Refer to the documentation supplied by the manufacturer which will describe potential hazards, including exposure to RF radiation, associated with the improper use of the transmit/receive equipment.
Introduction 9711IMA-70 Figure 1 -1 Series 11 TXRX Simplified Block Diagram 1.5. Dual Antenna Configuration Sometimes, due to very large blockage conditions, you may need to install a dual antenna configuration to provide uninterrupted services. Two full antenna systems are installed and the MXP control outputs are connected to an arbitrator switch panel which then is connected to the below decks equipment.
9711IMA-70 Introduction Demand for greater bandwidth throughputs has led to service offerings that include access to multiple networks from the vessel. To facilitate this a dual network (two modems) configuration is required. This can be a single antenna – dual network configuration which allows the ship to access either of two networks. One antenna system is installed and its’...

9711IMA-70 Site Survey 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.
Site Survey 9711IMA-70 2.3. Mounting Foundation 2.3.1. Mounting on Deck or Deckhouse While mounting the ADE on a mast is a common solution to elevate the ADE far enough above the various obstructions, sometimes the best mounting position is on a deck or deckhouse top. These installations are inherently stiffer than a mast installation as the design of the deck/deckhouse structure is prescribed by the ship’s classification society.
9711IMA-70 Site Survey two accelerations – tangential and radial. These accelerations vary in a periodic function, out-of-phase from the ship response to the wave motions. Radial acceleration is the acceleration acting on the mass of the ADE pulling away from the center of the axis (roll or pitch).
Site Survey 9711IMA-70 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.
9711IMA-70 Site Survey 2.5.4. Truss Mast Truss masts are a variant on the girder mast concept. Rather than a pair of columns supporting a girder beam, the construction is a framework of tubular members supporting a platform on which the antennae and other equipment are mounted. A typical truss mast is shown in this photograph.
Site Survey 9711IMA-70 2.8.1. ADE/BDE Coaxial Cables The first concern with the coaxial cables installed between the ADE & BDE is length. This length is used to determine the loss of the various possible coax, Heliax or fiber-optic cables that might be used. You should always provide the lowest loss cables to provide the strongest signal level into the satellite modem.

9711IMA-70 Setup – Ship’s Gyro Compass Setup – Ship’s Gyro Compass The Ships Gyro Compass connection provides true heading (heading of the ship relative to true North) input to the system. This allows the ICU to target the antenna to a “true” Azimuth position to acquire any desired satellite. After targeting, this input keeps the antenna stabilized in Azimuth (keeps it pointed at the targeted satellite Azimuth).
Page 56
Setup – Ship’s Gyro Compass 9711IMA-70 No gyro mode is used when you do not have a gyro compass, the ship does turn and you will use “Sky Search” to initially acquire the satellite. The Sky Search drives the antenna to the calculated elevation angle and then drives azimuth CW 360 degrees, steps elevation up and then drives azimuth CCW 360 degrees and continues to alternately steps elevation up/down and drives azimuth alternately CW/CCW 360 degrees.
9711IMA-70 Setup – Tracking Receiver – VSAT Setup – Tracking Receiver – VSAT 6.1. Determining the IF Tracking Frequency (MHz) The IF Tracking frequency parameter is a value entered into the MXP MHZ Sub-Menu. The value itself may be provided by your air-time provider and the MHz value will be entered directly in this sub-menu. Or, the RF downlink frequency of a specific carrier on the desired satellite can be obtained from a satellite website and calculated by using the formula RF- LO = IF.

9711IMA-70 Setup – Azimuth Trim Setup – Azimuth Trim Beginning in IMA software version 1.05, calibrating the targeting of your antenna is much easier. This is accomplished improving Sky Search and changing the way that Azimuth Trim works so that the need for Home Flag Offset is eliminated. Azimuth Trim now corrects the relative position of the antenna in all configurations which have valid/accurate gyrocompass input.

9711IMA-70 Setup – Blockage & RF Radiation Hazard Zones 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.
Setup – Blockage & RF Radiation Hazard Zones 9711IMA-70 ZONE 1 named “Fwd Deckhouse” begins (REL Start) at 334 degrees Relative and ends (REL Stop) at 026 degrees Relative. Enter REL Start value of 334.0 and REL Stop value of 26.0. In this case the mast height only causes blockage up to an elevation of 40 degrees, so we set EL to 40.0.
