The antenna is mounted in a blockage-free area, with a clear view of the sky (360°), to the best extent possible.
Location description: ________________________________________________________________________
Take digital photos of the antenna installation from all directions. Send these photos to KVH with this form.
The antenna is mounted away from the vessel's superstructure, other antennas, and magnetic compasses.
The antenna is mounted as far away as possible from the radar and high-power radio transmitters. The antenna is
located at least the minimum distance away from the radar based on radar power level and vertical separation:
X-band ≤50 KW: 0.9 m at ±15°; S-band ≤10 KW: 2 m at ±40°, ≤30 KW: 3 m at ±60°, ≤50 KW: 5 m at ±60°.
The antenna is mounted on a flat, level surface/pedestal capable of supporting the antenna's weight of 109 kg
(240 lbs) under all environmental conditions.
Prevention of RF radiation exposure was taken into consideration when choosing a mounting location.
The "Forward" arrow points towards the bow and is parallel to the vessel's centerline. Connectors face the stern.
Both service hatches are easily accessible to a technician.
Anti-seize lubricant was applied to all four mounting bolts.
The mounting nuts were tightened to between 35 and 40 ft-lbs (47 and 54 N-m) of torque.
If the cable access hole is underneath the antenna, foam seals were installed and are pressing against each other.
Belowdecks Equipment
All belowdecks equipment is installed in a cool, dry location that provides good ventilation.
