SYSTEM SETUP AND TEARDOWN

R

CAUTION

Avoid placing BGAN terminal near any source of heat such as 
an open flame or cigarettes.

2.2.2

Dimension and Weight Information

Refer to 

Table 1-1

 for the dimensions and weights.

2.2.3

Power Requirements

Refer to 

Table 1-1

 for power requirements. Refer to 

Paragraph 1.9

 for the various optional power cables available.

2.2.4

Grounding

Neither the RF-7800B-VU104 or RF-7800B-DU024 require mounting on a ground plane for performance.

2.3

UNPACKING AND REPACKING

Equipment is packed in corrugated boxes. A two-piece foam enclosure protects the equipment against corrosion and 
rough handling. Boxes and packing materials should be retained in case the equipment is reshipped.

2.3.1

Unpacking

Perform the following procedure to unpack the BGAN terminal:

a.

Inspect the exterior of the box for signs of damage during shipment. Document any problems and report 

them to the proper authority.

b.

Move the boxed equipment to the general location where it is to be installed.

c.

After removing the equipment, check the contents against the packing slip to see that the shipment is 

complete. Report discrepancies to Harris Product Service Department

(telephone: 585-244-5830, toll free: 866-264-8040, web: 

https://tcpremier.harris.com/

).

2.3.2

Repacking

Perform the following procedure to repack the BGAN terminal:

a.

Use the original box, if it was retained. If not, use a box that allows at least three inches of clearance on 

all sides of the BGAN terminal components.

b.

Use the original packing material, if it was retained. If not, use foam packing material to fill the space 

between the BGAN terminal components and the box. Surround the entire unit with several inches of 

foam packing material.

c.

Use a good quality packing tape (or straps) to seal the box after closing.

2.4

BGAN TERMINAL SETUP

After receiving the USIM card from your BGAN service provider, install the card into the BGAN terminal.
