14Installation GuidelinesThis guide outlines the process for installing the TR400/OC400 Terminal.This kit must not be used with any other device.•  Only qualied personnel should install this communication equipment.•  Ensure that the units are protected from dirt and moisture.•  Select an area to mount components where there is no interference from other objects.•  Ensure that each mounting surface is strong enough to support the component being mounted to prevent the component from loosening over time.•  Mount all components securely to prevent shifting that could cause injury or could interfere with safe vessel operation. Always use the supplied mounting hardware.•  Leave space around the units to allow cooling and ensure there are adequate clearance for cables.•  Ensure the units can be easily removed.•  Vertical (wall) mounting orientation is required to maintain IP53 rain protection. equipment to overheat if a wiring fault exists.•  Many parts of a vessel can produce electrical noise that interferes with the electrical radio system operation. The ignition system is the most common source of electrical noise interference. Before you begin installation, ensure that the ignition wiring and connections to the vessel battery are in  good working condition. •  Verify that low resistance connections are present between the battery negative terminal, the vessel chassis, and/or the engine block. All wire connections should be clean and tight.WARNINGDo not connect the TR400/OC400 interface power cable to the unit until the full installation is completed.Routing Cables •  Route cables so they are protected from pinching, sharp edges, and crushing.•  Use grommets wherever a cable must pass through a hole in a metal panel•  Keep all in-line connectors accessible.•  For an extra clean installation, a hole may be driven through the surface directly .Guidelines for Electrical ConnectionsThe system is designed to operate in negative ground 10 to 32 Volt DC electrical systems only.  If using the DC cable lead:•  The best power connection point for the positive primary power lead is the positive terminal of the battery. Often, direct connection to the battery is inconvenient, and you may find it easier to connect the positive leads to the starter solenoid. Always select a point  as close as possible to the battery.•  Connect the negative primary power leads to a good ground point on the vessel chassis or at the battery. If you must attach the negative primary power lead directly to the negative pole of the battery, you may optionally insert a 10-amp fuse (not included) into the ground (0V) line. Failure to insert a fuse can cause

26Symptoms of RF InterferenceSymptoms of RF interference often resemble those that arise when an antenna is being operated with an obstructed view of the sky.  Some of these symptoms include; erratic or no signal strength indication dropped calls or warbled or otherwise distorted voice. These symptoms may be intermittent or persistent, depending largely on the interference source, its distance, strength and frequency relative to the Inmarsat unit.Mitigation of RF InterferenceInmarsat Service degradation due to RF interference can be signicantly improved by:  •  Increasing the distance and moving the Inmarsat antenna o axis from the source of the interference, and •  Using an external band pass lter and an external antenna.WARNINGFailure to use Beam approved antenna cables will result in degraded performance and may damage the TR400/OC400 terminal.Cabling Using an externally mounted antenna provides an ideal solution for many applications.  It is very important that both the antenna cabling and antenna are Beam approved products.  Always ensure all RF connectors are screwed together rmly and ensure there are no sharp bends in the cabling between the TR400/OC400 and the antenna.RF InterferenceAll wireless devices, including satellite telephones, are susceptible to RF (radio frequency) interference from other electronic devices. This problem is more evident when numerous antennas and broadcasting devices are located within close proximity to each other. Assuring Quality of Inmarsat ServiceInmarsat is committed to providing subscribers around the world with consistent, reliable, quality voice and data access all day, every day. The Inmarsat satellite system is monitored for call performance from numerous locations 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in order to achieve this. There are conditions that can compromise the quality of the service you may receive. These include:•  Obstructions •  Cabling •  RF InterferenceObstructionsNearby tall buildings or similar structures, heavily leafed trees and mountains can all degrade performance as they block the signal between the antenna and the satellites. Inmarsat performance is immune from natural environments such as clouds, fog, rain, snow, wind and smoke.
