Site Survey 2. 5012-33 Installation Manual Site Survey The objective of the Site survey is to find the best place to mount the antenna & the below decks equipment, the length and routing of the cables and any other items or materials that are required to install the system and identify any other issues that must be resolved before or during the installation. 2.1.
5012-33 Installation Manual 2.3. Site Survey Mounting Foundation 2.3.1. Mounting on Deck or Deckhouse While mounting the ADE on a mast is a common solution to elevate the ADE far enough above the various obstructions which create signal blockages, sometimes the best mounting position is on a deck or deckhouse top. These installations are inherently stiffer than a mast installation, if for no other reason than the design of the deck/deckhouse structure is prescribed by the ship’s classification society.
Site Survey 5012-33 Installation Manual 9. 2.4. foot rung should be added. Additional rungs should be added for every 0.3 meter (12 inches) of pedestal height above the ship’s structure. For an ADE mounted greater than 3 meters (9 feet) above the ship’s structure, a fully enclosing cage should be included in way of the access ladder, starting 2.3 meters (7 feet) above the ship’s structure.
5012-33 Installation Manual 2.5.1. Site Survey Vertical Masts Vertical masts are a very ancient and common mast design. In essence, it is the mast derived from the sailing mast, adapted for mounting the ever-increasing array of antennae ships need to communicate with the world.
Site Survey 5012-33 Installation Manual support structure will reduce the vibration tendencies. Mounting the antenna directly above the girder columns provides ample support to the antenna pedestal and locates the antenna weight where it will influence the natural frequency of the mast the least. 2.5.4. Truss Mast Truss masts are a variant on the girder mast concept.
5012-33 Installation Manual Site Survey moisture exists. The ends of the conduit shall be sealed with cable glands (preferred), mastic or low VOC silicon sealant after the cables have been passed through. Cables passing through bulkheads or decks shall be routed through approved weather tight glands. 2.8.1. ADE/BDE Coaxial Cables The first concern about the coaxial cables installed between the ADE & BDE is length.
Site Survey 2.9. 5012-33 Installation Manual Grounding All metal parts of the ADE shall be grounded to bare metal at the mounting pedestal. Grounding straps from the base of the ADE to a dedicated lug on the mounting pedestal are preferred, but grounding may also be accomplished by exposing bare metal under all mounting bolts prior to final tightening. Preservation of the bare metal should be done to prevent loss of ground. Grounding should be ensured throughout the entire mounting to the hull.

Setup – Ship’s Gyro Compass 5. 5012-33 Installation Manual Setup – Ship’s Gyro Compass The Ships Gyro Compass connection provides true heading (heading of the ship relative to true North) input to the system. This allows the ICU to target the antenna to a “true” Azimuth position to acquire any desired satellite. After targeting, this input keeps the antenna stabilized in Azimuth (keeps it pointed at the targeted satellite Azimuth). 5.1.
5012-33 Installation Manual 4. 5.2. Setup – Ship’s Gyro Compass Click Save, at the bottom left area of the screen. If there is NO Ships Gyro Compass Without heading input to the system the MXP will NOT be able to easily target, or stay stabilized ON, a “true” azimuth pointing angle. This will make satellite acquisition much more difficult and the true azimuth value that any given satellite should be at will not be displayed correctly.

Setup – Home Flag 7. 5012-33 Installation Manual Setup – Home Flag Home Flag is used to calibrate the relative azimuth value of the antenna to the bow line of the ship. This assures that the encoder input increments/decrements from this initialization value so that the encoder does not have to be precision aligned. When the antenna is pointed in-line with the bow (parallel to the bow) the “Relative” display value should be 000.0 Relative (360.0 = 000.0).
12-33 Installation Manual 7.1.1. Setup – Home Flag You Observe “Home” Pointing is LEFT of the Bow-line: In this example, I observe that the Home position is short of the bow line. I estimate that it is about 45 degrees away. I target my desired satellite and record the Calculated Azimuth to be 180.5. I drive UP (I estimated that I will need to go UP about 45 degrees) and finally find my desired satellite. Turn tracking ON to let the ACU peak the signal up. When peaked, the Azimuth is 227.0 degrees.
Setup – Home Flag 5012-33 Installation Manual 7.1.3. Entering a large value as Home Flag If the amount of offset is greater than +/-5 degrees, enter it as Home Flag.

Procedure, Radome Strain Relief Installation 1.0 Purpose. To define the installation procedure for installing strain reliefs in “smooth base” radomes. 2.0 Scope. This installation procedure applies to fiberglass radomes having Sea Tel’s standard four-hole mounting pattern, and M12 mounting hardware, in the 80-180 cm (34-66 in) nominal size range, typically referred to as “smooth” base radomes. It also applies to our larger 193 cm (76-inch) radome having a twelve-hole mounting pattern.
Procedure, Radome Strain Relief Installation 4.2 Making the holes PLANNING: Space has been allowed for up to 5 ea. strain reliefs, but, install only B as many as needed. (Typically only 2-3 for TX/RX systems). Refer to Fig 2 then plan which hole positions to use. For 76-inch radomes lowest holes may be approx 1.5 inches from inside wall corner with floor (ref drawing 129416). Note: The hole center-to-center distance given is the MINIMUM.
Procedure, Radome Strain Relief Installation 4.3 Measure, mark and drill pilot holes CAUTION: The hole locations cannot be determined accurately from outside of the radome. Using full scale drawing 132234, provided in the strain relief kit, measure mark and drill pilot holes from the inside out, and using only light pressure, use the small drill bit, (~1/8” dia) to make a pilot hole through each planned location. 4.4 Use the hole saw from the outside with light pressure.
Procedure, Radome Strain Relief Installation Fig. 5 – Outside view. 4.9 Rotate General Assembly (G.A.) Once cables have been installed, rotate General Assembly (G.A.), to ensure cables are routed properly and do not interfere with azimuth rotation. Fig. 6 – Inside view. 5.0 Records. N/A. 6.0 Training. N/A 7.0 References.
Procedure, Radome Strain Relief Installation 8.0 Strain relief positioning for 80-180 cm (34-66 in) smooth based radomes, (May use Sea Tel drawing 132234 as template.
Procedure, Radome Strain Relief Installation 9.0 Strain relief positioning for 193 cm (76-inch) radomes. (May use Sea Tel drawing 132234 as template.
