Safety summary
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation,
service and repair of this equipment. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific
warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture and
intended use of the equipment. Thrane & Thrane A/S assumes no liability for the customer's
failure to comply with these requirements.
Microwave radiation hazards
During transmission the Above Deck Unit (antenna) in this
system radiates Microwave Power.This radiation may be
hazardous to humans close to the Above Deck Unit. During
transmission, make sure that nobody gets closer than the
recommended minimum safety distance.
The minimum safety distance to the Above Deck Unit
reflector on the focal line is 30 m for SAILOR 1000 XTR Ku 8W
and 47 m for SAILOR 1000 XTR Ku 16W, based on a radiation
level of 10 W/m2. No hazard exists >18° below the Above
Deck Unit’s mounting plane. Refer to the drawing below.
No-transmit zones
In order to protect
personnel no-transmit
zones can be
programmed. For further
information see
Blocking zones –
azimuth and elevation
on page 2-4.
Distance to other
equipment
Do not move the Above
Deck Unit closer to
radars than the
minimum safe distance
specified in section
Interference from
radar, GNSS, L-band and
other transmitters on
page 2-11 — it may cause damage to the Above Deck Unit.
MICROWAVE RADIATION
No personnel within safety distance

Compass Safe Distance:
SAILOR 1000 XTR Ku 8W and SAILOR 1000 XTR Ku 16W antenna or ADU (Above Deck Unit):
min. 170 cm (IEC 60945).
SAILOR 7516A BDU (Below Deck Unit): min. 30 cm (IEC 60945).
Service
User access to the interior of the BDU is prohibited. Only a technician authorized by Cobham
SATCOM may perform service - failure to comply with this rule will void the warranty. Access to
the interior of the Above Deck Unit is allowed. Replacement of certain modules and general
service may only be performed by a technician authorized by Cobham SATCOM.
Grounding, cables and connections
To minimize shock hazard and to protect against lightning, the equipment chassis and cabinet
must be connected to an electrical ground. The BDU must be grounded to the ship. For further
grounding information see the respective sections and appendix in this manual.
Do not extend the cables beyond the lengths specified for the equipment. The cable between
the BDU and Above Deck Unit can be extended if it complies with the specified data
concerning cable losses etc.
Rx and Tx cables for the system are shielded and should not be affected by magnetic fields.
However, try to avoid running cables parallel to high power and AC/RF wiring as it might cause
malfunction of the equipment.
Power supply
SAILOR 7516A BDU: voltage range 100-240 VAC. The ADU is powered by the BDU.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere
Do not operate the equipment in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any
electrical equipment in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
Keep away from live circuits
Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers. Component replacement and internal
adjustment must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Do not replace components
with the power cable connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even
with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and discharge
circuits before touching them.
Failure to comply with the rules above will void the warranty!
