Mounting the antenna
Overview
The radome can now be installed on the ship with 4 stainless steel bolts fastened to the hull or to
a mast.
For information on mast mounting, see
Antenna mast design
on page 9.
Mounting the antenna on the hull
Make sure the antenna has line of sight to the satellites. When the antenna is mounted directly on
the hull, it may be difficult to obtain line of sight, especially down to -60°, which is the maximum
rotation angle (pitch and roll) for the SAILOR 150 FleetBroadband antenna.
Use M6 bolts for mounting the antenna.
The bolt thread must not penetrate more than 12 mm (or 8 turns of the bolt) - and not less than 6
mm (or 4 turns of the bolt)- into the threaded part of the bushes in the radome. Fasten the bolts
with 7-8 Nm torque.
The only electrical connector is a single TNC-connector in the bottom of the radome.
