AVIATOR UAV 200 Installation Manual 4. INSTALLATION 4.1 GENERAL INFORMATION AND OVERVIEW This chapter contains considerations and recommendations for installation of the AVIATOR UAV 200 SATCOM terminal. The information and drawings contained in this manual are intended as a reference for engineering planning only. It is the installer’s responsibility to compose installation drawings specific to the aircraft.
AVIATOR UAV 200 Installation Manual Figure 4-2: USIM Holder 4.5 INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS Before you start to install the terminal, read the following sections carefully: Terminal location and mounting considerations Structural modifications, painting and sealing Wiring Diagram Grounding Alignment and installation limitations 4.5.1 Terminal Mass and CG The mass of the AVIATOR UAV 200 is approximately 1.
AVIATOR UAV 200 Installation Manual Figure 4-3: Unit Positioning to Avoid Obstacles between Antenna and Satellites 4.5.3.1 Co-location with Other Systems The AVIATOR UAV 200 has been designed to pass relevant RTCA DO-160G Radiated Emission tests [refer to Table 7-1]. RF Transmissions from the terminal may still affect the operation of other RF systems in some cases. The installer must evaluate the system RF susceptibility before deciding on the location of the SATCOM terminal. 4.5.3.
AVIATOR UAV 200 Installation Manual and the terminal connector. Multiple DC power pins are provided to reduce the series resistance of the power cable bundle. If long power cable runs are required, a larger gauge wire will need to be used over the length of the cable, and reduced to the appropriate gauge wire at the connector pin. 5. The Power Source for the UAV 200 Terminal should be 12VDC to 32VDC of at least 28W.

AVIATOR UAV 200 Installation Manual SIDE B SIDE D SIDE A SIDE C CONNECTOR Figure 4-6: AVIATOR UAV 200 Orientation The terminal may be slightly misaligned with the aircraft roll, pitch or yaw axes as shown below in Figure 4-7. Figure 4-7: Axes Definitions. The installation offset angles must be compensated for by the terminal to ensure optimal system performance. Mounting the terminal as level as possible ensures the terminal has a symmetric view of the satellite.
AVIATOR UAV 200 Installation Manual The overall pointing error of the antenna beam is dependent on the accuracy of the aircraft attitude data provided by the navigation system. The total pointing error must be less than 2.5° to ensure optimal performance. The AVIATOR UAV 200 uses the installation angles as part of the beam steering calculations. See Section 8.1.1 – Initial Configuration of the AVIATOR UAV 200 for details on how to configure the installation angles. 4.5.
AVIATOR UAV 200 Installation Manual 5. MAINTENANCE 5.1 GENERAL The AVIATOR UAV 200 does not require routine maintenance or adjustment apart from routine wiring installation checks. Non-disclosure.
