1.4. Replacing the Television Integrated Control Unit (TICU)

Use replacement kit PN S-67-141496 and follow this procedure for replacing the Television Integrated Control
Unit (TICU).
A picture of the TICU is on the right.
Eight coax cables are connected on one end of

the TICU.
All other cables are connected on the back side of

the TICU. Three LEDs (DVB LOCK, STATUS, and
EOC) are also there, for general TICU diagnostics.
Four status LEDs (STATUS, AZ,EL, and CL) are on

the end that is opposite from the coax cables.
These LEDs are used for motor drive status &
diagnostics.
1. Turn the power OFF at the LMXP.

2. Open the radome hatch.

3. Disconnect the eight coax cables from
the TICU.
4. The input (to the pedestal harness) coax
cables on the top row, from left to right
are:
 J1A (Blue)
 J1B (White)
 J1C (Green)
 J1D (Black)
5. The output (to the AZ spooler) coax
cables on the bottom row, from left to
right are:
 J2A (Blue)
 J2B (White)
 J2C (Green)
 J2D (Black)
The following figure shows the TICU rear panel connections. Three LEDs (DVB LOCK, STATUS, and
EOC) also are shown, and they are used for general TICU diagnostics.

6. Disconnect the other TICU cables from

the TICU. Sea Tel recommends that you
remove the connections in the following
order.
 J11 CONSOLE (not connected-
leave vacant)
 J20 HOME (not connected-leave
vacant) or new MOTION
PLATFORM.
 J21 AZ - Azimuth motor drive.
 J22 EL - Elevation motor drive.
 J23 CL - Cross-Level motor drive.
 J3 LNB - LNB voltage and control.
 J4 USB (not connected-leave
vacant)
 J5 MOTION PLATFORM - Motion
Platform voltage and signals.
 J6 POL AUX - Polarization motor
voltage & encoder signals.
 J9 EOC+PWR - Antenna voltage &
control signals.
 J8 LAN (not connected-leave
vacant)
 J7 GPS - GPS voltage & signals.
The ferrite bead must be lifted up
to access the release tab on the
bottom of the RJ-11 connector.
7. The LEDs (DVB LOCK, STATUS, and
EOC) are used for diagnostics.
8. Using a 4mm Allen wrench, remove the 4
mounting screws and washers that
secure the TICU to the mounting plate.
Discard this hardware.
9. Carefully remove the failed TICU.
10. Package the TICU for return to Sea Tel.
If the part was supplied for a warranty
repair, you will receive a credit. If it is no
longer in warranty, Sea Tel will repair
and return the TICU to you for your
spares, charging you only for the repair.

11. Apply Loctite 242 to the 4 mounting

screws provided in the replacement kit.
12. Set the replacement TICU in place on the
mounting plate with rear panel
connectors facing inward towards the
azimuth spooler.
13. Using a 4mm Allen wrench, install the 4
mounting screws and washers that
secure the TICU to the mounting plate.
14. Reconnect the cables from the TICU.

Sea Tel recommends that you connect
the connections in the following order.
 J7 GPS - GPS voltage & signals.
 J8 LAN (not connected-leave
vacant)
 J9 EOC+PWR - Antenna voltage &
control signals.
 J6 POL AUX - Polarization motor
voltage & encoder signals.
 J5 MOTION PLATFORM - Motion
Platform voltage & signals.
 J4 USB (not connected-leave
vacant)
 J23 CL - Cross-Level motor drive.
 J3 LNB - LNB voltage & control.
 J22 EL - Elevation motor drive.
 J21 AZ - Azimuth motor drive.
 J20 HOME (not connected-leave
vacant) or new MOTION
PLATFORM.
 J11 CONSOLE (not connected-

15. Reconnect the eight coax cables to the

TICU.
16. The input (to the pedestal harness – path
shown in red) coax cables on the top
row, from left to right are:
 J1A (Blue)
 J1B (White)
 J1C (Green)
 J1D (Black)
17. The output (to the AZ spooler – path
shown in light blue) coax cables on the
bottom row, from left to right are:
 J2A (Blue)
 J2B (White)
 J2C (Green)
 J2D (Black)
18. Install cable ties where they were
removed in any of the steps above.
19. Using diagonal cutters, carefully trim off
excess cable tie length.
20. If all repair work is completed, check all
connections.
21. Remove all parts, tools, and debris from
the radome.
22. Turn the power ON at the LMXP.
23. Watch the antenna initialize.
24. Check fine balance the antenna.
25. Apply power to the other below decks
equipment, and either allow the system
to automatically target a desired
satellite, or target it manually.
