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 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
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.

1.1 SAILOR 6110 system overview
The drawing below shows an example of a SAILOR 6110 system.
The SAILOR 6110 is a Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS) used for
sending and receiving messages and distress alerts through the Inmarsat C
satellite network.
Each unit is briefly described in the following sections. For a description of the
services supported by the Inmarsat C system and the SAILOR 6110 system, see

Introduction
1.2 SAILOR 3027 GMDSS Terminal
The SAILOR 3027 is a GMDSS approved Inmarsat GMDSS Terminal for the
SAILOR 6110 system. It has a built-in LNA/HPA and an omni-directional
antenna designed to operate on vessels. The housing is sealed and contains
no user serviceable parts.
The SAILOR 3027 is very compact and is designed to operate in extreme
weather conditions. It has a highly sensitive built-in GPS module with 50
channels (Galileo ready). The antenna has an elevation angle of -15°,
ensuring optimum communication even in rough weather.
The SAILOR 3027 connects to other equipment using a CAN bus interface,
capable of carrying power as well as bi-directional communication.
For information on how to install the SAILOR 3027, see Mounting the SAILOR
3027 on page 16.

Chapter 1: Introduction
4 SAILOR 6006 Message Terminal
1.3 SAILOR 6006 Message Terminal
The SAILOR 6006 Message Terminal is a GMDSS approved message terminal
for the SAILOR 6110 system. With the SAILOR 6006 you can send distress alerts,
read and write messages, monitor system status, change the configuration
and test the system. The SAILOR 6006 has a Distress button for sending
distress alerts.
The SAILOR 6006 has a touch-screen interface and can be operated without a
keyboard. However, a keyboard is mandatory in a GMDSS system.
A CAN interface connects to the SAILOR 3027 GMDSS Terminal and an
Ethernet interface connects to other equipment, such as alarm panels.
For information on how to install the SAILOR 6006, see the installation manual
enclosed with the SAILOR 6006 [2].

Introduction
1.4 SAILOR 6081 PSU and Charger
The SAILOR 6081 PSU and Charger is used to supply power to the units in the
SAILOR 6110 GMDSS System. It has five DC outputs of 24 V DC to 31.5 V DC
(nominal 29 V DC) each and provides 300 W continuous (370 W peak). It also
has a 15 V DC output, which should be used to supply power to the
GMDSS Terminal through the CAN bus.
The SAILOR 6081 PSU and Charger provides automatic switch-over to a
connected backup battery if 115/230 VAC is not available. It also has a charger
function for charging the battery when 115/230 VAC is available. Note that a
backup battery is mandatory in the GMDSS System.
On the SAILOR 6006 you can read status information such as AC alarm,
backup battery status and other status information from the SAILOR 6081,
through the Ethernet connection.
For further information on the SAILOR 6081, see the manual enclosed with the
SAILOR 6081 [4].
Note
If you are using a different type of power supply than the
SAILOR 6081, you must install a voltage monitor.

1.5 SAILOR 1252 Printer
The SAILOR 1252 printer is a standard matrix printer which connects to one of
the USB connectors on the SAILOR 6006. In the SAILOR 6110 system it is
primarily used to print SafetyNet EGCs with Distress priority.
1.6 SAILOR 6197 Ethernet switch
The Ethernet switch connects the system units that
have an Ethernet interface.
In the SAILOR 6110 system, the local network is
primarily used for monitoring purposes, alarm
reporting and service.

Introduction
1.7 SAILOR 6101/6103 Alarm Panel
In addition to the Distress button on the SAILOR 6006, you must have one
more distress button in order to comply with GMDSS regulations. For this
purpose you can use an alarm panel. Two types of alarm panel are available
from Thrane & Thrane:
•SAILOR 6101 Alarm Panel
This SAILOR 6101 has one Distress button, used for remote initiation of
distress alert transmissions and for indication of incoming distress and
urgency messages on Inmarsat-C GMDSS systems.
•SAILOR 6103 Multi Alarm Panel
Like the SAILOR 6101, the SAILOR 6103 is also used for remote initiation of
distress alert transmissions and for indication of incoming distress and
urgency messages, but the SAILOR 6103 is designed for use with both VHF,
MF/HF and Inmarsat-C and has 3 Distress buttons, one for each system.
For further information on the SAILOR 6101/6103, see the manual enclosed
with your alarm panel [3].

