Page 7: Understanding Safety Alert Messages
Understanding safety alert messages Safety alert messages call attention to potential safety hazards and tell you how to avoid them. These messages are identified by the signal words WARNING or CAUTION, as illustrated below. To avoid possible property damage, personal injury, or in some cases possible death, read and comply with all safety alert messages. -
Page 9: Chapter 1 Introduction
Hughes mobile satellite terminals The mobile satellite terminals are composed of four core component parts: the transceiver or Below Deck Unit (BDU), the antenna or Above Deck Unit (ADU), the power connector/cable, and a 25 meter RF cable. -

The Thuraya Mobility (Maritime) kit is shipped with the following contents: Model Hughes part Description number Thuraya Orion IP (9105) 3500462-0004 Radio, Thuraya Orion IP (kit) Maritime kit 9506197-0001 WLAN antenna (2.4 GHz, 3 dB) 3500472-0003 Power cable with 3-pin connector 3500860-0001... -
Page 11: Power Port
Power port The power port is the connection from the power supply (vessel battery or some other 12 or 24Vdc power source) to the BDU. The power cable has a DC positive power line, a Remote Switch line and a DC negative power line. Line type Pin number V+ DC power line... -
Page 12: Wlan Port
WLAN port The WLAN port on the BDU is a reverse polarity SMA jack. A flexible antenna with RP-SMA plug connector is supplied, part number HG2403RD-RSF. To prevent blocking or attenuation of the WLAN signal, the BDU should be installed such that there is no metal blocking the radio path to the user’s device. -
Page 13: System Power Requirements
System power requirements There is one power connection on the BDU. This must be connected to a 12 or 24Vdc supply. Power requirements and consumption are as follows: Voltage Input Minimum Voltage Input Maximum Total Current for ADU and BDU (Max. -
Page 15: Chapter 2 Below Deck Unit (Bdu) Install
Chapter 2 Below Deck Unit (BDU) Install The BDU is generally located in an area accessible by the operator and protected from water/spray. The ADU is generally located in a position to give clear line of sight to the satellite and to avoid exposure of microwave radiation to personnel. Basic BDU installation procedure The basic installation procedure is as follows:... -

Antenna cable lengths and types The Hughes BDU has an automatic cable calibration feature that determines the loss of the cable. The RF cable that comes standard in the terminal kit is 25 meters long. If a different cable is required for the installation, the end-to-end RF loss needs to be 10dB +0dB/-8dB at 1.6GHz and the cable must be 50 Ohm impedance. -
Page 18: Antenna Location
Antenna Location It is important for the operation and life of the Antenna and safety of personnel that the location / mounting / fitting instructions are followed – improper installation will void any warranty. Mounting Location: Line-of-Sight: when locating the antenna, it is very important to ensure there is a clear line-of-sight to the satellite for all the satellite elevation angles in the region in which the ship will operate. - Page 19 Antenna Location – minimum distance from RADAR (X-Band) in istance Radar Min Distance at 6 Power vertical separation vertical separation Output 0-10kW 0.8 m (2.6 ft.) 0.4 m (1.3 ft.) 30kW 2.4 m (7.9 ft.) 1.2 m (3.9 ft) 50kW 2.0 m (6.6 ft) 2.0 m (6.6 ft) NAVIGATIONA AIDS: see the table below for suggested co-location minimum...

Antenna Mounting Pedestal/Pole Mounting / Fitting Instructions: See the figure below for the installation of the Thuraya Maritime HN321 antenna on a pedestal. Connect the N-connector on the coax cable as shown before fastening the antenna to the pole mount. Do not obstruct the drain holes at the bottom of the antenna (around the N-connector) and at the bottom of the pole mount. - Page 22 Alternate Mounting Hardware: It is recognized that for some installations Custom mounts/mounting brackets may be required. The following template is provided for the Antenna footprint. NOTE: the Antenna must be fitted to allow for natural water drainage – please see template information –...
