Intellian AC 19" Rack-mount ACU for v100GX/v100/v240M/v240C/v240K/v240M 2 VP-T537
The Intellian VP-T537 is an AC-powered, 19-inch rack-mount Antenna Control Unit for Intellian v100GX, v100, v240M, v240C, v240K, and v240M 2 maritime VSAT antenna systems. Installed below deck, it provides the control and monitoring interface used to operate the connected antenna system.
The rack-mounted design is suited to commercial vessels, offshore platforms, passenger ships, government vessels, and large yachts with dedicated communications equipment racks. It can be used for a compatible new installation or as a replacement for an existing VP-T537 ACU.
Satellite Phone Store can help confirm the antenna model, system generation, power configuration, and required cabling before ordering. This is particularly important across the v100 and v240 product families, which may use different control units depending on their original configuration.
Description
Antenna Control for Multiple Intellian Systems
The VP-T537 operates as the below-deck control component for several Intellian maritime VSAT platforms, including the v100GX, v100, v240M, v240C, v240K, and v240M 2. It supports the control, monitoring, setup, and diagnostic functions required by the connected antenna.
The ACU does not provide satellite connectivity independently. It must be integrated with the correct above-deck antenna, satellite modem, onboard network equipment, and active satellite service.
Standard Rack-Mount Installation
The unit is designed for installation in a standard 19-inch communications rack. Its 1U-height enclosure allows it to be positioned alongside satellite modems, network switches, routers, power equipment, and other below-deck communications hardware.
This arrangement keeps antenna controls accessible to installers and technical personnel while securing the unit within the vessel’s protected equipment space.
AC-Powered Configuration
The VP-T537 is the AC-powered version of the Antenna Control Unit. It should be connected to a suitable vessel power source according to the Intellian system installation requirements.
Intellian antennas may be supplied with different ACU and power configurations, so the part number should be checked against the existing system rather than selected solely by antenna diameter or product family.
Monitoring and System Setup
The ACU provides the interface used to review antenna status, complete configuration tasks, and support troubleshooting. It works with the antenna’s stabilized tracking platform to help maintain alignment with the selected satellite while the vessel is moving.
The available controls and diagnostic information depend on the connected antenna, installed software, modem configuration, and satellite network.
