INSTALLATION OF iFleetONE™ TERMINAL


1.5 Installation of ADU
1.5.1 Overview
In general, any obstructing objects like a mast near the antenna unit can block reception or
transmission from the satellite’s line of sight. In addition, RF radiation emitting from the
antenna will affect the human body. When selecting a mounting location, it is important to
ensure that the antenna unit shall be free of severe vibration and shock and heat and smoke
from the funnel. More guidelines will be detailed in the next sections.

1.5.2 Radiation Hazard

Radio waves can pose a hazard to the human body. Safe distances are subject to country
and ship construction regulations. There is no standard formula to calculate the safe
distance. The below guidelines are to be noted.

iFleetONE™ Terminal Installation Manual

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.

30 kW 2.4 m 1.2 m
50 kW 4.0 m 2.0 m

Transmitting Equipment < 1GHz

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.

Antenna location at the minimum distance from HF / VHF


Type Power Distance
HF < 60MHz 100 W 1.0 m
HF < 60 MHz 500 W 2.5 m
VHF > 60 MHz 25 W 1.5 m

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.

Other L-Band Systems

Typical L-Band satellite communication equipment should be able to operate in close


proximity without loss of performance (Refer to Section 2.1.4 Distance to obstruction
objects). Importantly such equipment typically includes GPS antennas, and that it can
be necessary to use the typical minimum separation distance of typically 5 meters.
Page 19 of 41
iFleetONE™ Terminal Installation Manual

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.

Object Distance Object Size


3m 16 cm
6m 32 cm
10 m 52 cm
15 m 79 cm

1.5.5 Antenna Mast


The physical size of an antenna mast must be able to support the weight and size of the
antenna unit. Additionally, the antenna mast must be able to withstand on-board vibrations
and wind speed (up to 100 knots) on the antenna radome. An example of the antenna
mounted in a suitable mast is illustrated as below

Recommendations of the antenna mast include:


 The mast should provide the internal hole for the installation of the antenna / coaxial
cable
 The flange (known as the top plate) of the mast shall meet the dimensions of the
ADU’s mounting base where there are 6 fixing holes.
 The rubber gasket is required to be inserted between the ADU mounting base and
