Mount the antenna
The radome can now be installed on the ship with 4 stainless steel bolts fastened to the hull or
to a mast.
For information on mast mounting, see Antenna mast design on page 11.
To mount the antenna on the hull
Make sure the antenna has line of sight to the satellites. When the antenna is mounted directly
on the hull, it may be difficult to obtain line of sight, especially down to -60°, which is the
maximum rotation angle (pitch and roll) for the SAILOR Fleet One antenna.
Make sure to leave room for the connector and cable under the antenna.
Mount the antenna with 4 M6 bolts into the threaded bushings in the bottom of the antenna
(marked A in the drawing below).
The bolt thread must not penetrate more than 12 mm (or 8 turns of the bolt) - and not less
than 6 mm (or 4 turns of the bolt)- into the threaded part of the bushings in the radome.
Fasten the bolts with 7-8 Nm torque.
