2.4 Mounting surface
A horizontal, solid and steady surface is very important. Make sure that the surface does not have any
irregularities! Furthermore, please take into consideration that the weight of the antenna unit is 56 kg
or more. Therefore, the surface has to be strong enough to carry the antenna unit, even during the most
challenging maritime conditions.
2.5 Planning the cable paths
Before starting the installation, you should check which walls are suitable and if existing openings can
be used for the cables.
► All openings have to be sealed in order to avoid any water penetrating.
2.6 Power supply
The antenna unit is powered by the ACU using 24 V DC. The ACU is powered by a built in power
supply, which is working on 230V AC. Max. power consumption is 150W. The circuit has to be fused
properly.
► The power distributor must be idle while working on the ship’s supply net or you may short
circuit the system.
If the chassis of the antenna unit has no connection to the boat's ground, make sure a potential
compensation between boat ground and the ground point of the antenna unit is made.
2.7 Drillings
To avoid any damage to the mounting surface it is recommended that you start out with drilling a
smaller hole, using a 3.5-4 mm bit before drilling the correct hole size. Use an 8.5-9 mm bit to drill 4
mounting holes for the M8 screws included. To drill the holes in the correct positions, please refer to
the included template.
