Main Control Unit The Nera F77 Main Communication Unit (MCU) - which
constitutes the major electronic part - is designed for wall or
desktop installation. The MCU supplies 48 VDC power to the
ADE through the coaxial cable.
The MCU mains input is 100 - 240 VAC 10%. The power
requirement is approx. 40 W in receive/idle mode, and
approx. 150 W in transmit mode.
A CD supplied with the equipment contains a program for
control and operation from PC. See the Nera F77 - User
Manual.
ISDN Handset The ISDN Handset keypad and built-in display allows dialing
and control of the MCU and antenna.
Distress Alarm The Distress Alarm Unit provides remote activation of an
alert transmission and indication of incoming distress calls.

Placing the Antenna
Radome type Nera F77 is delivered either with mast mounted or deck
mounted radome. See previous page.
The mast mounted version includes a hatch which provides
access for service and repair, whereas the deck mounted
version must be lifted down.
Avoiding obstructions The antenna has a beamwidth of 7.5 degrees (at 3 dB points)
and ideally requires a free line of sight in all directions above an
elevation angle of +5 degrees.
Any obstruction will cause blind sectors, resulting in signal
degradation or even loss of communication with the satellite.
Degradation of the satellite signal can only be completely
avoided by placing the antenna higher than any obstructions.
This is often not feasible and a compromise must be made to
reduce the number of blind sectors and cost of installation.
The degree of signal degradation depends on the size of the
obstructions; the distance to them must therefore be consid-
ered.
Preferably, all obstructions within 3 m of the antenna should be
avoided. Obstructions less than 15 cm in diameter can be
ignored beyond this distance.
Radiation precautions Passengers should not be admitted in areas closer than 5 m
from the antenna.
However, no restrictions are required when the antenna radome
is installed at least 2 m above the highest point accessible to
passengers.
Personnel should not be close to the antenna for periods of
more than 1 hour per day without switching off the RF transmit-
ter.

PLANNING
Nera F77
Avoiding interference Do not locate the antenna close to interfering signal sources, or
in such a position that the source (e.g. radar-antenna) radiates
directly into the Saturn antenna.
The Above Deck Equipment (ADE) should be separated as far
as possible from other transmitters, and preferably by at least
5 m from the antenna of other communication or navigation
equipment, such as the antenna of the satellite navigator, the
VHF antenna or radar equipment.
Compass safe distance For installation on British or Norwegian vessels, the antenna
should be located at a distance of at least 1.0 metres from the
magnetic steering compass. Be aware that requirements may
vary from one country to another.
Other precautions Do not place the antenna close to the funnel, as smoke depos-
its will then eventually degrade antenna performance.
The antenna should be installed so that severe vibration and
shock are avoided.
If installed on top of a signal and radar mast, the mast must be
supported by stays.

Designing the Antenna mast
The mast must be designed to carry the weight of the antenna
unit, approximately 65 kgs. It must be able to withstand wind
forces of up to 120 knots on the radome as well as the onboard
vibration levels. The radome is 1.080 m high and has a maxi-
mum diameter of 1.312 m.
The top end of the mast should be fitted with a flange with holes
matching the bolts extending from the bottom of the radome.
See figure below. The flange must not be so large as to inter-
fere with the hatch at the bottom of the antenna unit. The holes
through the mast flange must be positioned symmetrically
about the ships longitudinal axis.
NOTE: On ships with excessive vibration the mast must be
supported by stays or other adequate means.
If the height of the mast makes it necessary to climb up to the
antenna unit, a ladder must be provided on the mast column. A
guard rail must be attached to the upper section for safety
purposes. If the height of the mast exceeds approximately 4.5
metres, an access platform should be attached to the mast
approximately 1 metre below the radome bottom.
Be aware that requirements may vary from one country to
another.

used for control and configuration
of the Main Communication Unit.
This requires that the vtLite Marine
program accessible on the Nera F77 CD is installed.
Connection to the USB/RS-232/RS-422 port also allows
64 kbps data transmission.
See the User Manual.

Grounding considerations
A successful installation of a maritime satellite terminal must take
into account the noisy environment in which the equipment shall
operate.
Electrical noise The electrical environment on board a ship is usually quite noisy.
Powerful electrical installations cause voltage variations and
transients, as well as low and high frequency noise. Radio and
radar equipment radiate radio frequency signals which frequently
impregnate cables on board with unwanted interference.
Ground plane Most ships have a steel hull. One should think that the steel
construction of the ship would constitute a good ground plane.
This is often not quite true. Rust, other forms of corrosion, paint
and grease, often prevent a good ground connection. A conse-
quence of this is that high energy power distribution on board a
ship can cause significant ground potential differences.
Antenna unit Adequate grounding of the Antenna Unit depends on the
fastening bolts making good contact with the top flange of
the mast. This is obtained by removing paint and using
enclosed toothed washers and nuts.
Antenna cable The antenna coaxial cable normally has a solid or meshed metal
screen which must be terminated to ground both at the antenna
pedestal and at the MCU. The length of the cable can often be
more than 40 metres. If the ground potential level at the two
points differ, the current passing through the screen of the co-
axial cable can be quite strong. The antenna cable screen consti-
tutes a heavy gauge wire, which is capable of conducting large
amounts of current.
Below Deck Equipment The MCU must be provided with a good electrical connection to
the ships hull for grounding. This is obtained by using copper
foil. (See Installation: "Location and grounding of units".)
Length of copper foil/10 cm should not exceed 300 cm. The foil
should be connected to ship's hull (deck or roof) by hard-solder-
ing (or screws) to steel.
Mains power/ground Mains ground is secured to the common grounding point through
the external supply. It is therefore important to use the same
mains branch for additional equipment connected to the MCU
(Fax, PC w/printer etc.).

Laying cables
General The coaxial cable for connection between the MCU and the
Antenna Unit should, if possible, be laid before the equipment
arrives. Make sure sufficient length of cable is ordered.
Where exposed to mechanical wear (on deck, through bulk-
heads etc.), the cable should be protected by steel pipes.
Standard procedures should otherwise be followed for cabling
in ship installations.
Special attention to existing safety regulations is required if the
cable passes through zones where there may be flammable or
explosive gases. Use suitable gasproof cable glands or bush-
ings. Be aware that the cables listed in the table below are not
flame retardent.
Double screen 50 ohm coaxial cable must be used. The maxi-
mum length of the coaxial cable is limited by the DC and RF
loss through the cables (including pigtails):
Maximum DC loss: R loop 2.0 ohm
Maximum RF attenuation at 1.6 GHz: < 23 dB
The table below lists suitable double screened coaxial cables between MCU and ADE:
At the Antenna Unit A free end of approximately 1.5 m of the antenna cable above
the radome bottom should be provided for connection to the
coaxial connector in accordance with the installation instructions
in "BDE - Connecting the coaxial cable to the MCU".
At the Main The coaxial cable from the Antenna Unit should be given a
Communication Unit free end of approximately 0.5 m at the MCU location.

Reception of L-band Broadcast signals
In addition to regular 1.5/1.6 GHz, used for the various Inmarsat
systems, the transponders in the satellite also broadcast leased
channel info.
The design of Nera F77 with L-band (1.5/1.6 GHz) signals
between ADE and BDE, easily enable insertion of Directional
Couplers to pick up broadcast RF signals.
Such signals are Differential GPS (GPS corrections), Maritime
Chart Corrections, Radio Broadcasting channels, etc.
The diagram below indicates typical installation for reception of
broadcast signals.
