1 1 IINTRODUCTIONNTRODUCTION
This manual describes the Capsat® Telephone.
The Capsat® Telephone is a mobile Inmarsat-phone mini-M terminal which provides access
to international telephone, facsimile and data networks.
SSATELLITE ATELLITE TTELEPHONE ELEPHONE CCOMMUNICATIONOMMUNICATION
Operating the Capsat® Telephone is much the same as making direct international telephone
calls from an ordinary telephone.
The difference is that the Capsat® Telephone communicates directly with a satellite and
therefore does not rely on a local telephone operator to route the call to the desired
destination. Instead, the calls to/from the satellite are routed by designated Land Earth
Stations (LESs) which also communicates with the same satellite as the telephone terminal.
The necessary requirements to operate a satellite telephone is that
a) the terminal is registered by a service provider (i.e. payment arrangements).
b) the location where the telephone is located is covered by a satellite, and
c) there is a free line of sight from the antenna of the terminals to the satellite.
The satellite system used by the Capsat® Telephone is operated by the international
organisation, Inmarsat. The system consists of four satellites which combined guarantee
world-wide coverage (see appendix B for coverage maps).
When working with the Inmarsat-phone mini-M system, the following abbreviations are often
used:
MES Mobile Earth Station.
This is the name that Inmarsat uses for terminals.
E.g. the Capsat® Telephone is a MES. Mobile refers to the fact that the terminals are relocatable.
Earth Station is a satellite communication term.
LES Land Earth Station.
The LES is located at the "other" end of the MES's satellite link. The LES connects to the
local telephone networks and manages calls to and from the MES.
NCS Network Co-ordination Station.
The NCS is responsible for assigning communication channels to the MESs. In case of
NCS failure the MESs will switch to "Stand-Alone" mode. In Stand-Alone mode
designated LESs in each ocean region will act as NCS.

Figure Figure 2 2 --22 The above label is attached to the TT-3007C Antenna The above label is attached to the TT-3007C Antenna
Warning !
The TT-3007C Antenna radiates microwave signals. Keep 0.5 meter
of safety distance from the antenna
Installation Guide
Page 6 15Oct99
Select the antenna position on the basis of the guidelines listed below.
• Allow for a passage distance of 0.5 meter from the antenna
• Ensure a non-obscured line of sight with the satellite
• Do not mount the antenna higher than one half the vessel length
• Use non-ferrous materials for mounting
• Keep a safe distance of 1 meter from the compass of the vessel
• Mount the antenna above the center of gravity of the vessel
• On steel vessels the antenna should be mounted on the for-aft line of the vessel
• Mount the antenna at least 1 meter away from any metallic boat structure
The antenna radiates RF signals during a call (the radiated signal is strongest on the focal line
of the antenna and drops off quickly), therefore a safe distance must be observed. Allow a
passage distance of 0.5 meter from the antenna.
If possible, mount the antenna above the center of gravity of the vessel, this reduces the
effects of pitch and yaw on the motion sensors in the antenna. The mounting height of the
antenna above the waterline should be the lowest height that ensures a non-obscured line of
sight to the satellite. If the antenna is mounted in a position too high there is a risk this will
give too high acceleration forces on the antenna during high sea. As a rule of thumb the
antenna should not be mounted higher than one half the length of the vessel above the
waterline.
As part of the tracking system the antenna incorporates a 3D compass (magnetometer). This
compass is prone to disturbances by moveable ferrous masses and the quality of reading is
also affected by nearby ferrous material. It is therefore recommended to use non-ferrous
materials in mounting materials, screws and brackets (stainless steel and aluminium is
recommended) and to keep a distance of 1 meter from ferrous parts. Since the antenna itself
contains ferrous materials and magnets, it is also recommended to keep a magnetic safe
distance of 1 meter to the compass of the vessel.
Ideally, the antenna must have a non-obscured line of sight with the satellite during all roll,
pitch and yaw conditions to accommodate tracking. Due to masts and pipes a non-obscured
line of sight is obviously not possible to obtain for all vessels but applying the following rule
of thumb should ensure stable operation: With a mast that can potentially obscure the view to
the satellite, mount the antenna at least 6 times the diameter of the (obscuring-) mast away
from the mast, e.g. mount the antenna at least 1.5 meter away from a 0.25 meter diameter
mast.
Observe the front back marking on the antenna base to get the roll and pitch reading
correct. If it is more practical to disregard the front/back markings on the antenna base, the
only consequence is that the roll and pitch readings in the handset are not correct, since they
are referred to the markings on the antenna base casting. Referring to the base casting on
the next drawing the front/back line is a vertical line passing through the center of the
antenna.

The antenna cable running from the antenna to the below deck unit must be protected from
mechanical stresses. Use ultra-violet resistant ties when securing the cable and use
grommets when the cable passes through holes.

