SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Leave the equipment powered while
underway. (For antenna maintenance
and the like, turn off the power at the
mains switchboard.)
Distress cannot be communicated unless
the equipment is powered.
Do not disassemble or modify the
equipment.
Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can
result.
Turn off the power immediately at the
ship's mains switchboard if water
leaks into the equipment or the equip-
ment is emitting smoke or fire.
Continued use of the equipment can cause
fire or electrical shock. Contact your
dealer for advice.
Do not locate the terminal unit near
water or places subject to water splash.
Electrical shock, fire or personal injury may
resullt
Any repair work must be done by a
licensed radio technician.
Improper repair work can cause electrical
shock or fire.
Do not open the equipment.
Hazardous voltage which can
cause electrical shock, burn
or serious injury exists inside
the equipment. Only qualified
personnel should work inside
the equipment.
Hazardous microwave.
Do not approach within
60 cm of the antenna radome
when it is transmitting.
Microwave radiation can be
harmful to the human body,
particularly the eyes.
WARNINGWARNING
Radiation Level At
10W/m 0.6 m
2WARNING LABEL
A warning label is attached to the
terminal unit. Do not remove the label.
If the label is missing or damaged,
contact your dealer about replacement.
Name: Warning Label (2)
Type: 03-129-1001-1
Code No.: 100-236-741
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, do not
remove cover. No user-serviceable
parts inside.
Use the proper fuse.
Use of a wrong fuse can result in fire or
permanent damage to the equipment.

INMARSAT C SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Introduction
The Inmarsat C system provides worldwide telex and data transmission and
reception of written information to owners of an Inmarsat C transceiver or a
terrestrial telex network via satellite. Further, e-mail can be sent via the internet.
Communication mode is store-and-forward telex, which means all information
sent are first stored at an LES and then delivered to designated party.
An EGC (Enhanced Group Call) receiver is built in the FELCOM 15 to receive
the following types of messages, broadcast by LESs:
• SafetyNETTM-governments and maritime authorities can use this service to
distribute maritime safety information to ships within selected areas.
• FleetNETTM-commercial subscription organizations or shipping companies
can use this service to transmit trade information (for example, company
news or market prices) simultaneously to a selected group of ships, to
provide up-to-the-minute information.
• EGC system-related is sent by Inmarsat to certain shipping companies and
geographical areas.
FELCOM 15 allows you to make distress calls. They are given immediate priority
over all other calls, and are automatically routed to a land-based Rescue
Co-ordination Centre (RCC).
Besides its primary application of ship-shore, shore-ship or ship-ship
communications, the Inmarsat C service has also proved beneficial to trucking
firms who have found it indispensable for communicating with their vehicles. In
this manual, however, we will concentrate on ship applications, the main
application.

INMARSAT C SYSTEM
xi
The Inmarsat C system consists of the Operation Control Center (OCC), Satellite
Control Centers (SCC), Network Coordination Stations (NCS), Land Earth
Stations (LES) and Mobile Earth Stations (MES). The OCC, located at Inmarsat’s
London headquarters, coordinates a wide range of activities in the Inmarsat
system, including commissioning of mobile earth stations.
The Inmarsat C system divides the world into four regions and each region is
covered by its own satellite.
Inmarsat system satellites

AOR-West Inmarsat 3, F4 54.0°W
AOR-East Inmarsat 3, F2 15.5°W
IOR Inmarsat 3, F1 64.0°E
POR Inmarsat 3, F3 178.0°E
In each region there is one NCS and several LESs. The NCS keeps track of all
Inmarsat C transceivers in its region and broadcasts information such as
navigational warnings, weather reports and news. The LESs provide the link
between the MES and the terrestrial telecommunications networks via satellite.

NCS common channel The NCS has two major functions:
1) Transmitting information on a common channel.
2) Transmitting EGC messages to MESs.
NCS/LES signaling link This is the link between NCS and all LESs in its
region. All EGC messages pass through this link.
LES TDM channel This channel carries the circuit control signal for
MES and transmits messages from LES to MES.
MES message channel This channel carries messages from MES to LES.
MES signaling channel This channel transmits requests, distress alerts, data
reports, etc. In addition, it carries login and logout
from MES to NCS.
NCS/NCS signaling link This is the link between NCSs. It exchanges data
between MESs operating in different ocean regions.
MES interface The MES consists of the Data Circuit Terminating
Equipment (DCE) and the Data Terminal Equipment
(DTE). The DCE consists of the antenna unit, and
the DTE consists of a terminal unit, a keyboard and
printer.
Terrestrial network The major functions of the LESs are:
interface
1) Telex store-and-forward conversion
2) Handling EGC messages
3) Handling distress alerts
4) Data Reporting and Polling

Types of MES
There are three types of MES: class 1, class 2 and class 3. This FELCOM 15
is a class 2 MES.
Class 1: 1) Transmits messages to LES
2) Receives messages from LES
Class 2: 1) The functions of class 1 plus operation as an EGC receiver
when not transmitting or receiving.
2) EGC-only receiver
Class 3: The function of class 1 plus simultaneous operation as an
EGC-only receiver.
Peripheral Equipment
The following equipment can be additionally connected to the FELCOM 15.
Distress Message Controller (DMC-5)
The DMC-5 provides for transmission and monitoring of the distress alert. For
further details, refer to the operator’s manual of the DMC-5.
