Installation of Antenna System IBIZA 4G AIS
The antenna system IBIZA 4G AIS consists of the antennas DELTA 163S, DELTA 4G and DELTA
32M, which are mounted together building a unity.
Antenna position:
The antenna system IBIZA 4G AIS should be mounted at the mast-head. No other antennas should be
mounted above the antenna system.
Antenna cable:
For the antenna system IBIZA 4G AIS coaxial cables with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohm are
used, preferably Aircell-7 or Belden H2000 Flex. An N-plug is used to connect the DELTA 32 M, and a
BNC plug is used to connect the DELTA 163S + DELTA 4G.
Important: Keep the plug strain-
relieved!
Optional disconnecting points at the mast-heel are established with BNC- and N-connectors
to avoid mix-up.
ATTENTION! UHF-connectors (PL-connectors) may NOT be used for the
disconnecting points!
Keep the antenna cable to the distribution boxes AV 32 and AV 304 as short
as possible.
Check the antenna cables for short circuit before connecting them!
Assembling the antennas:
Connect the plug on top of the DELTA 4G to the DELTA 163S and put together these two antennas.
Pull the antenna cable with BNC-plug through the tube of the antenna holder AH 12 and through the
hole of the DELTA 32 M, and connect it to the DELTA 4G. Pull the antenna cable with N-plug through
the hole of the antenna holder AH 12 and connect it to the DELTA 32 M. Finally put together the
antennas and screw them to the antenna holder.
Important: All metal parts of the antennas as well as the connectors must not have electrical
contact to other metal parts of the ship because the shield of the cable is connected to the
negative element of the power supply.
Install the distribution boxes AV 32 and AV 304 below deck near the instruments connected.
Installation of the distribution box AV 304:
Mount the distribution box AV 304 in a way that the connectors are on the
left
side. Then the terminal
„GSM/UMTS/LTE“ is at the upper position, the terminal „DELTA 4G“ is in the middle and the terminal
„AV 205 Input 6“ is in the lower position. Connect the mobile telephone or GSM/UMTS/LTE router or
GSM/UMTS/LTE modem to the AV 304 terminal „GSM/UMTS/LTE“ using a short cable. Connect the
antenna cable to the AV 304 terminal „DELTA 4G“. Connect AV 304 terminal „VHF“ to the VHF radio.
Installation of the AV 32:
Connect the antenna cable to the AV 32 terminal „Input: DELTA 32 M“. Connect the AIS-Receiver to
terminal „OUTPUT: AIS / DSC“, using a coaxial cable of 50 Ohm characteristic impedance with a BNC
connector. Use F connectors and coaxial cable of 75 Ohm characteristic impedance to connect the FM
radio and the TV.
Power supply:
Important: Do not switch on the power supply before the installation is completed!
Use a switch or cutout of the switch board for the power supply to switch off the antenna system when
none of the receivers connected is in use. Connect the brown lead at the AV 32 power supply cable to
the positive terminal of the 12 V or 24 V power supply, connect the blue lead to the negative terminal
of the power supply.
The power supply to the antenna system need not be switched on for the operation of the VHF
marine telephone, AIS-Receiver or mobile telephone.
The antenna cables may
NEVER be mixed up - otherwise the antenna DELTA 32 M and / or the
distribution box AV 32 will be destroyed!
To guarantee a perfect working antenna it is mandatory to do the installation in a
workman-like manner.
