Figure 2: Antenna Dimensions

Before you begin, consider the following antenna installation guidelines.

Plan the Antenna Installation

Choose a Suitable Mounting Surface

• Make sure the mounting surface is wide enough to accommodate the antenna’s base (see Figure 2).

• Make sure the mounting surface is flat, level (within ±1º), rigid enough to withstand heavy vibration, and strong enough to support the antenna. The antenna weighs 240 lbs (109 kg), excluding cables.

• Select a location that is as close as possible to the intersection of the vessel’s centerline and midships.

• If available, install the antenna on a platform or pedestal, rather than on a deck, and ensure the diameter of the mounting surface matches the diameter of the antenna’s base (19.01" (48.29 cm)). Both service hatches should be fully accessible for installation and service.

• Avoid placing the antenna near any magnetic compasses or other onboard antennas to prevent potential interference.

Prevent RF Radiation Exposure

Select a location that is well above any areas accessible to passengers and crew to reduce the risk of RF radiation exposure. (See page 1 for an illustration of the hazard area.)

If mounting the antenna near an accessible area is unavoidable, you may configure one or two notransmit zones to prevent transmissions in hazardous directions. (See “Set Up No-Transmit Zones” on page 29 for details.)

Continued Plan the Antenna Installation

Minimize Satellite Blockage

The antenna requires a clear view of the sky to transmit and receive satellite signals (see Figure 3). The fewer obstructions, the better the system will perform.

Avoid RF Interference

Although many variables determine the exact distance required between the antenna and radar/high-power radio transmitters, including transmitter beam properties and the reflective properties of nearby surfaces, consider the following general guidelines when selecting a safe antenna location:

• Mount the antenna as far away as possible from the radar and any high-power radio transmitters.

• The minimum distance between the antenna and the radar varies depending on the power level of the radar and the vertical separation you maintain between them. Using the guidelines provided in Figure 4, mount the antenna at least the minimum distance away from the radar.

Plan the Belowdecks Installation

Before you begin, consider the following installation guidelines for the belowdecks units.

• Select a mounting location in a dry, wellventilated area belowdecks away from any heat sources or salt spray.

• Be sure the front panels will be easily accessible to the user.

• Leave enough room at the rear panels to accommodate the connecting cables.

• You have three options for mounting the belowdecks equipment:

Option 1 - In the optional case

Option 2 - In an onboard equipment rack

Option 3 - To a horizontal surface

NOTE: The CommBox-ACU and modem are sized to fit a standard 19" (482.6 mm) rack, occupying 3U of space.

• To use the supplied data cable, the CommBox-ACU must be located close enough to the antenna to allow a 100 ft (30 m) cable run between them. However, you can order a longer data cable, if necessary:

150 ft (45 m): KVH part no. 32-1157-0150

300 ft (90 m): KVH part no. 32-1157-0300.

• Be sure the location provides adequate Wi-Fi reception. Do not install it in an area surrounded by metal or near any electrical devices that emit RF noise.

• RF cables must be rated for 75, not 50.

• Low-quality, poorly terminated, or improperly installed RF cables are the most common cause of system problems. Terminate all RF cables with high-quality “F” connectors using the proper stripping/crimping tools, exactly to the manufacturer’s specifications.

• Make sure the center conductor pin at each end of the finished cables is 1/4" (0.20"-0.28") (5-7 mm) in length, measured from inside the nut to the tip, to ensure proper engagement. Instructions for

terminating LMR-400-75 cable are provided on page 36.

• Each RF cable run must not exceed 6.5 dB of insertion loss. Keep in mind that an inline connector adds at least 0.2 dB of loss.

• Cables must be at least 25 ft (8 m) in length.

• Call KVH Technical Support if you need to use cables longer than 200 ft (60 m). An antenna setting might need to be adjusted over the air for the longer cable run.

• When determining cable lengths, don’t forget to account for service loops, approximately 8" (20 cm) at each end.

IMPORTANT!

Follow these steps to prepare and route the RF, power, and data cables to the antenna location.

Prepare the Antenna Cables

Prepare the Customer’s RF Cables

You need to connect two 75 RF coax cables from the antenna location to the belowdecks equipment. Refer to Figure 16 to determine the type of cables and connectors required for your cable run. Then prepare both of them as described below.

0.065" (1.65 mm) dia.

Figure 45: AC Power Options

Before you begin, be sure that you understand the following important requirements:

AC Power Requirements

The TracPhone system is designed to run on 3-wire single-phase AC power (hot, neutral, and ground). Voltage between hot-neutral and hotground should each measure between 100-240 VAC.

Many large ships use two-phase, split-phase, or delta power instead (3 wires: hot, hot, and ground; no neutral). In this case, voltage between hot-hot measures the proper voltage (100-240 VAC); while hot-ground measures only half the voltage (50-120 VAC). Although the TracPhone system can operate on this type of power, the excess voltage present on the second phase will cause a small amount of current to leak onto ship's ground. This leakage current might be unacceptable on some vessels. So check with the customer or ship's electrician and get permission before you run the system on two-phase power. Also be sure to ground the system (see below).

If two-phase power is the only available power source onboard, and if leakage current is unacceptable, KVH recommends that you install a suitable isolation transformer to supply singlephase power to the antenna system and run a ground wire from the transformer to ship's ground. In addition, since ground fault protection devices cannot detect faults behind a transformer, you will also need to install a ground fault monitoring device between the isolation transformer and the antenna system if ground fault protection is required on the vessel.

