Power port
The power port is the connection from the power supply (vehicle battery or another 12 VDC power source) to the satellite terminal. The power cable has a +V power line, an ignition sense line, and a –V power line.
Table 2. Pinout details
System power requirements
There is one power connection on the terminal. This must be connected to a 12
VDC power supply.
Power requirements and consumption are listed in Table 3.
SIM card
The satellite terminal requires an Inmarsat SIM to be installed.
In order to install the SIM, unscrew the six M3 screws using a Torx 10
screwdriver and carefully lift up the radome, as shown in Figure 3 on page 9.
Please note that the torque value for this type of screw is 0.6–0.8 Nm.
Note : Before removing the radome please make sure the terminal is disconnected from the power.
Insert the SIM (supplied by the dealer) into the SIM card holder with the
metal contacts facing down. You will hear a click once the SIM card is
correctly inserted.
The SIM card will protrude slightly from the metal casing, as shown in Figure
4.
Carefully replace the radome and reinstall the screws with a torque setting of 0.6–– 0.8 Nm.
Custom cable connections
Adding an RJ45 connector to the power cable
Follow the instructions in Table 4 to add an RJ45 connector to the power and data cable.
-
Strip the power cable to expose the internal wires.
-
Connect the RJ45 wiring block to the power cable using a straight-through connection. Reference Figure 5 and Table 5 on page 11 for the power and RJ45 connector pinouts.
- Internal Wires Power Cable
- Table 5. Power cable: RJ45 connection details
- Internal Wires Power Cable
-
Strip and tin the remaining wires (power, ground, remote switch wire ends) of the power cable.
Note: The yellow wire of the power cable is for future use, so it can be left with no connection -
Use tie wraps for strain relief if necessary (see Figure 6).
-
The remote switch/ignition can be used for vehicles to ensure that power is only supplied to the terminal when the Ignition switch is on. If the remote switch/ignition wire is not used, then Pin 1 and Pin 3 need to be connected or Pin 1 needs to be connected to the power source.
Vehicular installation
Basic installation procedure
The basic installation procedure is as follows:
- Decide where you are going to install the satellite terminal.
- Determine the cable length required for the power installation.
- Install the satellite SIM card.
- Permanently install using the provided mounting kit or install three magnetic mounts for vehicle roof mounting (optional).
- Connect the power and data cables to the terminal.
- Connect the terminal to the user equipment.
Installation notes
- Whenever routing cable through holes drilled in metal or through bulkheads, use grommets and RTV sealant to weatherproof all holes drilled on the outside of the vehicle
- Use cable ties every 300–450 mm
- The main power line must be connected to a fused 12 VDC power source. A 10 A fuse is required in the source to protect against shorts in the cabling. If connecting to a circuit in the fuse box that is already in use, ensure that the circuit can supply the unit with at least 6 A.
- Route and connect the white ignition sense wire to a switched 12 VDC source.
- Always provision internal wiring with a drip loop.
Permanent mount installation
Installation
When permanently installing the terminal on vehicles, some important guidelines must be followed to ensure long and trouble-free operation.
- Always install the terminal so that it is in a horizontal position, even if the surface on which it is installed on e.g., the roof of a vehicle is not horizontal. The antenna has drainage holes at the bottom.
- Always install the terminal so that the clearance between the drainage holes at the bottom of the antenna and the mounting surface is no less than 5 mm and preferably 10 mm.
The hole pattern needed to permanently mount the terminal is shown in Figure 8 (see installation guidelines for mounting advice). Not following the above guidelines will void the warranty of the antenna. If in doubt, please consult Hughes at mobilesatellitesuppoprt@hughes.com.
3. In order to fulfill the criteria 1 and 2 above, use the supplied set of mounting hardware as shown in Figure 7.
The installation kit included with the antenna contains two sets of M5 bolts (60mm and 70mm), stainless steel washers, plastic spacers and lock nuts. The included plastic spacers allow the antenna to have sufficient clearance between the bottom of the radome and the mounting surface. The two different bolt lengths included are used for different mounting surface thicknesses, see Figure 9 and Figure 10.
A dedicated magnet mounting kit (P/N: 3501152-0002) can be used when installing the antenna onto a car roof. Refer to Section 3.4 of this document for further information.
Drainage of the antenna
A simple drainage mechanism is used in the bottom of the unit to provide venting and drainage of any condensation inside the radome. Correct function of the drainage system will only be ensured by following criteria mentioned.
Cleaning
The antenna can be cleaned and washed together with the vehicle (hosing down or driving through a washing tunnel). When using a pressure washer, do not direct the jet towards the antenna from short distance. Avoid pressure washing at maximum pressure; the sealing gasket may not withstand such high-pressure jet. Never direct a water jet towards the drainage holes at the radome bottom. Water may be forced up the drainage channel.
Magnetic mounting (optional)
Three magnetic mounts (P/N: 3501152-0002) are optional for the terminal installation.
The magnetic mount consists of three high-intensity magnets with rubber coating. First put the bolt through the magnet. The hole in the magnet has a recess on one side – ensure the bolt head fits into this recess in the magnet. Next, place two rubber washers on each bolt. Put the bolt through the hole on one of the antenna’s three “ears”. Then place two rubber washers on each bolt above each “ear”, the stainless-steel washer above the upper washer and the M5 protective nut on top. Torque until height is 37mm / 1.46”, as shown in Figure 11.
Now place the antenna with magnets on the roof of the vehicle. When installing the antenna cable, it is important to protect it against moisture – using self-amalgamating tape wrapped around the coaxial connector. Also, be careful with the cable run from the antenna and secure it at short intervals. An unsupported length of cable will vibrate when driving and could over time develop a bad connection.
Dismounting:
Grab the antenna near one of the magnets and lift up. When one magnet is loose, the other two are easy to “pop off”.
In some situations, the magnetic force is so large that it may be necessary to unscrew the antenna first and remove the magnets separately.
