1.       Scope and Purpose
         This document will describe the thoughts behind the CE conformity and approval of the
         SAILOR 600 Viasat Ka (part number 407060D) and 900 Viasat Ka (part number 407090F)
         VSAT antenna system.

         The purpose of this document is to keep the thoughts behind the CE-conformity and the
         approval process of the 407060D and 407090F in one document, as the complete evidence
         consists of several reports from several CE evaluations of different products.

                                                      99-164707-A CE approval fundamentals


3.     SAILOR 600/900 Viasat Ka evaluation
       pTRIA product differs from the other SAILOR VSAT models, primarily by the PIM (pTRIA
       Interface Module) vs the VIM (VSAT Interface Module) and the addition of the PIU (pTRIA
       Interface Unit) between the ACU and any different ADUs.

       Based on the above, following interpretation and assumptions are create (in relation to Low
       Voltage Directive, LVD, and Radio Equipment Directory, RED, with respect to standards
       EN/IEC 60950-1, EN/IEC 60950-22 or EN/IEC 62368-1:2014):

       VIM has identical circuitry with VIM, which was evaluated in the SAILOR 900 HP evaluation
       and SAILOR 600Ku.

       PIU is deem compliant to the above mention EU directives and standards, based on the fact, that
       the electrical behaviour between ACU and VIM (located in the ADU as first entry point from
       the ACU). Furthermore is the circuitry in the PIU very simple, consisting of an input connector
       (N-type connector), and solid cupper trace on the PWB, and an output connector (N-type
       connector).
       The enclosure of the PIU is identical to the GMU, besides some minor changes to the back panel.
       Due to this, the applicable IP rating is similar to the GMU, IP class 3X verified by EN/IEC
       60950-1 clause 4.6.


3.1.   Required evaluations
       To show compliance for LVD and RED, the ACU was originally evaluated, as described in
       document: 99-153805-A, while the AC/DC converter in the ACU was evaluated as described in
       99-153806-A, in accordance to EN/IEC 60950-1.

       Furthermore, was the ACU evaluated in accordance with EN/IEC 62368-1 as described in 99-
       153851-B.

       For evidence of further compliance to RED (in terms for EMC and RF matters), Viasat provides
       the required reports of the evaluation of the pTRIA and SPOCK modules.
       Cobham SATCOM submit evaluations of the two complete systems in terms of EMC. Test is
       conduct by CTC advanced, Saarbrücken in Germany.

3.2.     Schematics
         As described in Schematic 2, the N-connector in the PIM, supplying the ADU, saying that the
         full current for the ADU flows through the N-connector and its associated circuitry. As noted
         below in 3.2.1, the circuit (the PIM hot-swap) defines the limit of the current available in the
         rest of the modules in the ADU, and hence any further testing is not required, as previous product
         evaluations includes the required tests.


3.2.1.   PIM, hot-swap

         The PIM hot-swap circuitry, in which the highest current available is present through
         Q4600. This circuitry is close to 100% identical with the VIM.




         Schematic 1


         The only major difference is the current limit, which is reduced to 3 Adc in PIM.

3.2.2.   PIU and SPOCK module

         The PIU is connected between the ACU and the ADU, to enable the communication to
         the mpTRIA in the ADU. The connections on a higher level is illustrate in below block
         diagram.
