Safety summary

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 manual violates safety standards of design,

manufacture and intended use of the equipment. Thrane & Thrane A/S assumes no liability

for the customer's failure to comply with these requirements.

Distance to other equipment

Do not move the Above Deck Unit closer to radars than the minimum safe distance

specified in section Interference on page 3-12 — it may cause damage to the Above Deck

Unit.

Compass Safe Distance:

SAILOR 100 Satellite TV antenna or ADU (Above Deck Unit): min. 130 cm (IEC 945).

SAILOR 100 Satellite TV ACU (Antenna Control Unit): min. 10 cm (IEC 945)

Service

User access to the interior of the ACU is prohibited. Only a technician authorized by Thrane

& Thrane A/S may perform service - failure to comply with this rule will void the warranty.

Access to the interior of the Above Deck Unit is allowed. Replacement of certain modules -

as described in Service & maintenance on page 8-1 and general service may only be

performed by a technician authorized by Thrane & Thrane A/S.

Do not service or adjust alone

Do not attempt internal service or adjustments unless another person, capable of

rendering first aid resuscitation, is present.

Grounding, cables and connections

To minimize shock hazard and to protect against lightning, the equipment chassis and

cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground. The ACU must be grounded to the ship.

For further grounding information refer to the Installation manual.

Do not extend the cables beyond the lengths specified for the equipment. The cable

between the ACU and Above Deck Unit can be extended if it complies with the specified

data concerning cable losses etc.

Rx cables for the SAILOR 100 Satellite TV system are shielded and should not be affected by

magnetic fields. However, try to avoid running cables parallel to high power and AC/RF

wiring as it might cause malfunction of the equipment.

Power supply

The voltage range for the SAILOR 100 Satellite TV is 20 — 32 VDC. Note that the Above Deck

Unit is powered by the ACU.

If a 24 VDC power bus is not available, an external 115/230 VAC to 28 VDC power supply can

be used, for example a SAILOR 6080 Power Supply.

Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere

Do not operate the equipment in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of

any electrical equipment in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.

Keep away from live circuits

Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers. Component replacement and

internal adjustment must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Do not replace

components with the power cable connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous

voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always

disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them.

Failure to comply with the rules above will void the warranty!
