Series 12 Ku-Band System Configuration(s) 1. 6012-33 Installation Manual Series 12 Ku-Band System Configuration(s) The Series 12 Ku-Band Stabilized Antenna system is to be used for Transmit/Receive (TX/RX) satellite communications. It is comprised of two major groups of equipment: the Above Decks Equipment (ADE) and the Below Decks Equipment (BDE). There will also be interconnecting cables between the ADE & BDE and cables to provide other inputs to the system.
6012-33 Installation Manual 1.4. Series 12 Ku-Band System Configuration(s) Dual Antenna Configuration Due to very large blockage conditions, you may need to install a dual antenna configuration to provide uninterrupted services. Two full antenna systems are installed and the MXP control outputs are connected to an arbitrator switch panel which then is connected to the below decks equipment. The connection scheme is required for MXP “A” to control ONLY Antenna “A” AND MXP “B” to control ONLY Antenna “B.
Series 12 Ku-Band System Configuration(s) 1.5. 6012-33 Installation Manual Open Antenna-Modem Interface Protocol (OpenAMIP™) Specification: 1.5.1. Overview: OpenAMIPTM, an ASCII message based protocol invented and Trademarked by iDirect, is a specification for the interchange of information between an antenna controller and a satellite modem.
6012-33 Installation Manual Series 12 Ku-Band System Configuration(s) Utilized OpenAMIPTM Commands: 1.5.3. 1.5.3.1.
Site Survey 2. 6012-33 Installation Manual Site Survey There are three objective of the site survey. The first is to find the best place to mount the antenna and the BDE. The second is to identify the length and routing of the cables and any other items or materials that are required to install the system. The third is to identify any other issues that must be resolved before or during the installation. 2.1.
6012-33 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 6012-33 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.
6012-33 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 and adapted for mounting the ever-increasing array of antennae which ships need to communicate with the world. This drawing of a vertical mast shows the preferred mounting of the ADE center-line above the plane of the radar.
Site Survey 6012-33 Installation Manual 2.5.4. Truss Mast Truss masts are a variant on the girder mast concept. Rather than a pair of columns supporting a girder beam, the construction is a framework of tubular members supporting a platform on which the antennae and other equipment are mounted. A typical truss mast is shown in this photograph. Like a girder mast, truss masts are especially stiff in the athwart ship direction.
6012-33 Installation Manual 2.8.1. Site Survey ADE/BDE Coaxial Cables The first concern with the coaxial cables installed between the ADE & BDE is length. This length is used to determine the loss of the various possible coax, Heliax or fiber-optic cables that might be used. You should always provide the lowest loss cables to provide the strongest signal level into the satellite modem.
Site Survey 2.9. 6012-33 Installation Manual Grounding All metal parts of the ADE shall be grounded to bare metal that is common to the hull of the ship. This is most commonly accomplished by attaching a ground wire/cable from the upper base plate ground point to a ground stud on the mounting pedestal/stanchion/mast near the base of the radome. Preservation of the bare metal contact point should be done to prevent loss of ground due to rust and/or corrosion.

Remove the shipping hold-down bolts which mount the ADE to its’ pallet. 2. Install four lifting eye bolts, provided in the radome installation kit, in holes around the perimeter of the baseframe. 3.
Installation 6012-33 Installation Manual 1. Connect the ground wire (of adequate gauge for the length) to a burnished ground point on, or near, the mounting surface. This burnished grounding point must be electrically common with the hull. Bi-metal coupling plate may be required to get good electrical coupling to the hull of the ship. Protective coating should be applied to prevent the grounding point, and ground wire, from rusting or corroding.
6012-33 Installation Manual 3. 4. Installation Install the pin bolt into the STOW hole and tighten. This assures that it does not get lost and will be ready for re-use if the antenna needs to be stowed again at a later date. Verify that the antenna is able to rotate freely in azimuth. 3.5.2. 1. 2.
Installation 6012-33 Installation Manual 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. To un-restrain the elevation axis of the antenna, unthread the two hex nuts.

Setup – Ship’s Gyro Compass 6. 6012-33 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). 6.1.
6012-33 Installation Manual 4. 6.2. 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.

Stowing the Antenna 17. 6012-33 Installation Manual Stowing the Antenna This antenna must be properly stowed if the ship will be underway while AC power to the Above Decks Equipment (ADE) is deenergized. Failure to do so may void your warranty. CAUTION: There are three stow restraints that MUST be installed on this antenna pedestal if the ship will be underway while the Above Decks Equipment is de-energized.
6012-33 Installation Manual 17.1.2. 1. 2. Stowing the Antenna Installing the EL Shipping/Stow Restraint The EL shipping/stow restraint is formed by a stow pin-bolt mounted through a bracket and is engaged into a hole/slot in the elevation driven sprocket when the dish is at zenith (90 degrees elevation). In the un-stowed position the hardware from left to right is the stow pin-bolt head, hex nut, washer, bracket, washer, hex nut.
Stowing the Antenna 6012-33 Installation Manual 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Remove the washer from the stow pin-bolt and unthread the hex nut from the bolt. Put one of the washers onto the stow pin-bolt and insert it into the bracket toward the elevation driven sprocket. Put the other washer, and then thread the two hex nuts onto the bolt. Tighten the hex nuts to prevent the hardware from loosening while in the stowed configuration. Verify that the antenna does not rotate in elevation.

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.
