Introduction
This manual describes the Sea Tel Model TSC-10 Touch Screen Controller. Operating instructions, system
information, installation, setup, functional testing and maintenance for the TSC-10 are also contained herein.
This Touch Screen allows you to monitor and control the Sea Tel Stabilized Antenna Pedestal through the
Antenna Control Unit that it is connected to.
1.1.
General Description of system
The TSC-10 Touch Screen Controller provides a user friendly graphic interface which you will use to remotely
monitor and control the Sea Tel Stabilized Antenna and its Antenna Control Unit. It has been designed and
manufactured so as to be inherently reliable, easy to maintain, and simple to operate. Except for start-ups, or
when changing to operate with different transponders or satellites, the equipment essentially permits
unattended operation.
The panel accepts an NTSC, or PAL, composite video input from any source you would like to monitor. The
video input is seen in a minimized window in the upper right area of the panel. When the panel is not being
used to monitor or control the antenna, simply touching the minimized external video window will expand it to
full screen. When you want to use the panel to control the antenna, touch anywhere on the screen to
minimize the external video window.
The TSC-10 will be connected to the Antenna Control Unit and becomes part of your Below-Decks
Equipment (BDE) group.
The following text provides a basic functional overview of the system components and component
interconnection as referred to in the System Block Diagram(s) for your model antenna.
Television Receive Only (TVRO) Systems are comprised of two major sections: The Above-Decks
Equipment (ADE) is comprised of the Sea Tel antenna & radome assembly which is mounted outside, on an
upper deck location chosen for best satellite reception. The Below-Decks Equipment (BDE) includes the
Antenna Control Unit and will have satellite receiver(s), TV set(s) and all other ancillary equipment that is
mounted in various locations throughout the interior of the ship.

Signal, Favorite Satellite
targeting buttons, the four
Main Menu buttons and
minimized Video input
window.
This page displays the Model, Serial Number and Software
Version information from the Antenna Pedestal, the Antenna
Control Unit and the Touch Screen Controller.
This page shows all the viewable satellites in your
geographic location. You can target one of the satellites in
the scroll list or the graphic arc below.
Used to edit the satellite database stored in the panel
memory.
This menu is used to set or change the "favorite" satellites
displayed on the Home Page of your Touch Screen Control
panel.
This page provides a spectrum analyzer display of frequency
versus amplitude of the current satellite signal input to the
tracking receiver.
Run, or view the results of, Self Test Diagnostics that the
antenna ran during initialization or that you run now. This
feature is not available in the current software.
Once the system has been setup, the Home Page provides all
of the most frequently needed
information and the most
frequently used buttons.
Very basic "operator" troubleshooting is programmed into the
panel to help you isolate some very basic failures. If this
basic troubleshooting does not restore normal operation,
these pages will guide you to capture the error/status log and
contact your dealer to report the information and arrange for
repairs.
The screen will blank if it has
not been touched for one hour,
except when it has been left in
full screen video mode. If the
screen has gone blank (power
light and back-lit logo are ON,
but the screen is black), touch
anywhere on the screen to
restore the previously viewed
page.
Provides a diagnostic strip chart recording of antenna

TSC-10 Touch Screen Controller
Home Page
Once the system has been set-up, the Home page provides all of the most frequently needed information and
most frequently used buttons. The screen will blank if it has not been touched for one hour, except when it
has been left in full screen video mode. Blanking the display extends the life of the LCD panel. You can tell
when blanking is ON because the power light and back-lit logo will be illuminated, and you can touch
anywhere on the screen to restore the previously viewed page. When power has been turned OFF the
display will be blank AND the power light will be extinguished. The Home Page can be accessed from any
other menu location by pressing the HOME button.
Status Bar - The Status Bar provides the Pedestal Model number, Pedestal (PCU) Status and system
Status. Pedestal Model number and status information come from the Pedestal Control Unit (PCU). The
system status comes from the Antenna Control Unit (ACU) & the PCU.
AZ/REL/HDG Graphic - Azimuth, Relative and Heading values from the ACU are displayed in numeric and
in graphic form. The graphic is comprised of an antenna centered on an overhead outline of a ship, which is
surrounded by a true North compass rose. This indicates where the bow of the ship is pointed in reference to
true North (based on the Heading input from the ships Gyro Compass). The Antenna position is indicated in
two references; Where it is pointed relative to the bow of the ship (Relative) and where it is pointed in
reference to true North (Azimuth).
EL Graphic - The Elevation graphic indicates where the antenna is currently pointed in elevation. The
elevation angle will be between 00.0 degrees (horizon) and 90.0 degrees (zenith).
Receive Signal Level Graphic - The current AGC and Threshold values from the ACU are used to update
this histograph. The AGC value is displayed in numeric and graphic forms. The graphic form of AGC is
Amplitude (vertically) and Time (horizontally) to provide the short term history of the AGC value. The
amplitude of the AGC LEVEL and the Threshold value, are graphically displayed. Whenever AGC is greater
in value that the Threshold setting, vertical AGC lines will be blue, indicating that a good satellite signal level
is being received. When the AGC value falls below the current Threshold value the vertical AGC lines will
change color to red, indicating that the satellite signal is too low. The system will time out and begin
searching to re-acquire the desired satellite. The system may find other satellite signals that are greater level
than the Threshold value, but will continue searching if the signal does not match all of your desired satellite
settings.

