The SurfBeam 2 Pro Portable Terminal can be deployed in just about any desired location. To ensure optimal
performance, all the installer must do is identify a stable deployment location with an unobstructed view of the sky
and properly assemble the unit.
2.1 Site Survey
Conducting a site survey will ensure that the user maximize their opportunity for a successful connection to the
Satellite Network. When determining a location, keep the following in mind:
Clear View of the Sky – The unit needs a clear view of the sky. (Using a dish pointing application for your
smartphone may assist in deploying the terminal; however, such a program is not required.)
Distance from Objects (i.e., buildings, bushes, trees, hills/mountains, etc.) – The placement of the unit should
have a minimum 2-to-1 distance-to-height ratio between it and nearby objects. For example, an object
20ft tall requires a distance of 40ft or greater, 30ft tall requires 60ft, etc.
Ground Cover – The unit needs to be deployed on stable, flat ground; however, using the Tripods legs and level,
a user can adapt the unit to slopes of varying degrees.
Securing the Unit – The unit require the use of ballast (i.e., a 10 lbs. sandbag per Tripod leg) to secure it to the
ground in case of high winds. In the event the 10 lbs. ballast is insufficient to maintain stability,
discontinue use and secure the system by either disassembling and repacking the system or moving the
assemble unit into a sheltered area.
Operating Precautions – The unit needs a maintained 10ft safety perimeter to mitigate potential RF exposure on
uncontrolled general populations.
2.2 Fastening System
The Pro Portable uses two types of devices to fasten adjustment points. It is critical that the user tighten these
fasteners using the following methods.
Lever Fastener These levers are to be hand tightened, using the handle as a
lever to tighten.
NOTE : Lifting up on the lever allows for repositioning the
angle of the lever’s handle (left or right).
Knob Fastener /
Fine Tuning Knob These knobs are to be hand tightened, using a twisting
motion.
NOTE : The Lever Fastener shown below is used on first generation Pro Portables. These units require
additional care when using this fastener (see below).
Lever Fastener
(older models)
These levers are to be hand tightened, using the handle as a
lever to tighten.
NOTE : Even though these levers appear to be cam-locking
levers, they are NOT to be used this way.
