Confirm that the power supply voltage
is compatible with the voltage rating
of the equipment.
Connection to the wrong power supply
can cause fire or equipment damage. The
voltage rating appears on the label at the
rear of the communication unit.
Use the correct fuse.
Use 10 A fuse (defalt setting) for 12 VDC
power supply, or replace the fuse to 5 A
(supplied as spare parts) with 24 VDC.
Use of wrong fuse can result in damage to
the equipment.
Keep the following compass safe
distances.

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
• There should be no interfering object within the line-of-sight to the satellite. Objects within
line-of-sight to a satellite, for example, a mast may block transmission/reception. Mount
the antenna unit as high as possible. This keeps it free of interfering objects and water
spray. The location should be well away from a GPS antenna. A GPS receiver may be
interfered by the Inmarsat C wave.
• If both Inmarsat-B or F ship earth stations are installed, separate the Inmarsat-B/F
antenna at least 8 m.
• Separate the antenna unit from an S-band radar as follows:
HORIZONTAL LINE
Install above this line
PROHIBITED
ZONE
1.5 m
5 m
15
2 m
S-band radar
INSTALLTION
ZONE
2 m
S-band radar and installation area
• 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 15 m, 30 m, 50 m and 100 m (see table below).
Cable length Type Remarks
15 m (no armor) TP58A15W-RG58A/U
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-LITE-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-4.
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 below.) 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 ground wire.
Note: Use of the mounting pipe (FURUNO supply or the equivalent) is mandatory in case of
FFA version. See the equipment list at the beginning of this manual for information.

1.2 Communication Unit
Mounting
Select the following place to mount the communication unit.
• Provide sufficient ventilation.
• For maintenance and checking purpose, leave sufficient space at the sides and rear of
the unit.
Use two tapping screws (4x40, supplied) to fix the communication unit. You can insert
screws from the top and bottom side of the communication unit for bulkhead mounting.
After the screwing, attach the cosmetic caps (2 pcs, supplied) to fixing holes to cover the
screw head.

And then, attach a label for 5 A to the
fuse cover on power cable.
Use of wrong fuse can result in damage
to the equipment.

the pin from the hole in the pin.
(Pull the pin with approx. 1 kg of force to
check strength of solder joint.)
- Be sure the solder is flush with surface of
pin.
- Be sure there is no gap between center
pin and insulator. Do not push the center
pin into the insulator.
- Do the soldering as quickly as possible so
as not to deform the insulator.
Set the ring and insulator ring onto the
cable.
Set the shell to the cable then turn the nut
to tighten. (Do not tighten by turning shell.)
- Use a wrench or the like to tighten the nut
securely.
