Page 17: Mounting Height
2.5. Mast Configurations Sea Tel recommends mounting the ADE in a location that has both a clear line-of-sight to the target satellites in all potential azimuth/elevation ranges and sufficient support against vibration excitement. If possible, mounting the ADE pedestal directly to ship deckhouse structures or other box stiffened structures is preferred. However, in many cases, this imposes limits on the antenna system’s clear line-of-sight.
Page 18: Vertical Masts
As with all mast designs discussed so far, mounting the antenna in line with the vertical Document. No. 136879 Revision B Sea Tel – Proprietary. Do Not Copy, Distribute or Disclose...
Page 19: Truss Mast
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.

If it is NOT close (stops before the bow or continues to drive Figure 8-1 Antenna stops In-line with Bow past the bow) Sea Tel recommends that HFO be adjusted to calibrate the relative position of the antenna. If the antenna is pointing to the LEFT of the bow line: If the antenna stops driving before the bow line, when targeting a satellite it will fall short of the desired satellite by exactly the same number of degrees that it fell short of the bow line.

Page 61: Setup - Blockage & Rf Radiation Hazard Zones
The Blockage Zones function inhibits the antenna from transmitting within certain pre-set zones. This is typically some structure of the ship that prevents satellite signal from getting to the Sea Tel antenna when the ship is at headings that put that structure in-between the satellite and the satellite antenna, However, it can also be used as an RF Radiation Hazard zone.

Setup – Blockage & RF Radiation Hazard Zones EXAMPLE - Overlaid Blockage Zones: A ship has a Sea Tel antenna mounted on the center line of the ship. A mast mounted on top of a deckhouse (like the picture below) is forward and an engine exhaust stack, also on a deckhouse, is aft.
