Introduction
Introduction 1
This chapter introduces the SAILOR 6120/30/40/50 systems and briefly
describes the units. It has the following sections:
•SAILOR 6120/30/40/50 system overview
•Units in the system

Chapter 1: Introduction

1.1 SAILOR 6120/30/40/50 system overview
This manual describes four different systems:
• SAILOR 6120 SSA System
• SAILOR 6130 LRIT System
• SAILOR 6140 Maritime System
• SAILOR 6150 Non-SOLAS System
The following sections describe each of the systems and each of the units that
are part of these systems.
1.1.1 SAILOR 6120 SSA System
The drawing below shows an example of a SAILOR 6120 SSA System.
The SSA (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.

Introduction
The SAILOR 6120 has three SSA buttons (two alarm buttons and one test
button), which connect to the SAILOR 3027 SSA Terminal through the THRANE
6194 Terminal Control Unit. The CAN interface, which connects the SAILOR
3027 SSA Terminal to the THRANE 6194, also provides the power for the
THRANE 6194.
1.1.2 SAILOR 6130 LRIT System
The drawing below shows an example of a SAILOR 6130 LRIT System.
Ships that are subject to the LRIT (Long Range Identification and Tracking)
regulation must report their position to their Flag Administration at least 4
times a day.
In addition to the basic Mini-C functions listed in the next section, the
SAILOR 6130 LRIT System complies with the LRIT regulation and automatically
reports the position of the ship every 6 hours.
When used with a THRANE 6194 Terminal Control Unit, the SAILOR 6140 can be
connected to a computer using either the LAN interface or the RS-232
interface (e.g. for software update).

The drawing below shows an example of a SAILOR 6140 Maritime System.
The SAILOR 6140 is a basic Mini-C System that can be used for tracking and
polling, messaging, logging and EGC (Enhanced Group Call).
When used with a THRANE 6194 Terminal Control Unit, the SAILOR 6140 can be
connected to a computer using either the LAN interface or the RS-232
interface, and to other equipment using the I/O interface of the THRANE 6194.

1.1.4 SAILOR 6150 Non-SOLAS System
The drawing below shows an example of a SAILOR 6150 Non-SOLAS System.
In addition to the basic Mini-C functions listed in the previous section, the
SAILOR 6150 can be used in non-SOLAS Distress systems to send Distress
alerts using the SAILOR 6108 Non-SOLAS Alarm Panel or SAILOR 3042E.
In non-SOLAS Distress systems a user interface is mandatory. You can use the
easyMail application installed on a computer or on a SAILOR 6007 Message
Terminal, or you can use a SAILOR 6006 Message Terminal, which has its own
built-in user interface. See Configuration tools on page 48.

1.2.1 SAILOR 3027 Mini-C Terminal
The SAILOR 3027 comes in different variants for different systems. The
functions are different for each variant but the description below applies to all
off these four variants:
• SAILOR 3027 SSA Terminal
• SAILOR 3027 LRIT Terminal
• SAILOR 3027 Maritime Terminal
• SAILOR 3027 Non-SOLAS Terminal
The SAILOR 3027 Mini-C Terminal is a mobile satellite terminal for the
Inmarsat C 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. The antenna has an elevation angle of -15°, ensuring optimum
communication even in rough weather.

Introduction
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 Installing the SAILOR
3027 on page 14.
1.2.2 THRANE 6194 Terminal Control Unit
The THRANE 6194 is used for the following purposes:
• For connecting
• covert alert buttons for use in Ship Security Alert (SSA) systems such as
SAILOR 6120, or
• SAILOR 6108 Non-SOLAS Alarm Panels e.g. in Non SOLAS Distress
systems (SAILOR 6150).
• For connecting other equipment that has Ethernet or RS-232 interface with
the SAILOR 3027 terminal, which has a CAN interface.
The power for the THRANE 6194 is supplied through the CAN interface
(extended input range 9-32 V DC).
