 Satlink FB150 System User Guide

Grounding and Antenna Cables

The terminal has provided its mechanical stud, which is intended for the grounding wire to be
connected to the hull of ship.

The antenna cable between the terminal and antenna can be extended with specified
distance as long as it can meet any type of antenna’s characteristic data, which does not
exceed its required attenuation.

The antenna cable is shielded and it should not be affected by any magnetic field. It is
recommended to avoid the cable being installed in parallel with any AC wiring as it may
possibly cause malfunction of the equipment.

Ship’s Power Supply

The input voltage for Satlink FB150 FleetBroadband System is 12V DC, 8A or 24V DC, 4A. It is
recommended to use 24V DC power line, provided that it is available on the ship.

In case of unavailability of 24V DC power line provided by the ship, an external AC/DC power
supply (115/230V AC to 24V DC ) can be used. Please note that the requirements of the
AC/DC power supply should take care of high surge current of 25A at 24V DC for 1ms.

Equipment Ventilation
To ensure adequate cooling of the terminal, 5-centimeter of unobstructed space must be
maintained around all sides of the unit except the bottom side. The ambient temperature
range of the terminal is: -25°C to +55°C.

The equipment shall not be operated in the presence of flammable gases or fumes as well as
any explosive atmosphere. Operation of any electrical equipment in such an environment
constitutes a definite safety hazard.

Keep Away from Live Circuits

Operating personnel shall not remove equipment covers. Component replacement and
internal adjustment has to he handled by qualified maintenance personnel. Do not attempt to
replace components with the power cable connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous
voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect
power and discharge circuits before touching them.

Obtaining Licensing For Inmarsat Terminals

Under rights given under ITU Radio Regulations, local telecommunications administrations
establish and enforce national rules and regulations governing types of emissions, power
levels, and other parameters that affect the purity of signal, which may be radiated in the
various frequency bands of the radio spectrum.

To legally operate Inmarsat equipment, it is necessary to obtain permission from the local
telecommunications regulatory authorities of the country you are operating from. Using your
equipment in any country without permission causes you to run the risk of confiscation of the
equipment by the local authorities. The normal procedure to bring such equipment into
another country is to apply for a license before travel. If a license has not been obtained
before travel, the equipment may be put in to storage by local authorities until such time
license is obtained.

 Satlink FB150 System User’s Guide

IP 44 Protection

The Satlink FB150 BDU meets or exceeds IP 44 requirements for environmental protection, i.e. dust and
water, provided the UE is used with the included RJ11 phone cord, RJ45 LAN cable and the Primary
Handset. To maintain proper environmental protection, care should be taken to ensure that the cables
are connected so that the connector “lip” fits over the raised edge surrounding the corresponding port.

Connecting TO A Computer

To connect a computer to the Satlink FB150 BDU you need a LAN (Category 5) Cable.

1. Plug one end of the LAN cable to a PoE RJ-45 port meant for DATA and the other
end to your computer network port.

2. Use the Web Console as listed in the Data Menu section of Chapter 4 - Using the
Web Console, to configure the Satlink FB150 BDU and activate a data connection.

Using A Standard Phone

You can connect a standard analog corded or cordless phone to the PHONE port using the
included IP44 rated RJ11 phone cable to make and receive voice calls.

When there is an incoming standard voice call, all the phones connected to those ports will
ring. Once one of them answers the call, all other phones will stop ringing.

Chapter 6 – Installation of ADU

Installation of ADU with Antenna Cable
The position of the ADU has to be kept away from the beam width of any search or tracking radar,
which transits radiating power, as well as from the radiations of HF/ VHF antennas. In addition, a
safety compass distance is also to be taken into account

ADU Mounting Base

N-Type Receptacle

Important notes to be followed before installing ADU

The following notes shall be observed:

1. The position of the ADU has to be kept away from the beam width of any search or tracking
radar, which transits radiating power.

With reference to the illustration, there are recommended mounting positions of the ADU
where they are kept away from the red region area of the beam width. This way, the ADU will
not be interfered by any transmitting radar. The angle of radar beam width normally ranges
from 10º to 25º degrees with respect to the centre of the radar arm. However, it is worthwhile
to check its manufacture’s technical specification.

Position 1

Position 2

Position 3

2. The position of the ADU especially its line of sight to a satellite shall not be obstructed by any
large obstacle in a vessel or ship. This will result in the degradation of the satellite signal.

Examples of the large obstacles are as follow:

• Upper deck and funnel of ship

• VSAT with its radome

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 Satlink FB150 System User Guide

• large mechanical structure mounting of any radar

3. For the safety reason, all personnel have to keep away at least 1-meter from the ADU.

Connecting Antenna Cable

There is a coaxial connector at the base centre of the ADU where it is a N-type receptacle connector.
The antenna cable terminated with N-type plug connector is to be inserted into the ADU first before
proceeding to the installation of the ADU.

It is highly recommended to protect the coaxial connector by applying water-proof insulation tape to
protect it due to humidity conditions.

Mounting of ADU
The mounting of the ADU depends on the structure of the vessel or ship. It can be mounted on either
on long post or antenna mast (if available on the ship) as long as it is free of any shock or vibration.

Mounting of ADU on Antenna Mast

The requirements of the antenna mast are as follow:
• The physical size of the mast shall support the weight of ADU at 2.5kg and the physical
dimension of Ø278mm with height of 228mm. An example of the antenna mast is
illustrated as below.

Mounting of BDU

The BDU can be installed by being placed on the desktop or being mounted on the wall
surface or top ceiling.

BDU in Desktop Installation

The BDU can be placed on the table or desktop. It has its four rubber foots which are
attached to the base of the BDU, which it can rest on any desktop or even table. The rubber
foots can prevent the BDU from being shaked or moveable.

BDU on Wall / Top Ceiling Installation

The BDU can be mounted on the wall surface by means of using 4 pieces of C-clips with the
mounting kits. The mounting kits includes M6 hexagon screws, spring washers and nut to
attach the C-clips into the mounting legs securely.

Connecting power cable to BDU

Regarding the ship’s power source of 10.8V to 31.2VDC for the terminal, there are different
ways:

• [1] Ship’s 24VDC power supply directly

• [2] Ship’s 12V batteries connected in series as 24VDC direct power supply directly
• [3] Ship’s direct 12V battery with high ampere-hour
• [4] Ship’s universal AC input range of 85-264VAC provides direct 24VDC output via
AC/DC power supply*
* Note: During the BDU’s power up, there is an initial high surge current. For this reason, the AC/DC power supply with
the single output of +24VDC with 10A or higher current capability is strongly recommended.

It is important that the first step is to connect the power cable to the ship’s power with the
color code of wiring. On the front panel of BDU, there is an indication of (+) and (-) above the
2-pin green, phoenix power socket.

The 1.8-meter DC power plug cable includes red and black wires.

• Red Wire shall connect to green power socket (+)

• Black Wire shall connect to green power socket (-)

+ -

The power plug cable is inserted to the front panel’s power socket. A white power switch*,
which is situated next to the power socket, is catered for an user to turn on.

Switch

* Note: The white power switch combines its internal 12A circuit breaker and ON/OFF switch with rocker actuation.
Thus, the power switch protects the terminal against any overcurrent or short-circuits.

Connecting Antenna Cable to BDU

The ADU has included 10-meter antenna cable.

The antenna has 2 different type of connectors which are both terminated at each end; TNC
(Male) and N-type (Male) respectively.

The N-type terminated at the end of antenna cable is catered for its connection to the ADU.

TNC (Male) N-Type (Male)