Operation
Video Input Window (Minimized) - If a composite video input (NTSC or PAL) is connected to the rear
panel, it will be displayed in this minimized window. This allows the panel to display video from any desired
source while it is not being used to control the antenna. If you touch the minimized window, the video display
will “maximize” to full screen. When maximized, touch anywhere on the screen to “minimize” the video
display. When the video window is minimized, the screen will blank after one hour of inactivity. When the
video window is maximized, the screen will NOT blank.
Presets 1-5 (Favorite Satellites) - Five Preset buttons can be configured to be your “Favorite Satellites”
from the Satellite – Presets menu. To target a satellite, or switch from the satellite you are on to another,
you simply touch the desired Preset satellite button you want and then touch the Enter button.
You can create Presets for different feed configurations (Interchangeable LNBs) or for different geographic
areas that you periodically travel to. If you select a satellite that would require an elevation of zero, or less,
“Satellite Out Of Range” (satellite is below the horizon) will be displayed in System Status on the Status Bar
and the satellite will NOT be targeted. If you select a satellite that does not match the current configuration of
you feed (polarization type and/or frequency band), “Frequency Is Not Supported By LNB” will be displayed in
System Status on the Status Bar, but the satellite you selected will be targeted if the elevation is above the
horizon.
Main Menu Buttons - There are four main menu buttons, each having sub-menu buttons to divide the
functions of the Touch Screen Controller into groups. The main menu buttons are Antenna, Satellite,
Diagnostics and Set Up.
Antenna - The Antenna main menu button accesses the Antenna related sub-menus; Settings, Ship
and Info.
Satellite - The Satellite main menu button accesses the Satellite related sub-menus; Selection, Edit,
Presets and Analyzer.
Diagnostics - The Diagnostics main menu button accesses the Diagnostics related sub-menus; Self
Test, Troubleshooting, Strip Chart and Status Log.
Set Up - The Set Up main menu button prompts you for a password and then allows you access to the
Set-Up related sub-menus; Hardware, Tracking, Blocking and Date/Time.
Display Lock - Press to “Lock” the display. You may wish to lock the panel while you clean the screen.
When locked, the display will blank and will NOT respond to touches on the screen and the red LED to the
left of the Lock button will illuminate. When unlocked, the red LED will be OFF and the panel will respond to
touches on the screen.
Power ON/OFF Switch - This turns the Touch Screen Controller panel power ON or OFF. When power is
being supplied to the panel (from the ACU or another source) the Sea Tel logo will be back-lit with blue light.
The green power LED to the right of the power button will be illuminated when power is turned ON.

