Chapter 2: To install the system
98-169085-B To place the terminal 6
To place the terminal
Location
For best performance, mount the terminal in the center of the vehicle roof and with free line of
sight in all directions (no blocking objects).
Obstructions
Obstructions can cause signal degradation. We recommend to avoid any blocking objects on
the vehicle roof that may obstruct the satellite signal from/to the EXPLORER 323.
Radiation hazard
The EXPLORER 323 antenna radiates 10 dBW EIRP. This translates to a minimum safety
distance of 70 cm from the terminal while it is transmitting, based on a radiation level of
10 mW/cm
2
. Note that the safety distance applies to a hemisphere above the terminal. The
terminal does not radiate power directly below the terminal.
Interference
Do not place the terminal close to interfering signal sources or receivers. We recommend that
other antennas, such as LTE or VHF antennas, are located as far as possible from the terminal. If
other equipment is installed near the EXPLORER 323 we recommend that you test the total
system by operating all equipment simultaneously and verifying that there is no interference.
The terminal has a built-in LTE blocker resilience function. You can disable and enable the
function using an AT command (_ILTEBLCK). See _ILTEBLCK on page 119.
To install the terminal
Note
Specifications are based on the EXPLORER 323 mounted with 10 mm spacers on a
1x1 m aluminum ground plane. Other types of installation may result in different
performance.
CAUTION! Before installing this product, please contact the vehicle
manufacturer to ensure that the vehicle is in compliance with UNECE
Regulation 10, clause 3.1.8, and to confirm details about the mounting, cabling
and location.
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure a safe installation!
