1. OVERVIEW OF SSAS
The IC-307 SSAS (Ship Security Alert System) Alert Unit connects to the Inmarsat-C MES
FELCOM 15 or the Inmarsat Mini-C FELCOM 16 for the purpose of alerting specified
addresses (for example, your ship’s company) that your ship is under attack by intruders.
The SOLAS Resolution XI-2/6 requires vessels of 500 GT or more constructed before 01
July 2004 to install an SSAS.
When your ship is under attack an SSAS report, which contains your ship’s name, MMSI
No., position, etc. is sent to up to five locations, specified by the ship’s captain or authorized
personnel. No audible or visible alarm is generated while the SSAS report is being
transmitted, to prevent discovery of the report by the intruders.
The SSAS is protected with a password to prevent unauthorized setting or testing of it by
other than the ship’s captain or authorized personnel.

SSAS operation flow
1. Open the cover of the button and then press the button.
(This is a latch-type button; hit and release to activate the button.)
2. If addresses have been preset, the SSAS report is sent to one
address 30 seconds after the button is activated.
(Max. 5 addresses)
(You may cancel transmission of the SSAS report by pressing the
button again with 30 seconds of the initial press.)
3. An LES sends acknowledgement to your ship.
4. Steps 2-3 and are repeated in case of multiple addressees.
5. Continuous transmission of the SSAS report begins.
(The interval at which to transmit the SSAS report to each address
can be specified. The SSAS report is continuously transmitted
while the button is ON, at the interval selected.)

6. To stop transmission, press the button again to deactivate it.
(This is only possible in the SSAS manager mode. See
paragraph 3.1.)

2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Mounting
2.1.1 Junction box (for FELCOM 16)
The junction box IC-315 is required when installing the SSAS on the FELCOM 16; it is
already installed on the FELCOM 15.
Separate the junction box from a magnetic compass by the distances shown below to
prevent deviation to a magnetic compass.
Standard compass: 1.0 m
Steering compass: 0.7 m
1. Remove four screws from the unit to separate the cover from the unit.
2. Fix the unit to the mounting location with four self-tapping screws (4x16, supplied).
3. Connect the cables appropriately referring to paragraph 2.2.1.
120 ± 0.5
70
± 0.5
Junction box IC-315
The junction box is connected to the communication unit with a 2 meter cable, with D-sub
connector (at the communication unit). Therefore, locate the junction box within two meters
of the communication unit.

7
2.1.2 SSAS alert unit
Separate the junction box from the SSAS alert unit by the distances shown below to prevent
deviation to a magnetic compass.
Standard compass: 0.70 m
Steering compass: 0.45 m
Locate the SSAS alert unit where it cannot be found by intruders. The location should be
known only by ship’s captain and authorized personnel.
Bulkhead mounting
1. Remove four screws from the unit to separate the bottom chassis from the top cover.
2. Fix the unit to the mounting location with four self-tapping screws (supplied).
3. The cable can be lead in from the bottom or the rear panel. For rear panel entrance,
change the clamp orientation as follows:
a) Unfasten three screws to remove the cable clamp.
b) Turn the clamp 90 degrees.
c) Refasten the clamp with three screws unfastened at step a) to fix the clamp.
Unfasten three screws.

1. Cut out the mounting position referring to the outline drawings at the back of this
manual.
2. Fix the unit to the fixture with four pan head screws (supplied).
3. Fasten the fixture with the unit to the mounting location with four self-tapping screws
(supplied).
4. Attach switch cover as shown above.

2.2 Wiring
2.2.1 Junction box (for FELCOM 16)
Use the junction box IC-315 to connect the SSAS alert unit to the FELCOM 16. Unfasten
four screws to remove the cover to connect cables to terminal board. For detailed wiring
information see the interconnection diagram.
For connection, use the JIS cable TTYCS-4 (or equivalent, see next page for sectional view
of this cable) or the CO-SPEVV-SB-C 0.2x5P. When using the CO-SPEVV-SB-C 0.2x5P
cable, replace the cable clamp with the cable clamp 16-018-6008-1, supplied with the
junction box.
