Satcube Ku User Manual v2.3-2020
SATCUBE PROPRIETARY
• Keep cables away from water
Ensure that the power cable and other used cables are not placed in submerged conditions
or in areas where water could collect.
• Make sure AC power supply is grounded
If the equipment is connected to an AC power supply, the power
supply must be properly grounded in order to ensure safe operation.
• Only connect the equipment to protected network
The mains supply network to which the terminal is connected must
be protected by measures such as differentials and circuit breakers.
d) Operational precautions
• Lifting and carrying
The terminal user should always handle the
terminal with precaution and not lift with
rapid motions to protect against personal
injuries or equipment damage.
• Cable routing and trip hazard
Ensure that all laid out cables do not create any
trip hazards to personnel. Never place cables in
areas where people are expected to move.
• Antenna safety instructions
Use only manufacturer supplied antenna.
Radiation exposure is calculated with respect to
the supplied manufacturer antenna.
• Keep a safety distance from the
signal aperture
At all times, make sure that an area
within a safety distance of the
terminal is cleared before starting
transmission to avoid radiation
damages. The required safety
distance depends on the antenna
elevational angle, the height of
personnel, possible bystanders or
other objects such as buildings and
trees. If the terminal is raised from
the ground or elevational angle is
increased the required safety
distance decreases. The general
formula to calculate the safety
distance is: L =
𝐻 − ℎ
tan(𝛉)

Figure 2 The user must always keep outside a safety distance
given by
L =
𝐻 − ℎ
𝑡𝑎𝑛(𝜽)
during transmission to avoid injury. H=height
of object, h=terminal height above ground,
𝜽 = elevation angle,
L=safety distance. See Table 2 for precalculated safety distances
for a common mode of operation.
Table 2 Minimum safety distance for different angles if
the Satcube Ku terminal is positioned 45 cm above the
ground and is operated by someone who is 185 cm tall.
*Calculated from the radiated effect of the antenna –
this is the minimum safety distance if the terminal is
directed directly at the user. If the user is not within the
direct beam of the antenna, such as behind the
antenna, the safe distance is 20 cm.
