Page 28: Initial Inspection
What’s in the box 2.1.2 Initial inspection Inspect the shipping cartons immediately upon receipt for evidence of damage during transport. If the shipping material is severely damaged or water stained, request that the carrier's agent be present when opening the cartons. Save all box packing material for future use.
Page 29: Site Preparation
(switch off). FURUNO recommends that the radome should NOT be painted. Painting the radome will not void the general warranty regarding material and workmanship etc. It is only the performance that cannot be guaranteed.
Page 30: Obstructions (Adu Shadowing)
Site preparation 2.2.2 Obstructions (ADU shadowing) The ADU is stabilized in 3-axis (plus skew) and can be used in environments with elevations of -28° to + 120° to allow for continuous pointing even in heavy sea conditions. The ADU beam is approximately 0.6 m in diameter for the first 30 m from the ADU.
Page 31: Blocking Zones With Azimuth And Elevation
Site preparation 2.2.3 Blocking zones with azimuth and elevation Your installation may require that you set up blocking zones for the ADU, i.e. areas where the ADU will not transmit and areas where transmit power is potentially dangerous for persons frequently being in these zones. You can set up 8 blocking zones. Each blocking zone is set up with azimuth start and stop, and elevation angle.
Page 32: Safe Access To The Adu (Radiation Hazard)
Site preparation 2.2.4 Safe access to the ADU (radiation hazard) The ADU radiates up to 50.4 dBW EIRP at 29.5 GHz. This translates to a minimum safety distance of 30 m from the ADU while it is transmitting, based on a radiation level of 10 W/m MICROWAVE RADIATION NO PERSONNEL within safety...
Page 33: Ship Motion And Offset From The Ship's Motion Centre
Site preparation 2.2.5 Ship motion and offset from the ship’s 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 2-1.
Page 34: Mast Foundation And Height
Site preparation 2.2.6 Mast foundation and height The ADU mast must be designed to carry the weight of the ADU (34 kg), plus the weight of the mast flange. The mast must also be able to withstand on-board vibrations and wind speeds up to 110 knots on the radome, even in icing conditions.
Page 35 Site preparation CAUTION! Avoid sharp edges where the flange is in direct contact with the radome. Round all edges as much as possible to avoid damaging the surface of the radome. 3. Allow sufficient space so the nut is free of the welded seam and there is room for tools (min.
Page 36 Site preparation Mast length and diameter The placement of the ADU must ensure a rigid structural connection to the hull or structure of the ship. Parts of the ship with heavy resonant vibrations are not suitable places for the ADU. A small platform or short mast shall provide rigid support for the ADU fastening bolts and a rigid interface to the ship.
Page 37: Interference From Radar, Gps, L-Band And Other Transmitters
Site preparation 2.2.7 Interference from radar, GPS, L-band and other transmitters Do not place the ADU close to interfering signal sources or receivers. We Note recommend to test the total system by operating all equipment simultaneously and verifying that there is no interference. Mount the ADU as far away as possible from the ship’s radar and high power radio transmitters, because they may compromise the ADU performance.
Page 38 Site preparation Radar distance The minimum acceptable separation (d min.) between a radar and the ADU is determined by the radar wavelength/frequency and the power emitted by the radar. The tables below show some “rule of thumb” minimum separation distances as a function of radar power at X and S band.
Page 39 Site preparation The presence of S-band radar(s) is unlikely to cause any performance degradation – as long as the minimum distances (d min.) listed in the previous section are applied. It is strongly recommended that interference-free operation is verified experimentally before the installation is finalized.
Page 40: Condensation, Water Intrusion And Deposits
Site preparation 2.2.8 Condensation, water intrusion and deposits In some weather conditions there may occur condensation inside the radome. The drain tube is designed to lead any water away from inside the radome. Observe the following guidelines for condensation and water intrusion: 1.

Page 129: The Questions
Frequently asked questions 7.8.2 The questions Q1: What is OTC and what happens? OTC stands for One Touch Commission. OTC is similar to a P1dB compression test for VSAT but on multiple frequencies. The GMU will instruct the antenna to point away from the Clark belt (geostationary satellites), disable the Power Amplifier (PA) of the BUC and use a built-in Power Detector to measure the gain of the system from GMU tx- connector up to BUC PA.
Page 130 Frequently asked questions Q4: How do I start a manual OTC procedure? You start a manual OTC procedure from the web server of the GMU. The GMU (iDirect Core Module) does NOT support Internet Explorer, use Mozilla Firefox or Chrome! 1.
Page 131 Frequently asked questions Q8: How do I log in to the GMU Linux shell? Make an SSH connection (Freeware: PuTTY.exe) to the ACU on IP port number 8022. Example: ssh 192.168.0.1:8022 User and Password: root / iDirect or root / iDirect123! Q9: ACU stays in BUC CALIBRATION state almost forever, what can I do? Make a new manual OTC and wait until the GMU reboots and sends a new pointing request to the ACU.
Page 132 Frequently asked questions Go to ADMINISTRATION - TERMINAL to upload the new TERMINAL_OPT.json file. Figure 7-20: TERMINAL_OPT.json configuration file See also Q5: What is the login to the GMU webserver? on page 7-24.

Page 134 Frequently asked questions Q15: I do not have Internet access using the IP address for the UserNET VLAN. Why? 1. Go to the ACU web server SETTINGS - NETWORK. 2. Scroll down to the bottom to find the VLAN table which shows the network configuration done over the air by the Inmarsat system to the GMU.
Page 135 Frequently asked questions 7. Use the command help to show all available GMU commands. Q17: The antenna is pointing in a wrong direction, what is wrong? You have probably not made an azimuth calibration yet, or maybe moved the antenna recently during a stationary test setup.
Page 136 Frequently asked questions Q19: After successful azimuth calibration the antenna is still pointing in a wrong direction, what is wrong? You have made a successful azimuth calibration, but the antenna status stays in the status ACQUISITION. The reason for this may be that the antenna has found another GX satellite than the one you intended it to use for the azimuth calibration.
