SPAC-AS-MSV320 Antenna Installation

Installation of the 3-axis antenna on the mast is done according to FIG 21. The diameter of the post shall preferably be between 35 and 50 mm using the standard clamp supplied in the kit. Note the TORQUES for bolts and nuts.

A small loop should be made on the co-axial cable near the plug SPAC M00233 in order to be able to pull the cable about 15 cm up through the mounting pole, when the antenna is installed or removed.

If a long (e.g. 3m) post is used on board a ship it is recommended that this is fastened to the ship using standard clamps rather than welding. This will enable the post to be laid down in case removal of the antenna is required.

Vibration

The antennas (2- and 3-axis versions) are designed to meet the following operating vibration levels in any of three perpendicular directions measured at the mounting base of the radome i.e. at the flange of the standard mounting pole described above:

Random Vibration

1.05 Grms with the following spectral density

 

5-20 Hz………….0.02G2/Hz

 

20-150 Hz……….-3dB/octave

And further,

 

Single Frequency Vibration

5-10 Hz with amplitude 2.54 mm

 

10-15 Hz with amplitude 0.76mm

 

15-25 Hz with amplitude 0.40mm

 

25-33 Hz with amplitude 0.23mm

Vibration levels in a typical installation are usually much less than the above mentioned values. It is, however, the responsibility of the installer to verify that the cited levels are not exceeded in any mode of operation of the vehicle/vessel. In case of abnormal vibration, typically at a resonance frequency, measures much be taken in order to displace the resonance frequency or to dampen the vibration amplitude.
