  • Page 23: Chapter 5 Vehicular Installation

    Chapter 5 Vehicular installation Basic installation procedure The basic installation procedure is as follows: 1. Decide where you are going to install the antenna and IDU. 2. Ensure that the IDU is located inside the vehicle and attached to something structurally solid. Loose mounts that vibrate will degrade performance.
  • Page 24: Common Idu Mounting Information

    7. Install the IDU in a protected but ventilated area. Allow at least a 1-inch space around all surfaces, except for the bottom surface attached to the vehicle, to provide adequate cooling. Ensure that the location is accessible for servicing. 8.

    Installation The magnet mount consists of three individual high-intensity magnets with rubber coating. Each magnet has a stainless steel center bolt. First attach the magnets to the antenna. There are three “legs” on the antenna where the magnets are placed. Note the position of the two rubber washers just below and above each antenna “leg,”...
  • Page 27: Permanent Mount Installation

    Permanent mount installation If the antenna cannot be mounted using the magnetic feet option, the three mounting holes on the outside diameter of the antenna can be used to bolt the antenna onto a roof bracket system. Please ensure that you utilize the proper bolt size to withstand the wind loading and vibration that the antenna will undergo for your particular application.

    Do not locate the antenna close to interfering signal sources or receivers. It is recommended that no other antennas be located within 3 meters of the 9450 antennas. If there is other equipment installed near the Hughes 9450 mobile satellite terminal, it is recommended to operate all equipment simultaneously and verify there is no co-interference.
