This manual is the installation and user manual of SAILOR 900 VSAT.
This manual covers installation and operation of the SAILOR 900 VSAT system, which consists of an Above Deck Unit (ADU) antenna, an Antenna Control Unit (ACU) and a VSAT Modem Unit (VMU). It is issued by Thrane & Thrane A/S, trading as Cobham SATCOM, as document number 98-133400-F, release date 25 February 2013 (revision F).
The manual includes a safety summary covering microwave radiation hazards, grounding, power supply and service restrictions, followed by chapters on system introduction with part numbers and options, site preparation, installation of the ADU, ACU and VMU, interfaces of the ACU and VMU, and connecting power. It also describes optional dual-antenna mode and lists supported satellite routers and modems such as iNFINITI, Evolution, COMTECH 570 L or 625, Satlink 2900 and Gilat SkyEdge II.
| Input voltage range | 20 - 32 VDC |
|---|---|
| Compass safe distance (ADU) | min. 130 cm (IEC 945) |
| Compass safe distance (ACU) | min. 10 cm (IEC 945) |
| Minimum radiation safety distance | 30 m (10 W/m²) |
The minimum safety distance to the Above Deck Unit reflector on the focal line is 30 m, based on a radiation level of 10 W/m². No hazard exists more than 25° below the ADU's mounting plane.
The system operates on 20 - 32 VDC, and 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 such as a SAILOR 6080 Power Supply can be used.
User access to the interior of the ACU is prohibited, and only a technician authorized by Cobham SATCOM may perform service; failure to comply voids the warranty.
Yes, use of the frequency band 13.75 to 14 GHz is restricted in Belgium, Hungary, Latvia, Malta and Slovakia. Contact the VSAT modem provider for local setups.
