1. Safety
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service and repair of this
equipment. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety
standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the equipment. Sea Tel Inc (dba Cobham SATCOM) assumes no
liability for the customer's failure to comply with these requirements.
Service
User access to the interior of the antenna control unit (ACU) is prohibited. Only a technician authorized by
Cobham SATCOM may perform service - failure to comply with this rule will void the warranty. Access to the
interior of the Above Deck Equipment (ADE) is allowed. Inspection of certain components as described in the
Scheduled Inspections Manual may be accomplished by an engineer onboard. Maintenance of the ACU, or the
ADE, may only be performed by a technician authorized by Cobham SATCOM.
Do not service or adjust alone
Do not attempt internal service or adjustments unless another person, capable of rendering first aid resuscitation,
is present.
Grounding, cables and connections
To minimize shock hazard and to protect against lightning, the equipment chassis and cabinet must be
connected to an electrical ground. The Above & Below Decks Equipments must be grounded to the ship. For
further grounding information refer to the Installation chapter of this manual.
Do not extend the cables beyond the lengths specified for the equipment. The cable between the ACU and
Above Deck Unit can be extended if it complies with the specified data concerning cable losses etc.
All coaxial cables are to be shielded and should not be affected by magnetic fields. However, try to avoid running
cables parallel to high power and AC/RF wiring as it might cause malfunction of the equipment.
Power supply
AC Power to the ADE is provided by a separate, breakered, power cable.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere
Do not operate the equipment in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any electrical
equipment in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
Keep away from live circuits
Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers. Component replacement and internal adjustment must
be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Do not 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.
SAFETY: INTERNAL BATTERY
The main PCB inside the LMXP, and inside the TICU, each contain a lithium battery. These batteries should last
for many years but if replacement is required, use caution. These batteries are only to be replaced by a
technician authorized by Cobham SATCOM to perform such service.

Series 12 Ku-Band System Configuration(s) Sea Tel 6012-45

2. Series 12 Ku-Band System Configuration(s)

The Series 12 Ku-Band Stabilized Antenna system is to be used for Transmit/Receive (TX/RX) satellite
communications. It is comprised of two major groups of equipment: the Above Decks Equipment (ADE) and the Below
Decks Equipment (BDE). There will also be interconnecting cables between the ADE & BDE and cables to provide
other inputs to the system.
It is initially equipped for Ku-Band operation; however, an optional Ka-Band upgrade kit is available for when the Ka-
Band services are available.

2.1. Series 12 Basic System Information

Series 09 antennas are available in three dish sizes (Diameter – active area):
• 1.0 M (40 inch)
• 1.2 M (50.0 inch)
• 1.5 M (60 inch)
Each dish size is available in multiple configurations:
• Variety of BUC manufacturers and power output capabilities
• Variety of BUC/HPA power output capabilities
• Cross-Pol feed assembly
• Optional Co-Pol diplexer and LNB
• Choice of single fixed frequency, dual-band, tri-band or Quad-Band LNB(s)
The Series 12 antennas are available in multiple tuned radome sizes:
• 131.3 cm (50 inches) Diameter
• 155 cm (60 inch) Diameter
• 1.76 M (66 inch) Diameter
• 201.59cm (76 inch) Diameter
• 205.23cm (81 inch) Diameter [Air Conditioning available for this radome ONLY]

2.2. System Cables

AC power and coaxial cables are discussed in other chapters and their specifications are in the specifications
chapter.

2.3. Other Inputs to the System

Multi-conductor cables from Ship’s Gyro Compass, GPS, phone, fax and computer equipment may be
connected in the system.

2.4. Simplified Block Diagram of a Series 09MK3 or 12 Ku-Band System

Your Series 12 Ku-Band TXRX system consists of two major groups of equipment: an above-decks group and a
below-decks group. Each group is comprised of, but is not limited to, the items listed below. All equipment
comprising the Above Decks is incorporated inside the radome assembly and is integrated into a single
operational entity. For inputs, this system requires only an unobstructed line-of-sight view to the satellite,
Gyro Compass input and AC electrical power.
A. Above-Decks Equipment (all shown as the ADE) Group
• Stabilized antenna pedestal
• Antenna Reflector
• Feed Assembly with Cross-Pol and Co-Pol LNBs
• 8W Ku-Band Solid State Block Up-Converter (BUC)
• Radome Assembly
2-1
EAR Controlled - ECCN EAR99
Sea Tel 6012-45 Series 12 Ku-Band System Configuration(s)

B. Below-Decks Equipment Group

• Media Xchange Point™ (MXP)
• Customer Furnished Equipment - Satellite Modem and other below decks equipment required for the
desired communications purposes (including LAN and VOIP equipment).
• Appropriate Coax, Ethernet, and telephone cables

2.5. Dual Antenna Configuration

Sometimes, due to very large blockage conditions, you may need to install a dual antenna configuration to
provide uninterrupted services. Two full antenna systems are installed and the MXP control outputs are
connected to an arbitrator switch panel which then is connected to the below decks equipment. NOTE: The
RXIF from EACH antenna MUST be connected to the RF IN on the rear panel of its respective MXP then
RFOUT is connected to the RXIF input of the Dual Antenna Arbitrator. This connection scheme is required for
MXP “A” to be able to control Antenna “A” (and ONLY Antenna “A”) AND MXP “B” to be able to control
Antenna “B” (and ONLY Antenna “B”).
You will program the blockage zone(s) for each of the two antennas (refer to Setup – Blockage Zones). The
blockage output from the each of the MXPs is connected to the arbitrator panel to control it. The blockage
output terminal of each MXP provides a “blocked” output to the arbitrator its respective antenna is within a
blockage zone programmed into that MXP. When not blocked the SW2 terminal output(s) will signal an
“unblocked” state..
When one antenna is blocked, its blockage output will command the arbitrator panel to switch services to the
modem from that antenna to the other antenna. The arbitrator panel provides a logic latch to prevent excess

2-2
EAR Controlled - ECCN EAR99
Series 12 Ku-Band System Configuration(s) Sea Tel 6012-45

switching when the ship heading is yawing, therefore, causing if the antenna to be repeatedly blocked –
unblocked – blocked.

2.6. Dual Network Arbitrator

Demand for greater bandwidth throughputs has led to service offerings that include access to multiple
networks from the vessel. To facilitate this a dual network (two modems) configuration is required.
This can be a single antenna – dual network configuration which allows the ship to access either of two
networks. One antenna system is installed and its’ ACU control output is connected to a dual network
arbitrator switch panel which is also connected to two satellite modems, and other below decks equipment if
provided.
A dual antenna – dual network configuration allows the ship to access to two networks simultaneously. Two
full antenna systems are installed and the two ACU control outputs are connected to a dual network arbitrator
switch panel which is also connected to two satellite modems, and other below decks equipment if provided.
Refer to the appropriate installation chapter for the model of the Sea Tel antenna systems that you will be
installing.
You will program the blockage zone(s) and optimize all other settings for best “on-satellite” performance for
each of the two Sea Tel antennas.
The following signals pass through the arbitrator to/from the ACUs and the Satellite Modem(s):
• TX IF signal to the selected antenna from the selected Satellite Modem. 10 MHz reference is also
passed when provided by the modem.
• RX IF from the selected antenna to the selected Satellite Modem.
• Blockage control output from each ACU provides status of the antenna (available or blocked) to the
arbitrator.
• GPS position - output from each antenna to the arbitrator. A setting in the in the arbitrator
determines which GPS signal gets routed to the satellite modem(s).
• Receive Lock signal from the selected Satellite Modem(s) is routed to both ACUs to enable each of
the antennas to track the appropriate satellite/beam.
In single network mode, when one antenna is blocked, its blockage output will command the arbitrator panel
to switch services from that antenna to the other antenna. The arbitrator panel provides a logic latch to
prevent excess switching when the ship heading is yawing, therefore, causing either antenna to be repeatedly
blocked – unblocked – blocked.
In dual network mode, if one antenna becomes blocked there is no available antenna to switch to, so that
network will be out of service until the antenna is no longer blocked.

2.7. Automatic Beam Switching (ABS)

ABS is a method of communicating remotely via an overhead channel, or locally from the modem, to
reconfigure the ACU(s) to use a different beam on the same satellite or to use a different satellite. The
modems include commands which allow remotely setting all of the necessary parameters and to command
the targeting of the desired satellite

2.8. OpenAMIP™, ROAM or VACP

These each have standardized language incorporated into their (iDirect, Comtech & STM) modems which
communicates automatic beam switching settings from their options file to the Sea Tel ACU(s). This provides
the network a means of controlling automatic beam switching by the settings in the options file in the remote
modem.

EAR Controlled - ECCN EAR99
Sea Tel 6012-45 Series 12 Ku-Band System Configuration(s)

2.9. FCC Compliance

This antenna system, with current software, contain FCC compliant supervisory software to continuously
monitor the pedestal pointing error. This supervisory software will trip an error flag, which will automatically
cease transmission within 100 milliseconds, if the pointing error should exceed 0.5 degrees. Transmission will
not resume until the pointing error drops below 0.2 degrees.
To be compliant with these FCC requirements, the “Transmit Mute” output of the Sea Tel below decks
controller must be connected to the “Mute Input” of the satellite modem via serial or via an Ethernet
connection to the modem.

2.10. Cyber Security Caution

Sea Tel Antenna systems are not intended to be connected directly to the Internet. They must be connected
behind a dedicated network security device such as a firewall. In addition, we highly recommended that you
change default passwords. This is an extremely important consideration that must be taken into account as
part of commissioning procedures as attackers with malicious intent (after easily obtaining default passwords
and identify internet-connected systems) can be rendered a system inoperable.
For clarification purposes, the factory default Passwords/Configurations are only intended for initial
production testing/verification purposes and it is an assumed responsibility of the installing partner to change
and record the login credentials and is shared only with persons whom are directly responsible for
operation/maintenance of the system. Instructions on how to change passwords may be located within the

3. Site Survey
There are three objective of the site survey. The first is to find the best place to mount the antenna and the BDE. The
second is to identify the length and routing of the cables and any other items or materials that are required to install
the system. The third is to identify any other issues that must be resolved before or during the installation.

