Because theIRIDIUM ® system is characterised by a good link margin,the antenna is a passive quadrifillar helix type, requiringno external power supply and consisting of only nonmovingparts.The following figures show the antenna and the twodifferent mounting accessories available:The mounting bracket in fig. 1 can be used in two differentways - mounted on either a rail or a pole.Important!To comply with FCC RF exposure regulations, the antennamust be installed in a location providing a minimum RFRadiation Safety Distance of 0.61m (2 feet).Important!It is important that the antenna cable used has a maximum loss of 3dB @ 1.6GHz between antenna and transceiver.This antenna cable must be in one piece. Neglecting this will reduce the overall receiving/transmitting performanceat sea. If installation is not carried out in accordance with these guidelines, it will void the warranty of the product.
12Installation IRIDIUM0514PrecautionsIn order to avoid interference or any other kind ofdisturbances from other systems on board, there are afew precautions to take note of:RadarsAccording to any installation guide for radars it is of vitalimportance that any other units are kept outside theradiation beam of the radar. Please consult the illustrationdown below, showing what area to avoid:36622A10°e.g. from the radarAvoid interference10° 10°Unobstructed view until10° below the horizonGPSTests have shown that only in case very old GPS equipmentis used, a user may expect a minor influence on the GPSoriginated from the Iridium equipment. This can be avoidedby ensuring a distance of at least 1 m between the twoantennas.Inmarsat equipmentThe operating frequency bands of the iridium and Inmarsatsystems are neighbours, and it is not in any way by anytechnical solution possible to completely separate thesebands. This means that interference from Inmarsat canbe expected, especially if the antennas are placed neareach other. The distance between the antennas Shouldbe as far as possible.If in any way the user experiences trouble using Iridiumbecause of Inmarsat, a filter can be provided as an option.This filter is placed in a suitable place between theantenna and the transceiver. The filter is a passive typenot requiring external power. Please contact your dealerfor further information.
