Introduction 3.3 Overview of FleetBroadband 3.3.1 BGAN Services The Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) is a global Satellite Internet Network using portable terminals. The terminals are usually connected to a laptop computer to access broadband Internet in remote locations, where a line-of-sight to the satellite exists. The user can make phone calls, access the Internet, check e-mail, download files, or perform any other Internet activity using the terminals.
FB250 - Marine Satellite Communication System Chapter 4. Planning Installation The antenna installation requires precaution and safety measures. Failure to follow the correct installation process may lead to injury of the installer and/or cause damage to the system. In order to maximize the performance of the system, a thorough review of this installation guide is strongly recommended, as well as executing the installation process as it is noted in this manual. 4.
Planning Installation 4.1.2 RF Hazard Precautions The antenna is designed to be used with radiation transmitting equipment manufactured by others. Exposure to RF radiation, including exposure associated with improper use of the transmitting equipment, may be hazardous to people who work close to the Above Deck Unit. Ensure the safety of personnel who work with in the system. During transmission, ensure to keep the minimum safety distance.
FB250 - Marine Satellite Communication System 4.2 System Package 4.2.1 Above Deck Unit (ADU) / Antenna Unit The Above Deck Unit (ADU) of F4-A250-S consists of a medium-size maritime 2-axis stabilized BGAN antenna, active RF switch, BRM, and GNSS circuit. The antenna unit is protected from a severe marine environment by a radome. The ADU and BDU are connected by a single coaxial cable which delivers RF signals and DC power. Figure 3: Above Deck Unit (ADU) / Antenna Unit 4.2.
Planning Installation 4.2.3 Packing List Before beginning installation, make sure you have all the included components. The ADU Package & BDU Package are provided in one box. NOTE: The SIM card is provided by the service provider and may be packaged separately.
FB250 - Marine Satellite Communication System Antenna Pole Mount Kit (Optional) The Antenna Pole Mount Kit can be purchased separately. When this kit is supplied, it is provided in a separate box.
Planning Installation 4.3.2 DC Power Cable You can supply DC power to the BDU in the following methods depending on the power supply available in the vessel. Intellian provides a DC Power Cable, an AC-DC Adapter (optional), and a Terminal Block for the power connections. 1. Connecting to Battery (default): Using the DC power cable (1 m), supply the DC power to the BDU from the battery. The power cable is installed with the Molex connector (P/No. 1716920204, Max. AWG 12). Use 1~2 m (3.28~6.

Planning Installation 2. Take out the ADU package including an Antenna Mounting Template, an ADU Bolt Kit, an RF Cable, and an ADU Unit.
FB250 - Marine Satellite Communication System Chapter 5. Installing ADU 5.1 Antenna Dimensions Confirm the height and diameter of the antenna unit shown in the following figure before installing it. 294 (11.57) Unit: mm (inch) BOW Ø250 (9.84) Ø291 (11.
Installing ADU 5.2 ADU Mounting Hole Pattern Use the supplied mounting template when drilling mounting holes on the mast. The hole placement for the antenna must match the mounting hole pattern on the template. The lower radome has an industry-standard mounting hole with four mounting points. This hole pattern is compatible with other companies' mounting holes. Use the mounting holes to secure the antenna to the desired mounting surface.
FB250 - Marine Satellite Communication System 5.3 Mast Designing (Installation Example) The installation mast must be robust enough to prevent flection, vibration, and sway when an external force is exerted on the mast with antenna and radome. Intellian strongly recommends installing the antenna less than 1200mm (47") above the deck. The flange thickness must be at least 8 mm. Refer to the following mast drawing for more details. Mounting Plate Ø220 (8.66) Unit: mm (inch) Bolt Hole Ø175.4 (6.9) 8 (0.
Installing ADU 5.4 Mounting Antenna The lower radome has an industry-standard mounting hole with four mounting points. This hole pattern is compatible with other companies' mounting holes. Use the mounting holes to secure the antenna to the desired mounting surface. Bring the provided Antenna Mounting Template and the ADU Bolt Kit from the ADU package. Create the appropriate hole pattern in the desired mounting surface. 5.4.
FB250 - Marine Satellite Communication System 2. A The position between end of legs of the pole bracket must be aligned with the BOW direction. Place the pole bracket onto the pole tube then tighten them using bolts. Before assembling bolts, apply Loctite #263 to the bolt's threads to ensure the bolts are fastened firmly. x Four Times M6 x 20L Hex. Bolt M6 Spring Washer BOW Use a torque wrench.

Installing ADU 5.5 Connecting RF Cable to Antenna The cable must be routed from the antenna and through various areas of the ship to end up at the Below Deck Unit. When pulling the cables in place, avoid sharp bends, kinking, and excessive force. After placement, seal the deck penetration gland and tie the cable securely in place. The cable bracket must be installed on the mast to fix the relevant cable. The gooseneck must be installed on the side of the mast to protect the relevant cable against water.
