6. Installation Considerations and Overview
Considerations
The single most important consideration of the Iridium Pilot Land Station installation is location of the ODU.
It must be located to minimize obstructions that block transmission to and from the satellites and be far
enough away from potential radio interferers that will degrade or jam reception of the Iridium downlink. The
ODU should also be located where anyone does not accidently violate the 1 meter RF Radiation hazard zone.
Mounting location is important to ensure a fully functional unit.
Overview of the Installation Process
1. Conduct a visual survey to identify locations for installation of the product. Place emphasis on avoiding
potential interference (see section 8) and a clear view of the sky, and place ODU transmitter in a manner to
maintain minimum spacing requirement of 1.0 from the antenna to a person.
2. Analyze and rank each of the potential sites.
3. Review User Manual and Installation Guide Warnings.
4. Temporary connection of equipment may be necessary to test and validate the potential ODU location(s).
These tests should be run with all nearby RF generating systems operational.
5. Run the “Site Survey Tool” supplied on the accessory CD with your product. This will help to identify and
quantify interferers with the ODU.
6. Installation of the ODU and IDU
• Install the mast or mounting bracket for the ODU
• Route the ODU/IDU cable and ground metal RJ-45 housing using strap wire/electrical clips
• Connect ODU/IDU cable to ODU
• Mount the ODU
• Connect the ground cable from the ODU to the ground connection
• Mount the IDU
• Remove electrical clips, route ODU/IDU cable to IDU and connect
• Connect the ground cable to the IDU and then connect other end to local ground connection
• Connect power supply to IDU
• Connect phones
• Test the system
