Placing the AntennaAvoiding obstructions For GMDSS installations

If the installation shall comply with GMDSS in accordance with the interna-tional standard IEC 61097-10, please note as follows:It is desirable that the antenna be sited in such a position that no obstaclelikely to significantly degrade the performance of the equipment appears inany azimuth down to an elevation angle of -5 degrees.The siting of the antenna needs careful consideration, taking into accountthe adverse effect of high levels of vibration which may be introduced bythe use of a tall mast and the need to minimise shadow sectors. Objects,especially those within 10 m of the radome which cause a shadow sector ofmore than 6 degrees, are likely to significantly degrade the performance ofthe equipment.

For non-GMDSS installationsThe antenna has a beamwidth of 10 degrees and ideally requires a freeline of sight in all directions above an elevation angle of +5 degrees.Any obstruction will cause blind sectors, resulting in signal degradation oreven loss of communication with the satellite.Degradation of the satellite signal can only be completely avoided by plac-ing the antenna higher than any obstructions. This is often not feasible anda compromise must be made to reduce the number of blind sectors andcost of installation.The degree of signal degradation depends on the size of the obstructions;the distance to them must therefore be considered.Preferably, all obstructions within 3 m of the antenna should be avoided.Obstructions less than 15 cm in diameter can be ignored beyond thisdistance.

Radiation precautions Passengers should not be admitted in areas closer than 5 m from theantenna.However, no restrictions are required when the antenna radome is installedat least 2 m above the highest point accessible to passengers.Authorized personnel should not be near the antenna for periods of morethan 1 hour per day without switching off the RF transmitter.


Saturn Bm PLANNING

Avoiding interference Do not locate the antenna close to interfering signal sources, or in such aposition that the source (e.g. radar-antenna) radiates directly into the Sat-urn antenna.

The Above Decks Equipment (ADE) should be separated as far as possiblefrom other transmitters, and preferably by at least 5 m from the antenna ofother communication or navigation equipment, such as the antenna of thesatellite navigator, the VHF antenna or radar equipment.

Compass safe distance For installation on British or Norwegian vessels, the antenna should belocated at a distance of at least 1.0 metres from the magnetic steeringcompass. Be aware that requirements may vary from one country toanother.

Other precautions Do not place the antenna close to the funnel, as smoke deposits will theneventually degrade antenna performance.Regardless of the location chosen for the antenna, it should point forwardin parallel with the ships longitudinal axis when in the middle of its azimuthrange, which will correspond to zero degrees on the azimuth indicator. Theforward direction is indicated on the antenna radome with a heading markThe antenna should be installed so that severe vibration and shockare avoided.If installed on top of a signal and radar mast, the mast must besupported by stays.The coaxial cable runs out from the antenna foot in the direction ofthe heading mark.

Antenna Unit mounted on mast

Designing the Antenna mastThe mast must be designed to carry the weight of the antenna unit, approxi-mately 90 kg. It must be able to withstand wind forces of up to 120 knots onthe radome as well as the onboard vibration levels. The radome is 1.445 mhigh and has a maximum diameter of 1.42 m.The top end of the mast should be fitted with a flange with holes matching thebolts extending from the bottom of the radome. See figure below. The flangemust not be so large as to interfere with the hatch at the bottom of the an-tenna unit. The holes through the mast flange must be positioned symmetri-cally about the ships longitudinal axis.A HEADING mark on the radome indicates the forward direction of theantenna.

NOTE: If necessary to disalign heading mark, (because of hatch accessibility),the antenna inside the radome has to be aligned towards ship's heading. Thismust be done before fixed to the antenna mast. (Pedestal coax outlet = Ped-estal heading mark. (See Installation: "Connecting up Above Decks Equip-ment").NOTE: On ships with excessive vibration the mast must be supported by staysor other adequate means.

If the height of the mast makes it neces-sary to climb up to the antenna unit, aladder must be provided on the mastcolumn. A guard rail must be attached tothe upper section for safety purposes. If theheight of the mast exceeds approximately4.5 metres, an access platform should beattached to the mast approximately 1 metrebelow the radome bottom.Be aware that requirements may vary fromone country to another.

PLANNING


Saturn Bm

A successful installation of a maritime satellite terminal must take intoaccount the noisy environment in which the equipment shall operate.

Electrical noise The electrical environment on board a ship is usually quite noisy. Power-ful electrical installations cause voltage variations and transients, as wellas low and high frequency noise. Radio and radar equipment radiateradio frequency signals which frequently impregnate cables on boardwith unwanted interference.

Ground plane Most ships have a steel hull. One should think that the steel constructionof the ship would constitute a good ground plane. This is often not quitetrue. Rust, other forms of corrosion, paint and grease, often prevent agood ground connection. A consequence of this is that high energypower distribution on board a ship can cause significant ground potentialdifferences.

Antenna unit Adequate grounding of the Antenna Unit depends on the fastening boltsmaking good contact with the top flange of the mast. This is obtained byremoving paint and using enclosed toothed washers and nuts.

Antenna cable The antenna coaxial cable normally has a solid or meshed metal screenwhich must be terminated to ground both at the antenna pedestal and atthe MCU. The length of the cable can often be more than 40 metres. Ifthe ground potential level at the two points differ, the current passingthrough the screen of the coaxial cable can be quite strong. The antennacable screen constitutes a heavy gauge wire, which is capable of con-ducting large amounts of current.If the ground lead from the MCU to the ships ground is of lighter gauge,the MCU will be raised to a different ground potential.Nera recommends that the antenna cable screen be clamped to groundat the ships deck in such a way that the screen passes through thegrounded clamp before the coaxial cable is terminated locally. This willconfine any noise current caused by potential difference to the cablescreen. This method is far superior to grounding the shield using pig tailground jumpers. This principle of using shielded cables where the shieldsare clamped to ground should be employed as far as possible to allcables connected to the Saturn satellite terminal.

