SAFARI
TM
System User Guide
Distance to Other Radiation Equipment
The antenna shall not be installed near any VSAT or radar at the minimum distance and
position specified in the later chapter of the user guide. It may cause damage or interference
to the antenna.
Service
User access to the interior of the transceiver is not allowed. Only a qualified personnel
authorized by its manufacturer may perform service. Failure to comply with this rule will result
in the warranty void.
Grounding and Antenna Cables
The transceiver has provided its mechanical stud, which is intended for the grounding wire to
be connected to the hull of ship.
The antenna cable between the transceiver and antenna can be extended with specified
distance as long as it can meet any type of antenna’s characteristic data, which does not
exceed its required attenuation.
The antenna cable is shielded and it should not be affected by any magnetic field. It is
recommended to avoid the cable being installed in parallel with any AC wiring as it may
possibly cause malfunction of the equipment.
Power Supply
The input DC voltage for SAFARI
TM
Transceiver is +12V DC, 8A or 24V DC, 4A.
In case of unavailability DC power line provided, an external AC/DC power supply of
115/230V AC with its output of +24V DC can be used. Please note that the requirements of
the AC/DC power supply should take care of high surge current of 25A at 24V DC for
1ms.
Equipment Ventilation
To ensure adequate cooling of the transceiver, 5-centimeter of unobstructed space must be
maintained around all sides of the unit except the bottom side. The ambient temperature range of
the transceiver is: -25°C to +55°C.
The equipment shall not be operated in the presence of flammable gases or fumes as well as
any explosive atmosphere. Operation of any electrical equipment in such an environment
constitutes a definite safety hazard.
Keep Away from Live Circuits
Operating personnel shall not remove equipment covers. Component replacement and
internal adjustment has to he handled by qualified maintenance personnel. Do not attempt to
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.
