IDP 800 Terminal Series - Hardware Guide
© SkyWave Proprietary 41 T209, Version 01
Mount the terminal on a surface that does not get hotter than the maximum operating
temperature. If the surface may get hotter, mount the terminal with a thermal barrier
between it and the mounting surface.
CAUTION
Mount the terminal with
integrated antenna at least
20 cm away from humans.
Do not mount the terminal close to other electrical equipment due to possible radiated
and/or conducted electromagnetic interference.
Do not mount the terminal close to radar or other communications antennas. Use the
following guidelines:
> 1 m from VHF/UHF antenna
> 3 m from loop antenna
> 4 m from MF/HF antenna
> 5 m from other satellite antennas
Not within a radar beam
Do not mount the terminal where water may build-up or collect. Choose a location
where water moves away from the terminal.
Ensure that any paint above the terminal is non-metallic and non-metallic flake, if the
installation is under fiberglass or composite wind fairings.
Check that the terminal's cable reaches the power source before you drill any
mounting holes.
Do not mount the terminal close to an exhaust pipe due to the excessive heat and the
potential for the exhaust pipe causing satellite blockage.
Do not mount the terminal close to air horns or any tractor roof hardware
(e.g., emergency lights) that could interfere with satellite communications.
Mount the terminal on the driver's side of the vehicle, if possible, when there is a
possibility of strikes by overhanging tree branches.
Do not install the terminal inside the truck under the roof liner.
Ensure that vehicle where the terminal is installed provides protection against
overcurrent for the terminal's interconnecting cables.
4.3.1 Remote Antenna Mounting Guidelines (Optional)
This section is only required if you are using a remote antenna.
CAUTION
The DMR-800/SureLinx antenna is not electrically compatible
with the IDP-800. Both the antenna and the SureLinx or IDP
modem can be damaged if connected to the incorrect antenna.
CAUTION
Mount the remote antenna
at least 20 cm
away from humans.
CAUTION
Cable management and connector strain relief must be
incorporated in the installation. SkyWave highly recommends
securing the cable at regular intervals along its length as part of
