SAILOR 60 GX
Quick guide
Configuration tasks (minimum)
This quick guide aims at experienced service personnel who have installed the SAILOR 60 GX system and
connected power. It lists the minimum configuration tasks you have to make before the system can be
used on-air on a satellite.
1. Switch on the Antenna Control Unit only.
2. Connect a PC to the front LAN connector or the LAN3 connector at the rear of the Antenna Control
Unit.
3. Open an Internet Browser to access the SAILOR 60 GX: IP address: http://192.168.0.1 (default), user
name: admin, password: 1234.
4. Switch on the modem and wait for the modem to boot and perform the initial BUC calibration.
5. Verify that the SAILOR 60 GX acquires the GX satellite (ACU display shows ACQUISITION).
6. Verify that the system is operational. The status in the ACU display must show TRACKING and the
upper status line MDM: NETOK.
98-148247-A
Important
Do not switch on the modem at this point.
Configuration task What to do and where to find more information
Heading input Configure the heading input to External under SETTINGS > Navigation. For
more information see Select the desired heading input, see the following table.
on page 6-4.
Connect the ship’s heading (NMEA0183, RS-422/RS-232) to the NMEA 0183
multi-connector. For more information see NMEA 0183 connector on page 4-3.
Azimuth
calibration
Make an azimuth calibration under SERVICE > Calibration to ensure that the
antenna can point and receive a signal from the satellite. For more information see
Calibration on page 6-7.
Cable calibration Make a cable calibration under SERVICE > Calibration to ensure that the cable
loss is calculated properly. For more information see Cable calibration on page 6-
11.
Satellite profile A satellite profile with the GX Modem is already set up and activated at the
factory. No further profiles are needed.

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, based on a radiation level
of 10 W/m2. No hazard exists >28° 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 with azimuth and elevation on page 3-5.
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, GPS and other transmitters on page 3-11 – it may cause
damage to the Above Deck Unit.
MICROWAVE RADIATION
No personnel within safety distance
Safety distance:
30 m, 10 W/m2
28°

Compass Safe Distance:
SAILOR 60 GX antenna or ADU (Above Deck Unit): min. 100 cm (ENC 60945).
SAILOR 60 GX ACU (Antenna Control Unit): min. 10 cm (EN 60945)
Service
User access to the interior of the ACU is not allowed. 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, you must connect the equipment
chassis and cabinet to an electrical ground. Ground the ACU to the ship. For further details see
Appendix B, Ground and RF protection.
Do not extend the cables beyond the lengths specified for the equipment. The cable between
the ACU and Above Deck Unit can be extended if it complies with the specified data
concerning cable losses etc.
Rx and Tx cables for the SAILOR 60 GX 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
this might cause malfunction of the equipment.
Power supply
The voltage range for the SAILOR 60 GX ADU and ACU is 20 – 32 VDC. The Above Deck Unit is
powered by the ACU.
If a DC power bus is not available, an external 115/230 VAC to 28 VDC power supply can be
used, for example a SAILOR 6080 Power Supply.
The voltage range for the SAILOR 60 GX modem is 100 – 240 VAC. The socket-outlet shall be
installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
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!
After installation make this manual available to the user for further reference.

Introduction
Introduction 2
This chapter has the following sections:
•SAILOR 60 GX system
•Part numbers and options
2.1 SAILOR 60 GX system
2.1.1 Overview
The SAILOR 60 GX is a unique stabilized maritime GX antenna system operating in the Ka-
band (19.2 to 30 GHz). It is used with the Global Xpress service from Inmarsat, delivering
consistent high-performance download speeds of up to 50 Mbps and 5 Mbps over the
uplink. The following figure shows the coverage map of the GX service at global service
introduction.
The SAILOR 60 GX system consists of the following units:
• SAILOR 7006A Above Deck Unit (ADU)
• SAILOR 7016B Antenna Control Unit (ACU)
• SAILOR 7023A GX Modem Unit (modem)
• SAILOR 6080 AC/DC Power Supply Unit (optional)
The system requires a single 50 Ohm cable to provide the Above Deck Unit (ADU) with both
DC power, data and control information. The modem requires AC power. The radome does
not have to be removed neither before nor after the installation. To protect the ADU the
built-in motors act as brakes during transport and when the ADU is not powered. You can

Introduction
GMU with 8+2 LAN, RS-232 and RS-422 and I/O connector.
No scheduled maintenance.
2.1.2 Above Deck Unit (ADU)
The SAILOR 60 GX ADU is a 65 cm stabilized tracking antenna, consisting of a suspended
antenna with a standard global RF configuration. It is stabilized by heavy duty vibration
dampers in 3-axis and can be used in environments with elevations of -28° to + 120°. The
ADU weighs 37 kg and is powered by the ACU. The ADU is protected by a radome.
All communication between the ADU and the ACU passes through a single standard
50 Ohm cable (with N connector) through the rotary joint. No cable work is required inside
the radome.
