Safety summary
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all
phases of operation, service and repair of this equipment. Failure to
comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this
manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended
use of the equipment. Thrane & Thrane A/S assumes no liability for the
customer's failure to comply with these requirements.
Observe marked areas
Under extreme heat conditions do not touch areas
of the units that are marked with this symbol, as it
may result in injury.
Microwave radiation hazards
During transmission the antenna in this system radiates Microwave
Power. This radiation may be hazardous to humans close to the antenna.
When the system is powered, make sure that nobody gets closer than the
recommended minimum safety distance of 0.3 m (1 ft.).
Dangers de rayonnements micro-ondes
Lors de transmissions, l'antenne émet des rayons micro-ondes puissants.
Ce rayonnement peut être dangereux pour les personnes à proximité de
l'antenne. Lorsque le système est sous tension, assurez-vous que personne
ne s’approche à moins de 0,3 m (1 pi.) de l’antenne, la distance de sécurité
minimale recommandée.
Keep away from live circuits
Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers. Only qualified
maintenance personal must make component replacement and internal
adjustment. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even
with the cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and
discharge circuits before touching them.
Compass safe distance
Minimum safety distance: 5 m from the SAILOR 3027 mini-C terminal.

Introduction 1
Welcome
Congratulations on the purchase of your mini-C system!
With the mini-C system you can send and receive data via satellite through
the Inmarsat C network. Four variants of the mini-C system are described in
this manual:
• SAILOR 6120 SSA System
• SAILOR 6130 LRIT System
• SAILOR 6140 Maritime System
• SAILOR 6150 Non-SOLAS System
Each of these systems uses its own variant
of the SAILOR 3027 mini-C terminal.
This chapter has the following sections:
•System overview
•System units
•User interfaces
•The Inmarsat C services

Chapter 1: Introduction

System overview
The SAILOR 6120/30/40/50 mini-C system
The Inmarsat C satellite network is the link between the mini-C system and
the destination office. It uses four geostationary satellites to cover the
world. For each satellite there is an NCS, Network Coordination Station,
handling registration of the mobile unit (in this case the SAILOR 3027) in
the Inmarsat C system.
Each NCS is associated with a number of LESes, Land Earth Stations, which
handle the transmission between the mobile units and the destination
office.
The SAILOR 3027 can work as a standalone system automatically
transmitting data on the Inmarsat C network, or you can connect alarm
buttons and/or a computer through the SAILOR 6194 Terminal Control
Unit.

Introduction
The SAILOR 3027 can be connected to a SAILOR 6018 Message Terminal,
where you can read and write messages and send Distress alerts (SAILOR
6150 only). This communication is transmitted via the SAILOR 3027
to/from the Inmarsat C satellite network.
Scripting
The SAILOR 6194 Terminal Control Unit supports simple scripting, using
Lua language. Scripting can be used e.g. for automatically reacting on
events registered in the multipurpose input/output pins of the SAILOR
6194. With the Script option you can run custom-designed scripts
dedicated to specific applications with the SAILOR 3027.
Typically a script monitors and controls the SAILOR 3027 by using
commands via the command shell interface. The scripts are run from an SD
memory card installed in the SD card slot of the SAILOR 6194. For further
information on scripting, see the manual for the SAILOR 6194 Terminal
Control Unit.

Chapter 1: Introduction
4Systemunits
System units
The basic mini-C system consists of a power supply and the following units:
• SAILOR 3027 mini-C terminal.
Contains both transceiver, GPS receiver and
omnidirectional antenna for the Inmarsat C
system. Connects to other equipment, primarily
the SAILOR 6194, through a CAN interface
carrying both power and bi-directional
communication.
• SAILOR 6194 Terminal Control Unit (only included
with SAILOR 6120 and SAILOR 6150).
Enables you to connect the SAILOR 3027 with
other equipment, such as Distress buttons, SSA
(Ship Security Alert) buttons or a computer. The
SAILOR 6194 comes with the SAILOR 6120 and
SAILOR 6150 systems only, but is available for the
other systems as well.
For a more detailed description of the units, refer to the installation manual
for the SAILOR 6120/30/40/50 mini-C system and the manuals for the
respective units. See Related documents on page vi.

Introduction
User interfaces
The basic mini-C system does not have a dedicated user interface. To have
a user interface you must use one of the following options:
• a SAILOR 6194 Terminal Control Unit and a computer with the
easyMail application installed. For details, refer to SAILOR
6120/30/40/50, Installation manual [1].
• a SAILOR 6018 Message Terminal connected to the system through the
CAN interface. The SAILOR 6018 has a built-in user interface.
For overall system status, diagnostics and live logging you may use the
ThraneLINK Management System (TMA). For details on the TMA, see
the SAILOR 6120/30/40/50, Installation manual [1].

Chapter 1: Introduction
6 User interfaces
easyMail
easyMail is a user interface for the mini-C system. With easyMail you can
send and receive messages, view status and configure the system. To use
easyMail you must have a SAILOR 6194 Terminal Control Unit and a
computer with the easyMail application installed. For information on how
to get started with easyMail, see easyMail application on page 14.
For details on how to use easyMail, see To use easyMail on page 21.

Introduction
SAILOR 6018 user interface (for SAILOR 6150)
For the SAILOR 6150 Non-SOLAS system you can use the SAILOR 6018
Message Terminal. With the SAILOR 6018 Message Terminal you can send
and receive messages, send Distress alerts, view system status and
configure the system.
The SAILOR 6018 has a touch-screen for operating the system. You can
also use the SAILOR 6001 keyboard.
The SAILOR 6018 also has a Distress button, a Mute button, a Power button
and a Dim knob. For details on the buttons, see Buttons in the front panel
on page 23.
For details on how to use the SAILOR 6018, see SAILOR 6110 mini-C
GMDSS, User manual [2]. To get started with the mini-C system, see Get
started on page 13.
