iFleetONE™ Terminal Installation Manual iFleetONE™ USER EQUIPMENT 1.1 Introduction The iFleetONE™ user equipment (UE) consists of two units: Below Deck Equipment (BDU) which is a communication unit Above Deck Equipment (ADU) which is an antenna unit The wired Primary Handset with a cradle is an optional accessory. 1.2 Above Deck Equipment The ADU is a 3-axis controlled antenna unit which is self-tracking.
iFleetONE™ Terminal Installation Manual 1.3 Below Deck Equipment The BDU is the heart unit of the iFleetONE™ UE. It has several interface ports and handles all communication links between the ADU, optional Primary Handset and the local communication devices such as analog telephone, computer, network equipment, navigation equipment etc. The BDU requires +12V or +24V DC power supply input.
iFleetONE™ Terminal Installation Manual INSTALLATION OF iFleetONE™ TERMINAL 1.5 Installation of ADU 1.5.1 Overview In general, any obstructing objects like a mast near the antenna unit can block reception or transmission from the satellite’s line of sight. In addition, RF radiation emitting from the antenna will affect the human body.
The antenna unit must be mounted as far as possible away from the HF antennas, communication/navigations, VSAT systems and any high power radio transmitter (including other Inmarsat-based systems). Radar It is difficult to provide the exact minimum distance between a radar and the antenna unit due to different type of radars in terms of power, radiation pattern and operating frequency band.
Page 19
iFleetONE™ Terminal Installation Manual The table below gives the recommended minimum distance d between X- and S- band radars and the antenna. Antenna damage is normally avoided by ensuring the separation distance is met or exceeded. Antenna location at the minimum distance from Radar (S-Band) Radar Min distance (d) at ±15⁰...
iFleetONE™ Terminal Installation Manual 1.5.4 Obstruction When locating the antenna, it is very important to ensure that there is a clear line-of-sight to the satellite for all the satellite elevation angles in the region in which the vessel will operate. The antenna moves in azimuth 360⁰...
iFleetONE™ Terminal Installation Manual 1.5.5 Antenna Mast The physical size of an antenna mast must be able to support the weight and size of the antenna unit. Additionally, the antenna mast must be able to withstand on-board vibrations and wind speed (up to 100 knots) on the antenna radome. An example of the antenna mounted in a suitable mast is illustrated as below Recommendations of the antenna mast include: ...
iFleetONE™ Terminal Installation Manual Clearance holes for M6 (Recommended >6.5mm) Cut-hole Dimension flange Clearance holes for M6 ( Recommended >6.5mm) In the case of the existing mast’s flange on the vessel or ship does not fit the ADU’s mounting base’s holes, a custom-made mechanical adaptation flange should be designed and fabricated so that the flange acts as an interface between the existing mast and the ADU.