3.1. Site Selection Aboard The Ship

The radome assembly should be installed at a location aboard ship where:
• The antenna has a clear line-of-sight to view as much of the sky (horizon to zenith at all bearings) as
is practical.
• X-Band (3cm) Navigational Radars:
• The ADE should be mounted more than 0.6 meters/2 feet from 2kW (24 km) radars
• The ADE should be mounted more than 2 meters/8 feet from 10kW (72 km) radars
• The ADE should be mounted more than 4 meters/12 feet from 160kW (250km) radars
• S-Band (10cm) Navigational Radars:
• If the ADE is/has C-Band it should be mounted more than 4 meters/12 feet from the S-band
Radar.
• The ADE should not be mounted on the same plane as the ship's radar, so that it is not directly in the
radar beam path.
• The ADE should be mounted more than 2.5 meters/8 feet from any high power MF/HF antennas
(<400W).
• The ADE should be mounted more than 4 meters/12 feet from any high power MF/HF antennas
(1000W).
• The ADE should also be mounted more than 4 meters/12 feet from any short range (VHF/UHF)
antennae.
• The ADE should be mounted more than 2.5 meters/8 feet away from any L-band satellite antenna.
• The ADE should be mounted more than 3 meters/10 feet away from any magnetic compass
installations.
• The ADE should be mounted more than 2.5 meters/8 feet away from any GPS receiver antennae.
• Another consideration for any satellite antenna mounting is multi-path signals (reflection of the
satellite signal off of nearby surfaces arriving out of phase with the direct signal from the satellite) to
the antenna. This is particularly a problem for the onboard GPS, and/or the GPS based satellite
compass.
• The ADE and the BDE should be positioned as close to one another as possible. This is necessary to
reduce the losses associated with long cable runs.
• This mounting platform must also be robust enough to withstand the forces exerted by full rated
wind load on the radome.
• The mounting location is robust enough that it will not flex or sway in ships motion and be
sufficiently well re-enforced to prevent flex and vibration forces from being exerted on the antenna
and radome.
• If the radome is to be mounted on a raised pedestal, it MUST have adequate size, wall thickness and
gussets to prevent flexing or swaying in ships motion. In simple terms it must be robust.
If these conditions cannot be entirely satisfied, the site selection will inevitably be a “best” compromise
between the various considerations.

3.2. Antenna Shadowing (Blockage) and RF Interference

At the transmission frequencies of this satellite antenna system, any substantial structures in the way of the
beam path will cause significant degradation of the signal. Care should be taken to locate the ADE so that it
has direct line-of-sight with the satellite without any structures in the beam path through the full 360 degree
ships turn. Wire rope stays, lifelines, small diameter handrails and other accessories may pass through the
beam path in limited numbers; however, even these relatively insignificant shadows can produce measurable
signal loss at these frequencies.

3.3. Mounting Foundation

3.3.1. Mounting on Deck or Deckhouse

While mounting the ADE on a mast is a common solution to elevate the ADE far enough above the
various obstructions which create signal blockages, sometimes the best mounting position is on a
deck or deckhouse top. These installations are inherently stiffer than a mast installation, if for no
other reason than the design of the deck/deckhouse structure is prescribed by the ship’s classification
society. In the deck/deckhouse design rules, the minimum plating and stiffener guidelines are
chosen to preclude high local vibration amplitudes.
Most installations onto a deck or deckhouse structure will require a mounting pedestal to raise the
ADE above the deck for radome hatch access and to allow the full range of elevation (see ADE
mounting considerations above). Some care must be taken to ensure the mounting pedestal is
properly aligned with the stiffeners under the deck plating.

3.3.2. ADE Mounting Considerations

Mounting the radome directly on the deck or platform prevents access to the hatch in the base of the
radome unless an opening is designed into the mounting surface.
If there is no access to the hatch, the only way to service the
antenna is to remove the radome top. Two people are required
to take the top off of the radome without cracking or losing
control of it, but even with two people a gust of wind may cause
them to lose control and the radome top may be catastrophically
damaged (see repair information in the radome specifications).
If access to the hatch cannot be provided in the mounting
surface, provide a short ADE support pedestal to mount the ADE
on which is tall enough to allow access into the radome via the
hatch.
Ladder rungs must be provided on all mounting stanchions
greater than 3-4 feet tall to allow footing for personnel safety
when entering the hatch of the radome.
The recommended cable passage in the 50, 60 and 66 inch
radomes is through the bottom center of the radome base, down through the ADE support pedestal,
through the deck and into the interior of the ship.

3.3.3. Sizing of the support pedestal

The following should be taken into account when choosing the height of a mounting support stand:
1. The height of the pedestal should be kept as short as possible, taking into account
recommendations given in other Sea Tel Guidelines.
2. The minimum height of the pedestal above a flat deck or platform to allow access into the
radome for maintenance should be 0.6 meters (24 inches).
3. The connection of the ADE mounting plate to the stanchion and the connection of the
pedestal to the ship should be properly braced with triangular gussets (see graphic above).
Care should be taken to align the pedestal gussets to the ship’s stiffeners as much as
possible. Doublers or other reinforcing plates should be considered to distribute the forces
when under-deck stiffeners are inadequate.

3-2
EAR Controlled - ECCN EAR99
Site Survey Sea Tel 6012-45

4. The diameter of the pedestal stanchion shall not be smaller than 100 millimeters (4 inches).
Where the ADE base diameter exceeds 1.5 meters (60 inches), additional stanchions
(quantity greater than 3) should be placed rather than a single large stanchion.
5. Shear and bending should be taken into account in sizing the ADE mounting plate and
associated gussets.
6. Shear and bending must be taken into account when sizing the pedestal to ship connection.
7. All welding should be full penetration welds –V-groove welds with additional fillet welds –
with throats equivalent to the thickness of the thinnest base material.
8. For an ADE mounted greater than 0.6 meters (24 inches) above the ship’s structure, at least
one (1) foot rung should be added. Additional rungs should be added for every 0.3 meter (12
inches) of pedestal height above the ship’s structure.
9. For an ADE mounted greater than 3 meters (9 feet) above the ship’s structure, a fully
enclosing cage should be included in way of the access ladder, starting 2.3 meters (7 feet)
above the ship’s structure.

3.4. Mounting Height

The higher up you mount the antenna above the pivot point of the ship the higher the tangential acceleration
(g-force) exerted on the antenna will be (see chart below).
When the g-force exerted on the antenna is low, antenna stabilization and overall performance are not
affected.
If the g-force exerted on the antenna is high enough (> 1 G), antenna stabilization and overall performance are
affected.
If the g-force exerted on the antenna is excessive (1-2 Gs), the antenna does not maintain stabilization and
may be physically damaged by the g-force.

3.5. Mast Configurations

Sea Tel recommends mounting the ADE in a location that has both a clear line-of-sight to the target satellites
in all potential azimuth/elevation ranges and sufficient support against vibration excitement. If possible,
mounting the ADE pedestal directly to ship deckhouse structures or other box stiffened structures is
preferred. However, in many cases, this imposes limits on the antenna system’s clear line-of-sight.
Often the solution for providing the full azimuth/elevation range the antenna needs is to mount the ADE on
the ship’s mast. Unfortunately, masts do not consider equipment masses in design and often have harmonic
frequencies of their own.

3-3
EAR Controlled - ECCN EAR99
Sea Tel 6012-45 Site Survey

There are many designs of masts used on ships – masts are nearly as unique in design as the ship is – but the
designs often fall into a few categories. These categories can be addressed in terms of typical responses and
problems with regards to vibration and mounting of ADE. The most common categories of masts are:

3.5.1. Vertical Masts

Vertical masts are a very ancient and common mast design. In essence, it is the mast derived from
the sailing mast and adapted for mounting the ever-increasing array of antennae which ships need to
communicate with the world. This drawing of a
vertical mast shows the preferred mounting of the
ADE center-line above the plane of the radar.
Alternatively the ADE is mounted below the plane
of the radar signal
Vertical masts are most commonly found on cargo
ships – they are simple, inelegant and functional.
They are also fairly stiff against torsional reaction
and lateral vibrations, as long as the ADE is
mounted on a stiff pedestal near the vertical
centerline of the mast. If centerline mounting is impractical or otherwise prohibited, the mast
platform the ADE is mounted on should be checked for torsional vibration about the centerline of the
mast and the orthogonal centerline of the platform.
If the estimated natural frequency of the mast or platform is less than 35 Hertz, the mast or platform
should be stiffened by the addition of deeper gussets under the platform or behind the mast.

3.5.2. Raked Masts

Raked masts are found on vessels where the style or appearance of the entire vessel is important.
Again, the inclined mast is a direct descendant
from the masts of sailing ships – as ship owners
wanted their vessels to look more unique and less
utilitarian, they ‘raked’ the masts aft to make the
vessel appear capable of speed. This drawing
shows a raked mast, again with the preferred ADE
mounting above the radar and alternate with the
ADE below the radar.
Raked masts pose special problems in both
evaluating the mast for stiffness and mounting of
antennae. As can be seen in the drawing, all
antennae must be mounted on platforms or other
horizontal structures in order to maintain the
vertical orientation of the antenna centerline. This implies a secondary member which has a
different natural frequency than the raked mast’s natural frequency. In order to reduce the mass of
these platforms, they tend to be less stiff than the main box structure of the raked mast. Thus, they
will have lower natural frequencies than the raked mast itself. Unfortunately, the vibratory forces
will act through the stiff structure of the raked mast and excite these lighter platforms, to the
detriment of the antenna.

3.5.3. Girder Masts

Girder masts are large platforms atop a pair of
columns. Just like girder constructions in buildings,
they are relatively stiff athwart ship – in their primary
axis – but less stiff longitudinally and torsionally. An
example of a girder mast is shown in this drawing,
with the preferred ADE mounting outboard and
above the radar directly on one of the columns and
alternate with the ADE centered on the girder above
the plane of the radar.

3-4
EAR Controlled - ECCN EAR99
Site Survey Sea Tel 6012-45

The greatest weakness of girder masts is in torsion – where the girder beam twists about its vertical
centerline axis. As with all mast designs discussed so far, mounting the antenna in line with the
vertical support structure will reduce the vibration tendencies. Mounting the antenna directly above
the girder columns provides ample support to the antenna pedestal and locates the antenna weight
where it will influence the natural frequency of the mast the least.

