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 from the antenna.
This radiation may be hazardous if exposed directly to humans close to
the antenna. Make sure that nobody is closer than the recommend e d
minimum safety distance of 0.3 meter (1 ft.) during use of the
transceiver.
KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS
Operating personal must not remove equipment covers. Only qualified
maintenance personal must make component replacement and internal
adjustment. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may ex ist
even with the cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect
power and discharge circuits before touching them.

TT-3000LRIT mini-C Installation Manual
1 INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the TT-3000LRIT mini-C and provides
instructions for installation.
The TT-3000LRIT consists of following parts:
One Inmarsat mini-C Maritime Transceiver
One connection cable
One pole mount kit
One installation manual
Note. The installation does not require a TT-3616D Interconnection
Box. However the TT-3616D may be purchased separately if you
would like to have a more flexible installation.
1.1 I
MPORTANT INFORMATION FOR TT-3000LRIT SYSTEM
A ship owner selling a vessel is responsible for informing the
Accounting Authority that the TT-3000LRIT must be
decommissioned. Not doing so means that he is still obligated to pay
the fees.

NITIAL INSPECTION
WARNING
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-3000LRIT
Inspect the shipping carton immediately upon receipt for evidence of
mishandling 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.
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 TT-3000LRIT does not work properly, notify your
dealer.
1.3 S
TORAGE
The TT-3000LRIT may be stored or shipped in temperatures within the
limits -40° C to +80° C. It is recommended that the TT-3000LRIT is
unpacked immediately on delivery.
1.4 R
EPACKING FOR SHIPMENT
The shipping carton for the TT-3000LRIT has been carefully designed
to protect the transceiver and its accessories during shipment. This
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.

TT-3000LRIT mini-C Installation Manual
• Wrap the TT-3000LRIT 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 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The standard activation mode TT-3000LRIT consists of
TT-3026M Inmarsat mini-C Maritime Transceiver
Opt. 943 Connection Cable, 20 meters
Opt. 101 Pole Mount Kit
TT-3000LRIT Installati on Manual
A TT-3026M is a complete Inmarsat mini-C transceiver with built-in
LNA/HPA and GPS electronics and an omni-directional antenna
designed to operate on vessels. The housing is sealed and contains no
user serviceable parts.
The TT-3026M is very compact and is designed to operate in a
corrosive environment, and in extreme weather conditions without any
service.
The TT-3026M is equipped with an 18-pole female connector and is
intended for pole mounti n g using the Opt. 101 or Opt. 103 Pol e Mo u nt
Kit. See section 3.1.1.
The TT-3026M has a built-in GPS module, capable of tracking up to
12 GPS satellites.
The TT-3026M is designed to operate when the satellite is visible over
the horizon and no signal path blockage is present.
The TT-3026M antenna has an elevation angel of -15° ensuring perf ect
reception in sea area A3 (Inmarsat) even when the vessel has pitch and
roll movements due to rough weather.
The TT-3026M performs regular scanning of the Inmarsat satellite
network and will automatically perform ocean region changeover if an
ocean region is found with a stronger signal.
