    Site considerations WARNING! To avoid electric shock, do not apply power to the system if there is any sign of shipping damage to any part of the front or rear panel or the outer cover. Read the safety summary at the front of this manual before installing or operating the system.
  • Page 24 For optimum system performance, follow the guidelines on where to install or mount the different units of the SAILOR XTR GX-R2 system. You do not have to align the ADU with the bow-to-stern line of the ship. When configuring the SAILOR XTR GX-R2 system, the azimuth calibration provides the correct azimuth of the ADU.
  • Page 25 Site considerations Ship motion and offset from the shipʼs motion centre When installing the ADU you must consider the mounting height carefully. The higher up the ADU is mounted, the higher is the linear g force applied to the ADU. The g force also depends on the roll period of the ship, see Table 2-2.
  • Page 26 Site considerations 3. Elevate the ADU by mounting it on a mast or on a mounting pedestal on a deck or deck house top to avoid obstruction. Figure 2-2: Signal degradation because of obstructing objects, look angle -18° to 118° Blocking zones –...
  • Page 27 Site considerations Figure 2-4: Blocking zone with no-transmit zones, elevation angle (example) 2.2.3 ADU mast flange and mast length The system is designed for harsh environmental conditions at sea, both in regards to vibration amplitude and speed. The antenna system performs optimally when mounted on a properly designed foundation.
  • Page 28 Site considerations ADU mast flange (S1000 antenna) For best performance, do as follows: 1. Provide a mast flange with a minimum of four gusset plates. 2. Fit the top of the ADU mast with a flange with clearance holes matching the bushings in the radome and with minimum 4 gusset plates.
  • Page 29 Site considerations Figure 2-7: ADU, bottom view (S1000) ADU mast flange (S600 antenna) For best performance, do as follows: 1. Provide a mast flange with a minimum of four gusset plates. 2. Fit the top of the ADU mast with a flange with clearance holes matching the bushings in the radome and with minimum 4 gusset plates.
  • Page 30 Site considerations 3. Make sure that the flatness on the mast mount plateau is below 3,0 mm. Figure 2-9: ADU mast flange, recommended flatness on the mast mount plateau 4. Use the dimensions in the following figure to prepare the mast flange for mounting of the ADU.

  • Page 34 Site considerations 2.2.4 Interference from radar, GPS/GNSS, L-band and other transmitters Do not place the antenna close to interfering signal sources or receivers. For Note allowed distances to other transmitters see Figure 2-13. It is recommended to test the total system by operating all equipment simultaneously and verifying that there is no interference.
  • Page 35 Even at distances greater than “d min.” in the previous section the radar might still be able to degrade the performance of the SAILOR XTR GX-R2 system. The presence of one or more S or X-band radars within a radius up to 100 m may cause a minor degradation of the Ka band connection.
  • Page 36 If L-band antennas are installed on the same vessel, keep a minimum distance of 3 meters from the SAILOR XTR GX-R2 ADU to the L-band antenna. The following figure shows the minimum recommended distance to other transmitters in the frequency range below 1000 MHz.
  • Page 37 Site considerations 2.2.6 Alternative ADU cable The allowed RF loss in the antenna cable is determined by the attenuators of the antenna. The electronic design guarantees that minimum 20 dB RF loss @ 1700 MHz (S1000) and 20 dB RF loss @ 1950 MHz (S600) and maximum 35 dB RF loss @4450 MHz in the antenna cable will work, but typically an RF loss of about 25 dB will be within the limits of the cable calibration.

Definition of blockage In most VSAT installations the VSAT antenna is installed in a position with areas of blockage. Blockage is often caused by the vessel's masts, stacks and other equipment installed on board.
  • Page 133 Performance optimization for blockage Minimum elevation angle One safe way of getting optimum performance under the current conditions is to switch to a satellite in view as fast as possible. This is done by having well defined satellite parameters in the VSAT modem configuration. It is the VSAT modem that has the task of selecting the correct satellite, and since the VSAT modem is only concerned about the satellite visibility at the current geographic position, it is very important to enter the minimum elevation of a satellite at which a stable link can be established.
