2.8 Mounting the antenna unit
The antenna unit has to be mounted on a solid and steady base parallel to the water surface. Take care
that the cable lengths are sufficient, the antenna unit must have an unobstructed view to the satellite
and there must be no interference fields (especially mobile communication antennas) nearby.
Place the antenna unit on the pre-drilled holes and fasten it with the included screws and washers. The
screws have to be screwed in from below through the mounting surface into the radome.
► Close all drillings with waterproof sealing material to avoid any water penetrating!
2.9 System cable connections
► Break the contact of the circuit on which you are working to avoid short circuit the system.
●
The antenna cables (Power, RX and TX) must be connected to the ACU and the antenna unit.
●
The ACU has to be connected to 230VAC 50/60Hz
●
The users network is connected to the frontside or backside LAN connector of the ACU
See system overview and illustration details.
Lead the cable through the drilled holes and seal it with waterproof sealing material. Furthermore, drip
loops should precede the entry point from the exterior to avoid any water penetrating, see below
illustration:
Find a suitable location for all units within cable lengths. Take care that the display of the ACU can be
easily read and the push-buttons are accessible. And also, allow room for the cables behind the ACU!
The antenna unit is separated from the power supply net by the ACU. Therefore, the antenna unit has
electric power when the ACU is turned on!
