INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
9711QOR-86 C & KU-BAND TX/RX ANTENNA
WARNING: RF RADIATION HAZARD
This stabilized antenna system is designed to be used with transmit/receive equipment
manufactured by others. Refer to the documentation supplied by the manufacturer which
will describe potential hazards, including exposure to RF radiation, associated with the
improper use of the transmit/receive equipment. Note that the transmit/receive
equipment will operate independently of the stabilized antenna system. Prior to work on
the stabilized antenna system, the power to the transmit/receive system must be locked
out and tagged.
When the transmit/receive system is in operation, no one should be allowed anywhere
within the radiated beam being emitted from the reflector.
The ultimate responsibility for safety rests with the facility operator and the
individuals who work on the system.

  • Page 19: Site Survey

    9711QOR-86 C & Ku-Band TXRX Site Survey Site Survey The objective of the Site survey is to find the best place to mount the antenna & the below decks equipment, the length and routing of the cables and any other items or materials that are required to install the system and identify any other issues that must be resolved before or during the installation.

  • Page 20: Mounting Foundation

    Site Survey 9711QOR-86 C & Ku-Band TXRX 2.3. Mounting Foundation 2.3.1. Mounting on Deck or Deckhouse While mounting the ADE on a mast is a common solution to elevate the ADE far enough above the various obstructions which create signal blockages, sometimes the best mounting position is on a deck or deckhouse top.

  • Page 21: Mounting Height And Fore-Aft Location

    The effect of tangential acceleration is felt by the structure of the ADE before it truly affects the tracking accuracy. For instance, Sea Tel normally accepts that a tracking error of 0.1 degrees RMS at 0.5 G to be within acceptable error margins.

  • Page 22: Vertical Masts

    Site Survey 9711QOR-86 C & Ku-Band TXRX Often the solution for providing the full azimuth/elevation range the antenna needs is to mount the ADE on the ship’s mast. Unfortunately, masts do not consider equipment masses in design and often have harmonic frequencies of their own.

  • Page 23: Girder Masts

    For every 100 Kilograms of ADE weight over 250 Kilograms, the depth of the platform stiffeners should be increased by 50 millimeters and thickness by 2 millimeters. Sea Tel does not have a recommended arrangement for a truss mast – the variability of truss mast designs means that each installation needs to be evaluated separately.

  • Page 24: Cables

    The ADE should be installed using good electrical practice. Sea Tel recommends referring to IEC 60092-352 for specific guidance in choosing cables and installing cables onboard a ship. Within these guidelines, Sea Tel will provide some very general information regarding the electrical installation.

    Maintenance 9711QOR-86 C & Ku-Band TXRX 19.10. Pedestal Control Unit Configuration (MK2) The PCU is designed to be used with a variety of antenna pedestal configurations. The configuration information that is unique to each pedestal type is stored in a Non Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) in the PCU enclosure. If the PCU is replaced or the NVRAM in the PCU should become corrupt, the PCU must be re-configured to operate with the pedestal it is installed on.
