Installation of the ADU (S600 antenna)
98-175666-C Chapter 2: Installation 2-22
2.4.1 To install the ADU
Prerequisites
• Ensure that the crane hook has a closing mechanism to prevent accidental
slippage of the lifting straps.
• Check for potential interference, read more in Interference from radar, GPS/GNSS,
L-band and other transmitters on page 2-13.
• Install the ADU at a location where vibrations are limited to a minimum.
• Important: Maintain the vertical orientation of the ADU center line.
• Always use all 4 bolts when installing the ADU.
You do not need to align the ADU with the bow-to-stern line of the ship. When
configuring the SAILOR XTR GX-R2 you make an automated azimuth calibration to
obtain the correct azimuth of the ADU.
• Ensure that the crane hook has a closing mechanism to prevent accidental
slippage of the lifting straps.
Installation procedure
To install the ADU, do as follows:
1. Install the mast with the mast flange and have the 4 M10 bolts ready.
2. Open the ADU cardboard packaging.
3. Remove the foam protection layer at the top.
4. Take the 4 lifting straps and connect them to the crane hook.
5. Attach two tag lines of suitable length to the harness and man them.
6. With a crane lift the ADU off the packaging and move it on top of the mast. Maintain
