Grounding, cables and connections
To minimize shock hazard, the equipment chassis and cabinet must be connected to an
electrical ground. Both terminal and antenna must be grounded to the ship. For further
grounding information refers to the Installation manual.
Do not extend the cables beyond the lengths specified for the equipment.
The cable between the terminal and antenna can be extended if it complies with the specified
data concerning cable losses etc.
All cables for the FB250 FleetBroadband system are shielded and should not be affected by
magnetic fields. However, try to avoid running cables parallel to AC wiring as it might cause
malfunction of the equipment.
3 Installation Guide ANTENNA (ADU)
Installation of the 3 axis antenna on a post is done according to Annex A. The diameter of the
post shall preferably be between 35 and 50 mm using the standard clamp supplied in the kit.
Annex A is self explaining. Notice the TORQUES for bolts and nuts.
A small loop should be made on the coax cable near to the plug SPAC M00233 in order to be
able to pull the cable about 15 cm up through the Mounting Pole, when the antenna is
installed or removed.