3.5.4. Truss Mast

Truss masts are a variant on the girder mast concept. Rather than a pair of columns supporting a
girder beam, the construction is a framework of
tubular members supporting a platform on which
the antennae and other equipment are mounted. A
typical truss mast is shown in this photograph.
Like a girder mast, truss masts are especially stiff in
the athwart ship direction. Unlike a girder mast,
the truss can be made to be nearly as stiff in the
longitudinal direction. Truss masts are particularly
difficult to estimate the natural frequency – since a
correct modeling includes both the truss structure
of the supports and the plate/diaphragm structure
of the platform. In general, the following guidelines
apply when determining the adequate support for
mounting an antenna on a truss mast:
1. Antenna ADE pedestal gussets should align with platform stiffeners which are at least 200
millimeters in depth and 10 millimeters in thickness.
2. When possible, the antenna ADE pedestal column should align with a vertical truss support.
3. For every 100 kilograms of ADE weight over 250 kilograms, the depth of the platform
stiffeners should be increased by 50 millimeters and thickness by 2 millimeters.
Sea Tel does not have a recommended arrangement for a truss mast – the variability of truss mast
designs means that each installation needs to be evaluated separately.

3.6. Safe Access to the ADE

Safe access to the ADE should be provided. Provisions of the ship’s Safety Management System with regard
to men aloft should be reviewed and agreed with all personnel prior to the installation. Installations greater
than 3 meters above the deck (or where the access starts at a deck less than 1 meter in width) without cages
around the access ladder shall be provided with means to latch a safety harness to a fixed horizontal bar or
ring.
The access hatch for the ADE shall be oriented aft, or inboard, when practical. In any case, the orientation of
the ADE access hatch shall comply with the SMS guidelines onboard the ship. Nets and other safety rigging
under the ADE during servicing should be rigged to catch falling tools, components or fasteners.

3.7. Below Decks Equipment Location

The Antenna Control Unit, Terminal Mounting Strip and Base Modem Panel are all standard 19” rack mount,
therefore, preferred installation of these items is in such a rack. The ACU mounts from the front of the rack.
The Terminal Mounting Strip and Base Modem Panel mount on the rear of the rack.
The Satellite Modem, router, VIOP adapter(s), telephone equipment, fax machine, computers and any other
associated equipment should be properly mounted for shipboard use.
Plans to allow access to the rear of the ACU should be considered.

3.8. Cables
During the site survey, walk the path where the cables will be installed. Pay particular attention to how cables
will be installed; such as what obstacles they will be routed around, difficulties that will be encountered and
the overall length of the cables. The ADE should be installed using good electrical practice. Sea Tel
recommends referring to IEC 60092-352 for specific guidance in choosing cables and installing cables onboard
a ship. Within these guidelines, Sea Tel will provide some very general information regarding the electrical
installation.
In general, all cable shall be protected from chaffing and secured to a cableway. Cable runs on open deck or
down a mast shall be in metal conduit suitable for marine use. The conduit shall be blown through with dry air
prior to passing cable to ensure all debris has been cleared out of the conduit and again after passing the cable
to ensure no trapped moisture exists. The ends of the conduit shall be sealed with cable glands (preferred),
mastic or low VOC silicon sealant after the cables have been passed through.
Cables passing through bulkheads or decks shall be routed through approved weather tight glands.

3.8.1. ADE/BDE Coaxial Cables

The first concern with the coaxial cables installed between the ADE & BDE is length. This length is
used to determine the loss of the various possible coax, Heliax or fiber-optic cables that might be
used. You should always provide the lowest loss cables to provide the strongest signal level into the
satellite modem.
Be sure that the shield(s) of the coaxes are not in contact with the ships ground.
The coaxes must be of adequate conductor cross-sectional surface area for the length of the cable
run and that the loop resistance of the cable run is less than 2.0 ohms. Copper clad iron center
conductor cables should never be used.
Signal cable shall be continuous from the connection within the ADE radome, through the structure
of the ship to the BDE. Splices, adapters or dummy connections will degrade the signal level and are
discouraged.
Be careful of sharp bends that kink and damage the cable. Use a proper tubing bender for Heliax
bends.
Penetrations in watertight bulkheads are very expensive, single cable, welded penetrations that must
be pressure tested.
Always use good quality connectors that are designed to fit properly on the cables you are using.
Poor quality connectors have higher loss, can allow noise into the cable, are easily damaged or fail
prematurely.
In as much as is possible, don’t lay the coaxes on power cables. Don’t lay the coaxes on, or directly
beside, the cables from a second Sea Tel antenna, Inmarsat antenna and/or GPS antenna that are
also passing L-band frequencies. Don’t lay the coaxes on, or directly beside, radar cables that may
inject pulse repetition noise –as error bits - into your cables.

3.8.2. Antenna Power Cable

Be cautious of length of the run, for voltage loss issues, and assure that the gauge of the wires is
adequate for the current that is expected to be drawn (plus margin). Antenna power is
recommended (but not required) to be from a UPS, generally the same one that supplies power to
the below decks equipment.
Power cables shall comply with the provisions of IEC 60092-350 and -351 as practical. Power cables
may be routed through the same conduit as the signal cable from the junction box to the base of the
ADE. Power cables shall pass through separate radome penetrations from the signal cable.
The power cable shall be continuous from the UPS (or closest circuit breaker) to the ADE connections
within the radome. The power circuits shall be arranged so that ‘active,’ ‘common’ and ‘neutral’
(ground) legs are all made or broken simultaneously. All circuit legs shall be carried in the same cable
jacket.

3-6
EAR Controlled - ECCN EAR99
Site Survey Sea Tel 6012-45

3.8.3. Air Conditioner Power Cable

If your system includes a marine air conditioner (available with the 81 inch radome ONLY), run an AC
power cable to it from a breaker, preferably from a different phase of the electrical system than
supplies power to the ADE & BDE. Be EXTREMELY cautious of length of the run for voltage loss and
gauge of the wires for the current that is expected to be drawn.
Power cable shall comply with the provisions of IEC 60092-350 and -351 in so far as practical. Power
cables may be routed through the same conduit as the signal cable from the junction box to the base
of the ADE. Power cables shall pass through separate radome penetrations from the signal cable.
The power cable shall be continuous from the closest circuit breaker to the ADE connections within
the radome. The power circuits shall be arranged so that ‘active,’ ‘common’ and ‘neutral’ (ground)
legs are all made or broken simultaneously. All circuit legs shall be carried in the same cable jacket.

3.8.4. ACU Power Cable/Outlet

The AC power for the ACU and the ADE is not required to be from a UPS (same one that supplies
power to the ADE), but it is recommended.
Power cable shall comply with the provisions of IEC 60092-350 and -351 in so far as practicable.

3.8.5. Gyro Compass Cable

Use good quality shielded cables (twisted pairs, individually foil wrapped, outer foil with braid overall
is best). You only need 2-wire for NMEA signal, 4-wire for Step-By-Step and 5-wire for Synchro …
always use shielded cable. Be cautious of length and gauge of the run for voltage loss issues.

3.9. Grounding
All metal parts of the ADE shall be grounded to bare metal that is common to the hull of the ship. This is most
commonly accomplished by attaching a ground wire/cable from the upper base plate ground point to a
ground stud on the mounting pedestal/stanchion/mast near the base of the radome. Preservation of the bare
metal contact point should be done to prevent loss of ground due to rust and/or corrosion.
Grounding by exposing bare metal under all mounting bolts of the under-side of the radome base prior to final
tightening does NOT provide adequate grounding of the ADE.
Grounding should be ensured throughout the entire mounting to the hull. While it is presumed the deckhouse
is permanently bonded and grounded to the hull, in cases where the deckhouse and hull are of different
materials a check of an independent ground bonding strap should be made. Masts should be confirmed to be
grounded to the deckhouse or hull.

4.3. Installing the ADE

The antenna pedestal is shipped completely assembled in its radome. Please refer to the entire Site Survey
chapter of this manual.
Base Hatch Access - Mounting the radome directly on the deck or
platform prevents access to the hatch in the base of the radome unless an
opening is designed into the mounting surface to allow such entry. If there
is no access to the hatch the only way to service the antenna is to remove
the radome top. Two people are required to take the top off of the radome
without cracking or losing control of it, but even with two people a gust of
wind may cause them to lose control and the radome top may be
catastrophically damaged (see repair information in the radome
specifications) or lost.
If access to the hatch cannot be provided in the mounting surface, provide
a short ADE mounting stanchion to mount the ADE on which is tall enough
to allow access into the radome via the hatch.
Ladder rungs must be provided on all mounting stanchions greater than 3-4
feet tall to allow footing for personnel safety when entering the hatch of
the radome.
Cable Passage - The radome base is designed with a bottom center cable passage and Roxtec®
Multidiameter® blocks for cable strain relief. The recommended cable passage in the 50, 60, 61 and 66 inch
radomes is through the bottom center of the radome base, down through the ADE mounting stanchion,
through the deck and into the interior of the ship.
Bottom center cable passage is recommended, however, a strain relief kit is provided with the system if off-
center cable entry is required. Note: Strain relief installation procedure, provided in the Drawings chapter,
MUST be followed to assure that the cored holes are properly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and de-
lamination of the radome base.

4.3.1. Prepare the 40”, 50”, 60”, 66” or 76” Radome Assembly

1. Remove the side walls of the radome crate.

2. Lift the pallet using a forklift and/or jacks.
3. From the underside of the pallet, remove
the four shipping bolts which attach the
ADE to its’ pallet. Discard this shipping
hardware.

4. Remove four equally spaced bolts around

the radome flange. Save these nuts and
bolts to be reinstalled later.
5. Install four lifting eyebolts in the vacant
holes in the flange of the radome..
(Hardware provided in the radome
installation kit). Keep the original perimeter
bolt hardware to be reinstalled after the
ADE has been installed.

4-2

Installation Sea Tel 6012-45

6. Attach shackles and four part web lifting

sling arrangement to the eyebolts.
7. Attach a suitable length tagline to one of
the eyebolts.
8. After hoisted into place the lifting eyes are
to be removed and replaced with the
stainless hardware that was removed in step
4 (the eyes are galvanized with bare thread
that will rust if left exposed to the weather).

4.3.2. Install 76” Radome to the mounting platform

The antenna pedestal is shipped completely assembled in its radome.

