Installation Manual
Single-channel Unit
Introduction
Congratulations on your new Iridium handset or PSTN (Public
Switched Telephone Network) telephone.
Your Iridium system is a modular system that consists of an antenna,
transmitter/receiver, handset and optional PSTN telephone/PBX
(Private Branch Exchange) switchboard.
You can operate the Iridium system in voice mode from a handset
and/or PSTN telephone. To the system you can connect up to five
handsets and one PSTN telephone or PBX switchboard.
Sailor marine equipment is specially designed for the extremely
rugged conditions on board a ship, based on more than 50 years of
experience with all kinds of boats, from small pleasure crafts, over
fishing boats working under all climatic conditions, to the biggest
ships.
EuroCom Industries A/S (ECI) develops and produces high-
technology maritime communications equipment under the
brandname Sailor .
ECI is one of the world’s largest suppliers of communications
equipment for the maritime segment, a position which has been
maintained by means of constant and extensive product develop-
ment.
The Sailor products are sold through a global network with more
than 60 qualified and trained distributors.

2.1.1 Scanbus Termination
The scanbus connectiong the transceiver and the control units, has to be terminated. Only the first and last unit on the
bus shall have the termination in ON position.
The termination in the transceiver unit is done by setting the jumper S3, located near the scanbus terminal on the PCB
(see figure below). As default, the jumper S3 is set ON.

Installation IRIDIUM
The termination in the control unit is located on the PCB in the cradle as jumper S1 (see figure below). As default the
jumper S1 is set ON.

When configuring a system only including a transceiver unit and one control unit, no changes in the default termination
is needed. If the system includes more than one control unit, it is needed to remove some of the default terminations.
Below two examples of scanbus termination is given, when the system includes several control units.

2.2 Where to Place the Satellite Transceiver Box
Mount the satellite transceiver box in a place where it is sheltered from the wind, protected from the salty and humid
sea atmosphere. The temperature must not exceed 55° C.
To ensure that the SIM card is easily accessible, do not place the satellite transceiver box higher than 1.5 m above
the floor.
8
Installation IRIDIUM
2.3 How to Mount the Satellite Transceiver Box
Fix the satellite transceiver box to the wall using the four screws included in the package. The screws are positioned
as shown below:
First tighten three of the screws. The wall surface should be plane. If there is a discrepancy in planeness exceeding
1 mm, level the discrepancy up by shims or washers under the fourth screw before this is tightened.

2.4 How to Put on the Finishing Cover
When the satellite transceiver box has been mounted on the wall, put on the finishing cover.
The small lid in the finishing cover should be shut. Press the hooks inside the finishing cover down on the two thin edges
of the satellite transceiver box. While pressing, let the two plastic spears inside the finishing cover into the two square
holes of the satellite transceiver box.

0225
Press hard on the spots shown in the picture below until a loud click is heard.
When putting on the finishing cover, do not use any tools – only your hands.

Installation IRIDIUM
2.5 How to Insert the SIM Card
First, open the small lid in the finishing cover protecting
the SIM card reader. Then go through each of the follow-
ing steps:
Unlock the SIM card holder by pushing the lock with your
finger nail.
Lift the SIM card holder so that the slot points upwards.
0225
Insert the SIM card in the slot. Make sure that the cut-off
corner of the card is placed as shown in the picture.
Push the SIM card holder back down, and lock it by
pushing the lock with a finger nail.
Finally, shut the lid again.

2.6 How to Remove the Finishing Cover
You may need to dismount the satellite transceiver box from the wall, e.g. in connection with service.
For access to the mounting screws, the finishing cover can be removed from the satellite transceiver box as follows:
Put a screwdriver into the slot in the printed circuit board beside the SIM card reader, and press gently
to unhook the plastic spear.
While pressing with the screwdriver, lift up the same side of the finishing cover slightly to loosen it.
Repeat this procedure on the other side of the finishing cover.
You can now detach the finishing cover from the satellite transceiver box by pulling it gently upwards.

2.7 Installation of the Antenna
One of the advantages of this equipment is the easy-to-handle, lightweight and rugged antenna. Because the
IRIDIUM ® system is characterised by a good link margin, the antenna is a passive quadrifillar helix type, requiring
no external power supply and consisting of only nonmoving parts.
The following figures show the antenna and the two different mounting accessories available:
The mounting bracket in fig. 1 can be used in two different ways - mounted on either a rail or a pole.
The fitting in fig. 2 can be used at the top of a tube. Please note that it is necessary to mount the cable, and seal this
connection securely before the antenna and fitting are mounted on the tube.

Precautions
In order to avoid interference or any other kind of disturbances from other systems on board, there are a few
precautions to take note of:
Radars
According to any installation guide for radars it is of vital importance that any other units are kept outside the
radiation beam of the radar. Please consult fig. 3, showing what area to avoid:
36622A
10°
e.g. from the radar
Avoid interference
10°10°
Unobstructed view until
10° below the horizon
GPS
Tests have shown that only in case very old GPS equipment is used, a user may expect a minor influence on
the GPS originated from the Iridium equipment. This can be avoided by ensuring a distance of at least 1 m
between the two antennas.
14
Installation IRIDIUM
Inmarsat equipment
The operating frequency bands of the iridium and Inmarsat systems are neighbours, and it is not in any way by
any technical solution possible to completely separate these bands. This means that interference from Inmarsat
can be expected, especially if the antennas are placed near each other. The distance between the antennas
Should be as far as possible.
If in any way the user experiences trouble using Iridium because of Inmarsat, a filter can be provided as an
option. This filter is placed in a suitable place between the antenna and the transceiver. The filter is a passive
type not requiring external power but the filter loss of 1.2 dB have to be added to the total cable loss between
the transceiver and the antenna. Please contact your dealer for further information.
The table below shows the distance to other Inmarsat equipment, with and without use of filter.

2.8 PABX/PSTN Interface
This interface handles and converts 2-wire audio and control signals from/to the PABX into audio and control signals
from/to the LBT. The interface is placed on the control unit BUS, allowing the PABX to act as control unit. The interface
handles the following tasks:
·generates DC current to the PABX in both idle and active mode
·generates ringing voltage
·detects call requests from the PABX
·detects DTMF tones from the PABX
·converts audio TX/RX from the Iridium system to a 2-line balanced signal
This means that an ordinary two-wire system telephone can be connected to the onboard PABX unit/PSTN socket -
and the call can then be initiated from this telephone, e.g. from the captain’s cabin or the cargo control room. The built-
in SMPS of 10-32 V DC generates the necessary current to support the PSTN telephone of the system.
Specification of the Iridium system PSTN connection:
RJ11 connection:
1. nc
2. TIP
3. RING
4. nc
Line Voltage: 48V DC
Line current (source): 24 mA
Line impedance: 270 W + 750 W // 150 nF (this impedance also covers 600 W)
Ringing voltage: 60VRMS, 90 Vpp (square wave)
Ringing sequence: 0,6 sec On, 4 sec Off.
Ringing frequency: 30 Hz
Ringing drive capability: 1400 W @ 30 Hz (= 5 normal ring units)
2.9 Data Interface
The Iridium terminal includes a 9 pol Sub-D connection. The connection is a RS232 interface.
For using this interface, please contact your Iridium Service Provider, that will supply you with Iridium Data Interface
