Introduction
General Description
The GMDSS Distress Alarm Panel is used for remote initiation of distress alert transmissions
and visible and audible indication of incoming distress and urgency calls on VHF, MF/HF,
and Inmarsat-C. Normally it is installed on the bridge at the conning position.
The Alarm Panel contains three main sections, intended for connection to System 5000 VHF,
System 5000 MF/HF equipment, and Inmarsat-C SES equipment. All sections work independently and all control signals are galvanically isolated by opto-couplers.
For Inmarsat-C and VHF, the Alarm Panel has duplicated connections allowing two units of
each system to be supported simultaneously. Each section includes a push button for
distress alert initiation, and a distress annunciator for indication of distress alert transmission
in progress or distress or urgency calls received. Additionally there is an annunciator for
indication of equipment type. This is switched on when the appropriate transceiver has been
sensed by the Alarm Panel.
If a distress alarm is initiated on a system with duplicated units, only one of the units will
send the alarm. The selected unit is indicated on the display.
To protect against inadvertent activation the distress buttons are protected by spring loaded
transparent covers. A button must be kept pressed for 5 seconds before the distress alert is
initiated, during which time the audible alarm is beeping and the distress button is flashing.
The Alarm Panel is supplied from 24 V DC supply voltage (21 V to 32 V). The input is
reverse polarity protected.

Test push button for verification of indicators, audible alarm and push buttons.
All distress functions work fully independent of each other.
All control signals are galvanically isolated by opto-couplers.
The indication line in the display goes off if the connection to the associated transceiver is
broken. When the connection is re-established it may take up to 20 seconds before it is
indicated in the display.

Operation
Distress
Sending Distress Alert
Open the key cover and press the ‘DISTRESS’ push button for minimum 5 seconds. The
alert button and the selection annunciator for the active unit flashes, and the buzzer sounds
periodically.
When the distress alert transmission starts, the distress button and the selection annunciator
change to a constant light. This indication is also given if a distress alert is initiated from the
transceiver.
When a distress acknowledgement has been received the distress annunciator flashes and
the buzzer sounds periodically - except Inmarsat-C equipment where distress button
changes to a slow cycle and the buzzer remains silent. Furthermore the dimmer will be set to
full light intensity.
When the distress acknowledgement has been read out or a distress/urgency alert has been
cancelled at the appropriate transceiver, the call lamp and buzzer on the Alarm Panel are
switched off.
Reception of Distress or Urgency Calls
Reception of Distress or Urgency calls, EGCs, and messages are indicated by a slowly
flashing distress annunciator and a periodic sound from the buzzer. Furthermore the dimmer
will be set to full light intensity.

General
Test the Alarm Panel
Pressing and holding the Test button will make all light indicators and alarm buttons flash.
Pressing any other button while holding the Test button, will sound the buzzer enabling
verification of the buttons and the audible indicator.
Note that this only tests the Alarm Panel itself and does not involve the connected transceiver unit. For description of system test procedures, please refer to the User’s Manual of
each of the system.
Mute the alarm sound
If the buzzer is on, pressing the Mute button will mute the buzzer until reactivated by a new
event.
Adjust the light intensity
Pressing and holding the Dimmer button will increase or decrease the light intensity in the
display. To change between increasing and decreasing, release the button and press it
again. The light can be decreased to distinction, but it will always turn to full intensity if any
distress indicators turn on, or if the Test button is pressed.
