Service
User access to the interior of the terminal is not allowed. Only qualified personnel authorized by the
manufacturer may perform service. Failure to comply with this will result in the warranty being void.
Grounding and Antenna Cables
The terminal has a grounding stud to ground the terminal to the hull of the ship by using a ground cable.
The antenna cables are shielded and they should not be affected by any magnetic field. It is recommended
to avoid the cables being installed in parallel with any AC wiring as it may possibly cause malfunction of the
equipment.
Ship’s Power Supply
The Thuraya MNB-01 (including to the Terminal and the Active Antenna) standby power is only less than 10 W,
and the standard operation average power consumption is only 16 W. When low signal strength, burst power
may beyond 20 W. For the steady operation, the input voltage for MNB-01 System needs a 36 W power supply
(may be 12 V DC@3 A or 24 V [email protected] A). It is recommended to use a 24 V DC power line, if available on the ship.
In case of unavailability of a 12 V or 24 V DC power line on the ship, on external AC/DC power supply (110/220 V
AC to 24 V DC @ Min 1.5 A) can be used, please contact the vendor when you need it.
Equipment Ventilation
To ensure adequate cooling of the terminal, 5 cm of unobstructed space must be maintained around all sides of
the unit except the bottom side. The ambient temperature range of the below decks terminal is: -15 °C to + 55 °C.
The equipment should not be operated in the presence of flammable gases or fumes as well as any explosive
atmosphere. Operation of any electrical equipment in such an environment constitutes a safety hazard.
