2The Message Terminal

The Message Terminal

GMDSS or general purpose terminal

There are two variants of the Message Terminal: The TT-6006A and the
TT-6007A. The only visible difference is the Distress button on the TT-6006A,
which is a GMDSS approved terminal. The next sections describe the two
terminals.

TT-6006A

The TT-6006A Message Terminal is a maritime terminal for use in GMDSS
installations, providing several types of interfaces for connection to external
equipment, such as a Mini-C transceiver, MF/HF Radio Telex applications and
an Alarm panel. The Message Terminal has a touch-screen for operating the
terminal. However, in GMDSS installations a keyboard is mandatory. A
suitable keyboard is available from Thrane & Thrane.

for fishery e-log using third party software. It provides several types of
interfaces for connection to external equipment, such as a Mini-C transceiver
or BGAN terminal, an ethernet switch and a printer. The Message Terminal
has a touch-screen for operating the terminal. You may also connect an
external keyboard and mouse/trackball.

4Initial inspection

Initial inspection

Inspect the shipping carton immediately upon receipt for evidence of
mishandling during transport. If the shipping carton is severely damaged or
water stained, request that the carrier's agent be present when opening the
carton. Save the carton packing material for future use.

Check that the contents of the shipment are according to the enclosed packing
list. If the contents are incomplete, if there is mechanical damage or defect, or
if the Message Terminal does not work properly, notify your dealer.

After unpacking the Message Terminal, inspect it thoroughly for hidden
damage and loose components or fittings.

Warning! To avoid electrical shock, do not apply power to the

Message Terminal if there is any sign of shipping damage
to any part of the front or rear panel or the outer cover.
Read the safety summary at the front of this manual before
installing or operating the Message Terminal.

correctly wired and fastened.

Mounting

Mounting the cable relief plate

Before installing the Message Terminal, mount the cable relief plate on the
connector panel as shown below using the 2 screws included with the cable

6 Installation

Flush mount

You can flush mount the Message Terminal in a console by using the 4 screw
holes (A) on the back of the terminal. The holes are M4 x 10 mm. For a
drawing of the Flush-mount plate with panel cut-out and mounting holes, see
Outline drawing: Flush mount plate on page 31.

Wall or desktop mounting

You can mount the Message Terminal on a horizontal surface or a vertical
surface using the optional mounting bracket. Do as follows:

1. Use the four holes in the mounting bracket to fasten the terminal to the
mounting surface. Screws are included with the mounting bracket.

2. Adjust the angle in steps of 7.5° by loosening the hand wheels slightly and
moving the Message Terminal into the wanted position. Remember to
tighten the hand wheels again.

Please refer to chapter B, Mechanical outlines, describing the detailed
mechanical outlines of the Message Terminal and mounting bracket.

Installation

Storage

The Message Terminal may be stored or shipped in temperatures between

-40° C and +80° C. Protect the Message Terminal from extreme temperature
variation which can cause condensation.

We recommend that you unpack the Message Terminal immediately on
delivery.

Repacking for shipment

The shipping carton has been carefully designed to protect the Message
Terminal and its accessories during shipment. This carton and its associated
packing material should be used when repacking 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 repacking with commercially available
material.

1. Wrap the Message Terminal in heavy paper or plastic. Attach a tag

indicating the type of service required, return address, model number and
full serial number.

2. Use a strong shipping container, e.g. a double walled carton of 160 kg test

material.

3. Protect the front- and rear panel with cardboard and insert a 7 cm to 10 cm

layer of shock-absorbing material between all surfaces of the equipment
and the sides of the container.

4. Seal the shipping container securely.

5. Mark the shipping container FRAGILE to ensure careful handling.
