CERTIFICATION
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one of the following measures:
· Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
· Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
· Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
· Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. The antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation
distance of at least 1m from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Fleet One is Inmarsat’s global service and its specific tariff is only available in those green
areas of the coverage map (see below).
The green areas represent the voice and data services and they are known as the “Home
Region” area. The area outside the home region area is known as” Out of Region” which
supports only voice service (including 505 emergency call). Roaming outside the Out of
Region area will have an impact on the airtime price. A buyer is advised to consult Inmarsat
Airtime Providers for specific information regards to airtime prices and specific coverage.
Only Inmarsat Fleet One SIM card can be used with an iFleetONE™ terminal.

iFleetONE™ Terminal Installation Manual
1.1 Introduction
The iFleetONE™ user equipment (UE) consists of two units:
Below Deck Equipment (BDU) which is a communication unit
Above Deck Equipment (ADU) which is an antenna unit
The antenna module includes a low noise amplifier (LNA), high power amplifier (HPA), and
tracking receiver circuitry. All the signals and power pass through a single coaxial antenna
cable, which connects the ADU to the BDU.
Page 15 of 41
iFleetONE™ Terminal Installation Manual
The BDU requires +12V or +24V DC power supply input. It supplies power to the ADU via a
single RF / coaxial antenna cable.
The Primary Handset’s connector is plugged into the BDU’s primary handset port. It is
powered directly from the BDU.

1.5.3 Interference
The antenna unit must be mounted as far as possible away from the HF antennas,
communication/navigations, VSAT systems and any high power radio transmitter (including
other Inmarsat-based systems).
Radar
It is difficult to provide the exact minimum distance between a radar and the antenna
unit due to different type of radars in terms of power, radiation pattern and operating
frequency band.
The antenna unit is recommended to be at least ±15⁰ from the radar’s vertical beam.
The minimum radar distance indicates the minimum distance between the closest
point of the radar and the closest surface of the antenna radome. This distance is
determined by the radar, transmit frequency and the power.

Page 18 of 41
iFleetONE™ Terminal Installation Manual
The table below gives the recommended minimum distance d between X- and S-
band radars and the antenna. Antenna damage is normally avoided by ensuring the
separation distance is met or exceeded.
HF and VHF transmitters can also interfere with the performance of the antenna and
also damage the antenna if placed too close. The table below gives guidelines for the
minimum distance between the antenna and HF and VHF transmitters.
VSAT System
For optimum performance the distance between the antenna and VSAT antennas
should be at least 3 meters.
GPS Antenna
As the antenna transmits power close to the GPS receive band, the minimum
distance to GPS antennas is typically 5 meters.
1.5.4 Obstruction
When locating the antenna, it is very important to ensure that there is a clear line-of-sight to
the satellite for all the satellite elevation angles in the region in which the vessel will operate.
The antenna moves in azimuth 360⁰ and in roll and pitch down to -15⁰ to ensure constant
tracking even in heavy seas. Any obstructions within this arc can cause performance
degradation of the signal quality. The amount of degradation depends on the size of the
obstruction and distance from the antenna. The table below is a guide on the object size, at a
given distance from the antenna that gives limited degradation.

Clearance holes for M6 ( Recommended >6.5mm)
In the case of the existing mast’s flange on the vessel or ship does not fit the ADU’s
mounting base’s holes, a custom-made mechanical adaptation flange should be designed
and fabricated so that the flange acts as an interface between the existing mast and the
ADU.

Put the antenna unit on the mounting flange and use 6 sets of M6 x 35 Hex head
bolts (made of A4 stainless steel) with flat washers into the threaded holes of the
antenna unit’s mounting base via the mounting flange holes.
Tighten the bolts to the antenna unit in order to secure it to the mounting flange.
Alternatively it can be mounted on the long pole. The physical dimension of a long pole shall
be preferably 2 meters in height with a diameter of Ø35 to Ø50mm. In addition, the optional
pole mount kit is available for the installation of the antenna unit onto the long post.
The following important notes are to be followed for the selection of a location before
installing the BDU:
The unit is not waterproof and it must be kept away from any water splashes.
The ambient temperature and humidity in the selected location must meet the
requirements given in the unit’s specification.
Ambient Temperature -25ºC to +55ºC
Relative Humidity Up to 95% at +40ºC.

iFleetONE™ Terminal Installation Manual
The BDU comes with a cable support item, which is included in the box. The cable support
item is to secure the cables from the BDU.
The BDU can be installed on a desktop, bulkhead, top ceiling or under captain’s console.
The procedure of the installing the BDU is simple as follow:
Place the BDU on the desired installation area.
Look for the holes of the BDU’s mounting brackets.
Page 24 of 41

Using the holes of mounting brackets and four suitable M4x12mm self-tapping or
machined screws so that the BDU is secured to the selected surface.

The other end of the earth cable must have good electrical contact to the vessel’s hull with the
removal of paint, dirt, grease and metal oxide at the connection point to the hull.
The system requires a Fleet One service SIM card to access the Inmarsat network and it is
provided by your Airtime Service Provider. Insert the SIM card into the BDU as follows:
Page 30 of 41

Use the ON/OFF switch on the BDU’s front panel. It normally takes about 1.5 to 3 minutes for the whole
terminal to be powered up and to register with the satellite network.
Wait for the three LED indicators (“TERMINAL”, “ANTENNA” and “REGISTERED”) to turn green.

The Web Console will appear. The terminal will proceed automatically to “Checking PIN
status” followed by “Antenna Pointing” and then registering to the network (upon power on).
WARNING: If the signal strength is low (< 50 dB), check any obstruction of
the antenna unit or the condition of antenna cable.
Upon successful registration, with the BDU’s LED indicators (“TERMINAL”,”ANTENNA” and
“REGSITERED”) in green, the terminal will be ready for normal operation.
