SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read these safety instructions before you operate the equipment.

WARNING

Do not open the equipment unless totally familiar with electrical circuits and service manual.

Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment.

Do not approach the radome closer than 1.4 m (FELCOM 500) or 0.7 m (FELCOM 250) when it is transmitting.

The radome emits radio waves which can be harmful to the human body, particularly the eyes.

Turn off the power at the mains switchboard before beginning the installation. Post a sign near the switch to indicate it should not be turned on while the equipment is being installed.

Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can result if thepower is left on or is applied while the eqiuipment is being installed.

WARNING

Ground the equipment to prevent electrical shock and mutual interference.

Confirm that the power supply voltage is compatible with the voltage rating of the equipment.

Connection to the wrong power supply can cause fire or damage the equipment.

Keep the following compass safe distances to prevent interference to a magnetic compass.

1.HOW TO INSTALL THE UNIT

NOTICE

Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant or contact spray to coating or plastic parts of the equipment.

Those items contain organic solvents that can damage coating and plastic parts, especially plastic connectors.

1.1Antenna Unit

General

Interfering objects (especially metal objects like masts) near the antenna can, in the worst case, prevent reception or transmission. Further, RF radiation from the antenna will affect the human body. Keep these and the following guidelines in mind when selecting a mounting location for the antenna unit.

Secure unobstructed path in all directions

The best mounting location secures an unobstructed path between the antenna unit and the sat- ellites, from horizontal to zenith. In other words, whatever the direction the antenna unit is pointing there are no interfering objects within the main beam (22?? for FELCOM 500, 40?? for FELCOM 250). While this might be feasible on some vessels, on others it is impossible due to space con- siderations. The antenna unit should be located at least three meters away from masts having a diameter less than 15 centimeters.

Select a location low in vibration

The maximum permissible vibration amplitude in three axis direction should be as shown in the table below. Consult with the shipyard to determine the mounting location which meets the re- quirements shown in the table.

1. HOW TO INSTALL THE UNIT

Locate away from passengers and crew

Radio waves can be harmful to the human body. Because safe distances change by country and ship construction, there is no standard formula to calculate safe distance. However, below are general guidelines.

???FELCOM 500: Personnel should not approach an area in which the radiation level is higher than 10 W/m2, i.e., within 1.40 m from the radome surface.

WARNING

Do not approatch within 1.40 m of the antenna radome when it is transmiting. Microwave radiation can be harmful to the human body, particularly the eyes.

Construct a protective fence around the antenna unit so that personnel can not approach the antenna unit within 1.40 m. Also, to alert personnel not to approach the antenna unit, attach the caution labels (supplied as installation materials) to any bulkhead which is at the position of 1.40 m from the antenna unit.

1. HOW TO INSTALL THE UNIT

???FELCOM 250: Personnel should not approach an area in which the radiation level is higher than 10 W/m2, i.e., within 0.70 m from the radome surface.

MICROWAVE RADIATION !

NO ADMITTANCE WITHIN 0.7 m

0.7 m

Construct a protective fence around the antenna unit so that personnel can not approach the antenna unit within 0.70 m. Also, to alert personnel not to approach the antenna unit, attach the radiation warning sticker (supplied as installation materials) to any bulkhead which is at the po- sition of 0.70 m from the antenna unit.

Minimum distance from other antennas

MF/HF antennas, communication/navigation antennas:

The antenna unit should be at least five meters from a MF/HF antenna. The VHF, satellite navi- gation antenna and other communication antennas should be at least four meters away.

Radar:

The antenna unit should be at least 5 meters away to protect the low-noise amplifier in the FEL- COM 500/FELCOM 250 antenna unit. If this distance cannot be secured be sure the antenna unit is not within the radar beam. However, never install the antenna unit within 3 m of a radar antenna.

More than 5 m

30

20

If installed within 5 m of radar antenna, the antenna unit must not be within the radar beam. Never install the antenna unit within 3 m.

1. HOW TO INSTALL THE UNIT

Compass safe distance

Locating the antenna unit too close to a compass can affect the compass performance. Keep the compass safe distance to prevent interference to the magnetic compass. See page i.

Other mounting guidelines

Other important mounting guidelines are

???Locate the antenna unit away from exhaust stacks (foreign material on the radome can interfere with reception and transmission).

???Keep the unit away from heat sources.

???Locate the unit away from places where fuels and chemical solvents are stored.

???Keep in mind the length of the cable from the communication unit is maximum 100 meters (when coaxial cable 12D-SFA-CV is used).

Guardrail, platform

To facilitate servicing, construct a mast of about one meter (40") in height. (See page 5.) The para- graphs which follow provide guidelines for selection and construction of the mast.

Fit the mast with a guardrail and platform (or steps), for serviceman's safety. (In most installations the serviceman stands on the platform while checking the radome. Thus this distance should be secured for ease of servicing.) The height of the guardrail should be as tall as possible to ensure safety.

Mast strength

The mast material must be sufficiently strong to meet the demands of the marine environment. It should satisfy the following requirements.

???It must be able to support radome mass plus at least 2.5 cm (1") of ice and snow. Special consideration should be given if the unit is operated in areas of heavy snow or freezing temperature.

???The mast bending moment must be able to withstand expected maximum pitching, rolling and wind pressure.

???To prevent resonance at low frequencies (approximate- ly 5 Hz), four stays can be fixed between the mast and the mounting base.

1. HOW TO INSTALL THE UNIT

Antenna mast and mounting base

To get the best performance from the antenna electronics and mechanics, the antenna must be installed properly on a specially designed mast with suitable flange and rubber gasket. Below are guidelines for installation of the mounting mast and mounting base.

???The mounting base should be parallel to the ship's waterline (tolerance: ??3??).

???Weld a ground bolt of stainless steel to the mast (figure below). Connect the ground wire from the antenna unit to the ground bolt.
