Coastal 18 Ku-Band TVRO Operation
6 Search Wait - Indicates that a signal has been detected and the antenna is peaking the signal
level.
7 NID HHHH EL ## - Will be displayed whenever a satellite signal is found. This message is
comprised of Network ID and the Elevation for the satellite being targeted or which satellite has
been found. HHHH is the 4 digit HEX value of the Network ID reported by the Satellite
Identification Receiver in the PCU. If satellite information has been previously saved and
matches the satellite found, the system will immediately go into TRACKING mode and display
this information. If this is NOT the desired satellite the system will continue searching by
displaying “Search Next UP” or “Search Next DN”.
8 Search Next UP - Will be displayed whenever the system conducts a search for the next
satellite UP (CW/Right) from the satellite location it was previously at. This search may be
initiated automatically or when the operator presses the NEXT key.
9 Search Next DN - Will be displayed whenever the system conducts a search for the next
satellite DOWN (CCW/Left) from the satellite location it was previously at. This search may be
initiated automatically or when the operator presses the NEXT key.

First line of the TRACKING display will be the information for the satellite which is currently being tracked.
In the display example above, the system is tracking the Sat1 satellite selection, named DTV101
(DirecTV at 101W) with a signal strength of 1876 counts of AGC.
Second line of the TRACKING display is the NID currently being received (FFFE) and the current
Elevation angle of the antenna (45 degrees).
This display indicates that the system has now entered into OPERATION mode. TRACKING LED is ON.
2.3. Operation Mode Scenerios
Below are some common examples of operating the system when Sat1, Sat2, Sat3, Sat4, Sat5 and Sat6
information has been saved. You can also refer to the Operation Flow Chart. If satellites have not been
previously saved, refer to Section 5 – Initial Setup.
2.3.1. Switching Satellites
Press NEXT to switch to the next (numerically) satellite.
2.3.2. Adjusting Polarization
Polarization adjustment is NOT required when you are outfitted for circular satellite usage.
If you have a Linear LNB installed, you will have to manually adjust the polarization. Manual adjustment
will be required whenever the boat has traveled about 10 degrees of latitude or longitude from where you
last adjusted the linear polarization.
