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 customers failure to comply with these requirements.
GROUND THE EQUIPMENT
To minimise shock hazard, the equipment chassis and cabinet must be connected to an
electrical ground and the cable instuctions must be followed.
DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE
Do not operate the equipment in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of
any electrical equipment in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS
Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers. Component replacement and
internal adjustment must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Do not replace
components with the power cable connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous
voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always
disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them.
DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE
Do not attempt internal service or adjustments unless another person, capable of
rendering first aid resuscitation, is present.
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY EQUIPMENT
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not substitute parts or
perform any unauthorized modification to the equipment.
COMPASS SAFE DISTANCE
Minimum safety distance of 50 cm from the TT-3606E Message Terminal

Installation Quick system connect and checkout
1.1 Quick system connect and checkout
The following brief outline may be used to get the TT-3606E
Message terminal up and running
•Unpack system components
•Connect the keyboard to the TT-3606E
•Connect a DC power source to the TT-3606E
The TT-3606E should then start the actual application program.
Please refer the manual for the specific application program.

Initial inspection Installation
1.2 Initial inspection
WARNING
To avoid hazardous electrical shock, do not perform electrical
tests if there is any sign of shipping damage to any portion of the
front or rear panel or the outer cover. Read the safety summary
at the front of this manual before installing or operating the
3606E Message Terminal.
Inspect the shipping carton immediately upon receipt for evidence of
mishandling during the transit. If the shipping carton is severely
damaged or water stained, request that the carrier's agent be
present when opening the carton. Save the carton packing material
for future use.
Contents of the shipment should be as listed in the enclosed packing
list. If the contents are incomplete, if there is mechanical damage or
defect, or if the 3606E Message Terminal does not work properly,
notify your dealer.
After you unpack the 3606E Message Terminal, inspect it thoroughly
for hidden damage and loose components or fittings.
Inspect the cable harness for stress, loose or broken wires, or
broken cable tires.
Examine all the components for loose or missing hardware.
Tighten all loose hardware.
19Mar07 Page 1-3

Installation Storage
1.3 Storage
The 3606E may be stored or shipped in temperatures within the
limits -40° C to +80° C. It is advisable to protect 3606E from extreme
temperature variation which can cause excessive condensation. It is
recommended that the 3606E is unpacked immediately on delivery.
Page 1-4 19Mar07

Repacking for shipment Installation
1.4 Repacking for shipment
The shipping carton for the 3606E has been carefully designed to
protect the Message Terminal and its accessories during shipment.
This carton and its associated packing material should be used
when repacking for shipment. Attach a tag indicating the type of
service required, return address, model number and full serial
number. Mark the carton FRAGILE to ensure careful handling.
If the original shipping carton is not available, the following general
instructions should be used for repacking with commercially
available material.
1. Wrap the 3606E in heavy paper or plastic. Attach a tag indicating
the type of service required, return address, model number and
full serial number.
2. Use a strong shipping container, e.g. a double walled carton of
160 kg test material.
3. Protect the front- and rear panel with cardboard and insert a 7
cm to 10 cm layer of shock absorbing material between all
surfaces of the equipment and the sides of the container.
4. Seal the shipping container securely.
5. Mark the shipping container FRAGILE to ensure careful
handling.

Installation Cabling
1.5 Cabling
For any installation it is required that all attached cables are shielded
and equipped with shielded connectors, which are properly
connected to the shield of the cable. Furthermore every shield
should have a low impedance connection to an electrical ground.
Before using the TT-3606E Message Terminal for the first time
check out that all cables are correctly wired and fastened.
Please notice that the DC-input range applies to the DC voltage
measured at the pin's on the power connector on the 3606E. This
means that the power cable characteristic should be taken into
account. The cable should allow the DC, measured at the input pin's
on the 3606E power connector, to stay within limits even though it
has to carry a current of 3 A.
Please notice, that the wires must be properly connected in the
connector and all pin’s for each power input must be connected to
the respective wire.
A cable using 2 mm2 (AWG 14) wire's of length 4 m fulfils the
requirements.
Please notice, that the cable connections must be properly installed.

Mounting Installation
1.6 Mounting
The TT-3606E Message Terminal may be mounted in several ways.
If the mounting bracket is not used, the TT-3606E Message
Terminal may be flush mounted in a consol by using the 4 screw
holes on the rear.
The mounting bracket may be used either to mount the TT-3606E
Message Terminal on a horizontal surface or a vertical surface. In
both cases the angle can be adjusted in steps of 7.5°. This is done
by loosening the hand wheels slightly and then move the upper part
of the TT-3606E Message Terminal into the wanted angle. Please
remember to tighten the handwheels again.
When assembling the mounting bracket together with the TT-3606E
Message Terminal it is important that the small indications on the
cylinders are in-line with the indications on the rear of TT-3606E
Message Terminal.
When installing the TT-3606E on a vertical surface it is necessary to
mount the mounting bracket opposite the way it is mounted for
horizontal installation.
Please refer to the chapter describing the detailed mechanical
outlines of the TT-3606E Message Terminal and mounting bracket.
