1. PLANNING
1.1 Placing the Antenna Unit
General
Interfering objects (especially metallic objects such as masts) near the antenna can, in the
worst case, prevent reception or transmission. Further, RF radiation from the antenna will
affect the human body. Keep these and the following guidelines in mind when selecting a
mounting location for the antenna unit.
Secure unobstructed path in all directions
The ideal mounting location secures an unobstructed path between the antenna unit and
the satellites, from horizontal to zenith. In order words, whatever the direction the antenna
unit is pointing there are no interfering objects within the main beam (16°). While this might
be feasible on some vessels, on others it is impossible due to space considerations. The
antenna unit should be located at least 3 meters away from masts having a diameter less
than 15 centimeters.
Select a location low in vibration
The maximum permissible vibration amplitude in three axis direction should be as shown in
the table below. Consult with the shipyard to determine the mounting location which meets
the requirements shown in the table.
Freq. Range Max. Amplitude
4 to 10 Hz
10 to 15 Hz
15 to 25 Hz
25 to 33 Hz

Locate away from passengers and crew
Radio waves can be harmful to the human body. Since safe distances vary by country and
ship construction there is no uniform formula for calculating safe distance. However, below
are general guidelines.
• Personnel should not approach an area in which the radiation level is higher than 10
W/m2, i.e., within 1.00 m from the radome surface.
Do not approatch within 1.00 m of the
antenna radome when it is transmiting.
Microwave radiation can be harmful to
the human body, particularly the eyes.
WARNING
• Construct a protection fence around the antenna unit so that personnel can not approach
the antenna unit within 1.00 m. Also, to alert personnel not to approach the antenna unit,
attach the caution labels (supplied as installation materials) to any bulkhead which is at
the position of 1.00 m from the antenna unit.

3
Minimum distance from other antennas
HF antennas, communication/navigation antennas:
The antenna should be at least 5 meters from a HF antenna. VHF, satellite navigation
antenna and other communication antennas should be at least 4 meters away.
Radar:
The antenna should be at least 5 meters away to protect the low noise amplifier in the radar
antenna. However, if this distance cannot be secured be sure the antenna is not within the
radar beam.
More than 5 m
If installed within 5 m of
radar antenna, the antenna
unit must not be within the
radar beam.
20
30
Distance from radar antenna
Compass safe distance
Locating the antenna unit too close to a compass can affect compass performance. The
compass safe distance is 0.75 meters, steering compass, 0.45 meters, standard compass.
Other mounting guidelines
Other important mounting guidelines are
• Locate the antenna unit away from exhaust stacks (foreign material on the radome can
interfere with reception and transmission).
• Keep the unit away from heat sources.
• Locate the unit away from places where fuels and chemical solvents are stored.
• Keep in mind the length of the cable from the communication unit is maximum 100
meters.

1.2 Designing the Antenna Mast
General
To facilitate servicing, construct a mast of 1500 mm in height and 60 mm in diameter. (See
page 5.) The paragraphs which follow provide guidelines for selection and construction of
the mast. Refer to the drawing at back of this manual.
Guardrail, platform
Fit the mast with a guardrail and platform (or steps), for serviceman’s safety. (In most
installations the serviceman stands on the platform while checking the radome. Thus this
distance should be secured for ease of servicing.) The guardrail should be as high as
possible for sufficient safety.
Mast strength
The mast material must be sufficiently strong to meet the
demands of the marine environment. It should satisfy the
following requirements.
• It must be able to support radome mass plus at least
2.5 cm of ice and snow. Special consideration should
be given if the unit is operated in areas of heavy snow
or freezing temperature.
• Mast bending moment must be able to withstand
expected maximum pitching, rolling and wind pressure.
• To prevent resonance at low frequencies (about 5 Hz),
four stays can be fixed between the mast and the
mounting base.

Mounting pole and mounting base
In order to ensure long life for the antenna electronics and mechanics, the antenna must be
installed properly on a specially designed pole with suitable flange and rubber gasket.
Below are guidelines for installation of the mounting pole and mounting base.
• The pole serves the purpose of protecting the coax cable and its N-type male connector
where it joins the N-type female connector at the bottom of the dome. Further, it is a very
important part of the ventilation system of the dome; the hole in the pipe allows trapped
moisture to escape from the dome.
• The face of the mounting base should be flat as possible (tolerance: within 2 millimeters
of the horizontal plane).
• The mounting base should be parallel with ship’s horizontal plane (tolerance: ±1°).
• The fixing bolts of the mounting base should be parallel with the ship’s keel line
(tolerance: ±2°).
• Weld a ground bolt (stainless steel, M10x40, local supply) to the mast within 50 cm of a
fixing bolt on the antenna unit. The length of the ground wire (local supply) is 50 cm.

1.6 Placing Units
Placing the communication unit
The communication unit should be placed in a ventilated area. To ensure adequate cooling
for the unit, a 10 cm unobstructed space must be maintained above and below the unit.
A space of 10 cm above the unit is also required to allow removal of units.
Locating the communication unit too close to a compass can affect compass performance.
The compass safe distance is 0.30 meters for both steering and standard compasses.
For grounding, see pages 13 and 18.
Six holes through the unit’s mounting plate allow the unit to be fixed to a bulkhead or a
desktop.

With the PC connected to the USB/RS-232/RS-422 port it can also be used for control and
configuration of the Communication Unit.
This requires that the vtLite Marine program accessible on the FELCOM CD is installed.
Connection to the USB/RS-232/RS-422 port also allows 64 kbps data transmission. See the
PC’s user’s manual.
Cable lengths:
• ISDN port: See “ISDN telephones/equipment” on page 27.
• USB port: 3 m
• RS-232 ports: 3 m
• RS-422 port: 100 m

Placing analog telephones (option)
Analog 2-wire telephones can be installed anywhere onboard the
vessel.
The analog telephone DBAR104001/888 (option) should be installed
on a bulkhead.
1.7 Grounding Considerations
A successful installation of a maritime satellite terminal must take into account the noisy
environment in which the equipment shall operate.
Electrical noise
The electrical environment on board a ship is usually quite noisy. Powerful electrical
installations cause voltage variations and transients, as well as low and high frequency
noise. Radio and radar equipment radiate radio frequency signals which frequently
impregnate cables on board with unwanted interference.
Ground plane
Most ships have a steel hull. One should think that the steel construction of the ship would
constitute a good ground plane. This is often not quite true. Rust, other forms of corrosion,
paint and grease, often prevent a good ground connection. A consequence of this is that
high energy power distribution on board a ship can cause significant ground potential
differences.
Antenna unit
Adequate grounding of the antenna unit depends on the fastening bolts making good
contact with the top flange of the mast. This is obtained by removing paint and using
supplied washers and nuts and running a ground wire (local supply) between an antenna
fixing stud on the antenna unit and a ground stud (local supply) bolted to the mast. Coat the
antenna fixing stud and ground stud with silicon sealant. For details, see page 17.
Antenna cable
The antenna coaxial cable normally has a solid or meshed metal screen which must be
terminated to ground both at the antenna pedestal and at the communication unit. The
supplied cable is 25 meters; lengths of 50 m and 140 m are optionally available. If the
ground potential level at the two points differ, the communication unit passing through the
screen of the coaxial cable can be quite strong. The antenna cable screen constitutes a
heavy gauge wire, which is capable of conducting large amounts of current.
Below deck equipment
The communication unit must be provided with a good electrical connection to the ship's
hull for grounding. This is obtained with the supplied ground wire. “Location and grounding
of units” on page 18.
