Safety Instructions
For the sake of safety and protection, read the manual before attempting to use
the Fleet One User Equipment (UE).
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases
of operation, service and repair of this equipment. Failure to comply with these
precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this user guide violates safety
standards for the intended use of the UE.
Inmarsat assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these
requirements.
Hazard Symbols
Heated Surfaces Avoid touching those areas of the UE that are
being marked with this symbol otherwise it may
result in injury.
Antenna Radiation
Warning and Distance to
other Radiation Equipment
For safety reasons, all personnel must keep at
least 2 meters from the antenna.
Power Supply Turn o the power at the mains switchboard be-
fore beginning the installation.
Confirm the power voltage is compatible with
voltage rating of the equipment. It is highly
recommended to use a +24V DC power line, if it is
available on the vessel.
If there is no +24V DC power line provided by the
vessel, an external AC/DC power supply with an
input of 115/230V AC and an output of +24V DC
can be used.
Note: Be certain that the AC/DC power supply is
adequate to handle a high surge current of 25A at
24V DC for 1ms.

Equipment Ventilation
To ensure adequate cooling of the equipment, 5 centimeters of unobstructed
space must be maintained around all sides of the unit except the bottom side.
The operational temperature range of the transceiver is: -25°C to +55°C.
Fire Precautions
The equipment shall not be operated in the presence of flammable gases or
fumes as well as any explosive atmosphere. Operation of any electrical equip-
ment in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
Obtaining Licensing For Inmarsat Transceivers
Under rights given under ITU Radio Regulations, local telecommunications admin-
istrations establish and enforce national rules and regulations governing types of
emissions, power levels, and other parameters that aect the purity of signal, which
may be radiated in the various frequency bands of the radio spectrum.
To legally operate Inmarsat equipment, it is necessary to obtain permission from
the local telecommunications regulatory authorities of the country from which
you are operating. Using your equipment in any country without permission
causes you to run the risk of confiscation of the equipment by the local authori-
ties. The normal procedure to bring such equipment into another country is to
apply for a license before travel. If a license has not been obtained before travel,
the equipment may be put in to storage by local authorities until such time that a
license is obtained.
Grounding, cables
and connections
Service
The chassis of the equipment must be connected
to an electrical ground. This will minimise electric
shock and mutual interference. In short, the UE
must be grounded to the vessel.
Do not attempt to gain access to the interior of
the UE. Only qualified personnel authorized by its
manufacturer may perform service operations.
Failure to comply with this rule will result in the
warranty being void.
Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may
exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid
injuries, always disconnect power before access-
ing the UE.

1.1 Introduction
The Fleet One UE consists of three units;
>Below Deck Unit (BDU) which is a communication unit
>Above Deck Unit (ADU) which is an antenna unit
>Wired Primary handset with cradle
1.2 Above Deck Unit
The ADU is a 3-axis controlled antenna unit which is self-tracking.
The radome covers the antenna unit, which is comprised of
>Antenna Module
>RF and GPS Module
>Rotary Joint
>Antenna Pedestal
The antenna module includes a low noise amplifier (LNA), high power amplifier
(HPA), and tracking receiver circuitry. All the signals and DC power pass through a
single coaxial antenna cable, which connects the ADU to the BDU.

1.3 Below Deck Unit
The BDU is the heart unit of the Fleet One UE. It has several interface ports and
handles all communication links between the ADU, primary handset and the local
communication devices such as analog telephone, computer, network equip-
ment, navigation equipment etc.
The BDU is supplied by +12V or +24V DC power supply and it supplies power to the
ADU via a single RF / coaxial antenna cable.
1.4 Wired Primary Handset with Cradle
The wired Primary Handset has a colour liquid crystal display (LCD) and keypad
for making and receiving normal voice calls and sending SMS, similar to any mo-
bile phone. The handset is provided with a cradle.
Additionally, it can serve as a remote access device for user to access various
configuration parameters supported by the BDU.
The Primary Handset’s connector is plugged into the BDU’s primary handset port.
It is powered directly from the BDU.

2 Installation of the User Equipment
2.1 Installation of ADU
2.1.1 Overview
In general, any obstructing objects like a mast near the antenna unit can block
reception or transmission from the satellite’s line of sight. In addition, RF radiation
emitting from the antenna will aect the human body. When selecting a mount-
ing location, it is important to ensure that the antenna unit shall be free of severe
vibration and shock and heat and smoke from funnel. More guidelines will be
detailed in the next sections.
2.1.2 Radiation Hazard
Radio waves can pose a hazard to the human body. Safe distances are changed,
subjected to country guidelines and ship construction. There is no standard for-
mula to calculate the safe distance. The below guidelines are to be noted.

2.1.3 Interference
The antenna unit must be mounted as far as possible away from the ship’s radars,
MF/HF antennas, communication/navigation antennas, VSAT systems and any
high power radio transmitter (including other Inmarsat-based systems).
As for a ship’s radar (see below), it is dicult to provide the exact minimum
distance between a radar and the antenna unit due to dierent type of radars in
terms of power, radiation pattern and operating frequency band.
The antenna unit is recommended to be at least 5 meters away from the radar
position and at least ±15° from the radar’s vertical beam.

2.1.4 Obstruction
The mounting position of the antenna unit especially its line-of-sight are possibly
obstructed by any large obstacle on a vessel or ship. This will result in the degra-
dation of the satellite signal. It is very important to choose the ideal installation
site on the upper deck to minimise the satellite blocking.
Examples of the large obstacles are:
>Upper Deck and funnel of ship
>VSAT with its radome

>Large mechanical structure mounting of radars
With the understanding of the large obstacles, it helps in the decision of the
installation site with the reduction any of the physical obstructions.
2.1.5 Antenna Mast
The antenna unit should be located at least 3-meters away from the ship’s mast
having a diameter of less than 15cm.
For Fleet One ADU, if the antenna mast is available on the vessel and it is free of
any shock or vibration, its physical size shall support the weight and size of that
Fleet One ADU. An example of the antenna mast is illustrated as below.
