1MOUNTING OF UNITS
This chapter describes how to mount the units of the system, including optional equipment.
1.1 Antenna Unit
1.1.1 Mounting considerations
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 (12 degrees). 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.

Beam direction
Select a location low in vibration
The maximum permissible vibration amplitude in three axis direction should be as shown in
the table at the top of the next page. Consult with the shipyard to determine the mounting
location which meets the requirements shown in the table.
The table at the top of the next page is taken from Inmarsat’s System Definition Manual
(SDM) and defines frequency and maximum vibration amplitude.

0.23 mm (max. 9.8 m/s²)
Half Vibration
Max. amplitudes
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.
•Unprotected persons should not approach an area in which the radiation level is higher than 100
W/m2.For an Inmarsat B antenna, the radiation level is less than 100W/m2 at 1 meterdistance from
the radome surface.
•Unprotected persons should not approach within 6 meters of a transmitting Inmarsat antenna.
WARNING
Do not approatch within 6 meters of the
antenna radome when it is transmiting.
Microwave radiation can be harmful to
the human body, particularly the eyes.
Minimum distance from other antennas
HF antennas, communication/navigation antennas:
The FELCOM 82 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 for the FELCOM 82 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
FELCOM 82 antenna unit is not within the radar beam.

3
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 antenna radar
Compass safe distance
Locating the antenna unit too close to a compass can affect compass performance. The
compass safe distance is 1.10 meters, steering compass, 1.60 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.
1.1.2 General mounting (construction of mast)
General
To facilitate servicing, construct a mast more than 1 meter in height from the deck. The
paragraphs which follow provide guidelines for selection and construction of the mast.
Refer to the drawing at back of this manual.
Guardrail, platform
When the mast is tall, fit it with a guardrail and platform (or steps), for serviceman’s safety
and convenience.
For servicing ease, the distance between hatch and the deck (or platform) to the antenna
unit should be about 1 meter. (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.

4
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 centimeters 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.

5
Mounting base
A mounting base is installed between the mast and the antenna unit. Below are guidelines
for installation of the mounting base.
1. The face of the mounting base should be flat as possible (tolerance: within 2 millimeters
of the horizontal plane).
2. The mounting base should be parallel with ship’s horizontal plane (tolerance: ±1 degree).
3. The fixing bolts of the mounting base should be parallel with the ship’s keel line
(tolerance: ±2 degrees).
4. Weld a ground bolt (stainless steel, M12x40, local supply) to the mast within 50 cm of the
ground terminal on the antenna unit. The length of the ground wire (supplied) is 50
centimeters.
5. Make four holes on the mounting base to face drain holes of the antenna unit.
Mounting base
Make drain holes.
Drain holes
Changing hatch direction
The standard hatch direction is stern, as shown in 1 in the figure below. If the hatch cannot
face the stern, it may face port, starboard or bow direction as shown in 2, 3 and 4 in the
figure below. Note that the location of the cable gland changes with hatch direction. After
changing hatch direction, change the disk position setting for the limit switch. See Chapter 3.

Unpacking
•Check that if the antenna unit is damaged by shipment.
•Unpack the antenna unit carefully so as not to damage it.
Remove hex nut, spring washer, flat washer, large washer and fixing material to dismount
the antenna unit. This hardware can be discarded.

Unpacking, visual inspection
Carefully unpack the radome and
check for damage.
Procedure
1. Run lifting rope through eye bolts
and shackles.
2. Cover the portion of the radome
which contacts the lifting rope with
protective material (rubber mat,
etc.), to prevent damage to the
radome when hoisting it to the
mounting location.
3. Hoist the antenna unit to the
mounting location.
4. Fix the antenna unit to the
mounting base (see note below)
with nuts, keeping in mind hatch
direction (standard direction is
stern).

5. If necessary, replace eye bolts
with hex. bolts (supplied).
Note1: Coat all bolts and nuts with
silicone sealant to prevent electrolytic
corrosion.
Note2: Do not use a rubber gasket on the mounting base. The face of the mounting base
should be flat as possible (tolerance: within 2 mm of the horizontal plane).
If tolerance is more than 2 mm, insert a metal spacer between the antenna bottom
and the mounting base. For earth wiring, see Chapter 2.

Environmental conditions
The mounting location should satisfy the following conditions. This unit can be mounted on
the top or underside of a table.
•The usable temperature range is –15 to +55 °C.
•Select a location which is well ventilated.
•The location should be clean, and moderate and stable in temperature and humidity.
•Be sure to leave sufficient space around the unit for maintenance and checking.
•Locate the unit well away from high power HF band radiotelephones and antenna feeders.
•Be sure the mounting location is strong enough to support the weight of the unit under conditions of
vibration normally encountered on the vessel.

10
1.2.2 Mounting
Procedure
Before mounting the unit, lay cables, fabricate connectors and establish the ground system.
Then, mount the unit as follows.
Note:Do not install the communication unit on a bulkhead because of its weight.
1. Fix the arms at both sides of the equipment to the mounting location with four tapping
screws (5x20, supplied as installation materials). The tapping screws should be fastened
loosely.
2. Slide the equipment away, and then fasten tapping screws tightly.
