    Planning Installation Chapter 4. Planning Installation The antenna installation requires extreme precaution and safety measures given its size and weight. Failure to follow the correct installation process may lead to injury of the installer and/or cause damage to the system. In order to maximize the performance of the system, a thorough review of this installation guide is strongly recommended, as well as executing the installation process as it is noted in this manual.

  • Page 14: Avoiding Rf Interference

    - Maritime VSAT Antenna System 4.1.2 Avoiding RF Interference Do not install the antenna near the high power shortwave radar. Most radar transmitters emit RF energy within an elevation range of -15° to +15°. For this reason, it is recommended to position the antenna at least 4.6 m (15.09 feet) away from the radar.

To protect the cable connectors on the bottom of radome, the antenna is shipped from the factory with protective rubber cap on the RF port.

  • Page 22: Antenna Mounting Hole Pattern

    - Maritime VSAT Antenna System 5.2 Antenna Mounting Hole Pattern Use the supplied mounting template when drilling mounting holes on the mast. The hole placement for the antenna must match the mounting hole pattern on the template. Make a cut-out of a cable hole in the center of the template using the 'Cutting Hole for Cable Hole' pattern to install a cable.

  • Page 23: Designing Mast (Example Only)

    23 ~ 30 mm M8 x 60L To use the supplied bolts (M8 x 40L) for mounting the antenna on a mast, Intellian recommends designing the mast plate thickness is 10 mm. If the bolt length is longer than M8 x 40L, the bolt thread stick-out protruding beyond the nut inside the radome can damage parts of the antenna.

  • Page 25 Installing Above Deck Unit (ADU) WARNING Intellian strongly recommends installing the antenna less than 1200 mm (47") above the deck for safe access and maintenance. When installing the antenna more than 1200 mm (47") above the deck, make sure to have enough working space around the mast where the installer can move WARNING around and put the radome down.

  • Page 26: Routing Rf Cable On Mast (Example Only)

    - Maritime VSAT Antenna System 5.4 Routing RF Cable on Mast (Example Only) The cable must be routed from the antenna and through various areas of the ship to end up at the antenna control 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.

  • Page 27: Connecting Rf Cable To Antenna

    Installing Above Deck Unit (ADU) 5.5 Connecting RF Cable to Antenna 1. Terminate N(M) connector on the end of the RF Cable. Intellian recommends using a genuine cable connector and tools. Refer to the cable termination instructions provided by the manufacturer to terminate the N connector.
  • Page 28 - Maritime VSAT Antenna System 3. Remove the rubber cap from the RF port. Connect the RF cable (customer supplied) from the ANTENNA port of the ACU to the RF port on the radome bottom using an 19 mm spanner. Both side of the connection cable should be terminated using suitable tools.
