Installing Ship Security Alert (SSA) buttons

Placing the SSA buttons

To fulfil the IMO requirement on covert activation, the alert button installation must be concealed using appropriate covert installation techniques. One of the alert buttons must be placed on the ship’s navigation bridge. To make testing easier we recommend installing the test button close to one of the covert alert buttons, but in such a way that the constant light does not disturb navigation (night sight). The test button must be installed where it is easy to test the SSA installation at regular intervals.

Installing the SSA buttons

When the place for installation is determined, do as follows:

1. Drill a hole with a diameter of 16 mm.

2. Place the mounting-nut and the large piece of heat-shrink 19x30 mm

on the back of the hole.

Installation

3. Slip the wires from the covert alert button through the hole, the

mounting nut, the heat-shrink, and all the way to the Terminal Control Unit.

The 19x30 mm heat-shrink is for cable strain relief on the back of the button.

4. Tighten the mounting nut.

5. Bend the cable in an S shape on the side of the switch.

Chapter 3: Connecting cables

Power control (X1)

By default, when the system is powered on, the Terminal Control Unit and the connected mini-C Terminal are always on. If you want to change this behaviour, you must configure the X1 connector using a software command (Constant_On 0). For details see Setting up software controlled power management on page 40.

Important

If you have configured X1 with the command Constant_On 0, you cannot switch on the system until you connect pin 1 and 2 in X1 with a switch.

Remote on/standby

When X1 is configured for power management, Pin 1 and 2 in the connector X1 can be used for switching between on and standby on the Terminal Control Unit and the mini-C Terminal. Connect a switch between the two pins if you want to be able to set the Terminal Control Unit and the miniC Terminal in standby mode independently of the rest of the system.

• Open contact: The Terminal Control Unit and the mini-C Terminal are in

standby mode.

• Closed contact: The Terminal Control Unit and the mini-C Terminal are

always on.

Pin 3 and 4 are for future use.
