2 INSTALLATION OF FLEET ONE TERMINAL
2.1 Installation of ADU
2.1.1 Overview
In general, any obstructing objects like a mast near the antenna unit can block reception or
transmission from the satellite’s line of sight. In addition, RF radiation emitting from the
antenna will affect the human body. When selecting a mounting location, it is important to
ensure that the antenna unit shall be free of severe vibration and shock and heat and smoke
from funnel. More guidelines will be detailed in the next sections.
2.1.2 Radiation Hazard
Radio wave can pose hazard to human body. Safe distances are changed, subjected to
country and ship construction. There is no standard formula to calculate safe distance. The
below guidelines are to be noted.
Fleet One ADU
WARNING: Keep away from the antenna radome at the mentioned
safe distance when it is transmitting. Microwave radiation can be
harmful to human body, particularly the eyes.

2.1.3 Interference
The antenna unit must be mounted as far as possible away from the/HF antennas,
communication/navigations, VSAT systems and any high power radio transmitter (including
other Inmarsat-based systems).
Radar
It is difficult to provide the exact minimum distance between a radar and the antenna
unit due to different type of radars in terms of power, radiation pattern and operating
frequency band.
The antenna unit is recommended to be at least ±15⁰ from the radar’s vertical beam.
The minimum radar distance indicates the minimum distance between the closest
point of the radar and the closest surface of the antenna radome. This distance is
determined by the radar, transmit frequency and the power.

VSAT System
For optimum performance the distance between the antenna and VSAT antennas
should be at least 3 meter.
GPS Antenna
As the antenna transmits power close to the GPS receive band, the minimum
distance to GPS antennas is typically 5 meter.
Other L-Band Systems
Page 21 of 39
Fleet One Terminal Installation Manual
Typical L-Band satellite communication equipment should be able to operate in close
proximity without loss of performance ( Refer to Section 2.1.4 Distance to obstruction
objects). It is to be noticed that such equipment typically includes GPS antennas, and
that it can be necessary to use the typical minimum distance of typically 5 meter.
2.1.4 Obstruction
When locating the antenna, it is very important to ensure that there is a clear line-of-sight to
the satellite for all the satellite elevation angles in the region in which the vessel will operate.
The antenna moves in azimuth 360⁰ and in roll and pitch down to -25⁰ to ensure constant
tracking even in heavy sea. Any obstructions within this arc can cause performance
degradations on the signal quality. The amount of degradation depends on the size of the
obstruction and distance from the antenna. The table below is a guide line on the object size,
at a given distance from the antenna that gives limited degradation.
