1. OVERVIEW OF SSAS
The IC-307 SSAS (Ship Security Alert System) Alert Unit connects to the Inmarsat-C MES
FELCOM 15/18 or the Inmarsat Mini-C FELCOM 16/19 for the purpose of alerting specified
addresses (for example, your ship’s company) that your ship is under attack by intruders.
The SOLAS Resolution XI-2/6 requires vessels of 500 GT or more constructed before 01
July 2004 to install an SSAS.
When your ship is under attack an SSAS report, which contains your ship’s name, MMSI
No., position, etc. is sent to up to five locations, specified by the ship’s captain or authorized
personnel. No audible or visible alarm is generated while the SSAS report is being
transmitted, to prevent discovery of the report by the intruders.
The SSAS is protected with a password to prevent unauthorized setting or testing of it by
other than the ship’s captain or authorized personnel.
Inmarsat System
Ship Name, MMSI No.,
Ship Position, etc.
USCG station

SSAS operation flow
1. Open the cover and press button one second.
SSAS report is immediately transmitted.
2. An LES sends acknowledgement to your ship.
3. SSAS report is automatically sent to multiple addresses if applicable.
4.Repeated transmission of the SSAS report begins. The interval at
which to transmit the SSAS report to each address can be specifed.
The SSAS report is continuously transmitted at the interval selected.
5. To cancel repeated transmission:
Terminal unit: Turn off the communication unit. Press and hold down
the button on the SSAS unit while turning on the communication unit.
Release the button when the test mode starts. (The FELCOM 16 goes
into the button test mode.)
Note that if there are any unsent messages they are sent and then the
system goes into normal operation; namely, the test mode is not
activated.
PC: Open the SSAS manager (see page 10) and input the command
TERMINATE SSAS ALERT.

2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Mounting
2.1.1 Junction box (for FELCOM 16/19)
The junction box IC-315 is required when installing the SSAS on the FELCOM 16/19; it is
already installed on the FELCOM 15/18.
Separate the junction box from a magnetic compass by the distances shown below to
prevent deviation to a magnetic compass.
IC-315
Standard compass: 1.0 m Standard compass: 0.90 m
Steering compass: 0.70 m Steering compass: 0.90 m
1. Remove four screws from the unit to separate the cover from the unit.
2. Fix the unit to the mounting location with four self-tapping screws (4x16, supplied).
3. Connect the cables appropriately referring to paragraph 2.2.1.

Junction box IC-315/318
The junction box is connected to the communication cnit with a 2 meter cable, with D-sub
connector (at the communication unit). Therefore, locate the junction box within two meters
of the communication unit.
3
2.1.2 SSAS alert unit
Separate the junction box from the SSAS alert unit by the distances shown below to prevent
deviation to a magnetic compass.
Standard compass: 0.70 m
Steering compass: 0.45 m
Locate the SSAS alert unit where it cannot be found by intruders. The location should be
known only by ship’s captain and authorized personnel.
Bulkhead mounting
1. Remove four screws from the unit to separate the bottom chassis from the top cover.
2. Fix the unit to the mounting location with four self-tapping screws (supplied).
3. The cable can be lead in from the bottom or the rear panel. For rear panel entrance,
change the clamp orientation as follows:
a) Unfasten three screws to remove the cable clamp.
b) Turn the clamp 90 degrees.
c) Refasten the clamp with three screws unfastened at step a) to fix the clamp.
Unfasten three screws.

2.2 Wiring
2.2.1 Junction box (for FELCOM 16/19)
Use the junction box IC-315 to connect the SSAS alert unit to the FELCOM 16, or the
junction box IC-318 to connect the SSAS alert unit to the FELCOM 19. Unfasten four
screws to remove the cover to connect cables to terminal board. For detailed wiring
information see the interconnection diagram.
For connecting the SSAS alert unit IC-307, use the JIS cable TTYCS-4 (or equivalent, see
next page for sectional view of this cable) or the CO-SPEVV-SB-C 0.2x5P. When using the
CO-SPEVV-SB-C 0.2x5P cable, replace the cable clamp with the cable clamp
16-018-6008-1, supplied with the junction box. For connecting the communication unit
IC-216, use cable 16S0344.
