6.2 Calibration of the SAILOR 900
VSAT
You must align the ADU with the vessel’s gyro compass. To do this, you
make an azimuth calibration, i.e. you determine the offset of the ADU
zero direction to the bow-to-stern line of the ship. This procedure is fully
automatic.
You can enter the satellite data for calibration directly on the calibration
page or you can define a Service profile to be used in the calibration.
After the calibration you create the satellite and VSAT modem profiles
you want to use during normal operation, and you can set up blocking
zones for the specific installation.
For a detailed introduction to the web interface see Overview and
dashboard on page 6-13.
The following sections describe the steps for a successful calibration:
• Setup of a service profile for calibration
• Vessel heading & calibration of azimuth and cable
• Flow chart for azimuth and cable calibration
• Line up procedure
• SAILOR 900 VSAT fixed TX gain principle
6.2.1 Setup of a service profile for calibration
To prepare for calibration you can set up a service profile for calibration.
Use this approach if you do not want to enter the satellite parameters
directly on the calibration page.
To setup a service profile do as follows:
1. Select SETTINGS > Satellite profiles > New entry. Enter the
name of the satellite profile for calibration (a name of your own
choice).
2. Select the VSAT modem profile Service & Calibration from the
drop-down list.
Important
You must logon as an administrator to do a calibration.
See Administration on page 6-40.
