2 Safety Recommendations & Precautions
2.1 Microwave radiation hazard
F
igure 2.1: Microwave radiation safety distance
Ensure that all personnel stay outside of the safety distance during antenna operation.
During operation the antenna uses high-powered BUCs in order to establish a two-way
communication with the satellite. The resulting radiation is hazardous. Note the following points for
your safety.
•
Make sure the minimum safety distance of 30m as specified at the ODU is kept when the antenna is
transmitting.
•
Our antenna detects if there is a blockage in its transmission path and stops transmission
immediately. However, avoid standing directly in front of the the ADU while it is transmitting.
2.2 Radar interference
•
The antenna must be mounted as far away as possible from the ship’s radar and high power radio
transmitters as they can affect the antenna performance. To avoid the worst interference, the antenna
should be mounted at a different vertical level – either 15° above or 15° below the radar. Kindly note
the recommended minimum distances between the ODU and X-band/S-Band radars in the table
4.2.3.
•
After the installation is completed all other electronic systems, i.e. GPS, Radar, VHF, FM, AM etc.,
should be tested for full functionality while the antenna is switched on.
2.3 Exposure to rain / moisture
•
Do not open sealed electronic components on the ODU and the ACU. Doing that will void the
warranty of the equipment.
•
The ACU and the satellite modem must always be kept indoors. Exposure to rain, sunlight or moisture
may damage the equipment.
2.4 Necessity of grounding the equipment
Grounding of the equipment is necessary to avoid potential differences between the ship’s ground potential
and the equipment’s. The antenna’s ground connection shall be connected directly to the ship’s ground to
avoid undesired current flow.
