1 MOUNTING OF UNITS This chapter describes how to mount the units of the system, including optional equipment. 1.1 Antenna Unit 1.1.1 Mounting considerations General Interfering objects (especially metallic objects such as masts) near the antenna can, in the worst case, prevent reception or transmission. Further, RF radiation from the antenna will affect the human body.

More than 5 m If installed within 5 m of radar antenna, the antenna unit must not be within the radar beam. Distance from antenna radar Compass safe distance Locating the antenna unit too close to a compass can affect compass performance. The compass safe distance is 1.10 meters, steering compass, 1.60 meters, standard compass.
Page 12
Mast strength The mast material must be sufficiently strong to meet the demands of the marine environment. It should satisfy the following requirements. • It must be able to support radome mass plus at least 2.5 centimeters of ice and snow. Special consideration should be given if the unit is operated in areas of heavy snow or freezing temperature.
Page 13
Mounting base A mounting base is installed between the mast and the antenna unit. Below are guidelines for installation of the mounting base. 1. The face of the mounting base should be flat as possible (tolerance: within 2 millimeters of the horizontal plane). 2.
Page 14
Unpacking • Check that if the antenna unit is damaged by shipment. • Unpack the antenna unit carefully so as not to damage it. Remove hex nut, spring washer, flat washer, large washer and fixing material to dismount the antenna unit. This hardware can be discarded. Eye bolt Antenna Fixing plate...
Page 15
1.1.3 Mounting Unpacking, visual inspection Carefully unpack the radome and check for damage. Procedure 1. Run lifting rope through eye bolts and shackles. 2. Cover the portion of the radome which contacts the lifting rope with protective material (rubber mat, etc.), to prevent damage to the radome when hoisting it to the mounting location.
Page 16
Attach electromagnetic wave caution label Labels which warn of electromagnetic waves are supplied with the installation materials. Attach them as follows. 1. To the radome mast where it can easily be seen. 2. In a conspicuous location in the stairwell leading to the deck where the antenna unit is installed.
1.2 Communication Unit 1.2.1 Mounting considerations Vibration conditions The mounting location should satisfy the condition of vibration amplitude tabulated below. Freq. Range Max. Amplitude 4 to 15 Hz 0.76 (max. 6.86 m/s²) 15 to 25 Hz 0.40 (max. 9.8 m/s²) 25 to 33 Hz 0.23 (max.
