GX TERMINAL FV-110GX
Quick guide
Configuration tasks (minimum)
This quick guide aims at experienced service personnel who have installed the FV-110GX system and
connected power. It lists the minimum configuration tasks you have to make before the system. can be
used on-air on a satellite.
1. Connect a PC to the front LAN connector or the LAN3 connector at the rear of the Antenna Control
Unit.
2. On the ACU keypad, push and hold the left arrow key for 5 seconds and wait for the very short
display of Local administration, followed by the event text: 0807F-0 WARNING Local
administration enable. This gives you temporary administrator access for 1 hour or until next
restart.
3. Open an Internet Browser and type the default IP address of the FV-110GX: http://192.168.0.1 to
access the web interface.
4. Switch on the GMU and wait for the GMU to boot and perform the initial BUC calibration.
5. Verify that the FV-110GX acquires the GX satellite (ACU display shows ACQUISITION).
6. Verify that the system is operational. The status in the ACU display must show TRACKING and
the upper status line MDM: NETOK.

Configuration
task What to do and where to find more information
Heading input Configure the heading input to External under SETTINGS > Navigation. For
more information see Select the desired heading input, see the following table.
on page 5-4.
Connect the ship’s heading (RS-422, NMEA0183) to the NMEA 0183 multi-
connector. Pin 8 Ship Ground/Shield (connect only one end), Pin 9 Line B +, and
Pin 10 Line A-. For more information see NMEA 0183 connector on page 3-3.
TX cable
calibration
Make a Tx cable calibration under SERVICE > Calibration to ensure that Tx
power is calibrated. For more information see Cable calibration on page 5-11.
Azimuth
calibration
Make an azimuth calibration under SERVICE > Calibration to ensure that the
antenna can point and receive a signal from the satellite. For more information
see Azimuth calibration on page 5-7.
Network settings Configure the network settings under SETTINGS > Network according to your
requirements. For more information see To configure the LAN network on
page 5-23.
Satellite profile A satellite profile with the GX Modem is already set up and activated at the
factory. No further profiles are needed.

How to discard this product
Discard this product according to local regulations for the disposal of industrial waste. For disposal in
the USA, see the homepage of the Electronics Industries Alliance (http://www.eiae.org/) for the correct
method of disposal.
How to discard a used battery
Some FURUNO products have a battery(ies). To see if your product has a battery, see the chapter on
Maintenance. If a battery is used, tape the + and - terminals of the battery before disposal to prevent
fire, heat generation caused by short circuit.
In the European Union
The crossed-out trash can symbol indicates that all types of batteries
must not be discarded in standard trash, or at a trash site. Take the used
batteries to a battery collection site according to your national legislation
and the Batteries Directive 2006/66/EU.
In the USA
The Mobius loop symbol (three chasing arrows) indicates that Ni-Cd and
lead-acid rechargeable batteries must be recycled. Take the used
batteries to a battery collection site according to local laws.
In the other countries
There are no international standards for the battery recycle symbol. The number of symbols can
increase when the other countries make their own recycle symbols in the future.

Safety instructions
Read these safety instructions before you operate the equipment.
WARNING
WARNING
Do not open the equipment.
The equipment uses high
voltage that can cause electri-
cal shock. Refer any repair
work to a qualified technician.
If water leaks into the equip-
ment or something is
dropped into the equipment,
immediately turn off the
power at the switchboard.
Fire or electrical shock can
result.
If the equipment is giving off
smoke or fire, immediately
turn off the power at the
switchboard.
Fire or electrical shock can
result.
Indicates a condition that can cause death or
serious injury if not avoided.
Indicates a condition that can cause minor or
moderate injury if not avoided.
WARNING
WARNING
If you feel the equipment is
acting abnormally or giving
off strange noises, immedi-
ately turn off the power at the
switchboard and contact a
FURUNO service technician.
Do not disassemble or modify
the equipment.
Fire, electrical shock or serious
injury can result.
Make sure no rain or water
splash leaks into the equip-
ment.
Fire or electrical shock can
result if water leaks into the
equipment.
Do not operate the equipment
in an explosive atmosphere.
Fire or electrical shock can
result.

Do not place liquid-filled
containers on or near the
equipment.
Fire or electrical shock can
result if a liquid spills into the
equipment.
Do not operate the equipment
with wet hands.
Electrical shock can result.
Use the proper fuse.
Use of the wrong fuse can
cause fire or electrical shock.
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
equipment is being installed.
Ensure the unit is properly
grounded.
Improper grounding can cause
electrical shock or interference
from/with other devices.
Use equipment with a suit-
able voltage rating for ship’s
mains.
Rated voltage is directed at
each unit, and out of range
voltage may cause damage to
the equipment.
Do not approach the FV-110GX
antenna unit when it is trans-
mitting.
The radome emits radio waves
that can be harmful to the human
body, particularly the eyes.

Introduction 1
This chapter has the following sections:
• FV-110GX system
•Part numbers and options
1.1 FV-110GX system
1.1.1 Overview
The FV-110GX is a unique stabilized maritime GX antenna system operating in the Ka-
band (19.2 to 30 GHz). It is used with the Global Xpress service from Inmarsat, delivering
consistent high-performance download speeds of up to 50 Mbps and 5 Mbps over the
uplink. The following figure shows the coverage map of the GX service at global service
introduction.
The FV-110GX system consists of the following units:
• Above Deck Unit (ADU)
• Antenna Control Unit (ACU)
• GX Modem Unit (GMU)
The system only requires a single 50 Ohm cable to provide the Above Deck Unit (ADU)
with both DC power, data and control information. The radome does not have to be
removed neither before nor after the installation. To protect the ADU the built-in DC
motors act as brakes during transport and when the ADU is not powered. You can access
the FV-110GX remotely and make in-depth performance analysis using the built-in web
interface.

The following figure shows the FV-110GX system.
1.1.2 Above Deck Unit (ADU)
The FV-110GX ADU is a 103 cm stabilized tracking antenna, consisting of a suspended
antenna with a standard global RF configuration. It is stabilized by heavy duty vibration
dampers in 3-axis (plus skew) and can be used in environments with elevations of -25° to
+ 125°. The ADU weighs 126 kg and is powered by the ACU. The ADU is protected by a
radome.
All communication between the ADU and the ACU passes through a single standard
50 Ohm cable (with N connector) through the rotary joint. No cable work is required
inside the radome.
There are two types of antenna; new antenna and current antenna.
