Installation
The following information covers the installation and set-up of the MissionLINK BAA and TU.
To complete the installation, you need the appropriate fasteners, tools, and mounts.
NOTE
Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask
when drilling, cutting, or sanding. When drilling or cutting,
always check first to see what is on the other side of surface. If
you experience difficulty with the installation, contact your
Service Provider or seek the assistance of a professional
installer.
Keys to successful installation of the MissionLINK Antenna:

Mount where antenna is at least the minimum safety distance away from personnel
(1.0m for Certus 350 and 0.5m for Certus 200).

Mount antenna with unobstructed full view of the sky. Any blockage to part of the sky
by metal objects could result in loss of connection and/or poor data speeds.

Mount the antenna level on a flat surface.

Make sure magnetic mounts are secure and tight on the antenna prior to installation.

Keep antenna away from large metallic objects in the field of view when possible to
increase performance. Metal surfaces below the antenna are fine (example: the
vehicle’s roof.)

Mount as far away from other antennas (HF, VHF, UHF, Inmarsat L-Band antennas) as
possible to avoid interference.

Use a Thales approved RF cable designed for MissionLINK. Do not alter the provided
cable prior to installation. It is recommended to weather seal the connection at the
antenna on permanent installations to prevent corrosion and water intrusion.

Mounting should be in an area that minimizes vehicle vibration
There are multiple mounting methods for the Antenna. Each of these is described below for the
Certus 350 and Certus 200 antennas.
