Simplified Block Diagram of a Series 09MK3 or 12 Ku-Band System Your Series 12 Ku-Band TXRX system consists of two major groups of equipment: an above-decks group and a below-decks group. Each group is comprised of, but is not limited to, the items listed below. All equipment comprising the Above Decks is incorporated inside the radome assembly and is integrated into a single operational entity.

  • Page 11: Dual Antenna Configuration

    These each have standardized language incorporated into their (iDirect, Comtech & STM) modems which communicates automatic beam switching settings from their options file to the Sea Tel ACU(s). This provides the network a means of controlling automatic beam switching by the settings in the options file in the remote modem.

  • Page 14: Site Survey

    Site Survey 6012-12W Installation Manual Site Survey There are three objective of the site survey. The first is to find the best place to mount the antenna and the BDE. The second is to identify the length and routing of the cables and any other items or materials that are required to install the system.

  • Page 15: Mounting Foundation

    The following should be taken into account when choosing the height of a mounting support stand: The height of the pedestal should be kept as short as possible, taking into account recommendations given in other Sea Tel Guidelines. 2. The minimum height of the pedestal above a flat deck or platform to allow access into the radome for maintenance should be 0.6 meters (24 inches).

  • Page 16: 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.

  • Page 17: Vertical Masts

    6012-12W Installation Manual Site Survey 2.5.1. Vertical Masts Vertical masts are a very ancient and common mast design. In essence, it is the mast derived from the sailing mast and adapted for mounting the ever-increasing array of antennae which ships need to communicate with the world.

  • Page 18: Truss Mast

    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 19: Ade/Bde Coaxial Cables

    In as much as is possible, don’t lay the coaxes on power cables. Don’t lay the coaxes on, or directly beside, the cables from a second Sea Tel antenna, Inmarsat antenna and/or GPS antenna that are also passing L-band frequencies. Don’t lay the coaxes on, or directly beside, radar cables that may inject pulse repetition noise –as error bits - into your cables.

  • Page 46: 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.

  • Page 121 Purpose. To define the installation procedure for installing strain reliefs in “smooth base” radomes. Scope. This installation procedure applies to fiberglass radomes having Sea Tel’s standard four-hole mounting pattern, and M12 mounting hardware, in the 80-180 cm (34-66 in) nominal size range, typically referred to as “smooth” base radomes. It also applies to our larger 193 cm (76-inch) radome having a twelve-hole mounting pattern.
  • Page 122 Procedure, Radome Strain Relief Installation Making the holes PLANNING: Space has been allowed for up to 5 ea. strain reliefs, but, install only as many as needed. (Typically only 2-3 TX/RX systems). Refer to Fig 2 then plan which hole positions to use. For 76-inch radomes lowest holes may be approx 1.5 inches from inside wall corner with floor (ref drawing 129416).
  • Page 123 Procedure, Radome Strain Relief Installation Measure, mark and drill pilot holes CAUTION: The hole locations cannot be determined accurately from outside of the radome. Using full scale drawing 132234, provided in the strain relief kit, measure mark and drill pilot holes from the inside out, and using only light pressure, use the small drill bit, (~1/8”...