1. Man the tag line(s).

2. Initially hoist the antenna assembly a few feet off of the shipping pallet, by means of a
suitably sized crane or derrick, to allow access to bottom of radome assembly.
3. Open the hatch by pressing the round release button in the center of the black latches
and gently push the hatch up into the radome. Place the hatch door (gel coat surface
up) inside the radome on the far side of the antenna pedestal.
4. Inspect the pedestal assembly and reflector for signs of shipping damage.
5. Peel the paper off of the mounting pad (provided in the radome installation kit) to
expose the sticky side of the pad, align it to the mounting holes and press it in place
on the underside of the radome base.
6. Using Loctite 271, install the four mounting bolts (provided in radome mounting kit)
into the radome base.
7. Remove the hardware in the cable mounting
frame.

8. Lift the cable mounting frame out from the

cable passage channel.
NOTE: If the bottom center cable passage will NOT
be used, it is recommended that the strain reliefs be
installed in place of this cable mounting frame.
Other locations around the radome base are MUCH
thicker, requiring longer strain reliefs than the ones
provided by Sea Tel. Refer to the strain relief
installation procedure provided in the Drawings
chapter of this manual.

4-3

9. Man the tag line and have the crane continue lifting the ADE up and hover above the
mounting site on the ship.
10. Carefully route AC Power, ground strap/cable (see Grounding info below) and coax
cables through the cable passage in the bottom center of the radome base and
through the cable channel under the lower base plate of antenna.
NOTE: Suitable strain relief should be provided below the mounting surface to prevent
the cables from being kinked where the cables exit the bottom of the radome.

11. Allow enough service loop to terminate these cables to the circuit breaker assembly
and IF connector bracket respectively (see cable termination information below).
HINT: It may be easier to connect, or tie-wrap, the coaxes and power cable temporarily.
12. Lower radome assembly into the mounting holes, positioned with the BOW reference
of the radome as close to parallel with centerline of the ship as possible (any variation
from actual alignment can be electrically calibrated if needed).
13. Using Loctite 271, install the four fender washers and hex nuts (provided in the
radome installation kit), from the underside of the mounting surface, to affix the
radome to the mounting surface. Tighten to torque spec.
14. Remove the clamp bar and Roxtec®
Multidiameter® blocks from their cable
mounting frame in the cable passage
channel.

15. Remove the rubber bar from the top of the

Roxtec® Multidiameter® blocks.

16. Remove the Roxtec® Multidiameter® blocks

from the cable mounting frame.

4-4
EAR Controlled - ECCN EAR99

17. Pass the coaxial and power cables through

the cable mounting frame.
HINT: Again, It may be easier to connect or tie-
wrap the coaxes and power cable temporarily.
18. Re-install the cable mounting frame onto
cable passage channel using the four screws
and flat washers that were removed in step 7
above.

19. Peel layers out of the upper and lower

Roxtec® Multidiameter® blocks to provide an
opening in the block that is just smaller than
the outer diameter of the cable that will pass
through it. When compressed the block
should provide clamping force on the cable
and prevent it from moving in the block.

20. Two cables may be passed through each of

the Roxtec® Multidiameter® CM-20w40
blocks provided.
21. If cables larger than 1.65cm/0.65in outer
diameter will be used, larger single-cable
Roxtec® Multidiameter CM-40 10-32 blocks
are available to allow three cables of up
to3.25cm/1.28in diameter to be used. The
rubber bar and the three double-cable
Roxtec® Multidiameter blocks will be
replaced by the three larger Roxtec®
Multidiameter blocks.
HINT: It may be helpful to put the clamp bar and
rubber bar in place (held loosely by one screw) to
hold some of the Roxtec® Multidiameter blocks in
place while you complete the others.

22. Re-install the clamp bar using the hardware

removed in step 14 above.
23. Remove the tag lines.
24. Remove the lifting sling.
25. Remove the four lifting eye nuts and re-
install the original perimeter bolt hardware
(the eyes are galvanized with bare thread
that will rust if left exposed to the weather).
Save the lifting eye hardware in case lifting of

4.3.3. Antenna Pedestal Mechanical Checklist

1. Open the radome hatch (if you didn’t previously) and enter part way into the radome.
2. Remove the locking bar under the cross-level beam, tiewrap(s) and web strap(s) that are
restraining the pedestal. Save the locking bar and web strap shipping restraints so that
they can be re-used to restrain the antenna if the system will be un-energized while the
ship is underway.
3. Check to assure that the antenna moves freely in azimuth without hitting any area of the
interior of the radome or fouling in any of the cables in the base of the radome. Elevation
and cross are held by the brakes built into those motors.
4. Check that all pedestal wiring and cabling is properly dressed and clamped in place.

4.1. Install the 81” ADE

If your system was ordered with the 81” radome;

4.1.1. Preparing and Installing the Single Piece 81” Radome Assembly
The antenna pedestal is shipped completely assembled in its 81” single piece radome.
1. Remove the shipping hold-down bolts which mount the ADE to its’ pallet.
2. Install four lifting eye bolts, provided in the radome installation kit, in holes around the
perimeter of the baseframe.
3. Attach a four-part lifting sling to the four lifting eyes
in the base of the radome and initially lift the radome
assembly free of its shipping pallet. Place the
radome assembly on temporary support blocks at
least 22 inches high.
4. Loosely assemble the radome base frame's eight legs
and eleven braces as shown in the Radome Base
Frame Assembly drawing using the hardware
provided. Insure that a split washer is used under
each nut. When assembled, apply Loctite and
tighten all hardware.
5. Using the four-part lifting sling, and with a tag line
attached to the radome base frame, hoist the
antenna assembly to its assigned location aboard ship by means of a suitably-sized crane or
derrick.
6. The radome assembly should be positioned with the BOW marker aligned as close as
possible to the ship centerline. Any variation from actual alignment can be compensated
with the Home Flag Offset and AZIMUTH TRIM adjustment, so precise alignment is not
required.
7. Bolt or weld the legs of the radome base frame directly to the ship's deck or suitable
mounting surface. If the deck is uneven or not level, weld clips to the deck and attach them
to the legs of the radome base frame. When completed the radome should be as near to
level as is practical.
8. Disconnect the lifting sling from the four lifting eyes in the base of the radome.
9. Remove the four lifting eye bolts. Save the lifting eye hardware in case lifting of the ADE is
required in the future.
10. Route AC Power and IF coax cables through the strain reliefs installed in the basepan of the
radome. Allow enough service loop to terminate these cables to the circuit breaker
assembly and connector bracket respectively (see cable termination information below).

4.2. Grounding the Pedestal

The antenna pedestal must be grounded to the hull of the ship. A grounding point is provided on the upper
base plate to ground the pedestal. A ground wire, of appropriate gauge for it’s length, must be provided to
ground the pedestal to the mounting platform that it will be bolted to (this is usually on or near the mounting
surface). This mounting must also be electrically common with the hull of the vessel.
If a longer ground connection is required to reach a common metal connection to the hull, you must provide
that longer cable/strap that is of sufficient gauge and length to ground the pedestal to the nearest grounding
point of the hull.
Solid strap is the conductor of choice for low impedance RF ground connections because the RF currents tend
to flow along the outer surface and the strap has a large smooth surface area to take full advantage of this
effect.
Braid is the conductor of choice where flexibility is required. Sea Tel uses braid to cross axes of the antenna
pedestal and to connect various subassemblies together.
Wire is the easiest to install and connect and is readily available with a weather protective jacket. 4 awg and 6
awg bare solid copper wire is commonly used as safety grounds and very basic lightning protection grounds.
2 awg stranded wire is often used for lightning grounding and bonding and it much more flexible.

1. Connect the ground wire (of adequate gauge for the length) to a burnished ground point on,
or near, the mounting surface. This burnished grounding point must be electrically common
with the hull. Bi-metal coupling plate may be required to get good electrical coupling to the
hull of the ship. Protective coating should be applied to prevent the grounding point, and
ground wire, from rusting or corroding.
NOTE: Minimum gauge should not be smaller than 10 AWG, even for a short cable run.

2. Route the ground cable/strap up

through the radome base with the
coax and power cables.
3. Route the ground strap/cable
through one of the Roxtec®
Multidiameter® blocks with the
other power and coax cables.
4. Connect the grounding
strap/cable to the burnished
ground point on the upper base
plate.

4.3. Removing the Shipping/Stow Restraints PRIOR to Power-Up

The order the restraints are removed is not critical.

CAUTION: There are three shipping/stow restraints on this antenna pedestal

that MUST be removed, before energizing the antenna, for normal operation.

4.3.1. Removing the AZ Shipping/Stow Restraint

1. The AZ shipping/stow restraint is

formed by a pin bolt that is lowered into
a channel in a stowage block on the
upper plate of the pedestal (as shown).
2. To un-stow the antenna, remove the pin
bolt from the LOCK position.

3. Install the pin bolt into the STOW hole

and tighten. This assures that it does
not get lost and will be ready for re-use
if the antenna needs to be stowed again
at a later date.
4. Verify that the antenna is able to rotate
freely in azimuth.

4.6. Setup - Media Xchange Point™ (MXP)

Now that you have installed the hardware, you will need to setup, calibrate and commission the antenna.
You may also need to load/update the modem option file, which is not part of the scope of this manual,
contact the airtime provider NOC for guidance.

At the very least, you will need to set up the antenna system for:
• Connect & configure a ships computer for accessing the MXP.
• The gyro compass signal being provided by the ship.
• The tracking receiver frequency settings for the satellite to be used (configure satellites).
• Set up / configure all satellites that the system might use as the ship travels.
• Check/Set Home Flag Offset.
• Set up Blockage zone(s) as needed.
• Acquire the desired satellite.
• Optimize targeting (Auto or manual trim).
• Arrange for commissioning & cross-pol isolation testing with the NOC.
• Conduct cross-pol isolation testing with the NOC.
• Conduct other commissioning testing with the NOC (ie P1dB compression point).
• If this is a Dual Antenna installation configuration, you will have to balance the TX levels of the two
antennas while online with the NOC (refer to procedure in the Dual Antenna Arbitrator manual).
• It is strongly recommended that you down, and save, the system INI file (contains all of the system
parameters). Save this file in a convenient location.

