Safety summary
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation,
service and repair of this equipment. Failure to comply with these precautions or with
specific 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.
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 3-12 — it may cause damage to the Above Deck
Unit.
Compass Safe Distance:
SAILOR 100 Satellite TV antenna or ADU (Above Deck Unit): min. 100 cm (IEC 945).
SAILOR 100 Satellite TV ACU (Antenna Control Unit): min. 70 cm (IEC 945)
Service
User access to the interior of the ACU is prohibited. Only a technician authorized by Thrane
& Thrane A/S may perform service - failure to comply with this rule will void the warranty.
Access to 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 Thrane & Thrane
A/S.
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 cables for the SAILOR 100 Satellite TV 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 100 Satellite TV is 20 — 32 VDC. Note that the Above Deck
Unit is powered by the ACU.
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.