Connect Power

Grounding Requirements

Proper grounding of the TracPhone system to ship's ground is critically important, as it protects the equipment from lightning and electrostatic discharges (ESD). Failure to ground both the chassis of the CommBox-ACU and the antenna’s AC power cable to the ship’s common ground risks damage to the antenna and electric shock.

Page 26

Figure 46: Power Wiring

Continued Connect Power

Once you understand the requirements listed on page 24, follow these steps to connect power.

a. Before you begin, disconnect vessel power

and be sure the vessel is properly grounded in accordance with marine standards.

b. Connect the supplied AC power cords to the

CommBox-ACU and modem (see Figure 46).

c. Connect the supplied ground wire from the

ground screw on the CommBox-ACU rear panel to ship’s ground.

Failure to ground the TracPhone system properly to ship's ground will cause an unsafe floating ground condition, risking damage to the antenna and electric shock, potentially resulting in DEATH. In a

floating ground condition, the difference between the equipment's chassis ground and the ship's ground can measure well over 100 volts, when it normally should not exceed 25 volts. Therefore, always measure the difference in potential between chassis ground and ship's ground to make certain that there is no dangerous floating ground condition, even if the ground pin of the vessel's AC power plug appears to be intact.

Figure 69: Customer Welcome Kit Figure 70: Example of Satellite Blockage

Figure 71: Help Options on Support Page

Give the Welcome Kit to the customer, make sure they know the administrator password, and show them how to use the system. Be sure they understand the following:

• The antenna transmits RF energy that is potentially harmful. Whenever the system is powered on, make sure everyone stays the minimum safe distance away from the antenna (see illustration on page 1). If notransmit zones were set up, make sure the customer understands where they are.

• Read the End User Agreement carefully (available at www.kvh.com/

mvbcustomercenter). Pay particular

attention to the Use of Service section.

• Keep the radome and service hatches installed on the antenna at all times. The radome protects the antenna’s moving parts from wind, rain, and debris.

Educate the Customer

• The antenna must have a clear view of the sky to communicate via satellite. Common causes of blockage include masts, trees, buildings, and bridges (see Figure 70). Dirt buildup on the radome can also affect communications.

• The vessel must be located within the coverage area of the satellite (see

www.kvh.com/minivsatmap).

• The system must be activated for mini-VSAT Broadband service (see www.kvh.com/

mvbservice).

Terminating LMR-400-75 Cable

These instructions explain how to terminate an LMR-400-75 RF cable with an EZ-400-FMH-75 “F” connector using the tools from the TK-400EZ-75 tool kit. For more detailed instructions, refer to the Times Microwave website (www.timesmicrowave.com).

1. Using the CCT-01 cutting tool, cut the cable evenly (see Figure 72).

2. Since cutting the cable can deform the end, gently round the end of the cable using a pair of needle-nose pliers (see Figure 73). Also make sure the center conductor is centered within the cable.

3. Place the heat shrink sleeve and metal ferrule onto the cable (see Figure 74).

4. Insert the end of the cable into the #1 end of the ST-400EZ stripping tool (see Figure 75). Then rotate the tool clockwise around the cable until the tool turns easily. The end of the cable should now be stripped to expose the center conductor.

Appendix

Page 38

Figure 76: Removing Plastic Residue Figure 77: Stripping the Cable Jacket

Figure 78: Cable Stripped, Exposing Dielectric

Figure 79: Deburring the Center Conductor

5. Using a utility knife, carefully remove any residual plastic from the center conductor, if necessary (see Figure 76).

6. Insert the end of the cable into the #2 end of the ST-400EZ stripping tool (see Figure 77). Then rotate the tool clockwise around the cable until the tool turns easily. This removes the cable jacket from the end of the cable, exposing the braid and dielectric (see Figure 78).

7. Using the DBT-02 tool, deburr and chamfer the center conductor (see Figure 79). Avoid nicking the aluminum tape covering the dielectric.

Figure 81: Pushing On the Connector

Figure 82: Trimming the Braid

Figure 83: Sliding the Ferrule Over the Braid

8. Gently flare the braid with your fingers (see Figure 80).

9. Insert the end of the cable into the connector body until the dielectric is firmly seated inside the connector (see Figure 81). Be sure all braid wires remain on the outside of the connector.

10. Trim any excess braid (see Figure 82), if necessary. The braid should assemble flush to within 1/16" (1.6 mm) of the connector shoulder.

11. Slide the ferrule over the braid until it is flush against the connector shoulder (see Figure 83).

Figure 84: Crimping the Ferrule onto the Cable

Figure 85: Applying the Heat Shrink Tubing

Figure 86: Proper Center Conductor Pin Length

12. Using an appropriate crimp tool (either the CT-400/300 or the HX-4 with Y1719 dies), crimp the ferrule in place (see Figure 84). Crimp as close to the connector body as possible.

13. Crimp the ferrule again, but further back from the connector. However, be careful not to crimp the cable jacket.

14. Slide the heat shrink sleeve over the connector body and heat it to compress it into place (see Figure 85). When you are done, the heat shrink should extend from the rear of the connector to the cable jacket. This forms a weather-tight seal.

15. Using a multimeter or similar device, check the continuity of the cable.

16. Ensure the center conductor pin measures between 0.20" and 0.28" (5-7 mm) in length, to ensure proper engagement with the mating connector (see Figure 86).
