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 in this manual may
violate the safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the equipment. Cobham assumes
no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these requirements.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection may be impaired.
During transmission the AVIATOR UAV 200 SATCOM terminal can radiate microwave power in any direction
not screened by the aircraft fuselage. High levels of radio frequency radiation are considered harmful to
health. Although all countries have not agreed upon a single value, the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999) recommends that according to General Public Requirements a person
should not be exposed to radiation stronger than 1 mW/cm2at the frequencies used in this terminal.
Accordingly, the operator of the system should ensure that no person should approach within 50 cm (1.6 ft)
of the terminal when it is transmitting.
Electrostatic Discharge Caution
The terminal contains items that are electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive. Use approved industry
precautions to keep the risk of damage to a minimum when you touch, remove or insert parts or assemblies.
Under extreme heat conditions or prolonged transmission periods, do not touch metal parts of the AVIATOR
UAV 200, as this may result in injury.

The terminal is designed to be internally mounted below a protective radome/dust cover or RF transparent
fuselage section. A soft radome/dust cover is fitted for the purpose handling and environmental protection.
The terminal has all the components of a traditional aeronautical SATCOM system namely a steerable
phased array Low Gain Antenna (LGA), High Power Amplifier (HPA), Diplexer/Low Noise Amplifier (DLNA)
with an ATCt resilient mode, and a Modem that manages the interaction with the satellite network,
modulation/demodulation functions as well as providing the user interfaces.
The remaining airframe requirements for terminal operation are limited to DC power, navigation data (for
antenna steering) and heat sinking or cooling into the aircraft structure or ambient environment.

4.5 INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Before you start to install the terminal, read the following sections carefully:
Terminal location and mounting considerations
Structural modifications, painting and sealing
Wiring Diagram
Grounding
Alignment and installation limitations
4.5.1 Terminal Mass and CG
The mass of the AVIATOR UAV 200 is approximately 1.45 kg with a Centre of Gravity (CG) as shown in the
mechanical outline drawing, 677-A0219_OD [2]. The mass and CG will need to be used in the CG calculation
of the aircraft after installation.
4.5.2 Terminal Cooling Considerations
Install the terminal so that the flanges can dissipate heat into the mounting/airframe structure, or the
surrounding air. The aircraft structure can be used to dissipate the heat into the air stream during flight.
During standby mode (receive only) the terminal dissipates approximately 8 W of power. This increases up
to 25 W while transmitting.
The terminal is capable of operating over the temperature range of -40 °C to +55 °C [-40 °F to +131 °F].
Operating the terminal outside of the operating temperature range may be degrade its performance as part
of self-protection mechanisms.
When operating the terminal on the ground where no or minimal airflow is available, additional cooling may
be required for long test runs.
4.5.3 Terminal Location
The terminal must be installed under a radome/dust cover or RF transparent fuselage section with the
greatest possible clear view of the sky.
Ensure that UAV 200 is installed such that aircraft components don’t cause RF beam blockage. The installer
must ensure the equipment is mounted so as to ensure minimal RF blockage.

4.5.3.1 Co-location with Other Systems
The AVIATOR UAV 200 has been designed to pass relevant RTCA DO-160G Radiated Emission tests [refer to
Table 7-1]. RF Transmissions from the terminal may still affect the operation of other RF systems in some
cases.
The installer must evaluate the system RF susceptibility before deciding on the location of the SATCOM
terminal.
4.5.3.2 Aircraft Structure
The terminal should be secured to the airframe using the six mounting holes provided. These mounting
points are also used for electrical grounding.
The equipment must be mounted on a thermally conductive section of the aircraft structure or mounting
plate that will provide cooling for the terminal.
4.5.4 Sealing
The UAV 200 terminal allows for pressure equalization with a breathable Gortex™ membrane. The
breathable membrane prevents the ingress of fluids.
Mount the terminal so that water does not accumulate on the underside of the terminal. This ensures the
Gortex™ membrane cannot become blocked by constant contact with water on the membrane.
4.5.5 Wiring the AVIATOR UAV 200
Connect the wiring for the AVIATOR UAV 200 terminal as described below.
1. Make sure that the aircraft wiring installation complies with the wiring requirements shown below in
Figure 3-1 to achieve the DO-160G performance criteria. The cable length used during qualification
is 3.3m.
2. Use screened twisted pair cable for the Ethernet and RS-232 interfaces.
3. Keep the shield termination wire length as short as practically possible. The maximum shield
terminal wire length must be shorter than 50 mm.
4. In order to maximise terminal power efficiency, keep the series resistance of the power cabling as
low as possible. The power cable resistance must be lower than 150 mΩ between the power source

and the terminal connector. Multiple DC power pins are provided to reduce the series resistance of
the power cable bundle. If long power cable runs are required, a larger gauge wire will need to be
used over the length of the cable, and reduced to the appropriate gauge wire at the connector pin.
5. The Power Source for the UAV 200 Terminal should be 12VDC to 32VDC of at least 28W.

4.5.6 Grounding
The AVIATOR UAV 200 terminal is grounded through the Alodined aluminium contact areas shown in Figure
4-5. The airframe attachment points should be free of paint and suitably protected against corrosion,
providing the ground path when the terminal is mounted. The resistance between the terminal base and the
airframe should be less than 5 mΩ.

The Installer must take galvanic corrosion effects into account when dissimilar materials are used for
bonding.
4.5.7 Alignment and Installation Limitations
The installer must consider the following factors when installing the terminal:
Alignment and installation offset angles
RF blockage
Co-location with other systems/antennas
Aircraft structure
The terminal may be mounted with any side facing forward relative to the aircraft to facilitate compact
installations. By default, side A is the side facing forward, see Figure 4-6.

Figure 4-6: AVIATOR UAV 200 Orientation
The terminal may be slightly misaligned with the aircraft roll, pitch or yaw axes as shown below in Figure
4-7.
Figure 4-7: Axes Definitions.
The installation offset angles must be compensated for by the terminal to ensure optimal system
performance.
Mounting the terminal as level as possible ensures the terminal has a symmetric view of the satellite.
Perform the following steps to measure and configure the installation offset angles:
1. Measure the roll, pitch and yaw offsets using a clinometer with measurement accuracy of better
than 0.25°.
2. Roll and pitch attitude offsets of the antenna can be determined by subtracting the aircraft attitude
angles from the terminal attitude angles.
3. Measure the aircraft attitude angles with the clinometer on an appropriate reference surface.
4. Measure the terminal attitude angles with the clinometer placed on the terminal mounting surface.
5. Measure the yaw installation offset angle using an accurate compass or protractor with reference to
the centreline of the aircraft.
6. Programme these values into the UAV 200 terminal using the Web Interface DASHBOARD.
