10 Series System Configuration(s) 4010W-17 Installation Manual 10 Series System Configuration(s) The 10 Series Stabilized Antenna system is to be used for Transmit/Receive (TX/RX) satellite communications, it is comprised of two major groups of equipment. These are the Above Decks Equipment (ADE) and the Below Decks Equipment (BDE). There will also be interconnecting cables between the ADE &...
4010W-17 Installation Manual 10 Series System Configuration(s) • Customer Furnished Equipment - Satellite Modem and other below decks equipment required for the desired communications purposes (including LAN and VOIP equipment). • Appropriate Coax, Ethernet, and telephone cables 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.
10 Series System Configuration(s) 4010W-17 Installation Manual 1.6. Dual Antenna Arbitrator The Dual Antenna Arbitrator panel can pass LNB voltages (and handle 250-400 ma of current) and the RXIF signals on the RX connections. TXIF, Reference and BUC supply voltage can be passed through this arbitrator panel to the antenna, but it is not recommended that BUC power be supplied through the dual channel rotary joint of the antenna (a BUC power supply is provided on all Series 09 Antenna Pedestals).

Site Survey 4010W-17 Installation Manual Site Survey The objective of the Site survey is to find the best place to mount the antenna & the below decks equipment, the length and routing of the cables and any other items or materials that are required to install the system and identify any other issues that must be resolved before or during the installation.
4010W-17 Installation Manual Site Survey 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 which create signal blockages, sometimes the best mounting position is on a deck or deckhouse top.
Site Survey 4010W-17 Installation Manual For an ADE mounted greater than 0.6 meters (24 inches) above the ship’s structure, at least one (1) foot rung should be added. Additional rungs should be added for every 0.3 meter (12 inches) of pedestal height above the ship’s structure.
4010W-17 Installation Manual Site Survey 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, adapted for mounting the ever-increasing array of antennae ships need to communicate with the world.
Site Survey 4010W-17 Installation Manual support structure will reduce the vibration tendencies. Mounting the antenna directly above the girder columns provides ample support to the antenna pedestal and locates the antenna weight where it will influence the natural frequency of the mast the least. 2.5.4.
4010W-17 Installation Manual Site Survey 2.8.1. ADE/BDE Coaxial Cables The first concern about 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.
Installation 4010W-17 Installation Manual Installation Your antenna pedestal comes completely assembled in its radome. This section contains instructions for unpacking, final assembly and installation of the equipment. It is highly recommended that installation of the system be performed by trained technicians.
4010W-17 Installation Manual Installation 3.3. Installing the ADE The antenna pedestal is shipped completely assembled in its radome. Please refer to the entire Site Survey chapter of this manual. Base Hatch Access - Mounting the radome directly on the deck, or platform prevents access to the hatch in the base of the radome unless an opening is designed into the mounting surface to allow such entry.

Balancing the Antenna The antenna and equipment frame are balanced at the factory however, after disassembly for shipping or maintenance, balance adjustment may be necessary. The elevation and cross-level motors have a brake mechanism built into them, therefore, power must be ON to release the brakes and DishScan and antenna drive must be OFF to balance the antenna.

Setup – Ships Gyro Compass 4010W-17 Installation Manual Setup – Ships 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 ACU 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).

4010W-17 Installation Manual Setup – Tracking Receiver - VSAT 6.5. Volt 6.5.1. VSAT Application Above Decks Powered - The LNB’s installed onto all Series 09 VSAT antenna systems are powered by the antenna itself (above decks), and thus there is no applicable use for VOLT control. For antenna systems that have voltage and tone controlled multiband LNB’s installed, you will use the tracking band selection to control/toggle the voltage output of the ADE 400MHz FSK modem.
Setup – Band Selection 4010W-17 Installation Manual Setup – Band Selection To properly control the band selection of the LNB(s) mounted on the antenna the TRACK DISP (Tracking Display) parameter must be set correctly. Which value the TRACK DISP parameter is set to depends on the hardware configuration of the antenna pedestal.

Setup – Searching 4010W-17 Installation Manual Setup – Searching 10.1. Searching Operation The ACU will initiate an automated search pattern after AGC falls below the current Threshold setting (indicates that satellite signal has been lost). The SEARCH DELAY parameter sets the amount of delay, in seconds, that the ACU will wait after AGC has fallen below the threshold value before it starts a search.
4010W-17 Installation Manual Setup – Searching 10.1.2. Inclined Orbit Search Pattern Some older satellites, in order to save fuel to keep them exactly positioned over the Equator, are in an inclined geosynchronous orbit. The satellite remains geosynchronous but is no longer geostationary. From a fixed observation point on Earth, it would appear to trace out a figure-eight with lobes oriented north- southward once every twenty-four hours.
Setup – Searching 4010W-17 Installation Manual 10.1.3. No Gyro Search Pattern If the ship does not have a gyro compass to use as a heading input to the Antenna Control Unit, you may manually key in the actual heading of the vessel and then re-target the desired satellite, every time you need to re-target a satellite, or configure the ACU to do a “No Gyro Search Pattern”.
4010W-17 Installation Manual Setup – Searching 10.2. Changing the Search Parameters The information above described what some of these parameters need to be set to for a specific search pattern. Below are some additional pieces of information on the other parameters and the steps to change any one of these parameters.

Procedure, Radome Strain Relief Installation Purpose. To define the installation procedure for installing strain reliefs in “smooth base” radomes. Scope. This installation procedure applies to fiberglass radomes having Sea Tel’s standard four-hole mounting pattern, and M12 mounting hardware , in the 80-180 cm (34-66 in) nominal size range, typically referred to as “smooth”...
Page 127
Procedure, Radome Strain Relief Installation Making the holes PLANNING: Space has been allowed for up to 5 ea. strain reliefs, but, install only as many as needed. (Typically only 2-3 for TX/RX systems). Refer to Fig 2 then plan which hole positions to use. For 76-inch radomes lowest holes may be approx 1.5 inches from inside wall corner with floor (ref drawing 129416).
Page 128
Procedure, Radome Strain Relief Installation Measure, mark and drill pilot holes CAUTION: The hole locations cannot be determined accurately from outside of the radome. Using full scale drawing 132234, provided in the strain relief kit, measure mark and drill pilot holes from the inside out, and using only light pressure, use the small drill bit, (~1/8”...
