Safety and Warranty GENERAL All cables for the Fleet33 system are shielded and should not be affected by magnetic fields. However, if possible do not run cables parallel to AC wiring – failing to do so might cause the equipment to be faulty or working properly. SERVICE User access to the interior of the Transceiver Unit is prohibited. Only technicians authorised by Thrane & Thrane A/S may service the unit - failing to do so will void the warranty.
POWER SUPPLY The operation voltage is 24 VDC. Note that long-term operation below 24 VDC should be avoided. It is recommended supply to provide supply from the ship hot 24 VDC power bus. Maximum peak power requirement for F33 is 110 W and maximum average power consumption is 60 W. If a 24 VDC power bus is not available, an external 115/230 VAC to 24 VDC power supply can be used.

TT-3008G Antenna Unit 2 TT-3088A System Units TT-3088A System Units 2 The basic system consists of four units: The Antenna Unit (Above Deck Unit - ADU), the Transceiver Unit (Below Deck Unit - BDU), the Handset Cradle and the TT-3620G Control Furthermore an accessories kit is delivered system. 2.1 TT-3008G TT-3038G TT-3622E Handset. with the TT-3008G Antenna Unit The antenna unit consists of a stabilised antenna with RFunit and an antenna control unit (ACU) with internal GPS.
TT-3088A System Units TT-3038G Transceiver Unit TT 2 2.2 TT-3038G Transceiver Unit The transceiver unit – which contains the primary electronic parts – is designed for wall or desktop installation. The transceiver unit supplies 28 VDC to the antenna unit through a single coaxial cable. The power requirement is 105 W peak and 60 W average at 24 VDC. The power shall be provided by the ship hot 24 VDC power bus, or by an external VAC to VDC power supply (minimum 4.5A). 2.

Radiation Hazard 3 3.1 Antenna Unit Antenna Unit Radiation Hazard The F33 antenna radiates 21 dBW (max.) with a gain of 14 dBi. This translates to a minimum safety distance of 1.3 m from the antenna while it is transmitting. This is based on a radiation level of 0.8 mW/cm2. 3 M IC R O W A V E NO PERSON NEL based on 8 W /m 2 1 .
Antenna Unit 3.2 Antenna Site Antenna Site 3.2.1 Obstructions The antenna unit rotates 360° and down to –25° in pitch and roll to allow for continuous pointing even during the worst sea states. Any obstructions within this volume can cause signal degradation. The amount of degradation depends on the size of the obstruction and the distance from the antenna. As a rule of thumb any obstruction, which subtends an angle of less than 3° at the antenna will have limited effect.
Antenna Site Antenna Unit avoided by mounting the TT-3008G at a different level – such that the unit is installed min. 15° above or below the radar. RADAR d 15° min . 15° min . 3 The minimum acceptable distance to a radar antenna is determined by the power emitted by the radar. The table below contains some “rule of thumb” distances as a function of the radar power. Radar power 0 – 10 kW 30 kW 50 kW d min. operational* 4m 7m 12 m d min.
Antenna Unit Unit Installation At antenna unit positions more than 60° above or below the radar, it should be possible to reduce “d min. operational”. It is strongly recommended to verify interference free operation experimentally before the installation is finalised. Even if experiments show that interference free operation can be obtained at shorter distances than the “d min. operational” given above, the antenna unit must never be installed closer to a radar than the “d min. damage” given above.
Unit Installation Antenna Unit The transceiver unit and the antenna unit are connected by a single 50 Ω double screen coaxial cable. The maximum length of the coaxial cable depends on the type of cable used. The table below shows the specifications for Thrane & Thrane A/S standard cables. Cable Type RG223 RG214 SA07272 SA12272 Max. Length 10 m 30 m 50 m 70 m 3 The coaxial cable can be extended if it complies with the specified losses incl. connection listed below.
Antenna Unit Unit Installation 3 3.3.3 Antenna Unit Mounting The TT-3008G can now be installed on the mounting pole using the pole mount kit. The only electrical connector is a single TNC-Type connector in the bottom of the antenna. The antenna tracking system is directional why the heading direction of the antenna unit is extremely important, as setting the wrong heading will cause the antenna to lose track of the satellite as soon the ship start to move.
Unit Installation Antenna Unit arrow placed on the black base defines the F33 heading. This must point in the ships forward direction. After having connected the antenna cable to the unit – ensure that the connector assembly is properly protected against seawater and corrosion. As a minimum, the use of self-amalgamating rubber tape is recommended. 3 3.3.4 Grounding The TT-3008G should be grounded to ship hull using the grounding strap (item 9).

Unit Installation 4 4.1 Transceiver Unit Transceiver Unit Unit Installation To ensure adequate cooling of the transceiver unit a 5 cm unobstructed space must be maintained around all sides of the unit (except the bottom side). The unit is manufactured as a cabinet for bulkhead or desktop installation. The cabinet is equipped with two mounting brackets, which makes it possible to secure the unit on a bulkhead, cf. Appendix C.2 “Outline Dimensions”.
Transceiver Unit Connecting Power 4.2.1 Ship Source Impedance It is required that the total source impedance at the Transceiver Unit does not exceed 250 mΩ. Select a power outlet from the 24 VDC ship supply, and measure the source impedance of the ship installation as described in appendix C.2. If 50 mΩ ship source impedance is measured, only 200 mΩ is left for power cable loop resistance (250 mΩ - 50 mΩ = 200 mΩ).

Transceiver Unit Connecting Power circuit in the power cable/connector, the ship DC outlet should be protected by a 10 Amp fuse or circuit breaker. When the TT-3038G is turned off, the voltage measured directly on the transceiver unit power connector, should be in the range 24V DC -10%/+30%, i.e. 21.6V – 31.2V. As the power cable voltage loss may be significant, it is recommended to check the input voltage of the unit also when transmitting at a high power level. Setting up a 9.
Handset Cradle Unit 5 Cradle/Handset Units Cradle/Handset Units 5 5.1 Handset Cradle Unit 5.1.1 Unit Installation The Handset Cradle used for F33 can be placed anywhere onboard the ship. The only limitations are: Apr 2004 • Maximum cable length of 40 m. • Minimum safe distance compass 1.1 m.
Cradle/Handset Units Handset Cradle Unit No special grounding of the Handset Cradle is required. 5.1.2 Handset Cradle Assembly The Handset Cradle comes with an assembly kit holding the following parts: Item Qty Name 1 4 Screw, Sheet screw 3,5 x 25 A4 2 4 Rubber Blind Plug, 3622A 3 1 Relieving Clamp 4 6 Screw 3 x 10 PT Self tapping 5 2 Screw 3 x 6 PT Self tapping 6 1 Blind Plate Connect the cable and secure the cable using the relieving clamp (3).
Control Handset Unit Cradle/Handset Units Assemble the upper and lower cradle part using the selftapping screws. Mount the cradle at the wall and cover the mounting holes using the four blind plugs (2). 5.2 Control Handset Unit 5.2.1 Unit Installation The TT-3620G Control Handset is installed by plugging in the RJ45 connector to the TT-3622E Handset Cradle. After this the Control Handset can be placed in the cradle.
