IDP 600 Terminal Series - Hardware Guide T200, Version 02 26 © SkyWave Proprietary  5.5 mm drill bit  30 mm diameter hole punch or hole saw (bottom connector version only)  Screwdriver  Socket wrench set 4.3 Identify the Fuse Panel Location For installation in a truck, the cable from the terminal connects to the truck's fuse panel for power. 1. Locate the fuse panel in the truck. The location depends on the type, age, and model of the truck. 2. Identify an un-switched vehicle power source within the fuse panel for terminal power. 3. Ensure that the cable you ordered is of sufficient length to reach from the fuse panel to the final mounting location of the terminal. 4.4 Determine a Suitable Mounting Location Before installing the terminal, consider the important guidelines provided below. CAUTION Most users install the terminals on a vehicle. It is very important for installers to install the terminals in a safe and secure way to avoid danger or damage to persons or property.  Mount the terminal where it has a clear view of the sky/satellite. For a mobile installation, this means at the highest point on the vehicle or vessel where it has a clear view of the sky in all directions.  Mount the terminal so that the Inmarsat satellite is within α degrees of the mounting surface, α = 0 to 90 degrees for IDP-680 terminals and -15 to 90 degrees for IDP-690 terminals. Make sure that the line of sight is clear of obstructions.  Mount the terminal on a flat surface for mobile installations such that the elevation angle does not change with rotation. Note: For fixed installations, the terminal can be pointed at the Inmarsat satellite to improve performance. This is not necessary for IDP-690 terminals.  Fasten the terminal securely so that it is not loose and does not move easily.  Mount the terminal on a solid, stable surface. If necessary, use a mounting bracket (not supplied) or other suitable support.  Mount the terminal so that the top surface is horizontal (flat). Failure to do so may compromise line of sight between the satellite and the terminal.  Mount the terminal on a surface that does not get hotter than the maximum operating temperature. If the surface may get hotter, mount the terminal with a thermal barrier between it and the mounting surface. CAUTION Mount the terminal at least 20 cm away from humans.
IDP 600 Terminal Series - Hardware Guide © SkyWave Proprietary 27 T200, Version 02  Do not mount the terminal close to other electrical equipment due to possible radiated and/or conducted electromagnetic interference.  Do not mount the terminal close to radar or other communications antennas. Use the following guidelines: > 1 m from VHF/UHF antenna > 3 m from loop antenna > 4 m from MF/HF antenna > 5 m from other satellite antennas Not within a radar beam  Do not mount the terminal where water may build-up or collect.  Ensure that any paint above the terminal is non-metallic and non-metallic flake, if the installation is under fiberglass or composite wind fairings.  Check that the terminal's cable reaches the power source before you drill any mounting holes.  Do not mount the terminal close to an exhaust pipe due to the excessive heat and the potential for the exhaust pipe causing satellite blockage.  Do not mount the terminal close to air horns or any tractor roof hardware (e.g., emergency lights) that could interfere with satellite communications.  Mount the terminal on the driver's side of the vehicle, if possible, when there is a possibility of strikes by overhanging tree branches.  Do not install the terminal inside the truck under the roof liner. Once you have picked the mounting location, mount the terminal (refer to Section 4.5). 4.5 Route the Main Cable Consider the following guidelines before routing the cable assembly. CAUTION Ensure the power cable will not be pinched, kinked or worn down by any objects or moving parts such as the door hinges. It is very important to secure the cable at many points along its path. CAUTION Prior to working on any cabling, ensure that the terminal is powered off and will not start while work is in progress.  Do not route the cable near the engine if routing through the engine compartment. This location will subject the cable to extreme heat.  Keep the cable away from hot surfaces such as exhaust pipes as this may damage the cable.  Do not run the cable over sharp or jagged edges.  Place the cable in recesses and channels, whenever possible, to prevent potential damage or wear by foot traffic.
IDP 600 Terminal Series - Hardware Guide T200, Version 02 28 © SkyWave Proprietary Note: Remember to leave enough cable slack near the terminal for strain relief so as not to introduce any additional force on the connector. SkyWave recommends securing the cables during installation. Figure 22 Sample Cable Placement in a Vehicle Cab Run the cable assembly following the steps below. 1. Use tape to temporarily secure the terminal in its final location while you run the cable. CAUTION Do not drill any mounting holes at this time. 2. Search for vehicle cab entry points on the side of the vehicle closest to the fuse panel. This will help to minimize the amount of cable routed along the floor of the cab. Where possible route the cable through existing holes in the floor or the firewall of the engine compartment. 3. Route the cable starting from the terminal to the fuse panel or battery source. Note: SkyWave recommends that you tape cable ends to prevent dirt from collecting on the contacts. 4.6 Mount the Terminal CAUTION Painting terminals or antennas may interfere with their performance. The terminal will either have a bottom connector or a side connector. Note: The Solution Provider is responsible for providing mounting instructions if the mounting is to be done using tools or configurations that are different from the ones described in this document. Note: It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with local electrical codes.
