    Site Survey 4012 GX 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.

  • Page 18: Mounting Foundation

    The height of the pedestal should be kept as short as possible, taking into account recommendations given in other Sea Tel Guidelines. The minimum height of the pedestal above a flat deck or platform to allow access into the radome for maintenance should be 0.6 meters (24 inches).

  • Page 19: Mounting Height

    2.5. Mast Configurations Sea Tel recommends the ADE be mounted on the ship in a location which has both a clear line-of-sight to the target satellites in all potential azimuth/elevation ranges and sufficient support against vibration excitement. If possible, mounting the ADE pedestal directly to ship deckhouse structures or other box stiffened structures is preferred.

  • Page 20: Vertical Masts

    4012 GX 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.

  • Page 21: Truss Mast

    For every 100 Kilograms of ADE weight over 250 Kilograms, the depth of the platform stiffeners should be increased by 50 millimeters and thickness by 2 millimeters. Sea Tel does not have a recommended arrangement for a truss mast – the variability of truss mast designs means that each installation needs to be evaluated separately.

  • Page 22: Ade/Bde Coaxial Cables

    4012 GX Installation Manual Site Survey moisture exists. The ends of the conduit shall be sealed with cable glands (preferred), mastic or low VOC silicon sealant after the cables have been passed through. Cables passing through bulkheads or decks shall be routed through approved weather tight glands. 2.8.1.

  • Page 23: Grounding

    Site Survey 4012 GX Installation Manual 2.9. Grounding All metal parts of the ADE shall be grounded to bare metal at the mounting pedestal. Grounding straps from the base of the ADE to a dedicated lug on the mounting pedestal are preferred, but grounding may also be accomplished by exposing bare metal under all mounting bolts prior to final tightening.

    4012 GX 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.

    Installation 4012 GX Installation Manual Provide a grounding strap/cable (of adequate gauge for the length) to provide a good ground drain for the antenna pedestal. This cable/strap must also be insulated where it may be exposed to weather. NOTE: Minimum gauge should not be smaller than 10 AWG, even for a short cable run.

  • Page 32: Removing The El Shipping/Stow Restraint

    4012 GX Installation Manual Installation To un-stow the antenna, remove the pin bolt from the LOCK position. Install the pin bolt into the STOW hole and tighten. This assures that it does not get lost and will be ready for re-use if the antenna needs to be stowed again at a later date.
  • Page 33 Installation 4012 GX Installation Manual To un-restrain the elevation axis of the antenna, unthread the two hex nuts. Remove the hex nuts and washer from the stow pin- bolt. Remove the stow pin-bolt from the bracket. Remove the washer from the stow pin-bolt and thread one of the 2 hex nuts onto the bolt and tighten.

    Setup – Ship’s Gyro Compass 4012 GX Installation Manual Setup – Ship’s 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 ICU 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).
  • Page 46 4012 GX Installation Manual Setup – Ship’s Gyro Compass If there is NO Gyro Compass (ie on a large stationary rig which is anchored to the ocean floor) set the GYRO TYPE parameter to “No Gyro” or to “Fixed”. Fixed mode is used when you do not have a gyro compass, but the ship/vessel/rig is stationary at a fixed heading that you can manually enter for satellite targeting.

  • Page 98 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 99 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).