4.1. Cyber Security Caution

Sea Tel Antenna systems are not intended to be connected directly to the Internet. They must be connected
behind a dedicated network security device such as a firewall. In addition, we highly recommended that you
change default passwords. This is an extremely important consideration that must be taken into account as
part of commissioning procedures as attackers with malicious intent (after easily obtaining default passwords
and identify internet-connected systems) can be rendered a system inoperable.
For clarification purposes, the factory default Passwords/Configurations are only intended for initial
production testing/verification purposes and it is an assumed responsibility of the installing partner to change
and record the login credentials and is shared only with persons whom are directly responsible for
operation/maintenance of the system. Instructions on how to change passwords may be located within the

Setup – Ship’s Gyro Compass Sea Tel 6012-45

6. Setup – Ship’s Gyro Compass

The Ships Gyro Compass connection provides true heading (heading of the ship relative to true North) input to the
system. This allows the ICU to target the antenna to a “true” Azimuth position to acquire any desired satellite.
After targeting, this input keeps the antenna stabilized in Azimuth (keeps it pointed at the targeted satellite Azimuth).

6.1. Setting the Gyro Type

The GYRO TYPE parameter selects the type of gyro compass interface signal, the appropriate hardware
connections, and the ratio of the expected input signal for ship turning compensation. Default GYRO TYPE
parameter for all systems is Step-By-Step so that the ICU will properly follow for Step-By-Step or NMEA gyro
signals.
If the Ships Gyro Compass output is Synchro, or there is NO Gyro Compass, the GYRO TYPE parameter must
be set correctly to properly read and follow the Ships Gyro Compass signal that is being provided. To
manually update the Gyro Type parameter:

1. Go to the Communications Interface screen.

2. Click the Gyro Type drop down menu..

3. Select the correct Gyro type.

Sea Tel 6012-45 Setup – Ship’s Gyro Compass

4. Click Save, at the bottom left area of the

screen.

6.2. If there is NO Ships Gyro Compass

Without heading input to the system the MXP will NOT be able to easily target, or stay stabilized ON, a “true”
azimuth pointing angle. This will make satellite acquisition much more difficult and the true azimuth value
that any given satellite should be at will not be displayed correctly.
This mode of operation is NOT recommended for ships or any other vessel that turns in the water. A better
solution would be to provide a Satellite Compass (multiple GPS Antenna device) to provide true heading input
to the MXP. These devices are readily available and are much less expensive than a Gyro Compass.
If there is NO Gyro Compass (ie on a large stationary rig which is anchored to the ocean floor) set the GYRO
TYPE parameter to “No Gyro” or to “Fixed”.
Fixed mode is used when you do not have a gyro compass, but the ship/vessel/rig is stationary at a
fixed heading that you can manually enter for satellite targeting. This allows you to use a standard
(small) search pattern and acquire the satellite relatively quickly.
No gyro mode is used when you do not have a gyro compass, the ship does turn and you will use
“Sky Search” to initially acquire the satellite. The Sky Search drives the antenna to the calculated
elevation angle and then drives azimuth CW 450 degrees, steps elevation up and then drives azimuth
CCW 450 degrees and continues to alternately steps elevation up/down and drives azimuth
alternately CW/CCW 450 degrees. Because of this large search area, acquiring the satellite will take
MUCH longer than if you have valid heading input.

1. Go to the Reflector Configuration page

2. To change: Set the Scan Rate parameter to 5
deg/sec.

If your system is using OpenAMIP these parameters will be set by the modem for the satellite/beam that the modem is
using (this also allows for automatic beam switching to be controlled from the model, remotely controlled from the
network).
Follow the instructions below to manually set these parameters. .

7.1. Determining the IF Tracking Frequency (MHz)

The IF Tracking frequency parameter is a value entered into the MXP MHZ Sub-Menu. The value itself may be
provided by your air-time provider and the MHz value will be entered directly in this sub-menu.
Or, the RF downlink frequency of a specific carrier on the desired satellite can be obtained from a satellite
website and calculated by using the formula RF- LO = IF. When you take the Satellite Transponder Downlink
RF value and subtract the LNB’s Local Oscillator (LO) Value, the resultant value will equal the Intermediate
Frequency (IF). It is this IF value that will be entered into the MXP for tracking purposes. The MHz and KHz
are entered as a single value.

Example: Assuming an LNB LO value of 11.25GHz: We want to track a satellite downlink carrier at 12268.250
MHz (12268.250 MHz – 11250.000 MHz) = 1018.250 MHz IF

Enter the entire six digits of the “megahertz and

Setup – Azimuth Trim Sea Tel 6012-45

8. Setup – Azimuth Trim

Beginning in IMA software version 1.05, calibrating the targeting of your antenna is much easier. This is accomplished
improving Sky Search and changing the way that Azimuth Trim works so that the need for Home Flag Offset is
eliminated. Azimuth Trim now corrects the relative position of the antenna in all configurations which have
valid/accurate gyrocompass input.
If the antenna has been purposely mounted with the bow mark of the ADE not in alignment with the bow of the ship,
such as for safe entry into the radome hatch, note and enter the approximate offset into the AZ TRIM parameter
before searching for the satellite for the first time. EXAMPLE: The antenna is being mounted on the port side of the
ship where it is unsafe for the hatch to be oriented directly in line with the stern. The installer rotates the ADE so that
the bow mark is facing directly to the port and bolts that ADE into place. When first powering the system up, he will
enter +90 in the AZ TRIM parameter to indicate that the ADE was rotated CW 90 degrees during the installation. This
will make initial satellite acquisition faster (even though sky search would still find the satellite). This entry is only
needed on a new installation that AUTO TRIM has not been run on yet. If the ADE had been similarly installed on the
starboard side -90 degrees would have been entered to indicate that the ADE was rotated CCW 90 degrees during the
installation.

Setup – Blockage & RF Radiation Hazard Zones Sea Tel 6012-45

9. Setup – Blockage & RF Radiation Hazard Zones

The Blockage Zones function inhibits the antenna from transmitting within certain pre-set zones. This is typically
some structure of the ship that prevents satellite signal from getting to the Sea Tel antenna when the ship is at
headings that put that structure in-between the satellite and the satellite antenna,
However, it can also be used as an RF Radiation Hazard zone. If there is an area where people may be near the
antenna (within 2 meters), in the antennas transmitted beam for extended periods of time the zone can be set up so
that transmit from the satellite antenna will be disabled whenever the antenna is pointed in that zone.

9.1. Radiation Hazard and Blockage Mapping

The MXP can be programmed with relative azimuth sectors (zones) where blockage exists or where transmit
power would endanger personnel who are frequently in that area. Your MXP software allows you to set four
zones.
When you create these ZONES (up to four), several things happen when the antenna is within any one of the
zones:
1. Tracking continues as long as the AGC value is greater than the Threshold value. When the AGC
value drops below Threshold, the antenna will wait “Search Delay” parameter amount of time and
then re-target the satellite you targeted last. Timeout and re-target will continue until the satellite is
re-acquired and tracking can resume.
2. The satellite modem transmission will be disabled until
the antenna exits the zone.
The lower and upper azimuth limits are entered into the REL
start, REL stop and EL fields within the MXP for each of the
blockage zones you wish to create (up to four). Each zone can
also be given a name (ie Mast, Deckhouse or Stack:
REL Start is the Lower Relative AZ limit (this is the more
counter-clockwise of the two points, even if it is
numerically larger). REL Stop is the Upper Relative AZ
limit (the more clockwise of the two points) for pattern
mapping of each. Enter the elevation value that
represents the top of the blockage between the two
azimuth limit points in the EL field.
Repeat for up to four zones, click SAVE when
completed.
Programming instructions:
Determine the Relative AZ positions where blockage, or RF
Radiation Hazard, exists. This may be done by monitoring the
received signal level and the REL display readings while the ship
turns or by graphing the expected blockage pattern. Elevation of
the antenna in normal use also must be taken into consideration.
A Mast or other structure may cause blockage at low elevation angles, but may not cause blockage when the
antenna is at higher elevation angles where it is able to look over the structure. Up to four zones may be
mapped. Only zones which are needed should be mapped.
EXAMPLE - Overlaid Blockage Zones: A ship has a Sea Tel antenna mounted on the center line of the ship.
A mast mounted on top of a deckhouse (like the picture below) is forward and an engine exhaust stack, also
on a deckhouse, is aft. These two blockage areas have wide azimuth blockage at lower elevations and then a
narrower azimuth area of blockage extends up to a higher value of elevation.

Sea Tel 6012-45 Setup – Blockage & RF Radiation Hazard Zones

ZONE 1 named “Fwd Deckhouse” begins (REL Start) at 334 degrees Relative and ends (REL Stop) at
026 degrees Relative. Enter REL Start value of
334.0 and REL Stop value of 26.0. In this case the
mast height only causes blockage up to an elevation
of 40 degrees, so we set EL to 40.0. If the antenna is
between these two AZ Limit points but not in the
“mast” zone AND the elevation is greater than 40
degrees, the antenna will no longer be blocked.
ZONE 2 named “Mast” begins (REL Start) at 352
degrees Relative and ends (REL Stop) at 008
degrees Relative. Enter REL Start value of 352.0
and REL Stop value of 8.0. In this case the mast
height only causes blockage up to an elevation of 70 degrees, so we set EL to 70.0. If the antenna is
between these two AZ Limit points but the elevation is greater than 70 degrees, the antenna will no
longer be blocked.
ZONE 3 named “Aft Deckhouse” begins (REL Start) at 155 degrees Relative and ends (REL Stop) at
205 degrees Relative. Enter REL Start value of 155.0 and REL Stop value of 205.0. In this case the
aft deckhouse height only causes blockage up to an elevation of 30 degrees, so we set EL to 30.0. If
the antenna is between these two AZ Limit points but the elevation is greater than 30 degrees, the
antenna will no longer be blocked.
ZONE 4 named “Stack” begins (REL Start) at 173 degrees Relative and ends (REL Stop) at 187
degrees Relative. Enter REL Start value of 173.0 and REL Stop value of 187.0. In this case the stack
height only causes blockage up to an elevation of 55 degrees, so we set EL to 55.0. If the antenna is
between these two AZ Limit points but the elevation is greater than 40 degrees, the antenna will no
longer be blocked.

10. Configuring The Satellite Modem Interface.

The configuration setup of an integrated satellite modem to the MXP is accomplished via the Communication
Interface Page (Configuration>Interfaces link on the navigational panel on the left hand side of the screen). In order to
access this page, the user must be logged in as either “Dealer” or “SysAdmin”. The current software load, IMA Ver 105
at the time of this release) contains 6 commonly used satellite Modems (iDirect, Comtech, Gilat, Hughes, STM, and
Viasat) as selectable presets and is typically a prompted selection when using the new Commissioning Wizard.
However, the MXP allows configuration of a “Custom” modem type. The primary focus of this procedure is to define
all of the parameter options made available to allow the commissioning technician to properly integrate any
compatible L-Band Satellite modem.