Chapter 1: Introduction
8 SSA option
1.8 SSA option
The Ship Security Alert System provides ships with alarm buttons, which can
be activated in case of a piracy or terrorist attack. The alarm is a covert signal
that has no sound and no flashing lights, so it is not seen nor heard by any
intruders on board the ship.
The SSA option consists of three SSA buttons (two alarm buttons and one test
button). It connects to the SAILOR 6110 system through the THRANE 6194
Terminal Control Unit. The CAN interface, which connects the SAILOR 6110
system to the THRANE 6194, also provides the power for the SSA option.
The GMDSS Terminal must be configured with the recipient(s) of the Ship
Security Alert. For further information on the SSA option, refer to the manual
for the THRANE 6194 [6].

Unpacking and activation
Unpacking and activation 2
This chapter describes initial inspection of the SAILOR 6110 system and
provides information on how to register the system for service activation. It
has the following sections:
•Initial inspection
•Registering your SAILOR 3027
2.1 Initial inspection
Inspect the shipping carton immediately upon receipt for evidence of damage
during the transport. If the shipping carton is severely damaged or water
stained, request the carrier's agent to be present when opening the carton.
Save the carton and packing material for future use.
Check that the contents of the shipment are as listed in the enclosed packing
list. If the contents are incomplete, if there is mechanical damage or defect, or
if the system components do not work properly, notify your dealer.
After you unpack the system do as follows:
• Inspect the system thoroughly for hidden damaged or loose components or
fittings.
• Inspect the cable harness for stress, loose or broken wires, and broken
cable ties.
• Examine all the components for loose or missing hardware.
• Fasten any loose hardware.
Warning! To avoid hazardous electric shock, do not perform
electrical tests if there is any sign of shipping damage to
the outer cover. Read the safety summary at the front of
this manual before installing or operating the SAILOR 6110
system.

2.2 Registering your SAILOR 3027
2.2.1 Service Activation Registration Form
Before using the SAILOR 3027 GMDSS Terminal on the Inmarsat C system you
must register the terminal to the system.
For this purpose, use the SARF (Service Activation Registration Form) supplied
with the SAILOR 3027. A copy of page 1 of the SARF is shown in the next page.
As a guide, some of the most important fields are filled in with red color.
The SARF for registration of Maritime MES (Mobile Earth Station - in this case
the SAILOR 3027) can also be found on www.inmarsat.com/Support under
Activation, including notes on how to complete the maritime form.
The Service Activation Registration Form contains different abbreviations that
are explained here.
The SAILOR 3027 must be registered at either a PSA company or directly to the
ISP. A PSA is a company handling the activation of Inmarsat mobiles and is
short for Point of Service Activation. ISP is the company that provides the
Inmarsat service and is short for Inmarsat Service Provider. In many cases the
PSA and ISP is the same company that also operates a Land Earth Station
(LES). The local PSA or ISP can be obtained by following the guidelines in the
registration form.
The Service Activation Registration Form also includes information needed to
find out how to pay the bill for the Inmarsat C service. This payment will be
made directly to the Accounting Authority. In many cases the Accounting
Authority (AA) is also the same company as the Inmarsat Service Provider
(ISP).
In addition to the general information like name, address, etc. the ISN of the
SAILOR 3027 must be specified. The ISN is found on the Delivery Note and on
the label in the bottom of the SAILOR 3027 GMDSS Terminal.
Note
In most cases the distributor registers the system for the customer.
