Introduction
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 from 10.8 - 32 V DC. The input is protected against
reverse polarity.
Single or Multi Alarm Panel
There are two variants of the Alarm Panel: The SAILOR 6101A and the
SAILOR 6103A.
• The SAILOR 6101A 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 6103A 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.
Note
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.

SAILOR 6101A Alarm Panel
The SAILOR 6101A 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.
Note
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.

type (VHF, MF/HF or Inmarsat C) when the equipment is detected by the Multi
Alarm Panel.
Through the Ethernet connector you can interface to two Inmarsat C systems,
two VHF systems and two MF/HF systems.
Note
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

To start up the Alarm Panel, do as follows:
1. Switch on the Alarm Panel.
Use the remote on/off switch, if installed. otherwise, the Alarm Panel is
automatically powered with the system.
2. The first column of the display shows which systems are connected to the
Alarm Panel. A marker next to a system shows that it is the primary system
for sending distress alerts or distress calls.
In the example above, two VHF radios and one Inmarsat C system are
connected to the Alarm Panel. VHF 1 and Inm-C 1 can be used for sending a
distress call/alert.
• On the SAILOR 6101A you can connect two Inmarsat C systems.
• On the SAILOR 6103A you can connect two VHF systems, two Inmarsat C
systems and two MF/HF systems.
