SAFETY SUMMARY
The following general safety precautions must be observed
during all phases of operation, service and repair of this
equipment. Failure to comply with these precautions or with
specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety
standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the
equipment.
Thrane & Thrane A/S assumes no liability for the customer’s
failure to comply with these requirements.
MICROWAVE RADIATION HAZARDS
During transmission this unit radiates microwaves f
rom the
antenna. This radiation may be hazardous if exposed directly
to humans close to the antenna. Make sure that nobody is
closer than the recommended minimum safety distance of 1 ft.
(0.3 meters) during use of the transceiver.
KEEP AWAY F
ROM LIVE CIRCUITS
Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers.
Only qualified maintenance personal must make component
replacement and internal adjustment. Under certain
conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even with the cable
removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and
discharge circuits before touching them.
This manual provides instructions for installing a TT-3000E
mini-C GMDSS System.
1.1 I
NITIAL INSPECTION
Inspect the shipping carton immediately upon receipt for
evidence of damage during the transport. If the shipping
carton is severely damaged or water stained, request the
carrier's agent to be present when opening the carton. Save
the carton packing material for future use.
To avoid hazardous electrical shock, do not perform
electrical tests if there is any sign of shipping damage
to any portion of the outer cover. Read the safety
summary at the front of this manual before installing or
operating the TT-3000E mini-C GMDSS System.
Contents of the shipment should be as listed in the enclosed
packing list. If the contents are incomplete, if there is
mechanical damage or defect, or if the system components do
not work properly, notify your dealer.
After you unpack the system please:
• Inspect it thoroughly for hidden damaged, loose
components or loose fittings.
• Inspect the cable harness for stress, loose or broken
wires, or broken cable ties.
• Examine all the components for loose or missing
hardware.
• Tighten all loose hardware.
1.2 S
TORAGE
The TT-3000E system components may be stored or shipped
in temperatures within the limits -40° C to +80° C. It is
11/97
TT-3000E mini-C GMDSS System Installation Manual
recommended that the system is unpacked immediately on
delivery.
1.3 R
EPACKING FOR SHIPMENT
The shipping carton for the TT-3000E mini-C GMDSS System
has been carefully designed to protect the equipment during
shipment. The carton and its associated packing material
should be used when repackaging for shipment. Attach a tag
indicating the type of service required, return address, model
number and full serial number. Mark the carton FRAGILE to
ensure careful handling.
If the original shipping carton is not available, the following
general instructions should be used for repackaging with
commercially available material.
• Wr ap the equipment in heavy paper or plastic. Attach a
tag indicating the type of service required, return
address, model number and full serial number.
• Use a strong shipping container, e.g., a double-walled
carton made of 160 kg test material.
• Seal the shipping container FRAGILE to ensure careful
handling.

2.5 AP5065
ALARM PANEL
The AP5065 Alarm Panel can be used where a common
interface towards different Thrane & Thrane GMDSS
installations is needed. It can interface towards two InmarsatC GMDSS Systems, two VHF GMDSS Systems and one MF/HF
GMDSS system.
Figure 6 AP4365 Alarm Panel.
AP5065 Alarm Panel is designed to be installed at the cunning
position. For ships with more than one position from where
19/97
TT-3000E mini-C GMDSS System Installation Manual
the ship is normally navigated, it’s possible to interconnect up
to three AP5065 Alarm Panels.
The AP5065 Alarm Panel has an interface towards 3
rd
party
monitoring systems. The relevant alarm statuses for all
attached GMDSS systems are constantly transmitted on a
RS422 line. On another RS422 line it is possible for 3
rd
party
equipment to issue a mute command in order to silence all
GMDSS systems.
For installation of AP5065, please refer to the installation
manual delivered with the unit.

automatically switch from mains to battery supply in case of
mains dropout.
Figure 9 N163S Power Supply
Use of the N163S is optional, but it is a requirement of IMO
that the GMDSS installation is made such that it is operational
both from the ships main source of energy and from an
alternative source of energy.
Please refer to the installation manual delivered with N163S
for further installation information.

3 REGISTRATION
Before use of the TT-3026C mini-C transceiver on the
Inmarsat-C system it must be registered to the system, which
involves a little paper work. This is done using the SARF
(Service Activation Registration Form) supplied with the miniC MES. Page 1 of the SARF is shown in Figure 6.
The SARF for registration of Maritime MES can also be found
on
www.inmarsat.org (CUSTOMER SUPPORT -> SERVICE
ACTIVATION). The site also contains notes on how to
complete the maritime form.
The Service Activation Registration Form contains different
abbreviations that will be explained here.
The mini-C MES must be registered at either a PSA company
or directly to the ISP. A PSA is a company handling the
activation of Inmarsat mobiles and is short for Point of Service
Activation. ISP is the company that provides the Inmarsat
service and is short for Inmarsat Service Provider. In many
cases the PSA and ISP is the same company that also operates
a Land Earth Station (LES). The local PSA or ISP can be
obtained by following the guidelines in the registration form.
The Service Activation Registration Form also includes
information needed to find out how to pay the bill for the
Inmarsat-C service. This payment will be done directly to the
Accounting Authority. In many cases the Accountin g Auth or it y
(AA) is also the same company as the Inmarsat Service
Provider (ISP).
In addition to the general information like name, address, etc.
the ISN of the mini-C MES must be specified. The ISN is
located on the Delivery Note and in the bottom of the mini-C
MES.
Refer to Table 1 for answers to selected SARF questions.

Table 2 Answers to selected questions in SARF
When the mini-C MES is registered at the ISP it is ready to be
used on the Inmarsat-C network. The ISP has returned a
Mobile Number for the mini-C MES and prior to operating the
mini-C MES it must be configured with this Mobile Number.
The mobile number can be entered using the TT-3606E
Message Terminal:
1. Choose Options, Configuration, Terminal mode (Alt, O, C,
T) and wait for the blinking cursor to appear. This may
take a while if the transceiver and the Message Handling
program are communicating.
2. Press Enter to see the prompt ' :' on the screen.
3. Type se -u xxxxxxxxx <enter>, where xxxxxxxxx is
the mobile number.
4. Press Esc to leave the Terminal Mode when you're done to
ensure the functionality of your system.
For further information on the terminal interface please refer
to the Software Interface Reference Manual [2].

4 SYSTEM INSTALLATION
This chapter provides specific information enabling you to
install the TT-3000E mini-C GMDSS System with a minimal
effort. The default, or factory configuration, is described
together with procedures for altering this configuration.
The GMDSS system components covered in this section are:
TT-3026C Mini-C Transceiver
Please note that installation of N163S Power Supply and
AP5065 Alarm Panel are covered by separate manuals
provided with the units.
IMPORTANT: DO NEVER TEST THIS INSTLLATION BY
SENDING AN ALERT ON-AIR. ALSO BE CAREFUL NOT TO
SEND FALSE ALERTS DURING INSTALLATION. Any distress
alerts coming through the Inmarsat-C network will be taken
seriously by the receiving authorities.
If a false alert is sent by accident – despite all precautions – it
is important to inform the relevant authorities before a rescue
operation is initiated. See the User’s Manual for more
information about this [1].
