Introduction 1

The Alarm Panel

The Alarm Panel is used for sending distress alerts and showing visible and
audible indication of incoming distress messages. Normally the Alarm Panel
is installed at the conning position on the bridge.

The distress buttons are protected by spring loaded covers to avoid
unintended activation of a distress alert. The distress buttons must be
pressed for 3 to 6 seconds before the distress alert is initiated.

The Alarm Panel is supplied with power through a DC supply (10.8 ­32 V DC). The DC input is protected against reverse polarity.

In Inmarsat C GMDSS systems it is mandatory to have two
distress buttons. If you have a Mini-C GMDSS system, only one
alarm panel is required, because the Message Terminal, which is
part of the system, has a distress button.

1111

Single or Multi Alarm Panel

There are two variants of the Alarm Panel: The SAILOR 6101 and the
SAILOR 6103.

• The SAILOR 6101 Alarm Panel has one distress button and can send
distress alerts and receive information on incoming distress messages
via the Inmarsat C satellite system only.

• The SAILOR 6103 Multi Alarm Panel has three distress buttons and can
send distress alerts via Inmarsat C, and distress calls via VHF and MF/HF.
It can also receive information on incoming distress messages.

SAILOR 6101 Alarm Panel

The SAILOR 6101 Alarm Panel is dedicated to Inmarsat C. It has one
distress button for sending distress alerts over the Inmarsat C satellite
network.

The display shows distress alert transmission in progress and distress alerts
received on the Inmarsat C network.

Through the Ethernet connector you can interface to two Inmarsat C
systems.

If a distress alert is initiated on a system with duplicated units,
only one of the units will send the alarm. The display shows a
marker next to the name of the selected unit.

LAN (PoE) interface

Overview

There is one Ethernet (10/100 MB) connector on the rear panel of the
Alarm Panel, used for communicating with the connected equipment, such
as a Message Terminal, VHF and MF/HF equipment.

Only connect units that are part of the system. For safety
and compliance reasons, the Ethernet interface is restricted
to internal communication in an isolated system.

The interface supports PoE (Power over Ethernet), which means the
Alarm Panel can be powered from a PoE device through the Ethernet. When
you are using PoE to power the Alarm Panel, the DC input is disabled and
the DC power cable is optional. (may be used for backup).
