IDP690 Installation Guide
IDP690 Installation Guide Installation of this unit should be undertaken in conjunction with our Fleet Operations Manager.
1. Equipment List
• • • • • •
1 x Pole Star IDP690 satellite transceiver 1 x 8 metre, 8 core cable, 20AWG with halogen-free, flame resistant PVC jacket 1 x stainless steel mounting bracket 4 x M4 screws and self locking nuts 1 x 2 A fuse and fuse holder 1 x 1 g Chemplex 825® silicon grease
You will need to supply:
• •
24V dc supply Self-amalgamating tape
2. Safety Notice The procedures in this guide must be observed during installation, operation, service and repair of this equipment. Failure to comply with these procedures violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of this equipment. Pole Star Space Applications Limited assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these procedures.
3. Unit Description The Pole Star IDP690 is a satellite transceiver with integral GPS receiver. In normal operation, it sends periodic position reports via the Inmarsat satellite constellation to Pole Star’s web server.

IDP690 Installation Guide
4. Installation For reference, the dimensions of the mounting bracket are shown in Figure 5. 1. Select a suitable location for the transceiver installation, taking into consideration the following: •
The transceiver requires a clear and unobstructed view of the sky in order to communicate with the Inmarsat and GPS satellite constellations.
•
Obstructions within the look angle range (see Figure 2) are unavoidable in most marine installations. To minimise obstruction, apply the following rule: Safe distance = 29 x diameter of obstruction
Example: For a pole of 10cm diameter, the safe distance is 29 x 0.1 = 2.9 metres. This rule ensures that the obstruction covers no greater than 2 degrees arc.
•
The transceiver must be a minimum of 2 metres from any other communication system and further if possible.
•
The transceiver should NOT be in the line of sight of any high-powered transmission equipment such as radar scanners.
Do not install the transceiver in any area designated as a ‘hazardous zone’.
•
• The length of the supplied transceiver cable is 8 m. If this cable is extended the total length should not exceed 30m.

2.
Select a suitable 24V dc power source.
3.
Remove the 2 A fuse from the fuse holder on the cable (store in a safe place).
4.
Securely fasten the mounting bracket to the vessel superstructure and mount the transceiver on the bracket using the 4 screws and nylock nuts provided. Use silicon grease to protect the connector pins, attach the connector to the base of the transceiver and seal it with self amalgamating tape.
5.
Run the 8-core cable from the transceiver to the 24V dc power source as shown in Figure 1.
6.
Connect the cable to the 24V dc power supply as shown in Figure 1.
7.
Replace the 2 Amp fuse in the fuse holder to power the unit up.
8.
When the transceiver is powered up the LED will illuminate constantly (see Figure 4).
Figure 3 - Connections to transceiver 9.
Once installed, allow approximately 10 minutes for the first position report to arrive.
10.
Confirm that your Fleet Operations Manager (or Pole Star distributor/person responsible for the operation of the system) has received the position report. Please Note: When the vessel is in port there is an increased probability of communication problems as there is likely to be a high concentration of interference sources from both land and vesselbased communications equipment. High power VHF, UHF and microwave equipment can all cause interference problems. Buildings, gantries and other large structures can also cause problems in port by blocking the line of sight to the satellite.

5. System Operation and Maintenance IDP690 operates automatically and does not require any user intervention in normal operation.
•
When it is powered up, the LED will be constantly illuminated (see Figure 4).
•
If the LED is flashing, please check your power supply is providing a constant 24V DC output.
•
If you have any problems with the IDP690, please contact your Fleet Operations Manager (or Pole Star distributor/person responsible for the operation of the system) giving details of the vessel name, ship owner/company, transceiver Mobile ID (see Figure 4) and the nature of the problem.
Note: The IDP690 must NOT be painted as this may inhibit transmission/reception of satellite signals.
