and Astra 3 (23'5).

Selection of location for installation of control unit
The following instructions should be followed when selecting the location for the
control unit:
•The control unit may be installed in either a visible or a concealed location.
•We would however advise that the control unit should be installed in an easily
accessible location because of the potential need to install software updates.
•The control unit must not be installed in a damp or inadequately ventilated
space.
•Adequate space must be available at the rear of the control unit to allow
cables to be connected.
2.2 Installation of antenna dome and control unit
Once the location for the antenna dome has been decided the antenna can be
installed.
For a problem-free installation we recommend that you follow the procedure below:
•Check that the base plate where the antenna dome is to be mounted is level
and vibration free and can support a load of at least 22 kg.
•Before drilling fixing holes, check that there is sufficient room, taking account
of the dimensions of the antenna dome.
•When the ship is in a stable condition the surface should be parallel to the
water surface.
•The following drilling plan must be followed when securing the substructure of
the external unit, with account taken of the point where the cables emerge
from the antenna dome, and the maximal space occupied by the dome:

Where the SMC55 NAUTIC cannot be mounted from below using the M8 bolts and
lock washers supplied, it is possible to mount the drive from the inside.
NOTE! Remove the stainless steel screw thread holders from the drive feet with
an M8 bolt and nut before drilling out the holes.
The system can be secured from the inside if sufficiently long M8 stainless steel bolts
are used. With this installation method you will need to ensure that the galvanic
separation, provided by the plastic feet, remains intact.

Installation of control unit (MCM unit)
Once the location for the installation has been chosen the control unit can be
mounted. The MCM unit may be built in or attached to the mounting clamp provided.
If it is built in the MCM unit can be installed so that it is clamped in place.
If the unit is not appropriately sized for this, the 4 securing holes at the corners of the
front panel can be used for screw attachment.

Electrical connection to antenna dome
The SMC 55 NAUTIC must be connected to a 24 volt DC power supply. The current
drawn when connected to a 24 Volt supply is around 3 amps.
The (brief) switch-on current is appreciably higher and is dependent among other
factors on the supply cable installed.
It is advisable to use a galvanically separated supply.
The supply terminal "+" should be connected to the plug clamp marked "24VDC" and
the "-" terminal to the 0V plug clamp.
The 5-pole plug is to be connected to the MCM unit.
Note: the system can be switched on and off using a switch which makes and
breaks the supply circuit. This method of switching off will ensure that the system
is not permanently connected to the satellite.
The SMC55 NAUTIC is equipped as standard for the connection of 4 tuners with
unlimited channel reception. It is possible to connect more tuners with the use of a
switchbox. More information can be provided by your supplier.