searching button to manually start a search (Searching will go ON) OR to manually stop a search that is in
progress (Searching will go OFF).
Polarization - [Display Only] Displays the current polarization position of the feed.
IF Frequency - This button displays the current IF frequency that the tracking receiver inside the ACU is
tuned to. To change the current frequency, touch the frequency button to select frequency entry mode. Use
the UP or DOWN arrow key to increment/decrement the frequency in 1 MHz steps Or you can use the
numeric key pad to enter a desired tracking frequency. Press ENTER to retune the tracking receiver in the
ACU.
NID - [Display Only] Displays the current Network ID being received by the ACU.
LNB Type - [Display Only] Display of the current LNB Type selected in the Setup – Hardware settings.
AGC Histograph - Across the bottom of this display page is a graphic history of the most recent AGC
values. The values are written on the right side and then move to the left. Therefore, the left end is the
oldest data and the right end is the current data.
Whenever AGC LEVEL is greater in value that the Threshold setting, vertical AGC lines will be blue,
indicating that a good satellite signal level is being received.
When the AGC LEVEL value falls below the current Threshold value the vertical AGC lines will change color
to red, indicating that the satellite signal is too low. The system will time out and begin searching to reacquire the desired satellite. The system may find other satellite signals that are greater level than the
Threshold value (change to blue lines), but will resume searching if the signal does not match all of your
desired satellite settings (change to red lines).
While the current AGC value is below the current Threshold value (such as when the antenna is blocked,
unwrapping or is searching) the displayed data will be red.

above the horizon, but can not be used with the LNB you currently have installed and will display a
“Frequency Is Not Supported By LNB” on the Status bar when you try to target one of them. Currently, you
can NOT add satellites to the database.
Viewable Satellites Graphic - Displays all the satellites in the database that are above the horizon from
your current latitude & longitude AND that are the same frequency band and polarization mode as your
currently installed feed/LNB.
The satellites listed on the arc are the satellites that your hardware configuration would allow you to receive.
However, these satellites may not necessarily be aiming their signal at your geographic location (refer to the
footprint chart for each of these satellites) AND you must have the correct satellite receiver (with encryption
decoder and paid subscription) to actually view the signals from them.

longitude position of the satellite is displayed. The current settings for the currently selected satellite are
displayed below the “All Satellites” display.
To edit a setting, touch the value you wish to change and use the Numeric Keypad UP/DOWN or Number
keys to change the setting and press the ENTER key. When you are finished editing the settings, press the
Save Settings button. Factory “Defaults” satellite settings can be restored at any time by pressing the
Defaults key (this will overwrite any previously changed settings).
Band - Band setting of the Selected satellite. To change this setting, touch the Band button and scroll
through the choices by using UP or DOWN arrow key, and then the ENTER key, in the Numeric Keypad.
Tracking Frequency - The Tracking Frequency is the IF frequency which will be used to track the Selected
satellite. To change this setting, touch the button and type in the desired tracking frequency by using the
Number keys in the Numeric Keypad. The numeric value you enter must be the Intermediate Frequency (in
MHz) output of your LNB (950-2150) that you want to use for Tracking. The UP/DOWN arrow keys may be
used to increment/decrement the frequency to fine tune it in 1 MHz steps. Set Frequency to 0000 to select
External AGC mode, to read input from X1 & X2 terminals on the Terminal Mounting Strip. Press the ENTER
key to set the value.
Symbol Rate - Baud, or Symbol, Rate of the digital signal is used by the tracking receiver for signal lock on
the Selected satellite. To change this setting, touch its button and type in the desired Symbol Rate with the
Number keys, and then the ENTER key, in the Numeric Keypad. Current receivers can be set to any desired
Baud Rate between 3000 and 30000.
FEC - The Forward Error Correction Rate of the digital signal is used by the tracking receiver for signal lock
on the Selected satellite. To change this setting, touch its button and scroll through the choices by using UP
or DOWN arrow key, and then the ENTER key, in the Numeric Keypad. The selections are: AUTO, 1/2, 2/3,
3/4, 5/6, 6/7, 7/8, SCPC and NBIF. The Default setting (AUTO) automatically scans through all the standard
DVB & DSS FEC rates.
NID - The Network ID (four digit HEX value) contained in the digital signal is used by the tracking receiver to
Identify this Selected satellite. To change this setting, touch its button and type in the desired NID by using
the Number keys, and then the ENTER key, in the numeric keypad. Enter a valid NID Hex value, or 0000 to
not use a Network ID, or a pseudo NID (FFFE for DSS signals or FFFD for DVB signals). Use a two key
sequence (decimal point followed by a number key) to enter an alpha character. Key “.” then “1” to enter an
A up through “.” then “6” to enter an F.
(Example: to enter an NID of 1B3D you would key in “ 1, ., 2, 3, ., 4 “ ).
Forced NID - If the satellite transmits a specific 4 digit hexadecimal NID this setting should be OFF.
If the satellite does NOT generate an NID but does have a unique combination of FREQ, BAUD and FEC
lock, this setting should be set to ON. The panel will then generate its own unique forced NID (FFFE for DSS
signals or FFFD for DVB signals) to represent the desired satellite. In this case, you must enter this (forced)
pseudo NID in the NID setting above.
Polarization - This setting selects which polarization is used for tracking the Selected satellite signal.
Caution: Changing this setting requires the Frequency, Symbol Rate, FEC Rate and NID settings to be
reviewed/changed also. To change this setting, touch its button and scroll through the choices by using UP
or DOWN arrow key, and then the ENTER key, in the Numeric Keypad.
Defaults - Factory Defaults can be restored at any time by pressing the Defaults button (overwriting any
previously changed settings).

