C700 - Marine Satellite Communication System Chapter 5. Installing ADU 5.1 Antenna Dimensions Confirm the height and diameter of the antenna unit shown in the following figure before installing it. To protect the cable connectors on the radome bottom, the antenna is shipped from the factory with protective stickers on the Inner Holes and protective covers on the Outer Holes .
• Inner Hole Type: Mount the antenna using 'Inner Drill Holes' (with M6 Bolts). Intellian offers the Antenna Pole Mount Kit (separate purchase) that uses Inner Holes (with M6 Bolts) to mount the antenna on a pole.
The installation mast must be robust enough to prevent flection, vibration, and sway when an external force is exerted on the mast with antenna and radome. Intellian strongly recommends installing the antenna less than 1200mm (47") above the deck. The flange thickness must be at least 8 mm. Refer to the following mast drawing for more details.
C700 - Marine Satellite Communication System 5.4 Mounting Antenna The lower radome has two types of industry-standard mounting holes, each with four mounting points. Select one of the two mounting types to secure the antenna to the desired mounting surface. Bring the provided Antenna Mounting Template and the ADU Bolt Kit from the ADU package.
5.4.3 Mounting Antenna on Pole (Optional) Intellian offers the Antenna Pole Mount Kit (separate purchase) to mount the antenna on the pole. The kit is designed to work on the 40A pole. The kit has mounting holes that match the inner hole with M6 bolts on the bottom of the antenna.
C700 - Marine Satellite Communication System 3. Place the antenna on the pole-mounted bracket then tighten them using bolts. Before assembling bolts, apply Loctite #263 to the bolt's threads to ensure the bolts are fastened firmly. x Four Times M6 Flat Washer Use a torque wrench.
Installing ADU 5.6 Connecting RF Cable to Antenna The cable must be routed from the antenna and through various areas of the ship to end up at the Below Deck Unit. When pulling the cables in place, avoid sharp bends, kinking, and excessive force. After placement, seal the deck penetration gland and tie the cable securely in place.
