Understanding safety alert messages Safety alert messages call attention to potential safety hazards and tell you how to avoid them. These messages are identified by the signal words WARNING or CAUTION, as illustrated below. To avoid possible property damage, personal injury, or in some cases possible death, read and comply with all safety alert messages.
Chapter 1 Introduction The purpose of this guide is to provide assistance to personnel installing the Thuraya IP Voyager mobile satellite terminal into a vehicle. This terminal must be installed by Authorized Service Personnel. Note: Damages resulting in the failure to conform to the instructions found herein, as well as standard installation practices, will be the responsibility of the installer.
The Thuraya Mobility (Land Mobile) kit is shipped with the following contents: Model Hughes part Description number Thuraya IP Voyager 3500462-0004 Radio, Thuraya IP Voyager (kit) (9105) Land Mobile kit 9506197-0001 WLAN antenna (2.4 GHz, 3 dB) 3500472-0001 Power cable with 3-pin connector...
Power port The power port is the connection from the power supply (vehicle battery or some other 12 or 24Vdc power source) to the BDU. The power cable has a positive DC power line, a Remote Switch line and a negative DC power line. Line type Pin number V+ DC power line...
The antenna cable carries DC power; do not connect or disconnect the antenna cable while the unit is powered on. ONLY use the Thuraya Land Mobile Antenna Type HN221 with this BDU – use of other antennas may damage the BDU and Antenna and shall void the warranty.
0287015. To replace the fuse, pull fuse out of fuse holder (pliers may be needed to grip fuse) and press new fuse into fuse holder. Spare fuses are provided with your Thuraya IP Voyager terminal. Power Cable The Power cable uses a Phoenix contact #1718384 PC5/3 STCL-7, 62 connector and the pinout is shown in the Table below.

Chapter 2 Standard Cable connections In addition to the DC power connection, an ignition sense connection must be made. This is done using the three-wire power cable. In the case of a vehicle installation, the power source is typically the vehicle battery. Cables should be routed appropriately, cable ties and clamps should be used as required to ensure that vibration and/or rubbing of the cables does not occur.
Chapter 3 Below Deck Unit (BDU) Install The BDU is generally located in an area accessible by the operator and protected from water and heat. The ADU is generally located in a position to give clear line of sight to the satellite and to avoid exposure of microwave radiation to personnel.
BDU mounting information 1. The BDU can be mounted in either the horizontal or vertical position. 2. Install the BDU in a protected but ventilated area. Allow at least a 1-inch space around top and sides to provide adequate cooling. 3.
Antenna Installation When the Thuraya IP Voyager terminal is powered up - avoid exposure to microwave radiation. Keep a minimum safe distance of 1 meter (39 inches) to the side and above the antenna.

Do not locate the antenna close to interfering signal sources or receivers. It is recommended that no other antennas be located within three meters of the Thuraya Mobility antenna. If there is other equipment installed near the Thuraya IP Voyager terminal, it is recommended to operate all equipment simultaneously and verify there is no co-interference.
Antenna Mounting Always install the antenna so that it is in a horizontal position, even if the surface on which it is installed e.g. roof of a vehicle, is not horizontal. The antenna has three drainage holes at the bottom. Always install the antenna so that clearance between bottom of antenna with drainage holes and mounting surface is no less than 5 mm and preferably 10mm, refer to Fig.2.
Antenna Magnetic Mounting Three magnetic mounts (part number 1502819-0003) are optional for the antenna installation. These mounts will withstand 100 mph wind force when properly installed on a flat metal surface such as a vehicle’s roof. The magnet mount consists of three individual high-intensity magnets with rubber coating.
Antenna Vibration The antenna is designed to meet the following operational vibration levels in any of three perpendicular directions measured at the mounting base of the radome Random Vibration: 1.05 grms with the following spectral density 5-20Hz………….0.02g 20-150Hz……….-3dB/octave Single Frequency Vibration: 5-10Hz with amplitude 2.54 mm 10-15Hz with amplitude 0.76mm 15-25Hz with amplitude 0.40mm...
