SYSTEM Saturn Bm Below Decks Equipment – BDE Main Control Unit The Saturn Bm Main Control Unit (MCU) – which constitutes the major electronic part – is designed for wall or desktop installation. The MCU sup- plies 28 VDC power to the ADE through the coaxial cable. The MCU power requirement is 200 W at 11 - 34 VDC (12 V or 24 VDC nominal): - standby 3.5 A, high power 6.7 A, medium power 6.1 A and low power 5.3 A. -

Page 6: Planning
PLANNING Saturn Bm Placing the Antenna Avoiding obstructions For GMDSS installations If the installation shall comply with GMDSS in accordance with the interna- tional standard IEC 61097-10, please note as follows: It is desirable that the antenna be sited in such a position that no obstacle likely to significantly degrade the performance of the equipment appears in any azimuth down to an elevation angle of -5 degrees. - Page 7 PLANNING Saturn Bm Avoiding interference Do not locate the antenna close to interfering signal sources, or in such a position that the source (e.g. radar-antenna) radiates directly into the Sat- urn antenna. The Above Decks Equipment (ADE) should be separated as far as possible from other transmitters, and preferably by at least 5 m from the antenna of other communication or navigation equipment, such as the antenna of the satellite navigator, the VHF antenna or radar equipment.

Page 8: Designing The Antenna Mast
PLANNING Saturn Bm Designing the Antenna mast The mast must be designed to carry the weight of the antenna unit, approxi- mately 90 kg. It must be able to withstand wind forces of up to 120 knots on the radome as well as the onboard vibration levels. The radome is 1.445 m high and has a maximum diameter of 1.42 m. -

Page 15: Placing The Main Control Unit (Mcu)
PLANNING Saturn Bm Placing the Main Control Unit (MCU) The Main Control Unit should be placed in a ventilated area. To ensure ad- equate cooling of the MCU a 10 cm unobstructed space must be maintained around all sides of the unit. See also "Recommended location of units". -
Page 16: Placing The Telefax (Option)
PLANNING Saturn Bm Placing the telefax (option) TEL2 is configured for telefax as default. However, any of the telephone ports can be configured for telefax. Max. cable length 150 m, 0.5 mm min. For connection directly to the MCU, use telephone cable with grounding tail, and employ fax adapter. -
Page 17: Grounding Considerations
If the ground lead from the MCU to the ship’s ground is of lighter gauge, the MCU will be raised to a different ground potential. Nera recommends that the antenna cable screen be clamped to ground at the ship’s deck in such a way that the screen passes through the grounded clamp before the coaxial cable is terminated locally. -

Page 19: Laying Cables
PLANNING Saturn Bm Laying cables The coaxial cable for connection between the MCU and the Antenna Unit should, if possible, be laid before the equipment arrives. Make sure sufficient General length of cable is ordered. Where exposed to mechanical wear (on deck, through bulkheads etc.), the cable should be protected by steel pipes. -
