Condensation
In some cases there will be condensation inside the radome.
The gasket in the bottom center of the SAILOR FleetBroadband
antenna ver. A & B is designed to lead any water away from the
radome.
Make sure this draining gasket is not blocked. If the SAILOR 500
FleetBroadband antenna is mounted on a pole, make sure the
pole is hollow inside and open at the bottom, allowing water from
the gasket to escape and providing ventilation for the antenna.
If the SAILOR 500 FleetBroadband antenna is mounted on a flat
surface, use 10 mm spacers (washers) at each bolt so that the
gasket in the center of the antenna bottom is free and water can
escape.
The SAILOR 500 FleetBroadband antenna ver. C is equipped with
a dranage tube which should not be bended, but remain straight
and free of the platform to allow dranage of any condensation.
Vibration
Install the antenna where vibrations are limited to a minimum.
Always use all 4 screws when installing. It is recommended to use
screws delivered with the SAILOR FleetBroadband system or else
screws of A4 quality /stainless steel.
3.4.3 Mounting the antenna
Provide a proper platform to install the antenna, that be in the
mast or at a pole or directly at fly bridge /hull etc., some guidelines
have to be taken into consideration.
For the SAILOR 500 FleetBroadband it is:
•
The antenna weight is approx. 16 kg, for TT-3052A, approx.
19 kg for TT3052B and approx. 23 kg for TT-3052C, so the
installation point have to be able to carry this weight.
• The flange diameter should have a diameter at least 300 mm
(see figure below) for TT-3052A/B and at least 320 mm (see
figure below) for TT-3052C.
•
The antenna is provided all required input /output, through one
(1) interface, which is centred in the bottom of the antenna.
Therefore a center hole for the antenna cable have to be made
(see figure below) in the mounting platform.
• The antenna is fixed to the platform surface by 4 x M10 studs
(part of the delivery). Insert the shortest threaded piece of
the bolt into the antenna (ver. A) base. The antenna (ver. B
& C) is delivered with M10 bolts, which have to be inserted
into the bushing minimum 10 mm 1nd maximum 25 mm). As
there are no heading of the antenna, it is not important how the
configuration of the four holes for the bolts are positioned (see
figure below).
•
The antenna (ver. A & B) is equipped with drainage hole, well
protected versus direct water injection, at the center of the
antenna bottom, and therefore either the hole in the platform
should be able to drain out the water from the antenna or the
antenna have to have a clearance at about 10 mm from the
