FX500R / FX 500 / FX250 Installation cum Operation Manual SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS For the sake of safety and protection, read the manual before attempting to use the FBB User Equipment (UE). The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service and repair of this equipment. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this user guide violates safety standards of intended use of the UE.
FX500R / FX 500 / FX250 Installation cum Operation Manual Grounding, cables and connections Service The chassis of the equipment must be connected to an electrical ground. This will minimise electric shock and mutual interference. In short, the UE must be grounded to the vessel. Do not attempt to access to the interior of the UE. Only qualified personnel authorized by its manufacturer may perform service. Failure to comply with this rule will result in the warranty void.
FX500R / FX 500 / FX250 Installation cum Operation Manual To legally operate Inmarsat equipment, it is necessary to obtain permission from the local telecommunications regulatory authorities of the country you are operating from. Using your equipment in any country without permission causes you to run the risk of confiscation of the equipment by the local authorities. The normal procedure to bring such equipment into another country is to apply for a license before travel.

FX500R / FX 500 / FX250 Installation cum Operation Manual 1 FLEETBROADBAND USER EQUIPMENT 1.1 Introduction The FBB UE consists of three units; Below Deck Unit (BDU) which is a communication unit Above Deck Unit (ADU) which is an antenna unit Wired Primary handset with cradle 1.2 Above Deck Unit The ADU is a 3-axis controlled antenna unit which is self-tracking.
FX500R / FX 500 / FX250 Installation cum Operation Manual 1.3 Below Deck Unit The BDU is the heart unit of the FBB UE. It has several interface ports and handles all communication links between the ADU, primary handset and the local communication devices such as analog telephone, computer, network equipment, navigation equipment etc. ( FX 500 and FX 250 BDUs are similar).
FX500R / FX 500 / FX250 Installation cum Operation Manual The Primary Handset’s connector is plugged into the BDU’s primary handset port. It is powered directly from the BDU.
FX500R / FX 500 / FX250 Installation cum Operation Manual 2 INSTALLATION OF THE USER EQUIPMENT 2.1 2.1.1 Installation of ADU Overview In general, any obstructing objects like mast near the antenna unit can block reception or transmission from a satellite’s line of sight. In addition, RF radiation emitting from the antenna will affect human body. When selecting a mounting location, it is important to ensure that the antenna unit shall be free of severe vibration and shock and heat and smoke from funnel.
FX500R / FX 500 / FX250 Installation cum Operation Manual FX 250 ADU MICROWAVE RADIATION ! NO ADMITTANCE WITHIN SAFETY DISTANCE Antenna Unit Safety distance 1m WARNING: Keep away from the antenna radome at the mentioned safe distance when it is transmitting. Microwave radiation can be harmful to human body, particularly the eyes.
FX500R / FX 500 / FX250 Installation cum Operation Manual 2.1.3 Interference The antenna unit must be mounted as far as possible away from the ship’s radars, MF/HF antennas, communication/navigation antennas, VSAT system and any high power radio transmitter (including other Inmarsat-based system).
FX500R / FX 500 / FX250 Installation cum Operation Manual 2.1.4 Obstruction The mounting position of the antenna unit especially its line-of-sight are possibly obstructed by any large obstacle in a vessel or ship. This will result in the degradation of the satellite signal. It is very important to choose the ideal installation site on the upper deck to minimise the satellite blocking.
FX500R / FX 500 / FX250 Installation cum Operation Manual With the understanding of the large obstacle, it helps in the decision of the installation site with the reduction of the physical obstruction. 2.1.5 Antenna Mast The antenna unit should be located at least 3-meter away from the ship’s mast having a diameter of less than 15cm.
FX500R / FX 500 / FX250 Installation cum Operation Manual The mast should provide the internal hole for the installation of the coaxial cable. The flange (known as the top plate) of the mast shall meet the dimensions of the ADU’s mounting base, where there are 6 holes. The rubber gasket is required to be inserted between the ADU mounting base and the flange. A : Use M6x35 Hex Head Screw bolts (6x) into the threaded holes of ADU Mounting Base for mounting the ADU.
FX500R / FX 500 / FX250 Installation cum Operation Manual Clearance holes for M6 ( Recommended >φ6.5mm) Cut-hole Dimension for In case of the existing mast’s flange in a vessel or ship does not fit the ADU’s mounting base’s holes, a mechanical adaptation flange/plate is to be designed and custom-made, which acts as an interface between the existing mast and the ADU. Custom-made mechanical adaptation flange 2.1.
FX500R / FX 500 / FX250 Installation cum Operation Manual Put the antenna unit on the rubber mat and ensure that their four bolts are aligned with the mounting flange’s holes. FX 500 Antenna Unit Rubber Mat Mast Mounting Flange Tighten the spring washers and nuts to the antenna unit’s bolts with torque value of 30Nm in order to secure it to the mounting flange. Coat all the bolts and nuts with the silicon sealant to prevent electrolytic corrosion.
FX500R / FX 500 / FX250 Installation cum Operation Manual Alternatively it can be mounted on the long pole. The physical dimension of a long pole shall be preferably at 2 meter height with its diameter ranges from Ø35 to Ø 50mm. In addition, the optional pole mount kit is available for the installation of the ADU onto the long post. 2.1.7 Antenna Cable Recommended Specifications The table below shows the recommended cable types and maximum cable lengths.
FX500R / FX 500 / FX250 Installation cum Operation Manual The following important notes are to be followed for the selection of a location before installing the BDU: The unit is not water proof and it has to be kept away from water splash. The ambient temperature and humidity in the selected location must meet the requirements given in the unit’s specification. Ambient Temperature Relative Humidity -25ºC to +55ºC Up to 95% at +40ºC. The unit shall be kept away from direct sunlight.
FX500R / FX 500 / FX250 Installation cum Operation Manual Fix the holes of mounting brackets with four M4x12mm self-tapping or machined screws so that the BDU is being secured.
FX500R / FX 500 / FX250 Installation cum Operation Manual 2.3 Installation of Primary Handset The primary handset is provided with cradle. It can be mounted on a desktop, bulkhead, top ceiling or under captain’s console as similar as the BDU. The primary handset is to be separated from its cradle so that the cradle can be fixed with the M5 x 12mm self-tapping screws. The procedure of installing the cradle is simple as follow: 1.
