To
install the ADU
Make sure that there is
sufficient space underneath the ADU to open the service hatch. Through this
hatch you access the ADU modules for service and maintenance.
The ADU does not have to be aligned with the bow-to-stern line of the ship. When configuring the SAILOR 800/900 VSAT you make an azimuth calibration to obtain the correct azimuth of the ADU.
• It is important to maintain
vertical orientation of the ADU center line.
• Consider the aspect of
interference.
• Install the ADU where
vibrations are limited to a minimum.
• Always use all 4 bolts when
installing the ADU.
To install the ADU, do as follows:
• Install the mast with the mast flange and have the 4 M12 bolts ready.
• Undo all shipping buckles, take off the wooden top and remove the casing.
• Unscrew the 4 bolts holding the ADU on the wooden platform.
• Attach a webbed, four-part sling with a belt to all 4 lifting brackets.
