The following general safety precauons must be observed during all phases of
operaon, service and repair of this equipment. Failure to comply with these
precauons or with specific warnings elsewhere in this user guide violates safety
standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the equipment.
During transmission, the antenna in the system radiates high power levels of radio
frequency. This radiaon is considered health hazardous to any personnel that
come very close to the antenna.
Antenna Radiaon Warning
It is important to maintain a separaon distance from the transming antenna to
any personnel of at least 30cm.
Service
User access to the interior of the terminal is not allowed. Only qualified personnel
authorized by its manufacturer may perform service. Failure to comply with this
rule will result in the warranty being void.
Grounding and Antenna Cables
The terminal has a grounding stud to ground the terminal to the hull of the ship by
using a ground cable.
The antenna cables are shielded and they should not be affected by any magnec
field. It is recommended to avoid the cables being installed in parallel with any AC
wiring as it may possibly cause malfuncon of the equipment.
Ship's Power Supply
The Thuraya SeaStar (including to the Terminal and the Acve Antenna) standby
power is only less than 10W, and the standard operaon average power
consumpon is only 16W. When low signal strength, burst power may beyond 20W.
For the steady operaon, the input voltage for SeaStar System needs a 36W power
supply (may be 12V DC@3A or 24V
[email protected]). It is recommended to use a 24V DC
power line, if available on the ship.
In case of unavailability of a 12V or 24V DC power line on the ship, on external
AC/DC power supply (110/220V AC to 24V DC @ Min 1.5A) can be used, please