IDP 600 Terminal Series - Hardware Guide © SkyWave Proprietary 29 T200, Version 02 Figure 23 Bottom Connector and Side Connector (IDP-680 shown) 4.6.1 Drill Mounting Holes (optional) Note: These steps are only needed if you do not require a mounting bracket (provided by the Solution Provider). 1. Use the drill template (APPENDIX F) to mark the location of the four mounting holes and the connector hole. The direction of the terminal with a bottom connector is not important. 2. Drill the four mounting holes using the drill with the 5.5 mm bit. 3. Punch or drill the 30 mm hole for the connector (bottom connector only). 4. Continue with the steps, below, for Mount the Terminal. 4.6.2 Mount the Terminal 1.

Use the screwdriver and socket set to lock the terminal in place with the mounting hardware. CAUTION Do not over-tighten. 4.6.3 Apply Dielectric Grease 1. Cut off one end of the tube of silicone lubricant (Figure 25). Adding the silicone lubricant (grease) will make sure that there is a watertight seal. 2. Insert the tube into the male end of the mating connector (Figure 25). CAUTION Do not apply pressure to the cable/connector during the installation. Figure 25 Apply Silicone Lubricant to Connector 3. Squeeze the lubricant into the mating connecter opening until it is full. Some lubricant will spill out. 4. Connect the cable connector to the terminal by aligning the corresponding connector key slot (Figure 26) and gently squeezing together. Fill this cavity Apply waterproof sealing compound
IDP 600 Terminal Series - Hardware Guide © SkyWave Proprietary 31 T200, Version 02 CAUTION Do not force the connector pins to mate since this may damage the pins. Figure 26 Key Slot 5. Tighten the cable connector with hand pressure by rotating the locking collar on the cable connector clockwise. Do not use a wrench. A tactile click is felt when the collar is properly engaged. Figure 27 Cable Connector and Locking Collar 6. Wipe off any extra lubricant around the connector. 7. Wrap the mating connector with waterproof sealing tape if using the connector in changing weather conditions. 4.7 Protect the Cables and Cable Connectors CAUTION Cable management and connector strain relief must be incorporated in the installation.

IDP 600 Terminal Series - Hardware Guide T200, Version 02 32 © SkyWave Proprietary terminal connector. Damage to the terminal connector interface or cable may otherwise result leading to hardware failure. To protect the terminal's connector interface, follow the guidelines below:  Apply tape around the cable ends to help in routing the cable.  Secure the cable such that it does not pull on the connector or strain the terminal connector.  Tie the cable down so that the weight of a vibrating cable will not stress or strain the connection.  Tie the cable down using cable ties and tie holders (Figure 28) at 300 to 600 mm intervals along the cable route to prevent chafing, wear, or strain.  Secure the cable tie holder with a self-tapping screw (Figure 28) for best holder retention. Figure 28 Cable Management 4.8 Connect to Power CAUTION Apply power only after making ground connection. CAUTION Before applying power to the terminal, make sure that your power supply’s rated voltage follows the recommended values specified in Section 2. CAUTION The installer is responsible for complying with local electrical codes. Note: SkyWave recommends that if possible the user wait until the terminal is unblocked (i.e., has a full view of the sky) before powering up the terminal. 1. Locate the main power input and the ground (GND) wires on the cable breakout. You can connect the terminal ground to ground in the fuse panel or to chassis ground. To do this, secure the ground wire on the cable assembly to a piece of metal electrically connected to the vehicle chassis using a sheet metal screw. 2. Ensure that the main power input and ground wires reach the vehicle fuse panel. Adhesive cable tie holder. Apply a self-tapping screw here for added strength.
IDP 600 Terminal Series - Hardware Guide © SkyWave Proprietary 33 T200, Version 02 If the wires are not long enough, splice similar gauge wire to the main power input and ground wires so that they reach the fuse panel. Cover any splices with adhesive lined heat shrink. 3. Connect the ground wire to the grounding point selected in Section 4.3. 4. Connect the main power input wire to the un-switched vehicle power source within the fuse panel. 5. Loop and secure any excess cabling. When connected to an external power source, the terminal gives an indication that it has power when the LED lights up. Figure 29 LED Location If your application requires extended cable lengths, it is necessary to calculate the cable voltage drop to determine if the terminal is receiving at least 9 V (with 1.7 A draw). Large cable voltage drops may adversely affect terminal operation. Note: Connect only SkyWave approved cables to the terminal. Use of other cables will void the terminal warranty. 4.9 Register the Terminal Note: The IDP 600 series terminals must complete registration to operate. Once you apply power, the terminal goes into satellite search mode to acquire the SkyWave IsatData Pro network. This activity may take a few minutes to complete. If you experience difficulties, refer to Section 6 for troubleshooting suggestions. 1. Once the terminal synchronizes itself with the network, it sends a registration message to the SkyWave IsatData Pro network. Note: The terminal will not register until it has a clear line of sight to the satellite. 2. The SkyWave IsatData Pro network records the registration message and forwards the registration message to the user’s application. The SkyWave IsatData Pro network sends an acknowledgement message over the satellite to the terminal. The terminal is now available to send and receive messages. Terminal LED
