SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not open the equipment
unless totally familiar with
electrical circuits and
service manual.
Only qualified personnel
should work inside the
equipment.
WARNING
Turn off the power at the
mains switchboard before
beginning the installation.
Post a sign near the switch
to indicate it should not be
turned on while the equip-
ment is being installed.
Fire, electrical shock or
serious injury can result if the
power is left on or is applied
while the eqiuipment is being
installed.

1. MOUNTING THE UNIT
NOTICE
Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant or contact spray to coating
or plastic parts of the equipment.
Those items contain organic solvents that can damage coating and plastic
parts, especially plastic connectors.
1.1 Antenna Unit
Mounting Location
• Mount the omnidirectional antenna unit high atop a mast clear of stays and the turning
diameter of a radar antenna. The ideal mounting location would be where no obstacle
appears in the fore and aft directions down to -5º and down to -15º in the port and
starboard directions. This concept is illustrated in the figure below. Shadow sector of the
antenna mast, whip antenna, etc. should be within 2 degrees at one meter from the
antenna unit.

Antenna unit mounting location
• If both Inmarsat-B/F and Inmarsat-C ship earth stations are installed, separate the
Inmarsat-B/F antenna at least 8 m from the Inmarsat-C antenna.
• Separate the antenna unit from an S-band radar as follows:

• The allowable vibration level as specified by Inmarsat is as shown in the table below.
Allowable vibration level
Frequency Level
2 to 10 Hz 2.54 mm Peak Amplitude
10 to 100 Hz 9.8 m/s² Peak Acceleration
• Avoid the location near funnels and stacks; smoke and soot on the radome can lower
signal level.
• Separate the antenna unit 5 m from HF, VHF or 27 MHz antenna.
Mounting
The antenna cable is available in lengths of 30 m, 50 m and 100 m (see table below).
Cable length Type Remarks
30 m (no armor) TP5FBAW-5DFB TNC connector at both ends
30 m (w/armor) 5D-FB-CV-NP
50 m (w/armor) 8D-FB-CV
100 m (w/armor) 12D-SFA-CV
N connector on one end (antenna side)
To mount the antenna unit, an exclusive pipe is necessary.
Note 1: Do not shorten these cables. Interference can result, affecting performance.
Note 2: To mount the antenna unit with the optional antenna mounting kit (Type:
CP16-03701, Code No.: 004-555-000), see page D-13.
Locally prepare an antenna mast with a ground stud (M6 stainless steel bolt welded to
antenna mast) and mounting pipe with threads and plate (See the outline drawing of the
mounting plate shown on the next page.) Weld the mounting pipe to the antenna mast.
The distance between the stud and the earth terminal on the antenna unit should be within
340 mm, which also is the length of the supplied earth wire.

Use local supplied pan head screws (M4x20) when the thickness of the bulkhead is from 11
to 14 mm. For bulkhead which exceeds 14 mm in thickness the length of the pan head
screws should be bulkhead thickness A +7.8±2 mm. Also the length of B should be max. 8
mm (B≤8 mm).
