    What’s in the box 3.1.2 Initial inspection Inspect the shipping cartons immediately upon receipt for evidence of damage during transport. If the shipping material is severely damaged or water stained, request that the carrier's agent be present when opening the cartons. Save all box packing material for future use.

  • Page 27: Site Preparation

    1. Mount the ADU on stiffened structures with a minimum of exposure to vibrations. You do not have to align the ADU with the bow-to-stern line of the ship. When configuring the SAILOR 600 VSAT Ka system, the azimuth calibration provides the correct azimuth of the ADU.

  • Page 28: Obstructions (Adu Shadowing)

    Site preparation 3.2.2 Obstructions (ADU shadowing) The ADU is stabilized in 3-axis (plus skew) and can be used in environments with elevations of -28° to + 120° to allow for continuous pointing even in heavy sea conditions. The ADU beam is approximately m in diameter for the first 30 m from the ADU. Beyond 30 m the beam gradually widens so that it is approximately 5 m in diameter at 100 m distance.

  • Page 29: Blocking Zones With Azimuth And Elevation

    Site preparation 3.2.3 Blocking zones with azimuth and elevation Your installation may require that you set up blocking zones for the ADU, i.e. areas where the ADU will not transmit and areas where transmit power is potentially dangerous for persons frequently being in these zones. You can set up 8 blocking zones. Each blocking zone is set up with azimuth start and stop, and elevation angle.

  • Page 31: Ship Motion And Offset From The Ship's Motion Centre

    Site preparation 3.2.5 Ship motion and offset from the ship’s motion centre When installing the ADU you must consider the mounting height carefully. The higher up the ADU is mounted, the higher is the linear g force applied to the ADU. The g force also depends on the roll period of the ship, see Table 3-1.

  • Page 32: Mast Foundation And Height

    Site preparation 3.2.6 Mast foundation and height The ADU mast must be designed to carry the weight of the ADU (37 kg), plus the weight of the mast flange. The mast must also be able to withstand on-board vibrations and wind speeds up to 110 knots on the radome, even in icing conditions.
  • Page 33 Site preparation CAUTION! Avoid sharp edges where the flange is in direct contact with the radome. Round all edges as much as possible to avoid damaging the surface of the radome. 3. Allow sufficient space so the nut is free of the welded seam and there is room for tools (min.
  • Page 34 Site preparation Mast length and diameter The placement of the ADU must ensure a rigid structural connection to the hull or structure of the ship. Parts of the ship with heavy resonant vibrations are not suitable places for the ADU. A small platform or short mast shall provide rigid support for the ADU fastening bolts and a rigid interface to the ship.

  • Page 35: Interference From Radar, Gps And Other Transmitters

    ADU performance. RF emission from radars might actually damage the ADU. The SAILOR 600 VSAT Ka ADU itself may also interfere with other radio systems. Radar It is difficult to give exact guidelines for the minimum distance between a radar and the ADU because radar power, radiation pattern, frequency and pulse length/shape vary from radar to radar.

  • Page 36: Radar Interference

    Even at distances greater than “d min.” in the previous section the radar might still be able to degrade the performance of the SAILOR 600 VSAT Ka system. The presence of one or more S or X-band radars within a radius up to 100 m may cause a minor degradation of the Ka-band connection.
  • Page 37 Site preparation It is strongly recommended that interference-free operation is verified experimentally before the installation is finalized. If radar interference is suspected, or the antenna is placed inside the radar beam, configure the radar to have a blanking zone to avoid transmission towards the antenna.

  • Page 38: Condensation, Water Intrusion And Deposits

    Site preparation 3.2.8 Condensation, water intrusion and deposits In some weather conditions there may occur condensation inside the radome. The drain tube is designed to lead any water away from inside the radome. Observe the following guidelines for condensation and water intrusion: 1.