DC Power Input
Always disconnect vessel DC power during installation and double check polarity of the
positive and negative poles on the screw mount connector before the power cord is inserted.
The power cord must have a low impedance and must be connected to the vessel DC power
fuses group with a short path. It is recommended as a minimum to use the following AWG
cable dimensions: less than 5 meters use AWG-12, up to 12 meters use AWG-8. Using a
cable with too high an impedance might result in failure to start-up when the On/Off button is
pressed (the symptom would properly be a cyclic power on and power off sequence

displayed in the handset display). The DC input fuse must be rated at 10 amperes middle
slow for a 12V system and 5 amperes for a 24V system.
The power supply in the below deck unit provides galvanic isolation from the ships DC
power system. The secondary side of the power supply must be firmly grounded to the
vessel body through a short low impedance wire from the grounding screw terminal on the
below deck unit.
Remote Turn-On
The system can be configured for remote turn-on by connecting the ignition detection input
on the 6 pole PTR screw connector to a special generator output or another desired power
control circuit. With the ignition detection connected the system will turn on whenever a
voltage higher than 10V is present on the input (primary referenced).
External Speaker
Using the external speaker socket will automatically disconnect the handset cradle speaker.
If an external speaker is used it must have an impedance of 8 Ohm. The external speaker
output is balanced, hence the outer conductor is not grounded.
Extra Ringer
An output for an external ringer is available on the 6 pole PTR screw connector. The ringer
output is an RS-410 open-collector output with the return wire connected to secondary
ground. When using an external ringer make sure that the ringer provides galvanic isolation
from vessel ground.
Radio Mute
An output for radio mute is available on the 6 pole PTR screw connector. The mute output is
an RS-410 open-collector output with the return wire connected to secondary ground. When
using the radio mute function be sure that the radio provides galvanic isolation from vessel
ground.
HH ANDSETANDSET/C/CRADLE RADLE IINSTALLATIONNSTALLATION
The handset and cradle must be installed in a protected dry area. The cradle connects to the
main unit through a single cable and provides all main operation interfaces to the system.
The handset is held in the cradle with a magnet, the cradle can then be mounted in any
practical orientation.
Installation Guide
15Oct99 Page 11
Figure Figure 2 2 --77 Cradle and Handset Outline Cradle and Handset Outline
The cradle unit is equipped with a 2 meter cable for the main unit connection.
The cradle is mounted using 4 self-tapping screws, and the screw holes are then covered
with adjacent patches.
The cable to the main unit can either run straight down in a flush mount from the cradle unit
or be bend backwards for a hidden-cable installation. If the hidden cable installation is
performed or the cradle cable must be led through tight areas or holes, then the cradle unit
can be opened and the cable disconnected from the cradle during installation.

CCOMPASS OMPASS CCALIBRATIONALIBRATION
The magnetometer of the Capsat Maritime Telephone must be calibrated after installation on
the vessel. Calibration of the magnetometer is performed automatically while slowly turning
the boat into a yaw of approximately 400 degrees. This must be performed in calm water to
keep boat roll and pitch angles as close as possible to zero. When the calibration is
completed the quality of the calibration can be read out in the handset. Calibration quality is
determined by how close role and pitch angles are kept to zero, and how constant the
turning rate is kept during the calibration procedure.
Calibration procedure
1. Determine vertical component of magnetic field strength (the nearest port from list of
ports or from freeware software).
2. Select magnetometer calibration mode on hand set - Menu -> Config -> Antenna ->
Compass Cal -> Start Cal
3. Start to turn the boat at a constant rate of approximately 5 degrees per second.
4. When the boat is turning at a constant rate, enter magnitude and sign of vertical
component of magnetic field strength on handset and the calibration measurements are
started.
5. Note the yaw angle of the boat.
6. Let the boat turn through 400 degrees and then terminate calibration by pressing Menu -
> Config -> Antenna -> Compass Cal -> Stop Cal . This concludes the calibration
procedure.
Interpretation of Calibration Quality Figure
Calibration quality figures can be requested by pressing Menu -> Status -> Antenna ->
Platform -> Roll.. until ‘Cal. Score’ on the handset.
The ‘Cal Score’ is a 3 digit number: the first digit is the calibration quality, the second digit is
the hard iron factor and the third digit is a count value for successful calibrations, all three
digits may vary between 0 and 9.
Left digit - quality of calibration
A calibration quality value of 9 is good and 8 is acceptable. If the calibration quality is less
than 7, the calibration procedure is rejected and must be repeated.
Installation Guide
15Oct99 Page 13
Middle digit - hard iron factor
The hard iron factor shows the amount of hard iron magnetism relative to the local earth
magnetic field. A hard iron factor of 9 means that the hard iron magnetism is less than 10% of
the earth magnetic field, 5 means that the hard iron magnetism is less than 50% of the earth
magnetic field, 1 means that the hard iron magnetism is less than 90% of the earth magnetic
field, 0 means that the hard iron magnetism is higher than 90% of the earth magnetic field. If
the hard iron factor is less than 4 it is advisable to mount the antenna at a less magnetic
position on the vessel.
Right digit - number of calibrations performed
A value of 0 indicates that no calibrations have been performed and that the calibration
constants as set in the factory are used. After each compass calibration, this digit is
incremented. After a count of 9, the counter will restart at 1.