10.1. Satellite Modem Interface

1. If not already, log into the system using

the “Dealer” or “SysAdmin”
credentials.

2. On the left hand side of the screen,

under Configuration, select the
“Interfaces” link.

3. On the right side of the screen,

approximately half way down is the
“Modem Lock Mute” section. This
section is where the user, via drop
down menu selection and/or mutually
exclusive radio buttons, defines:
• Reflector
• Modem Type
• Modem I/O
• Lock Input
• Block Output

10-1
EAR Controlled - ECCN EAR99
Sea Tel 6012-45 Configuring The Satellite Modem Interface.

10.1.1. Reflector setting

Use: In a dual reflector based antenna system, the
“Reflector” selection defines which reflector the modem
configuration applies to.
Selection Type: Mutually Exclusive Radio Buttons
Options: Primary or Secondary
Notes: In the current Series 12 antennas this setting
should always be set to PRIMARY. Failure to do so may
result in abnormal system operation.

10.1.2. Modem Type setting

Use: This selection defines which manufacturer of
satellite modem is to be interfaced with the system.
Selection Type: Drop down menu selection
Options: iDirect, ComTech, Gilat, Hughes, STM,
Viasat, or Custom.
Notes: The selection of modem type (along with the
modem I/O) allows the IMA software to configure the
appropriate RX Network Lock, and TX Mute/Block
output Lock interfaces per the modem
manufacturers’ specifications.
Once you select one of the manufacturers and I/O from the dropdown list the other settings that are
appropriate for that modem will be set for you (and greyed out).
If your modem manufacturer is not listed, you will need to select “Custom” and manually configure
the modem I/O properties. Refer to the custom settings information below.

10.1.3. Modem I/O setting

Use: This selection defines which type (and location)
of communication interface between the MXP and
the satellite modem.
Selection Type: Drop down menu selection
Options: OpenAMIP, ROAM, TS1, TS2, or CLI.
Notes: The Modem I/O selections of iDirect’s
OpenAMIP or ComTech’s ROAM, both forms of ABS
(Automatic Beam Switching), communicate via
TCP/IP traffic between the MXP’s J9 or J10 Ethernet
port and the applicable modems Ethernet port. It
should also be said that, to use these I/O types, there is a requirement that the integrated satellite
modem and NOC (hardware and software) are properly configured and capable to support said
feature.
Modem RJ45 is used for standard console port type connections where GPS forwarding is required
(i.e. iDirect Console Port) in addition to Positive Satellite ID (RX Network Lock) and TX
Mute/Blockage zone functionality
TS1 and TS2 are hard wired interfaces used only for positive satellite ID (RX Lock) and TX mute
functionality.
In some installations, CLI (Command Line Interface) may be desired. CLI is used when a third party
ABS device (separate from satellite modem itself) is interfaced to provide antenna control, positive
satellite ID (Rx Lock), and TX mute functionality via TCP/IP traffic between the MXP’s J9 or J10
Ethernet port, or Serial Traffic (Console), and the applicable devices Ethernet port.

10.1.4. Modem I/O – Custom Settings

Use: The individual Modem I/O selections allow the user to manually define the expected driver
(output) and detector (input) circuit(s) as well as
positive satellite ID functionality between the MXP
and the satellite modem.
Selection Type: Mutually Exclusive Radio Buttons
Options: Lock Input: On or Off, Polarity, 12V Pull
up.
Block Output: Polarity and 12V Pull up
Notes: The lock input and Block output radio
button selections may only be modified if the
Modem Type “Custom” Modem Type has been
selected.
If any of the other Modem Types are selected, the Lock Input and Block Output radio buttons are
predefined for you by software and therefore become read only. This is evidenced to the user by
disabling the selections, see image to right for an example of this.
10.1.4.1. Modem I/O – Lock ON/OFF
Use: The Modem I/O Lock Input “Lock” selection defines whether or not the MXP will use
positive satellite ID functionality.
When OFF, the system will simply use the tracking receiver settings and the subsequent
AGC from the receiver to track an acquired satellite. This may be the desired satellite or it
may be an adjacent satellite that was acquired during a search for the desired satellite.
When ON, the system must get AGC and ALSO receive a network lock logic signal from the
modem to continue tracking the acquired satellite. This prevents tracking the wrong
satellite and verifies that the antenna is in fact on the desired satellite (to get network lock
from the modem the antenna must be on the correct polarity of the correct satellite). If
during a search an adjacent satellite is found, good AGC from the tracking receiver will cause
the system to initially track/peak this satellite but be waiting for a network lock signal from
the satellite. If the lock signal is not received within 30-40 seconds, that system will return
to the search track line and resume searching for the satellite which provides AGC & Lock.
Lock Input settings below MUST be set correctly for this functionality to work properly.
Selection Type: Mutually Exclusive Radio Buttons
Options: Lock ON or OFF.
Notes: Modem Type “Custom” must have been selected to allow changes to these settings.
Setting Modem Lock to “ON” will enable the positive satellite ID feature whereas setting
modem Lock to “OFF” disables the feature. With the exception of the some calibration
procedures (ie during Cross-Pol isolation and 1dB compression tests) it highly recommended
to leave this setting to ON. By doing so, you eliminate tracking on adjacent satellites for any
extended amount of time (typically 30-40 seconds)
10.1.4.2. Modem I/O – Lock Input – Polarity
Use: The Modem I/O Lock Input Polarity selection defines whether the hard lined wire input
provides a logic level high or logic level low as indication of Positive Satellite ID (RX Network
Lock indication).

10-3
EAR Controlled - ECCN EAR99
Sea Tel 6012-45 Configuring The Satellite Modem Interface.

Selection Type: Mutually Exclusive Radio Button

Options: Polarity Low or Hi.
Notes: Modem Type “Custom” must have been selected to allow changes to this setting.
You must refer to your satellite modems manufacturers written specifications for its
nominal receive lock indication output. Example if you have a satellite modem that provides
a nominal 5VDC output when in a NON-Locked condition (off satellite) and 0Vdc when in a
locked condition (on satellite), you would set Polarity to “Low”.
If your modem provides a continuity based output, short to ground is Low, and Open is
High. If your modems output is continuity based logic the Voltage must be set to 12V and
the 12V pull up must be set to “ON” (See Modem I/O Voltage & 12V Pull up sections below).
Failure to do so may result in a false Rx Lock trigger when the applicable modem interface
cable is removed for any reason.
10.1.4.3. Modem I/O – Lock Input - Voltage
Use: The Modem I/O Lock Input Voltage selection defines the nominal voltage range for the
hard lined wire input for indication of Positive Satellite ID (RX Network Lock indication).
Selection Type: Mutually Exclusive Radio Buttons
Options: Voltage 3V, 5V or 12V.
Notes: Modem Type “Custom” must have been selected to allow changes to this setting.
You must refer to your satellite modems manufacturers written specifications for the
receive lock indication voltage range that it provides as an output. The receive logic level
itself is interpreted by the MXP based on the above mentioned Polarity selection (the actual
Low versus Hi polarity trigger is 50% of selected voltage range). Example: You have a
satellite modem that provides a 12VDC output range and Polarity has been set to Low.
When the detected voltage is between 0 to 6Vdc, the MXP would interpret this as a Positive
Satellite ID. Voltage between 6.1 and 12Vdc would be interpreted as a failed Positive
Satellite ID (because it is High).
If your modem provides a continuity based output (short to ground is Low, and Open is
high), you must set this selection to 12V.
10.1.4.4. Modem I/O – Lock Input - 12V Pull Up
Use: The Modem I/O Lock Input 12V Pull Up selection defines whether or not to use a built-
in 12VDC Pull up resistor for the hard lined wire input for indication of Positive Satellite ID
(RX Network Lock indication). The MXP requires a voltage input for this satellite ID
functionality.
If your modem outputs continuity based logic, the pull up circuit (ON) converts the
continuity to voltage. For all voltage based modem outputs, it MUST be set to OFF to
prevent false Positive Sat ID indications (voltage high & higher, but never low).
Selection Type: Mutually Exclusive Radio Buttons
Options: 12V Pull Up Off or On.
Notes: Modem Type “Custom” must have been selected to allow changes to this setting.
If your modem provides a continuity based output (short to ground is Low, and Open is high)
this selection must be set to “ON”. For all voltage based modem outputs, it MUST be set to
OFF.
10.1.4.5. Modem I/O – Block Output – Polarity
Use: The Modem I/O - Block Output selection defines whether or not the MXP will provide a
logic level Low or logic level Hi output when a condition exists that requires muting the IF
transmission of the system. This is known as TX Mute functionality and is a signal from the
MXP to the Satellite Modem (which in turn removes drive to the Block Up Converter
mounted on the antenna assembly). The signal flow for this feature is from the MXP to the
Satellite Modem.
Selection Type: Mutually Exclusive Radio Buttons

10-4
EAR Controlled - ECCN EAR99
Configuring The Satellite Modem Interface. Sea Tel 6012-45

Options: Polarity Low or Hi.

