Designing Mast (Example Only) - Intellian v45C Installation & Operation User Manual

5.3 Designing Mast (Example Only)

The installation mast must be robust enough to prevent flex, vibration, and sway when an external force is
exerted on the mast with antenna and radome. Refer to the following mast drawings for more details.
NOTE
This is a general example of routing cables on the mast. The routing method is may differ
depending on the ship's environment.
NOTE
WARNING
The recommended thickness of the mast plate is 10 mm. The minimum thickness of the mast
plate must be 5 mm. If the thickness of the mast plate is different from the recommended size,
choose right sized bolts for mounting the antenna on the mast according to the table below. The
quality of bolts must be equal to or better than supplied bolts by Intellian (Recommend using the
WARNING
same brand bolt).
Mast Plate Thickness
5 ~ 10 mm (Recommended)
8 ~ 15 mm
13 ~ 20 mm
18 ~ 25 mm
23 ~ 30 mm
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
A
radome can damage parts of the antenna.
If the bolt length is shorter than M8 x 40L, the supplied antenna-mast mounting bolts can be too short to
B
mount the antenna on the mast securely.