Satellite - Analyzer Menu
This page provides a spectrum analyzer display of frequency versus amplitude of the current satellite signal
input to the tracking receiver. This input signal will be of the polarization that is currently set in the satellite
database (or selected directly in the ACU).
Analyzer - The graph is comprised of Frequency horizontally and Amplitude vertically.
Frequency is from left (lowest frequency) to right (highest frequency) at 40 MHz per division.
Amplitude is vertically from bottom (lowest AGC value) to top (highest AGC value) at a range set by the Auto
Set and the AGC counts values are displayed on the left (upper & lower) side of the graph.
6-2
TSC-10 Touch Screen Controller
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
To start a graph, press one of the three frequency range buttons. The spectrum analyzer graph will begin
writing from left to right, as indicated by the heavy black line. The heavy Green line is the current Tracking
Frequency setting. Press the Auto Set button to automatically center the amplitude of the display. Use the
UP or DOWN arrow keys to move the graphed data up or down in the grid (shifts the AGC values).
This graph can be very useful for verifying that you are receiving good signal level and to identify satellites.
Your tracking frequency should be centered on one of the peaks. If your tracking frequency is centered in
between peaks, it could be because your polarization, or frequency, setting for this satellite is incorrect or you
are not on the correct satellite.

TSC-10 Touch Screen Controller
Diagnostics - Strip Chart Menu
Provides a diagnostic strip chart recording of antenna performance. It is an excellent tool for a technician to
use to capture an intermittent problem in the system.
Center - Press the center button to center the four selected lines of data in the four windows. Only four lines
may be displayed, but all of the data listed in the line assignment paragraph is being recorded.
Line assignment - Each of the four lines (Green, Blue, Magenta and Red) can be assigned to display one
value of recorded data. The recorded data includes: Elevation, Azimuth, Cross Level, Relative, Heading,
AGC, Head+Rel, Relative+ and Heading+. In the screen above the Green line is set to Elevation, the Blue
line is set to Azimuth, the Magenta line is set to Relative+Heading (this should be the same as Azimuth if
heading input from the Gyro Compass is good) and the Red line is set to AGC.
The recorded lines left to right in time, the current value is written on the right limit of the display the older
values are stepped to the left as the new value is written on the right. Therefore, the oldest sample is the
piece that is farthest to the left, and is just about to be pushed off the left side of the screen.
In very basic terms: The Azimuth, Elevation and AGC (signal) values should stay fairly flat while ON satellite
indicating signal is staying consistently high and the Azimuth & Elevation values are steady (these will change
long term as the ship travels in Latitude & Longitude, but short term they should stay close to the same
values). If Azimuth, or Elevation, do move from their correct values, the antenna will no longer be pointed at
the peak signal, and the signal level from the satellite should fall. Azimuth is the sum of Heading plus
relative, therefore, as Heading goes UP Relative MUST go DOWN (equal & opposite to the Heading input) for
the antenna to stay ON satellite.
6-6
TSC-10 Touch Screen Controller
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
In normal operation (Tracking the satellite), if you see signal level fall (a sign of the satellite signal being lost),
you could look at the other displayed lines to see if you can determine why the signal level is falling. You look
just slightly to the left of where signal began falling (a few seconds before signal fell). If you see; Elevation
moved first then signal started falling you would know that the antenna mis-pointed in elevation and that is
why signal fell. Now you would try to find out why elevation moved. If signal fell and none of the other lines
appear to have caused it, you would check for blockage or RF signal failure.
Press the Center button to center the lines in the graph.
Press the Save button to save the current screen of data to a file in the panels memory. If you have captured
a loss of signal a Technician will be able to view the file on a computer to try to ascertain why signal was lost.
