warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture and

intended use of the equipment. Thrane & Thrane A/S assumes no liability for the customer's

failure to comply with these requirements.

Microwave radiation hazards

During transmission the Above Deck Unit (antenna) in this

system radiates Microwave Power.This radiation may be

hazardous to humans close to the Above Deck Unit. During

transmission, make sure that nobody gets closer than the

recommended minimum safety distance.

The minimum safety distance to the Above Deck Unit

reflector on the focal line is 30 m, based on a radiation level

of 10 W/m2. No hazard exists >25° below the Above Deck Unit’s mounting plane. Refer to the

drawing below.

No-transmit zones

In order to protect personnel no-transmit zones can be programmed. For further information

see Blocking zones – azimuth and elevation on page 3-5.

Distance to other equipment

Do not move the Above Deck Unit closer to radars than the minimum safe distance specified in

section Interference on page 3-13 — it may cause damage to the Above Deck Unit.

Compass Safe Distance:

SAILOR 900 VSAT antenna or ADU (Above Deck Unit): min. 170 cm (IEC 60945).

SAILOR 900 VSAT ACU (Antenna Control Unit): min. 10 cm (IEC 60945)

the interior of the Above Deck Unit is allowed. Replacement of certain modules and general

service may only be performed by a technician authorized by Cobham SATCOM.

Grounding, cables and connections

To minimize shock hazard and to protect against lightning, the equipment chassis and cabinet

must be connected to an electrical ground. The ACU must be grounded to the ship. For further

grounding information refer to the Installation manual.

Do not extend the cables beyond the lengths specified for the equipment. The cable between

the ACU and Above Deck Unit can be extended if it complies with the specified data

concerning cable losses etc.

Rx and Tx cables for the SAILOR 900 VSAT system are shielded and should not be affected by

magnetic fields. However, try to avoid running cables parallel to high power and AC/RF wiring as

it might cause malfunction of the equipment.

Power supply

The voltage range for the SAILOR 900 VSAT is 20 – 32 VDC. Note that the Above Deck Unit is

If a 24 VDC power bus is not available, an external 115/230 VAC to 28 VDC power supply can

be used, for example a SAILOR 6080 Power Supply.

Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere

Do not operate the equipment in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any

electrical equipment in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.

Keep away from live circuits

Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers. Component replacement and internal

adjustment must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Do not replace components

with the power cable connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even

with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and discharge

circuits before touching them.

Failure to comply with the rules above will void the warranty!