Notes: Modem Type “Custom” must have been selected to allow changes to this setting.
You must refer to your satellite modems manufacturers written specifications for the input
required to mute the modems output to the BUC. Ascertain whether the input signal must
be Hi or Low logic to mute and whether it is continuity based logic or voltage based.
Example: If your satellite modem requires a Hi logic input (continuity or voltage) to cease
transmissions you must select Hi.
There are numerous compliance laws (FCC and other worldwide entities) that mandate the
ability and/or need to immediately mute transmit on a VSAT system when at least one of
numerous predefined conditions are met. In most cases, these are conditions that
ultimately determine that the system is not accurately pointed to the desired satellite.
However there are some conditions where this may not be true, as is the case of the antenna
being pointed at a pre-defined “Radiation Hazard Zone”, which discussed in detail within
another chapter of this manual, is programmed in as a Blockage Zone, thus the name Block
Output.
There may be an area on board the vessel in which crew and/or guests may be in the direct
path of the terminals transmission to the satellite and might possibly be harmed by long
term exposure to the microwave signal. This sector would be described as a blockage zone
so that the transmissions from the antenna would cease when pointed in that area.
Similarly a mast or other structure on the ship, directly in the beam path of the transmission,
which would prevent transmitted signal from reaching the satellite and cause reflections
which may degrade the signal or even be harmful to the antenna. These obstructions would
also be described as a blockage zones. This similar in concept to “sector blanking” a radar
array.
10.1.4.6. Modem I/O – Block Output – 12V Pull Up
Use: The Modem I/O Block Output 12V Pull Up selection defines whether or not use a built-
in 12VDC Pull up resistor for the hard lined wire input for Blockage output (TX Mute).
If your modem requires a continuity based input (Short to ground is Low, and Open is High)
this selection must be set to OFF. For all voltage based modem inputs, it MUST be set to
ON.
Selection Type: Mutually Exclusive Radio Buttons
Options: 12V Pull Up OFF or ON.
Notes: Modem Type “Custom” must have been selected to allow changes to this setting.
Example: Your modem requires a high, voltage based, input to mute the modem. You
would set Polarity to Hi and 12V Pull Up to ON.
If your modem required a low, continuity based, input to mute the modem. You would set
Polarity to Low and 12V Pull Up to OFF.

11. Setup – Targeting

Optimize the targeting of the antenna to track on or near a desired satellite (within +/-1 degree.

11.1. AUTO TRIM

The Auto Trim function will automatically calculate and set the required Azimuth and Elevation trim offset
parameters required to properly calibrate the antennas display to the mechanical angle of the antenna itself,
while peaked ON satellite.
After locating the satellite, with Tracking ON, wait at least 2 minutes before performing the AUTO TRIM,
this will allow sufficient time for the antenna to peak up on the satellite signal and for the targeting loops to
completely stabilize. It is equally important that you verify that the system is tracking the CORRECT satellite
(verify a RX lock indication on the satellite modem).

NOTE: The AUTO TRIM feature is NOT allowed unless all of these conditions are met:
• The antenna must be actively tracking a satellite (AGC above threshold) AND
• The antenna must have positive SAT ID (RX lock input from the Satellite Modem) AND
• The elevation angle of the antenna must be LESS than 83 degrees AND
• The antenna must NOT be set for Inclined Orbit Search AND
• The system must NOT be set for “No Gyro” mode.

1. To activate the Auto Trim function, go to

the Reflector Configuration screen.

12. Setup – Satellite Configuration

If you are using a remotely controlled ABS network control configuration (ie OpenAMIP, ROAM or legacy ABS direct
connection to the MXP disregard this chapter as the network will make all changes in the MXP for the new beam or
satellite to be used.
The values that these parameters are set to depends on the hardware configuration required for each satellite.
Configure each of the satellites that airtime services will be provided on so that any one of them can be selected,
remotely or by the user onboard. The satellite selection will in turn control the hardware on the antenna pedestal to
select the correct TX & RX hardware and the correct tracking settings.
Sea Tel provides quad-band LNBs as standard on the Ku-Band feed assemblies.

12.1. Searching Patterns

The MXP will initiate an automated search pattern after AGC falls below the current Threshold setting
(indicates that satellite signal has been lost). The SEARCH DELAY parameter sets the amount of delay, in
seconds that the MXP will wait after AGC has fallen below the threshold value before it starts a search. Below
are the choices of patterns that each satellite can be set to.

12.1.1. Default “Spiral” (Box) Search Pattern

The factory default search pattern in the MXP is a “Spiral” pattern.
When a search begins;
The antenna will then search up in azimuth one Search
Increment, search up one Search Increment in elevation,
search down two Search Increments in azimuth, search
down two Search Increments in elevation, etc until Search
Limit is reached. When the end of the search pattern is
reached, the MXP will retarget the antenna to the
calculated Azimuth and Elevation position of the desired
satellite (start point).
If the desired signal is found (AND network lock is
achieved in the satellite modem) at this position, or
anywhere within the search pattern, the MXP will terminate search and go into Tracking mode. If the
desired signal is not found the MXP will wait SEARCH DELAY seconds and then begin the search
pattern again. This cycle will repeat until the desired satellite signal is found or the operator
intervenes.

12.1.2. Inclined Orbit Search Pattern

Some older satellites, in order to save fuel to keep them exactly positioned over the Equator, are in
an inclined geosynchronous orbit. The satellite remains
geosynchronous but is no longer geostationary. From a
fixed observation point on Earth, it would appear to trace
out a figure-eight with lobes oriented north-southward
once every twenty-four hours. The north-south excursions
of the satellite may be too far off the center point for a
default box search pattern to find that satellite at all times
during the 24 hour period.

12-1
EAR Controlled - ECCN EAR99
Sea Tel 6012-45 Setup – Satellite Configuration

When a search begins, Initially the antenna will go to a calculated position that is half of SWEEP INCR
degrees above, and perpendicular to, the satellite arc (along the same angle as polarization for the
desired satellite). This position is the “Start” of the search pattern in the graphic above. Then the
antenna will drive down along the polarization angle SWEEP INCR degrees, step one Search
Increment to the right (parallel to the satellite arc), search up along the polarization angle SWEEP
INCR degrees, step two Search Increments to the left, search down, etc expanding out in the search
pattern until Search Limit is reached. When the end of the search pattern is reached, the MXP will
retarget the antenna to the calculated Azimuth and Elevation point.
If the desired signal is found (AND network lock is achieved in the satellite modem) at this position,
or anywhere within the search pattern, the MXP will terminate search and go into Tracking mode. If
the desired signal is not found the MXP will wait SEARCH DELAY, then target the antenna to start
point shown in the graphic above and begin the search pattern again. This cycle will repeat until the
desired satellite signal is found or the operator intervenes.

12.1.3. Sky Search Pattern

A Sky Search pattern does a hemispheric pattern. It behavior is different if you have a gyro compass
input or not::
No Gyro - If you do not have gyro compass set the gyro type to “no gyro”. When in this mode, Sky
Search drives the antenna to the calculated elevation angle and then drives azimuth CW 450 degrees,
steps elevation up and then drives azimuth CCW 450 degrees and continues to alternately steps
elevation up/down and drives azimuth alternately CW/CCW 450 degrees. Because of this large
search area, acquiring the satellite will take longer than if you have valid heading input. If the end of
the search pattern is reached, the MXP will retarget the antenna back to the start point shown in the
graphic below.
With Gyro - If you have gyro compass set the gyro type to the appropriate selection. When in this
mode, Sky Search drives the antenna to the calculated elevation angle and then drives azimuth CW
360 degrees, steps elevation up and then drives azimuth CCW 360 degrees and continues to
alternately steps elevation up/down and drives azimuth alternately CW/CCW 360 degrees. Because
of this large search area, acquiring the satellite will take less time because you have valid heading
input. If the end of the search pattern is reached, the MXP will retarget the antenna back to the start
point shown in the graphic below.

If the desired signal is found (AND network lock is achieved in the satellite modem) at any position
within the search pattern, the MXP will terminate search and go into Tracking mode.
If the desired signal is not found within the search pattern the MXP will wait SEARCH DELAY seconds
and then begin the search pattern again. This cycle will repeat until the desired satellite signal is
found or the operator intervenes.

Quick Start Operation Sea Tel 6012-45

13. Quick Start Operation

If your system has been set up correctly, and if the ship has not moved since the system was used last, the system
should automatically acquire the satellite from a cold (power-up) start. Once the satellite has been acquired, the
modem then should achieve lock and you should be able to use the system.

13.1. If satellite signal is found AND network lock is achieved:

1. Tracking will take over (front panel

Tracking LED will be ON) and
automatically peak the antenna
position for highest receive signal
level from the satellite.

2. When the ICU has signal above

threshold AND modem has network
lock the antenna will continue to
track the satellite.
3. Satellite Name (if entered), Tracking
indicator, Modem Lock indicator
and signal level (number value and
bar graph) will be displayed in the
header of the MXP GUI pages.
Upon completion of the above, the system
will continue to operate automatically,
indefinitely until:
• AC power to the system is
interrupted OR
• The satellite signal is blocked
OR
• The ship sails into an area of
insufficient satellite signal
strength/level.

13.2. If no signal is found:

If the system does NOT automatically find the satellite from a cold start, follow the steps below:

1. The Tracking LED will flash for a

short period of time (Search Delay)
followed by the Search LED coming
ON.
2. The ICU will automatically move the
antenna in the selected Search
pattern until looking for a signal
value that is greater than the
threshold value (red bar in the bar
graph).

3. Not finding a signal greater than

Threshold, the bar graph will stay
red and the antenna will reach the
end of the prescribed search
pattern.
4. The antenna will retarget and the
cycle will repeat (Search Delay
timeout, conduct search pattern
followed by retarget).
5. Check Latitude, Longitude and
Heading. These should be correct,
but may be updated if necessary.
6. Access the System Status screen.
7. Find the Latitude, Longitude (under

Optimizing Cross-Pol Isolation Sea Tel 6012-45

14. Optimizing Cross-Pol Isolation

Now that all of the other setup items have been checked and changed as necessary, it is time to contact the NOC to
arrange for cross-pol isolation testing and whatever other commissioning the NOC asks for. Read this procedure
thoroughly before you are asked to begin. Assure that you are on the correct satellite and have RX network lock. (the
NOC may have you adjust TX Frequency and/or modem TX level prior to beginning cross-pol isolation). At the
appointed time follow the steps below for the cross-pol isolation testing.

14.1. Optimizing Cross-Pol Isolation

1. Access the Tools - Position Antenna

screen.
NOTE: You will use Skew to optimize
polarization because it drives the feed
immediately (Linear Offset is slower, longer term
drive).
2. Record the value in the Skew field in the
upper section of the screen. If this
satellite has a known Skew, it will be
entered in the satellite configuration
displayed here. If this satellite is not
skewed this field will be 0.0.
3. While talking to the technician at the
NOC make adjustments to the Skew
value to adjust polarity of the feed under
his/her direction (minus values are
accepted – type a minus sign before the
number value). It is best to adjust in one
degree increments to get close to best
isolation and then half degree steps and
then tenths as needed. Click “Submit”
after each numeric change is typed in.
4. Record the DIFFERENCE in Skew value
which was required to achieve optimum
cross-pol isolation.
5. Set Skew back to the value recorded in
step 2.

