IntroductionYour Iridium equipment is a modular system that consists of atransceiver unit, control handset unit, antenna unit and an optionalanalogue PSTN telephone/PABX.
You can make and receive voice calls on the control handset and theanalogue PSTN telephone. You can connect up to four handsetsand one analogue PSTN telephone or PBX switchboard to thesystem.
The system provides intercom for internal calls between any controlhandsets and between the analogue telephone and a controlhandset.
Via the data port on the transceiver, the unit can be used as a datamodem for dial-up data calls, Internet access, SMS and E-mailmessaging.

2.3.1 Scanbus TerminationThe scanbus connecting the transceiver and the controlunits, has to be terminated. Only the first and last unit onthe bus shall have the termination in ON position.
The termination in the transceiver unit is done by settingthe jumper S3, located near the scanbus terminal on thePCB (see figure below). As default, the jumper S3 is setON.

Connecting more control unitsWhen connecting more than one control unit the extensionnumber for each control unit must be set prior to operation.The control units must have different extension numbers.Connect one control unit at a time and set the extensionnumber according to the Instruction manual.Set extension:Enter MENU, enter SETUP, Choose EXTENSION andenter a number from 1 to 9999. Press ok to store thesetting.
When configuring a system only including a transceiverunit and one control unit, no changes in the defaulttermination is needed. If the system includes more thanone control unit, it is needed to remove some of the defaultterminations. Below two examples of scanbus terminationis given, when the system includes several control units.

2.4 Where to Place the SatelliteTransceiver Box
Mount the satellite transceiver box in a place where it issheltered from the wind, protected from the salty andhumid sea atmosphere. The temperature must not ex-ceed 55° C.To ensure that the SIM card is easily accessible, do notplace the satellite transceiver box higher than 1.5 mabove the floor.
2.5 How to Mount the SatelliteTransceiver Box
Fix the satellite transceiver box to the wall using the fourscrews included in the package. The screws are posi-tioned as shown below:
0514
First tighten three of the screws. The wall surface shouldbe plane. If there is a discrepancy in planeness exceeding1 mm, level the discrepancy up by shims or washersunder the fourth screw before this is tightened.
2.6 How to Put on the Finishing CoverWhen the satellite transceiver box has been mounted onthe wall, put on the finishing cover.The small lid in the finishing cover should be shut. Pressthe hooks inside the finishing cover down on the two thinedges of the satellite transceiver box. While pressing, letthe two plastic spears inside the finishing cover into thetwo square holes of the satellite transceiver box.

InstallationIRIDIUM
Press hard on the spots shown in the picture below untila loud click is heard.
When putting on the finishing cover, do not use any tools– only your hands.
2.7 How to Insert the SIM CardFirst, open the small lid in the finishing cover protectingthe SIM card reader. Then go through each of the follow-ing steps:Unlock the SIM card holder by pushing the lock with yourfinger nail.
0514
Lift the SIM card holder so that the slot points upwards.
Insert the SIM card in the slot. Make sure that the cut-offcorner of the card is placed as shown in the picture.
Push the SIM card holder back down, and lock it bypushing the lock with a finger nail.
Finally, shut the lid again.

2.8 Optional SIM card ReaderOnly direct accessible on Mk3 units produced from August16, 2003. On older units the L-Band transceiver must bedismounted in order to install the SIM card.This additional SIM card reader can be used as a masterSIM card, thus allowing the crew to place individual cardsin the primary SIM card reader on the front.
The primary SIM card reader on the front has highestpriority and will thus disable the card in the optional cardreader when a card is inserted.
The optional card reader is ideal for Ship Security andAlert installations, where a permanent SIM card is required.
Remove the lid by removing the 2 umbraco screws. Afterinserting the card put the lid back on.
2.9 How to Remove the Finishing CoverYou may need to dismount the satellite transceiver boxfrom the wall, e.g. in connection with service.For access to the mounting screws, the finishing covercan be removed from the satellite transceiver box asfollows:
Put a screwdriver into the slot in the printed circuitboard beside the SIM card reader, and press gentlyto unhook the plastic spear.
While pressing with the screwdriver, lift up thesame side of the finishing cover slightly to loosen it.
Repeat this procedure on the other side of thefinishing cover.
You can now detach the finishing cover from thesatellite transceiver box by pulling it gently upwards.

2.10 Installation of the AntennaOne of the advantages of this equipment is the easy-to-handle, lightweight and rugged antenna. Because theIRIDIUM ® system is characterised by a good link margin,the antenna is a passive quadrifillar helix type, requiringno external power supply and consisting of only nonmovingparts.
The following figures show the antenna and the twodifferent mounting accessories available:The mounting bracket in fig. 1 can be used in two differentways - mounted on either a rail or a pole.
Important!To comply with FCC RF exposure regulations, the antennamust be installed in a location providing a minimum RFRadiation Safety Distance of 0.61m (2 feet).
Important!It is important that the antenna cable used has a maximum loss of 3dB @ 1.6GHz between antenna and transceiver.This antenna cable must be in one piece. Neglecting this will reduce the overall receiving/transmitting performanceat sea. If installation is not carried out in accordance with these guidelines, it will void the warranty of the product.

PrecautionsIn order to avoid interference or any other kind ofdisturbances from other systems on board, there are afew precautions to take note of:
RadarsAccording to any installation guide for radars it is of vitalimportance that any other units are kept outside theradiation beam of the radar. Please consult the illustrationdown below, showing what area to avoid:
36622A
10°
e.g. from the radarAvoid interference
10° 10°
Unobstructed view until10° below the horizon
GPSTests have shown that only in case very old GPS equipmentis used, a user may expect a minor influence on the GPSoriginated from the Iridium equipment. This can be avoidedby ensuring a distance of at least 1 m between the twoantennas.
Inmarsat equipmentThe operating frequency bands of the iridium and Inmarsatsystems are neighbours, and it is not in any way by anytechnical solution possible to completely separate thesebands. This means that interference from Inmarsat canbe expected, especially if the antennas are placed neareach other. The distance between the antennas Shouldbe as far as possible.
If in any way the user experiences trouble using Iridiumbecause of Inmarsat, a filter can be provided as an option.This filter is placed in a suitable place between theantenna and the transceiver. The filter is a passive typenot requiring external power. Please contact your dealerfor further information.

2.11 Analogue telephoneThe PSTN interface on the transceiver unit converts thewireless Iridium network into an ordinary telephone line.You can connect a standard analogue PSTN telephonedirectly to this interface for crew calling or as an officephone.With a PABX you can add more telephone lines formultiple phones ie. office network.
The interface handles the following tasks:• generates DC current to the phone/PABX in both idle
and active mode• generates ringing voltage• detects call requests from a phone/PABX• detects DTMF tones from a phone/PABX• outputs 12 or 16kHz billing tone for a PABX
Important: Do not connect the transceiver to a PSTNtelephone line on land.

2.12 Data InterfaceThe Iridium transceiver unit can be used as a 2.4kbpsdata modem.Connect a PC via a serial COM port to the 9 pole dataconnector using a standard serial data cable. The datainterface is a full RS232 interface with hardware flowcontrol.
With the SMS/Email client installed on a PC you canreceive and send Iridium SMS and short emails from thePC. The SMS/Email client is included in the transceiverpackage.
To use the transceiver as a data modem a dedicatedmodem software driver is needed. Please contact yourIridium Service Provider, who can supply you with theIridium Data Interface software.
