    SYSTEM UNITS Introduction The basic system consists of three units: The Communication Unit, the Antenna Unit and the IP Handset with cradle. There are two different types of antennas, depending on whether you have a FEL- COM501 FleetBroadband system or a FELCOM251 FleetBroadband system. Communication Unit The Communication Unit is the central unit in the system.
  • Page 11 1. SYSTEM UNITS Below is the 19” rack version of the Communication Unit. The Communication Unit supplies 18-29 VDC to the Antenna Unit through a single co- axial cable. The DC input for the Communication Unit is designed for both 24 VDC and 12 VDC power supply.

  • Page 12: Felcom501 Antenna Unit

    1. SYSTEM UNITS FELCOM501 Antenna Unit The FELCOM501 Antenna Unit is a mechanical tracking antenna, consisting of a sta- bilized antenna with RF-unit, antenna control unit and GPS antenna. The antenna is dedicated to the Inmarsat BGAN (Broadband Global Area Network) system. All com- munication between the Antenna Unit and Communication Unit passes through a sin- gle coaxial cable.

  • Page 13: Ip Handset & Cradle

    1. SYSTEM UNITS IP Handset & Cradle 1.5.1 IP Handset Besides the normal functions of an IP Handset, the IP Handset also provides a user interface for the FleetBroadband system. The IP Handset connects to the LAN interface of the Communi- cation Unit, and is power supplied with Power over Ethernet (PoE) through the LAN interface.

  • Page 14: Installing The System

    INSTALLING THE SYSTEM Unpacking Unpack your FleetBroadband system and check that the following items are present: • FB-2001 Communication Unit or FB-2001-F19 Communication Unit for 19" Rack • FB-1501 Antenna Unit or FB-1251 Antenna Unit • FB-8001 IP Handset & Cradle, wired •...
  • Page 15 2. INSTALLING THE SYSTEM 2.2.2 Radiation hazard The FELCOM501 Antenna Unit radiates up to 22 dBW EIRP. This translates to a min- imum safety distance of 1.3 m from the antenna while it is transmitting, based on a radiation level of 10 W/m The FELCOM251 Antenna Unit radiates 16.1 dBW EIRP.
  • Page 16 2. INSTALLING THE SYSTEM 2.2.3 Interference Overview The antenna must be mounted as far away as possible from the ship’s radar and high power radio transmitters (including other Inmarsat based systems), because they may compromise the antenna performance. RF emission from radars might actually dam- age the antenna.
  • Page 17 2. INSTALLING THE SYSTEM Radar distance The minimum acceptable separation (d min.) between a radar and the antenna is de- termined by the radar wavelength/frequency and the power emitted by the radar. The tables below show some "rule of thumb" minimum separation distances as a function of radar power at X and S band.
  • Page 18 2. INSTALLING THE SYSTEM CAUTION The antenna must never be installed closer to a radar than "d min." - even if experi- ments show that interference free operation can be obtained at shorter distances than "d min.". Other Inmarsat systems Recommended minimum safe distance to other Inmarsat antennas is 10 m.
  • Page 19 2. INSTALLING THE SYSTEM Other transmitters The figure below shows the minimum recommended distance to transmitters in the frequency range below 1000 MHz. 1•10 1•10 <60 MHz (100 v/m) 1•10 60 - 1000 MHz (10 v/m) Guide for minimal distance from other antennas Other precautions •...

  • Page 21 2. INSTALLING THE SYSTEM FELCOM251 Antenna Unit (FB-1251) - mast mounting • Mounting with the optional Mast Mount Kit (403742A-920-FUR): The mast mount kit interfaces to a 1.5” pipe (OD 48.3 mm). If the supplied plastic sleeve is omitted, a maximum diameter OD of 52 mm can be used. Use a screwdriver, or similar tool, with a 4 mm diameter to fold the grounding foil.
  • Page 22 2. INSTALLING THE SYSTEM Mast length and diameter The placement of the antenna 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 antenna. A small platform or short mast shall provide rigid support for the antenna fastening bolts and a rigid interface to the ship.
  • Page 23 2. INSTALLING THE SYSTEM High masts or installations on ships with high vibration levels should be further stabi- lized by stays or wires from the mast flange. Also mount vibration isolators between the flange and the radome, as described in section 4.9.2. For FELCOM251, the vibra- tion isolators are included in the Mast mount kit.
