Magnetic Mount Solution
Under normal driving circumstances the magnetic force of the Magnetic Mount Solution for the
terminal should be sufficient to hold the terminal. However, the magnets may not be able to hold
the terminal in place, if:
the vehicle is involved in an accident or similar extreme conditions,
the magnets are not mounted properly,
the roof is not level or made of a material that will not stick properly to the magnets,
the speed of the vehicle is too high
We recommend mounting the terminal directly on the roof instead of using the Magnetic Mount
Solution. Make sure that all mounting bolts and nuts are secured properly, and that the material of
the mounting surface is strong enough to hold the terminal during the intended use.
Service
User access to the interior of the system units is prohibited. Only a technician authorized by
Cobham SATCOM may perform service - failure to comply with this rule will void the warranty.
Power supply
The voltage range is 12 - 24 V DC (-10% +30%).
Be aware of high start-up peak current: 20A at V
in
12V (Steady-State after 3 sec.) and
40A at V
in
24V (Steady-State after 3 sec.).
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. 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
you touch them.
Failure to comply with the rules above will void the warranty!
WARNING! Do not place your fingers underneath the terminal when placing the
terminal on the vehicle! The magnetic force is very powerful and your fingers may
be hurt if they are caught between the terminal and the mounting surface.
WARNING! Do not install the EXPLORER 323 or exchange cables with the
engine running in the vehicle.