14-1
EAR Controlled - ECCN EAR99
Sea Tel 6012-45 Optimizing Cross-Pol Isolation

6. Access the Reflector Configuration

screen.
7. Change the “Linear Offset” value by the
amount of difference recorded in step 4.
Examples:
Skew was 0.0, you increased it to 2.5 to optimize
TX polarization. You set Skew back to zero and
go to the Reflector Configuration screen where
you find Linear Offset to be 0.0, so you increase
Linear Offset to 2.5 degrees and click Save.
Skew was 3.0, you decrease it to 1.0 to optimize
TX polarization. You set Skew back to 3.0 and go
to the Reflector Configuration screen where you
find Linear Offset to be 0.0, so you set Linear
Offset to minus 2 (-2.0) degrees and click Save.
8. Double check with the NOC to assure
that cross-pol is still optimized.
9. Conduct any other testing as directed by
the NOC (ie P1dB compression).

Stowing the Antenna Sea Tel 6012-45

15. Stowing the Antenna

This antenna must be properly stowed if the ship will be underway while AC power to the Above Decks Equipment
(ADE) is de-energized. Failure to do so may void your warranty.

CAUTION: There are three stow restraints that MUST be installed on this antenna
pedestal if the ship will be underway while the Above Decks Equipment is de-
energized.

It is strongly recommended that AC Power to the ADE and BDE be supplied from an adequately rated Un-interruptible
Power Supply (UPS) to protect the antenna against short power outages while underway.

15.1. Installing the Stow Restraints

The order the restraints are installed is not critical.

15.1.1. Installing the AZ Shipping/Stow Restraint

1. The AZ shipping/stow restraint is formed by

a pin bolt that is lowered into a channel in a
stowage block on the upper plate of the
pedestal (as shown).
2. Remove the pin bolt from the “STOW” hole
(this only stows the pin bolt, not the
antenna).
3. Rotate the antenna to center the LOCK hole
directly over the stow block channel.

4. To restrain azimuth rotation of the antenna,
install the pin bolt in the “Lock” hole and
assure that the pin drops into the channel in
the stow block below.
5. Verify that the stow pin is engaged in the
channel of the stow block and that the
antenna does NOT rotate in azimuth.

16.4. Cables

16.4.1. Antenna L-Band IF Coax Cables (Customer Furnished)

Due to the loss across the length of the RF coaxes at L-Band, Sea Tel recommends the following 50
ohm coax cable types (and their equivalent conductor size) for our standard pedestal installations.
Type N male connectors installed on the cables MUST be 50 Ohm connectors for the center pin to
properly mate with the female adapters we provide on the Base multiplexer panel and on the adapter
bracket mounted inside the radome next to the breaker box.:

 Procedure, Radome Strain Relief Installation

1.0 Purpose. To define the installation procedure for installing strain reliefs in “smooth base”
radomes.
2.0 Scope. This installation procedure applies to fiberglass radomes having Sea Tel’s standard
four-hole mounting pattern, and M12 mounting hardware, in the 80-180 cm (34-66 in)
nominal size range, typically referred to as “smooth” base radomes. It also applies to our
larger 193 cm (76-inch) radome having a twelve-hole mounting pattern. It is to be used where
the preferred center cable exit may not be desired.
3.0 Tools/materials.
1. Electric drill.
2. Small drill bit 1/8” dia. (3-4mm dia.).
3. Hole saw, 1 3/8” dia. (35 mm), with mandrel and ¼” dia. pilot drill.
4. Medium file.
5. Two 1-1/2” (38 mm) adjustable pliers.
6. #2 Phillips screwdriver.
7. Fiberglass resin & catalyst, (marine grade) - at least 2 oz (50 cc).
Such as Tap Plastics Marine Vinyl Ester Resin with MEKP Catalyst.
Note: Use liquid resin, instead of paste type, due to better penetration.
8. Mixing cup – 4 oz (100 cc).
9. Disposable brush.
10. Strain Relief Assembly 124903-1, (one per cable).
4.0 Responsibilities. It is the responsibility of the installer to observe all standard safety
precautions, including eye, slip, and chemical protection when performing this procedure.
4.1 Procedure.
Remove the standard cable pass through assembly 130818-1*
* N/A for 193 cm (76-inch) nominal size radomes. Refer to Fig 1, then use #2 Phillips
screwdriver to remove 4 ea. attachment screws.
Use #2 Phillips

 Procedure, Radome Strain Relief Installation

4.2 Making the holes

PLANNING: Space has been allowed for
up to 5 ea. strain reliefs, but, install only A
as many as needed. (Typically only 2-3 B
for TX/RX systems). Refer to Fig 2 then
plan which hole positions to use. C
For 76-inch radomes lowest holes may
be approx 1.5 inches from inside wall
corner with floor (ref drawing 129416).
Note: The hole center-to-center distance
given is the MINIMUM.
E
Follow good engineering practice and
provide the largest spacing possible
between holes as follows: D
1 Hole pattern - "A".
2 Hole pattern - "B", "C".
3 Hole pattern - "A", "B", "C", ("A", "D", "E" PERMITTED). Fig. 2 – Planning
4 Hole pattern - "B", "C", "D", "E". Measure in place or use

 Procedure, Radome Strain Relief Installation

4.3 Measure, mark and drill pilot holes

CAUTION: The hole locations cannot be determined accurately from outside of the radome.
Using full scale drawing 132234, provided in the strain relief kit, measure mark and drill pilot holes from
the inside out, and using only light pressure, use the small drill bit, (~1/8” dia) to make a pilot hole
through each planned location.
4.4 Use the hole saw from the outside with light pressure.
CAUTION: Using the hole saw from the inside is likely to damage the Gel Coat.
CAUTION: Heavy pressure on the hole saw from the inside is likely to damage the Gel Coat and
splinter the fiberglass.
Working from the outside, use a 1-3/8” hole saw to make the holes for the planned strain reliefs.
4.5 After holes are drilled CAREFULLY use a file to clean the hole edges.
4.6 Test fit the strain reliefs in each location, then, make adjustments as
necessary.
4.7 Sealing the hole edges.
CAUTION: Cut edges can allow water and/or ice ingress and weaken the fiberglass laminate or
structural foam. It is essential to seal all cut edges thoroughly with fiberglass resin to preserve the
radome’s structural strength.
CAUTION: Fiberglass paste or RTV silicone sealant will not wick into and seal the fiberglass strands as
well as fiberglass resin, ONLY use fiberglass resin (such as TAP PLASTICS MARINE VINYL ESTER,
or equivalent) for sealing the cut edges.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to mix a small amount of fiberglass resin and catalyst, then
working quickly, use a disposable brush to apply mixed fiberglass resin to the hole edges, both inside
and out.
Allow the fiberglass resin to set per resin manufacturer’s instructions.
Note: Like all chemical reactions, set time will be temperature/humidity dependent.
4.8 Refer to strain relief assembly drawing 124903
Being careful not to damage either the radome or the strain relief threads, use adjustable pliers to install
strain reliefs.

 Procedure, General Strain Relief Installation

1.0 Purpose. To define the installation procedure for installing strain reliefs in the base pan of
the radome.
2.0 Scope. This installation procedure applies to fiberglass base pans used in Sea Tel’s 75”, 81”
and 110” base frames.
3.0 Tools/materials.
1. Electric drill.
2. Small drill bit 1/8” dia. (3-4mm dia.).
3. Hole saw, 1 3/8” dia. (35 mm), with mandrel and ¼” dia. pilot drill.
4. Medium file.
5. Two 1-1/2” (38 mm) adjustable pliers.
6. Fiberglass resin & catalyst, (marine grade) - at least 2 oz (50 cc).
Such as Tap Plastics Marine Vinyl Ester Resin with MEKP Catalyst.
Note: Use liquid resin, instead of paste type, due to better penetration.
7. Mixing cup – 4 oz (100 cc).
8. Disposable brush.
9. Strain Relief Assembly 124903-1, (one per cable).
4.0 Responsibilities. It is the responsibility of the installer to observe all standard safety
precautions, including eye, slip, and chemical protection when performing this procedure.
5.0 Procedure.
5.1 Planning
Strain reliefs should be installed near center of the base pan so that cable installed will not
cause a tripping hazard inside the radome. Only one cable may be installed in each strain
relief. Center-to-center spacing of the holes for the strain reliefs must not be less than 1.80”.
• Typical Transmit/Receive systems will need up to 4 strain reliefs; TXIF coax, RXIF
coax, Pedestal Power and Marine Air Conditioner Power.
• Typical TVRO antennas may require up to 7 strain reliefs; 2 C-band coaxes, up to 4
Ku-band coaxes and Pedestal Power.
5.2 M easure, m ark and drill pilot holes
Accurately measure and mark the hole locations on the base pan from the inside of the
radome. Drill a pilot hole through each planned location using the small drill bit (~1/8” dia)
and only light pressure.
5.3 Use the hole saw from the outside w ith light pressure.
CAUTION: Using the hole saw from the inside is likely to damage the Gel Coat on the
underside of the base pan.
CAUTION: Heavy pressure on the hole saw from the inside is likely to damage the Gel Coat
and splinter the fiberglass.
Working from the outside at each pilot hole, use a 1-3/8” hole saw to make the holes for each
of the planned strain reliefs.
After holes are drilled, CAREFULLY use a file to clean the edges of the the holes.
Test fit the strain reliefs in each location, then, make adjustments as necessary. Do NOT
install strain reliefs at this time.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to mix a small amount of fiberglass resin and catalyst,
then working quickly, use a disposable brush to apply mixed fiberglass resin to the hole edges,
both inside and out.
Allow the fiberglass resin to set per resin manufacturer’s instructions.
Note: Like all chemical reactions, set time will be temperature/humidity dependent.
5.5 R efer to strain relief assem bly draw ing 124903 (attached)
Being careful not to damage either the radome or the strain relief threads, use adjustable
pliers to install strain reliefs into the base pan with the locking nuts & sealing rings.
5.6 I nstalling Cables
Pass the end of the cable through the strain relief cap, washer, rubber stopper and then
trough the body of the strain relief into the radome interior.
Pull sufficient excess cable into the radome to route the cable to its intended termination
point. Once cables have been installed, slide the strain relief cap, washer and rubber stopper
up into the body of the strain relief.
Tighten the cap until the rubber compresses sufficiently to prevent the cable from sliding in
the body of the strain relief.
