• Page 37: Site Preparation

  For optimum system performance, some guidelines on where to install or mount the different components of the SAILOR 900 VSAT System must be followed. It is recommended to mount the ADU in a location with as much 360° free line of sight to the satellite as possible while making sure that the support structure fulfills the requirements for the mast foundation.

• Page 38: Obstructions (Adu Shadowing)

  Site preparation 3.2.2 Obstructions (ADU shadowing) Place the ADU so that it has as much free line-of-sight as possible without any structures in the beam through one full 360 degrees turn of the vessel. Do not place the ADU close to large objects that may block the signal.

• Page 39: Blocking Zones — Azimuth And Elevation

  Site preparation 3.2.3 Blocking zones – azimuth and elevation Your installation may require that you set up blocking zones for the ADU, i.e. areas where the ADU will not transmit and areas where transmit power is potentially dangerous for persons frequently being in these zones. You can set up 8 blocking zones. Each blocking zone is set up with azimuth start and stop, and elevation angle.

• Page 40: Safe Access To The Adu: Radiation Hazard

  Safe access to the ADU: Radiation hazard The SAILOR 900 VSAT ADU radiates up to 49 dBW EIRP. This translates to a minimum safety distance of 30 m from the ADU while it is transmitting, based on a radiation level of…

• Page 41: Ship Motion And Offset From The Ship’s Motion Centre

  Site preparation 3.2.5 Ship motion and offset from the ship’s motion centre Even though it is recommended to mount the ADU high, keep the distance between the ADU and the ship’s motion centre as short as possible. The higher up the ADU is mounted, the higher is the linear g force applied to the ADU.

• Page 42: Adu Mast Design: Foundation And Height

  Site preparation 3.2.6 ADU mast design: Foundation and height The ADU mast must be designed to carry the weight of the ADU unit, which is 126,5 kg (SAILOR 900 Var. B) or (SAILOR 800) (+ the weight of the mast flange). The mast must also be able to withstand on-board vibrations and wind speeds up to 110 knots on the radome, even in icing conditions.

  SAILOR 900 VSAT ADU. Therefore it is recommended to ensure as much vertical separation as possible when the SAILOR 900 VSAT ADU has to be placed close to a radar antenna.

• Page 48: Table 3-5: Minimum Radar Separation, X-Band

  S band. If the d min. separation listed below is applied, antenna damage is normally avoided. “d min.” is defined as the shortest distance between the radar antenna (in any position) and the surface of the SAILOR 900 VSAT ADU. X-band (~ 3 cm / 10 GHz) damage distance SAILOR 900 VSAT ADU Radar d min.

• Page 49: Radar Interference

  Even at distances greater than “d min.” in the previous section the radar might still be able to degrade the performance of the SAILOR 900 VSAT system. The presence of one or more S or X-band radars within a radius up to 100 m may cause a minor degradation of the Ku-band connection.

  The following table shows the data of the LNBs which are fitted in the ADU. The SAILOR 900 VSAT is designed to make any Ku Band frequency in the range of 10.7 GHz to 12.75 GHz available to a VSAT modem by allowing the user to select the LNB LO of his choice – without having to exchange the physical LNBs in the ADU.

• Page 155: Vsat Lnb User Installation And Configuration Information

  LO must be in the range of 9.6 GHz to 11.3 GHz (Optimum values are 9.75 GHz and 10.75 GHz as these match the physical LNB values). All VSAT modems that can be used with SAILOR 900 VSAT use this approach for selecting the LO frequency, except a COMTECH modem with ROSS server. A COMTECH modem with ROSS server reads switching signals by means of a data connection instead of using voltage and tone signals.

  Grounding and RF protection Why is grounding required? F.1.1 Reasons for grounding Grounding the SAILOR 900 VSAT system is required for at least two reasons: • Safety: Lightning protection of persons and equipment. • Protection: ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge) protection of equipment. F.1.2 Safety First of all grounding of the system is required for safety reasons.

• Page 204: Grounding Recommendations

  Grounding Recommendations Grounding Recommendations F.2.1 To ground the ACU The ACU should be grounded to the ship/hull. For this purpose you may use a short ADU cable and a grounding kit. Further, the ACU must be grounded at its grounding stud in order to ensure proper grounding if the short ADU cable is disconnected.

• Page 206: To Ground The Adu

  Alternative grounding for steel hulls The ACU provides galvanic isolation (as required) from its input power terminals to the chassis/grounding stud. This way the isolated grounding arrangement is maintained. F.3.2 To ground the ADU For optimum grounding use the mounting bolt located closest to the ADU cable Note plate, see To ground the ADU on page 3-23.
