  2.2.1 Obstructions The antenna rotates 360° and down to –25° for the SAILOR 500 FleetBroadband and -60° for the SAILOR 250 FleetBroadband in pitch and roll, to allow for continuous pointing even in heavy sea conditions. Any objects within this field can cause signal degradation.

• Page 25: Table 3: Safety Distance Versus Radiation Level

  Chapter 2: Installing the system 2.2.2 Radiation hazard The SAILOR 500 FleetBroadband antenna radiates up to 22 dBW EIRP. This translates to a minimum safety distance of 1.3 m from the antenna while it is transmitting, based on a radiation level of 10 mW/cm The SAILOR 250 FleetBroadband antenna radiates 16.1 dBW EIRP.

• Page 26
  Chapter 2: Installing the system 2.2.3 Interference Overview The antenna must be mounted as far away as possible from the ship’s radar and high power radio transmitters (including other Inmarsat based systems), because they may compromise the antenna performance. RF emission from radars might actually damage the antenna.
• Page 27
  Chapter 2: Installing the system Radar It is difficult to give exact guidelines for the minimum distance between a radar and the antenna because radar power, radiation pattern, frequency and pulse length/shape vary from radar to radar. Further, the antenna is typically placed in the near field of the radar antenna and reflections from masts, decks and other items in the vicinity of the radar are different from ship to ship.

• Page 130: Grounding Recommendations

  Appendix C: Grounding and RF protection C.4 Grounding Recommendations C.4.1 Grounding the terminal The terminal should be grounded to the ship/hull by means of a short antenna cable and a grounding kit. Further, the terminal must be grounded at its grounding stud in order to ensure proper grounding if the short antenna cable is disconnected.

• Page 131
  Appendix C: Grounding and RF protection C.4.2 Grounding the antenna You can ground the antenna to the ship/hull via one or more of its mounting bolts. Make sure to remove painting, dirt, grease etc. at the mounting holes in order to make good electrical contact to the hull. Use serrated washers when securing the mounting bolts and seal the joint with protective coating to avoid corrosion.

• Page 144: Rf Interference

  Appendix C: Grounding and RF protection C.10 RF interference Interference induced from nearby RF transmitters might cause system failures and in extreme cases permanent damage to the SAILOR FleetBroadband equipment. If problems with interference from HF transmitters are encountered, it is advisable to mount ferrite clamps on the coax cable in order to provide suppression of induced RF.

• Page 145: Electrostatic Discharge

  Appendix C: Grounding and RF protection C.11 Electrostatic Discharge In addition to the RFI attenuation, mounting ferrite clamps on the antenna cable will also slow the fast rate-of-rise of an electrostatic discharge current pulse. This might be an issue during installation (antenna cable disconnected) where different electrical potentials have had the chance to build up between the terminal and antenna.
