Safety summary
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation,
service and repair of this equipment. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific
warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture and
intended use of the equipment. Thrane & Thrane A/S assumes no liability for the customer's
failure to comply with these requirements.
Microwave radiation hazards
During operation the Above Deck Unit (antenna) in this
system radiates Microwave Power.This radiation may be
hazardous to humans close to the Above Deck Unit. Make
sure to turn off the power to the ADU before removing the
radome and working on the antenna.
Distance to other equipment
Do not move the Above Deck Unit closer to radars than the
minimum safe distance specified in section
Interference from radar, GPS, L-band and other
on page 3-12 – it may cause damage to the Above Deck Unit.
Compass Safe Distance:
SAILOR 600 Viasat Ka and Antenna (ADU): min. 140 cm (IEC 60945).
SAILOR 7016C Antenna Control Unit (ACU): min. 30 cm (IEC 60945).SAILOR 7024A pTRIA
Interface Unit (PIU): min. 40 cm (IEC 60945).
Service
User access to the interior of the ACU or the PIU is not allowed. Only a technician authorized by
Cobham SATCOM may perform service - failure to comply with this rule will void the warranty.
Access to the interior of the Above Deck Unit is allowed. Replacement of certain modules and
general service may only be performed by a technician authorized by Cobham SATCOM.
Grounding, cables and connections
To minimize shock hazard and to protect against lightning, you must connect the equipment
chassis and cabinet to an electrical ground. Ground the ACU and the PIU to the ship. For further
details see Appendix B,
.
Do not extend the cables beyond the lengths specified for the equipment. The cable between
the PIU and Above Deck Unit can be extended if it complies with the specified data concerning
cable losses etc.
Antenna cables for the SAILOR 600 Viasat Ka system are shielded and should not be affected
by magnetic fields. However, try to avoid running cables parallel to high power and AC/RF
wiring as this might cause malfunction of the equipment.
Power supply
SAILOR 7016C Antenna Control Unit: voltage range 100-240 VAC.
The ACU provides power for the Above Deck Unit and the pTRIA Interface Unit.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere
Do not operate the equipment in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any
electrical equipment in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