Below Decks Equipment The MCU must be provided with a good electrical connection to theships hull for grounding. This is obtained by using Termination BoxQUFC 911 948 as a common grounding point for MCU, external PowerSupply and Antenna Cable. (See Installation: "Location and groundingof units: Example 1, Example 2 and Example 3".) Length of copperfoil/3 cm should not exceed 30 cm. Length of copper foil/10 cm shouldnot exceed 300 cm. The foil/10 cm should be connected to ship's hull(deck or roof) by hard-soldering (or screws) to steel.

Mains power/ground Mains ground is secured to the common grounding point through theexternal Power Supply. It is therefore important to use the same mainsbranch for additional equipment connected to the MCU (Fax, PC, Printeretc.).

Laying cablesGeneral

At the Antenna Unit

At the Main Control Unit

Distress Alarm Unit/Message Indicator Unit

Telephone and/or telefax

At the gyro

The coaxial cable for connection between the MCU and the Antenna Unitshould, if possible, be laid before the equipment arrives. Make sure sufficientlength of cable is ordered.Where exposed to mechanical wear (on deck, through bulkheads etc.), thecable should be protected by steel pipes. Standard procedures should other-wise be followed for cabling in ship installations.Special attention to existing safety regulations is required if the cable passesthrough zones where there may be flammable or explosive gases. Use suit-able gasproof cable glands or bushings.Double screen 50 coaxial cable must be used. The maximum length of thecoaxial cable is limited by the DC and RF loss through the cable:

Maximum DC loss: R loop 0.6 ohmMaximum RF attenuation at 1525-1660 MHz: < 10 dB

The table below lists suitable double screened coaxial cables between MCU and ADE:

A free end of approximately 1.5 m of the antenna cable above the radomebottom should be provided for connection to the coaxial connector in accord-ance with the installation instructions in "Connecting up Above DecksEquipment".The coaxial cable from the Antenna Unit should be given a free end ofapproximately 0.5 m at the Termination Box location.The prepared Distress Alarm / Message Indicator cable (2 m) with plug canbe connected directly to a locally installed unit, or to the Termination Box forremote installation of unit(s). Provide remote cable with free ends of 0.5 m atboth ends.Choose the position for the required wall sockets and lay the cables leaving afree end of 0.5 m. Also allow a free end of 0.5 m at the Termination Box.The gyro cable is terminated at the Termination Box. Allow a free end of0.5 m. The amount of free cable required at the gyro depends on type to beinstalled.

NMEA-0183 input sources (complies with IEC 61162-1)The NMEA 0183 input is a 4 15 V current loop interface located on therear panel of the MCU.Data input format:

Baud rate 4800Data bits 8 (D7=0), parity noneStop bit 1

The Navigator input on pins 5 & 6 recognizes the following sentences:Position: Speed: Course:RMC RMC RMCGGA VTG VTGGLL HDT

HDG

The Heading input on pins 1 & 2 recognizes the following sentences:HDT and HDG

The HDT syntax is: $HDT,xxx.x,T*hh where $-- = start of sentence and Talker ID

xxx.x = heading in degreesT = truehh = check sum (can be omitted) = carriage return & line feed

Note! The distance between the MCU andthe NMEA source should not exceed 15 m.

Reception of L-band Broadcast signalsIn addition to regular 1.5/1.6 GHz, used for the various Inmarsat systems, thetransponders in the satellite also broadcast leased channel info.The design of Saturn B with L-band (1.5/1.6 GHz) signals between ADE andBDE, easily enable insertion of Directional Couplers to pick up broadcast RFsignals.Such signals are Differential GPS (GPS corrections), Maritime Chart Correc-tions, Radio Broadcasting channels, etc.The diagram below indicates typical installation for reception of broadcastsignals.

APPENDIX 9

Activation of "Radio Silence"A Radio Silence function may be activated in the Saturn B terminal if theMCU is provided with SW version 4.0 and above.The function may be opened from the Display Handset through Function 78,which is accessible when in Service level (see Saturn Bm Technical Manual).Radio Silence is specially applicable onboard warships on which, at certainperiods, it is required that NO radiation shall take place.The "Radio Silence" function will not affect the satellite tracking function.In addition to opening the Radio Silence function an external switch must beinstalled wired to pin no.1 and 2 of the AUX connector on the MCU.This switch shall have 2 positions (OPEN or CLOSED).Pin 7 and 8 of the AUX connector may be used for external indication of"Radio Silence".See below.

Radio Silence Mode When the MCU is opened for Radio Silence,and the switch is CLOSED(connection between pin no.1 and 2 of theAUX. port) the equipment is inhibited tosend, even Distress. The equipment may,however, receive simplex broadcastmessages.Shortly after the switch isCLOSED, an internal relaywill start to turn the "RadioSilence" indicator ON andOFF for a few secondsfollowed by steady ON(relay closed), until the the"Radio Silence" switchagain is opened.

Normal Operation ModeWhen the MCU is openedfor Radio Silence func-tion with the switch OPEN,(no contact between pin 1and 2) Saturn Bm oper-ates as normal.
