You will need to provide the following for a safe and successful install:

1. Your own Wi-Fi access point as this does not come in our kit.

2. 3 Core Power cable must conform to marine standards. A cable similar to MMPRXCX 0.6/1 (1.2) kV 3G1.5 should be used for the power connection.

Specificationsfollowedshouldbe; STANDARDS International:IEC60092-350;IEC60092-353;IEC60092-360;IEC60228; IEC60332-1;IEC60332-3-22;IEC60754-1;IEC60754-2;IEC61034

3. Cat5E cable must conform to marine standards. A cable similar to BC- 10-021 Bergen Cabling - DNV Maritime LAN S/FTP CAT6A cable should be used for the ethernet connection.

Specificationsfollowedshouldbe; STANDARDS; EN50173-1;EN50288-10-1 ISO/IEC11801;IEC61156-5

4. Base to install the antenna, as described in section “Hydra Typical Mounting Example”, see page 6.

5. AC. Power: 100 – 240V, 50/60Hz, 2.1A. The AC power requires a plug that matches your standard AC power system. 6. Werecommendanon/offswitchbelowdeck.

7. Blue C Mobile is not responsible for manufacture and/or installation of mounting pedestal. Please see end of guide for a typical mounting example.

8. Antenna includes parts for above decks installation. Please note Blue C Mobile does not supply below decks equipment (i.e.routers,etc.)andisnotresponsibleforbelowdecksconfiguration.

Site Selection Aboard the Ship

What to take into consideration when selecting an appropriate position:

• Be aware of the surroundings while mounting the antenna. Any interference or blockage between the antenna and the satellite can cause signal strength loss or worse satellite connection failure. Therefore, securing the antenna in a position where minimal blockage, allowing a clear line – of – sight.

• Make sure that the cables running are safely secured to the ship and are not hanging freely with any exposed areas. Causing no harm to anyone or the cables themselves.

• The antenna must be a minimum of 5 meters away from the ship’s radar

• Theantennamustallowsignificantspaceforx–bandnavigationalradars,ataround2–4metres.

• Theantennamustalsoallowsignificantspaceforhighfrequencyantennasofaround2–4metres.

• The antenna must be at least 3 metres away from any other GPS antennas.

• Beware of a radiational hazard around the antenna. All personal must be at least a distance of 30 metres away from this zone.

Note: Hydra antenna must be out of the 30 degree zone of a typical radar system.

Microwave Radiation Zone. Please keep a safe distance of 30 meters away. Thank you.

USE OF THE PEDESTAL - CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITY

The following circumstances should be followed with the use of the pedestal:

• Make sure that the pedestal being used is robust enough that during ship movement or other factorssuchaswinddonotaffectitortheradome.

• Allow for easy and safe access to the radome if its mounted to the pedestal, meaning easier access for engineers.

• Allow easy access to plug in the power and ethernet cable into the radome.

USE OF CRIMP TOOL11

Begin by stripping back one side of the Cat5E cable using the cable stripper part of the crimp tool (1). Your cable should look something like (2).

Unwind the individual wires and straighten them out, ready to be inserted into the RJ45 connector. Be sure to follow the color guide on previous page. You must make sure that all the wires are of the same length and that they are 13 mm long (12.7 mm to be precise). You can reduce the size of the wires using scissors or the cable cutter part of the crimp tool.

Carefully placing them into the connector, making sure they keep the same order and reach the end of the connector. Note that the connector must be the right way up, which can be seen on previous page.

You are now ready to crimp the connector and wiring into place. Insert the connector while holding the cabletothecrimppartofthecrimptool.Itshouldfitnicely.

Please repeat the same steps for the reversed side of the cable.
