Starting up the terminal
SIM card
Note that the SAILOR 150 FleetBroadband terminal requires a SIM card dedicated to
FleetBroadband. The terminal can only access the BGAN network when the right type of SIM card
is installed. For information on how to insert the SIM card, refer to the installation manual.
Switching on the terminal
Using the Power switch
To switch on
the terminal, use the On/Off switch in the connector panel. It normally takes one or
two seconds for the terminal to switch on.
Using the ignition system
Normally the ignition function is not used in maritime installations. Instead you may want to use
the remote on/off function described in the next section.
If you have connected the ignition system of your vessel to the I/O connector, you may leave the
power switch in the “on” position and the terminal will switch on/off when you start/stop the
engine of your vessel.
When the engine is stopped the terminal is in standby mode. The standby current is max. 15 mA
when the ignition is off. For information on how to connect to the Ignition pins in the I/O
connector, refer to the installation manual for the SAILOR 150 FleetBroadband system.
You must set up the ignition function in the web interface. For further information, see
Using a remote on/off switch
If an external switch is connected to the remote on/off pins in the DC connector, you may leave the
power switch in the connector panel in the “on” position and use the remote switch to turn the
terminal on and off. When the remote switch is off, the terminal is off. However, if you leave the
power switch on the terminal in the “on” position, you can always switch the terminal back on
with the remote switch. The standby current when the remote switch is off is max. 2 mA. For
further information on the remote on/off function, refer to the installation manual for the
SAILOR 150 FleetBroadband system.
