2.3 Power requirements
Depending on your particular TT-3000 System you will need AC supply or a DC supply.
A TT-3000 Integrated Capsat System operates on either 115 VAC, 220 VAC or floating
DC in the range from 10.5-32 Volt. The total power consumption varies with the
particular system in question.
As a guide-line, please note the power consumption of the following equipment:
TT-1542B Call Alarm 0.6 W
TT-3022A Capsat Transceiver incl. antenna 9.5W RX 80W TX
TT-3602D SVGA Monitor 60 W
TT-3606A Message Terminal, incl keyboard. 8W
TT-3608A Printer 33W
TT-3042B Remote Alarm 2.5W 7W Print
Option 005 Built-in GPS 2W
Table 3: Capsat System component power requirements.
2.3.1 AC mains operation
As the TT-3020B Capsat Transceiver is designed to work on floating DC ranging from
10.5 - 32 Volt, an AC/DC converter is needed in case the Transceiver is subject to work
in AC environments.
2.3.1.1 Integrated Capsat System
For a TT-3000 Integrated Capsat System with an IBM compatible PC we recommend the
TT-3680A Power Supply.
The TT-3680A Power Supply operates on either 115 VAC or 230 VAC. (internally
selectable) and supplies 24 VDC/96 Watt as a maximum.
The TT-3680A will adjust the DC output level (10.5 - 32 Volt) according to the total load.
The TT-3680A Power Supply may be connected to the emergency batteries offering
automatic switch-over to DC in case of a mains line drop-out.
For a TT-3000 Integrated Capsat System with a TT-3608A Message Terminal we
recommend the TT-3680B Power Supply.

2.3.1.2 Power connector
The battery connector matches the Thrane & Thrane standards for battery connectors.
Regardless whether the unit is designed to work on floating DC or modified to match
your DC requirements the pin assignment of the DC/Battery power connector looks like
this:
PPin eName i sc tSignal Description
1SGND Safety Ground
2SUP+ Supply Voltage, positive terminal
3SUP- Supply Voltage, negative terminal
4ON/OFF Remote ON/OFF Switch
Table 4: TT-3020B Capsat Transceiver DC Power Connector pin assignment
Pin 4 is a unique feature for the TT-3020B Capsat Transceiver.
When this pin is left floating the Transceiver is turned off, but if pin 4 is shorted to the
negative terminal of the battery or DC-supply the Transceiver will switch on. This
makes it possible for other equipment to perform remote power control of the TT-3020B.
The remote power control can be triggered by an external relay or solid state switch.
The battery connection is floating, i.e. there is no galvanic connection from any of the
battery poles to the cabinet frame.

If you install your system in a permanent location, we recommend that you, after the
installation of the antenna, wrap the connector with the enclosed self-bonding tape,
disabling water from penetrating the connection.
2.4.5 Mounting considerations
2.4.5.1 TT-3001B-opt. 001 Maritime Antenna
When installing the Maritime Antenna you should find a location on the vessel that is as
free from obstructions as possible. Also you should maintain a certain distance to other
antennas, especially radar installations. Normally the best place for the antenna would
be above radar scanning antennas. The following safe distances should be maintained:
Distance to HF antennas > 5 m
Distance to VHF antennas > 4 m
Distance to magnet compass > 3 m
The antenna is designed to provide satellite coverage even when the vessel has pitch
and roll movements up to 15°. To maintain this coverage the antenna should be free
from obstructions in the area down to 15° below the horizon. Since this may not be
possible in the fore and aft directions of the vessel, the clear area can be reduced to 5°
below the horizon in the fore and aft directions and 15° below the horizon in the port
and starboard directions. Any compromise in this recommendation will degrade
performance.

15°
Obstructions should be below these lines

If an obstruction such as a pole or a funnel is unavoidable, the following guidelines
apply:
The distance to the obstruction should large enough, so that the obstruction only covers
3 degrees. This means that the safe distance is:
Safe distance = 20 * Diameter of obstruction
Example:
Obstruction is a 4" pole. Diameter = 0.1 m. Safe distance is 20 * 0.1 m = 2 m
Max. obstruction angle 3 degrees Capsat

2.4.6 Safety Distance for Antenna Units
The safety levels for the Thrane & Thrane INMARSAT-C Antenna Units are based on the
ANSI standard C95.1-1982 "American National Standard Safety Levels With Respect to
Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 300 kHz to 100 GHz"
This standard recommends the maximum power density at 1.6 GHz exposed to human
beings not to exceed 5 mW/cm².
At the maximum radiated output power from the INMARSAT-C Antenna (16 dBW EIRP)
this corresponds to a minimum safety distance on 30 cm.
To be sure that this distance is respected the Thrane & Thrane INMARSAT-C Antenna
Units are provided with a label declaring a minimum safety distance on 2 feet (61 cm).
In the future standards from the European Telecommunication Standard Institute (ETSI)
concerning 1.5/1.6 GHz Satellite Earth Stations the recommendation will be maximum
8W/m² (0.8 mW/cm²). This tighter recommendations correspond to a minimum safety
distance on 60 cm at 16 dBW, so these future European recommendations are also
covered within the declared minimum safety distance on 2 feet (62 cm).

2.5 TT-3020B Capsat Transceiver
Figure 4: TT-3020B Capsat Transceiver
2.5.1 Mounting bracket
The TT-3020B Capsat Transceiver is supplied with an universal mounting bracket (41-
100562) which allows "over" or "under" mounting to e.g. a table or ceiling.
It is recommended that the Transceiver is mounted in an open air location allowing the
operator full access to the front panel in a distress situation.
When the Transceiver is used with other Thrane & Thrane equipment such as the
TT-3606A Message Terminal or the TT-3210A Radiotelex Modem, stacked mounting may
be achieved using mounting bracket 41-100742.
It is strongly recommended not to stack mount the TT-3020B Capsat Transceiver with
the TT-3680A Power Supply because of the heat generation from this unit.
2.5.2 Communication port
The TT-3020B Capsat Transceiver communicates with a controller device via the
standard EIA RS-232D ports, located on the rear panel at X4.
2.5.2.1 Baudrate and protocol settings
