Preparing Installation

The antenna installation requires extreme precaution and safety measures given its size and weight. Failure to follow the correct installation process may lead to injury of the installer and/or cause damage to the system. In order to maximize the performance of the system, a thorough review of this installation guide is strongly recommended, as well as executing the installation process as it is noted in this manual.

Selection of Installation Site

The system should be placed in an area onboard the vessel with little to no RF signal blockage. When the antenna is transmitting, obstacles in way of the beam path will cause decreases satellite signal strength. The antenna unit should have direct line-of-sight with the desired satellite without any obstacles in the beam path. Certain minimum distances between the antenna and other onboard devices must also be considered during installation.

Minimize Satellite Blockage

Install the antenna in accordance with the following procedures to ensure maximum performance of the antenna. The ideal antenna site should have a clear view of the horizon or satellite with all around clearance. Please be sure there are no obstacles within the EL range -20° to +115° from the center of the antenna. Obstacles can prevent the antenna from transmitting and receiving the satellite signal.

NOTE: The rate values of the azimuth, elevation, and cross-level axes were calibrated to the optimal condition at the factory prior to shipment. If the additional rate adjustment is required, make sure that the antenna is placed on a rigid and ﬂat platform. During the calibration process, the antenna must avoid any motion as it can affect the antenna's performance.

Enter "Setup Mode" to modify settings.

Calibrates DC voltage output from the three rate sensors used to sense antenna motion in azimuth, elevation and cross-level axes. These are used to sense antenna motion that corresponds to the ship's motion (roll, pitch, and yaw) for stabilizing the pedestal.
