2.2 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
The information contained here provides general guidelines for installing the BGAN terminal. Read this chapter in its entirety before beginning installation.
2.2.1 Environmental
The BGAN terminal will perform in the environment specified in Table 1-1.
Do not operate the BGAN terminal during electrical storms. Disconnect the terminal from the computer and radio and store the unit indoors if lightening is anticipated in the area of operation. Electrocution may result in severe personal injury or death.
Never use the BGAN terminal where blasting work is in progress. Observe all restrictions and follow any regulations or rules. Do not use the terminal while at a fuel filling station, do not use near fuel or chemicals. areas with potentially explosive environments are often, but not always, clearly marked.

CAUTION
SYSTEM SETUP AND TEARDOWN
Avoid placing BGAN terminal near any source of heat such as an open flame or cigarettes.
2.2.2 Dimension and Weight Information
Refer to Table 1-1 for the dimensions and weights.
2.2.3 Power Requirements
Refer to Table 1-1 for power requirements. Refer to Paragraph 1.9 for the various optional power cables available.
2.2.4 Grounding
Neither the RF-7800B-VU104 or RF-7800B-DU024 require mounting on a ground plane for performance.
2.3 UNPACKING AND REPACKING
Equipment is packed in corrugated boxes. A two-piece foam enclosure protects the equipment against corrosion and rough handling. Boxes and packing materials should be retained in case the equipment is reshipped.
2.3.1 Unpacking
Perform the following procedure to unpack the BGAN terminal:
a. Inspect the exterior of the box for signs of damage during shipment. Document any problems and report
them to the proper authority.
b. Move the boxed equipment to the general location where it is to be installed.
c. After removing the equipment, check the contents against the packing slip to see that the shipment is
complete. Report discrepancies to Harris/RF Communications Product Service Department (telephone: 585-244-5830, toll free: 866-264-8040, web: https://premier.harris.com/rfcomm).
2.3.2 Repacking
Perform the following procedure to repack the BGAN terminal:
a. Use the original box, if it was retained. If not, use a box that allows at least three inches of clearance on
all sides of the BGAN terminal components.
b. Use the original packing material, if it was retained. If not, use foam packing material to fill the space
between the BGAN terminal components and the box. Surround the entire unit with several inches of foam packing material.
c. Use a good quality packing tape (or straps) to seal the box after closing.
2.4 BGAN TERMINAL SETUP
After receiving the USIM card from your BGAN service provider, install the card into the BGAN terminal.

2.5 INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
The paragraphs that follow describe the installation of an BGAN terminal.
2.5.1 RF-7800B-VU104 Installation
RF-7800B-VU104 is intended for installation onto a vehicle roof. Some installation hardware may need to be installer furnished. Tools and installation materials will vary for each application.
a. The four drain holes on the bottom of the RF-7800B-VU104 are shipped in the open position. See
Figure 2-7. This allows any moisture from condensation to drain out. If the operational conditions
require that these be closed, periodic maintenance to open these and drain any moisture will be required. Refer to Paragraph 5.1.
b. If using a magnetic mount, place BGAN terminal on roof of vehicle. Make sure the area is clear before
mounting the antenna using the magnetic mounts. If the mounting area is dirty or covered with snow or ice, the strength of the magnetic mounts may be compromised.
c. If mounting the BGAN terminal on a flat surface using 0.213 - 0.312 inch bolts with 5/16-inch hole
stainless steel flat washers, and 5/6-inch nut, do the following:
1. Make hole pattern template from RF-7800B-VU104 mounting holes.
2. Place template on flat mounting surface and drill holes.
3. Mount RF-7800B-VU104 using 0.213 - 0.312 inch bolts with 5/16-inch hole stainless steel flat washers, and 5/6-inch nut.
d. If mounting the BGAN terminal using a pole mount mast assembly, do the following:
1. Mount the base of the pole mount on a standard 4-bolt antenna base which can support up to 50 pounds (22.68 kg). See Figure 2-9.
2. Mount the BGAN terminal to the pole mount mast.
e. Make data and power connections. Refer to Paragraph 2.5.3.

2.5.2 RF-7800B-DU024 Fixed/Semi-fixed Installation
The Land Portable BGAN Terminal can be mounted on a pole or flat surface (such as a wall or roof) using the Fixed Mount Kit, 12091-4150-01. See Figure 2-10. This kit includes a universal pole mount, incline bracket, bubble level indicator and holder, pole ground cable, and four terminal mounting screws. Items required to mount the universal pole mount to a structure are customer furnished. Proper installation ensures that the BGAN terminal is always correctly pointed at the satellite. The BGAN terminal can then be left alone for an extended period of time without having to be re-pointed or set-up. The fixed mount kit accessory can be re-used to install the BGAN terminal in different locations.
When mounted in a location where access to the BGAN terminal may not be straightforward (for example, mounted high on a wall), set the BGAN terminal to recover automatically after a power outage. To permit this fixed installation, modify the following BGAN terminal properties using the embedded Web interface. See Figure 4-2.
Auto Power On mode is enabled Bypass Antenna Pointing is enabled
The following items are found in the Fixed Mount Kit, 12091-4150-01. Mount to a suitable surface.
