totally familiar with electrical circuits and service manual. Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment. Do not approach the radome closer than 1.4 m (FELCOM 500) or 0.7 m (FELCOM 250) when it is transmitting. The radome emits radio waves which can be harmful to the human body, particularly the eyes. Turn off the power at the mains switchboard before beginning the installation. Post a sign near the switch to indicate it should not be turned on while the equipment is being installed. Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can result if thepower is left on or is applied while the eq ...

1.1 Antenna Unit General Interfering objects (especially metal objects like masts) near the antenna can, in the worst case, prevent reception or transmission. Further, RF radiation from the antenna will affect the human body. Keep these and the following guidelines in mind when selecting a mounting location for the antenna unit. Secure unobstructed path in all directions The best mounting location secures an unobstructed path between the antenna unit and the sat- ellites, from horizontal to zenith. In other words, whatever the direction the antenna unit is pointing there are no interfering objects within the main beam (22° ...

2 Locate away from passengers and crew Radio waves can be harmful to the human body. Because safe distances change by country and ship construction, there is no standard formula to calculate safe distance. However, below are general guidelines. • FELCOM 500: Personnel should not approach an area in which the radiation level is higher than 10 W/m2, i.e., within 1.40 m from the radome surface. Construct a protective fence around the antenna unit so that personnel can not approach the antenna unit within 1.40 m. Also, to alert personnel not to approach the antenna unit, attach the caution labels (supplied as installation mate ...

3 • FELCOM 250: Personnel should not approach an area in which the radiation level is higher than 10 W/m2, i.e., within 0.70 m from the radome surface. Construct a protective fence around the antenna unit so that personnel can not approach the antenna unit within 0.70 m. Also, to alert personnel not to approach the antenna unit, attach the radiation warning sticker (supplied as installation materials) to any bulkhead which is at the po- sition of 0.70 m from the antenna unit. Minimum distance from other antennas MF/HF antennas, communication/navigation antennas: The antenna unit should be at least five meters from a MF/HF ...

4 Compass safe distance Locating the antenna unit too close to a compass can affect the compass performance. Keep the compass safe distance to prevent interference to the magnetic compass. See page i. Other mounting guidelines Other important mounting guidelines are • Locate the antenna unit away from exhaust stacks (foreign material on the radome can interfere with reception and transmission). • Keep the unit away from heat sources. • Locate the unit away from places where fuels and chemical solvents are stored. • Keep in mind the length of the cable from the communication unit is maximum 100 meters (when coaxial ca ...

5 Antenna mast and mounting base To get the best performance from the antenna electronics and mechanics, the antenna must be installed properly on a specially designed mast with suitable flange and rubber gasket. Below are guidelines for installation of the mounting mast and mounting base. • The mounting base should be parallel to the ship's waterline (tolerance: ±3°). • Weld a ground bolt of stainless steel to the mast (figure below). Connect the ground wire from the antenna unit to the ground bolt. 6×φ8 Fixing Hole φ60 (φ2.36") Cable Entry and Drain 110mm (4.33") 200 mm (7.87") FELCOM 500 FELCOM 250 200 mm (7.87" ...

6 FELCOM 500: How to install the antenna unit Carefully unpack the radome and check for damage. Antenna unit installation materials Procedure 1. Loosen four lifting lugs and turn them to outside at the bottom of the radome as shown in the figure on the next page. Then fasten four screws for lifting lugs firmly. 2. Run lifting rope with shackles through lifting lugs. 3. Cover the part of the radome which contacts the lifting rope with protective material (rubber mat, etc.), to prevent damage to the radome when hoisting it to the mounting location. 4. Lift the antenna unit to the mounting location. Item Quantity Remarks Silico ...

7 5. Lay the rubber mat on the mounting base and put the antenna unit on the rubber mat, keeping in mind cable gland direction (standard direction is stern). 6. Fix the antenna unit with four sets of hexagonal bolts and nuts as shown on the next page. Note: Tighten first nut with torque 36.5 Nm, then tighten second nut with the same torque. 7. Connect the ground wire to the ground bolt. 8. Coat all bolts and nuts with silicone sealant to prevent electrolytic corrosion.

9 Procedure 1. Attach the rubber mat on the bottom of the antenna unit if the mat is supplied as the installation material. 2. Connect the antenna cable to the coaxial plug on the bottom of the antenna unit. 3. Wrap the self-adhesive tape all around the coaxial connector for waterproofing and wrap the vinyl tape on the self-adhesive tape. 4. Put the antenna unit on the mounting base. The antenna unit is free of direction. However, preferably install the antenna unit, so the FU- RUNO logos face the port/ starboard side. 5. Fasten the ground wire (supplied) to the antenna bolt near the ground stud on the antenna mast and secu ...

10 9. Coat all bolts and nuts with silicone sealant to prevent electrolytic corrosion as shown below. Note: The cable entry hole (φ60) at the bottom of the antenna functions as ventilation hole, allowing trapped moisture to escape the dome. For that reason, ensure the hole is not blocked. Nut Silicone sealant Silicone sealant Spring washer Flat washer Antenna fixing bolt ...

11 How to mount the FELCOM 250 antenna unit with optional pole mount kit Pole mount kit: Type OP16-52, Code number 000-017-061 1. Ask the shipyard to prepare and mount an antenna mast (diameter φ89: 80A). 2. Attach the fixing plate SP-SAC-1032 to the antenna mast by hanging the lip of the fixing plate on the top of the antenna mast. 3. Insert the mounting pole SP-SAC-1031 through the U-bolts of the fixing plate and fasten the U-bolts. 4. Put the FELCOM 250 antenna unit on the mounting pole and fix it with nuts (see previous page).
