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 recommended minimum safety distance of 1 ft.
(0.3 meters) during use of the transceiver.
KEEP AWAY FROM 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.

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 mini-
C 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 Accounting Authority
(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.

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.

34/97
4.3.2 ANTENNA MOUNTING CONDITIONS

When installing the TT-3026C mini-C Transceiver, find a
location that is as free from obstructions as possible. Also
maintain a certain distance to other antennas, especially radar
installations. Normally the best place for the antenna would
be above radar scanning antennas. The following safe
distances should be maintained:
Distance to HF antennas > 5 meter

Distance to VHF antennas > 4 meter
Distance to other Inmarsat-C transceiver. > 0.5 meter
Important: Remember to check the
corresponding requirement of the other
equipment.
Distance to magnetic compass > 0.3 meter
Table 6 Antenna Safe Distance
The antenna is designed to provide satellite coverage even

when the vessel has pitch and roll movements up to 15°. To
maintain this coverage the antenna should be free from
obstructions in the area down to 15° below the horizon (see
Figure 13). Since this may not be possible in the fore and aft
directions of the vessel, the clear area can be reduced to 5°
below the horizon in the fore and aft directions and 15° below
the horizon in the port and starboard directions. Any
compromise in this recommendation could degrade
performance.

Obstructions should be below these lines
Figure 13 Viewing Angle to the Horizon
If an obstruction such as a pole or a funnel is unavoidable, the

Transceiver must be positioned in such a location that the
obstruction covers no more than a 2° arc along the horizon. To
calculate the minimum distance, use the following formula:
Safe distance = 29 * Diameter of obstruction
Example:
Obstruction is a 4" pole (Diameter = 0.1 m)
Safe distance is 29 * 0.1 m = 2.9 m

4.3.3 SAFETY DISTANCE FOR ANTENNA UNITS

When transmitting, the electromagnetic field radiated from
the antenna can be harmful. To avoid danger, keep a distance
of 1 ft. (30 cm.) from the transceiver.
To be sure that this distance is respected, the TT-3026C mini-
C Transceiver is provided with a label declaring a minimum
safety distance of 1 ft. (30 cm.) on the antenna.
The relation between the power intensity and distance is as

follows:
Distance (m) from antenna Radiated intensity (W/m2)

0.20 10
0.13 25
0.07 100
Table 7 Radiated intensity
4.3.4 WIRING THE TT-3026C MINI-C TRANSCEIVER

The TT-3026C must be connected to the TT-3616C GMDSS
Interconnection Box by use of a special cable delivered with
the system. There are 4 lengths of connecting cables available
from T&T: 5m, 10m, 20m and 50m (refer to section 2.10 for
option numbers). Refer to Appendix B to get information
about the individual signals found in the cable.
4.3.5 GROUNDING
Make sure that the shield of the cable is connected to a
proper ground, i.e. the ship’s structure / hull via the cable
relief bracket found in the TT-3616C GMDSS Interconnection
Box. This is very important in order to safely bypass
interference from Radar, VHF/MF/HF radio equipment and
other environmental noise sources (see Figure 23and Figure
24).
4.3.6 POWER CONNECTION

The power connections of the TT-3026C consist of 4 wires (two
red and two black). All 4 wires MUST be used (see Figure 25).
37/97
The power connection input is floating (i.e., there is no

galvanic connection from DC+ and DC- to the connector
housing = GND = cable shield).
4.3.7 POWER REQUIREMENTS

The TT-3026C mini-C transceiver is designed to operate on
floating DC in the nominal range 12V to 24V, which makes an
AC/DC converter needed, in case the system is to work in an
AC environment. In case an AC/DC converter is used,
please make sure to leave the output of the AC/DC
converter floating, i.e. do NOT connect the negative wire
to ships structure.
The transceiver has an actual working voltage range of 10.5V
to 32V to accommodate power supply variations outside the
nominal range.
Note: In case a 50 meter transceiver cable is used (Opt.
946), the minimum supply voltage measured at the TT-
3616C terminals must be 16VDC.
4.3.8 GENERAL PURPOSE I/O PORTS

The TT-3026C mini-C Transceiver also contain two
configurable input/output ports available to the user via the
TT-3616C GMDSS Interconnection Box. They are named I/O 5
and I/O6.
When used as outputs, the ports have the following

characteristics:
• Open collector output.
• Internal 2.2kOhm pull-up resistor to 3.3VDC.
• Voltage allowed between GND and the output pin is
0V to 5V.
• Maximum current into the I/O pin is 25mA.
When used as inputs, the ports have the following

characteristics:
• Internal 2.2kOhm pull-up resistor to 3.3VDC.
• To guarantee a logic low input signal, the input
voltage must be < 0.5V.
38/97
• To guarantee a logic high input signal, the input

voltage must be >3V.
• Voltage allowed between GND and the input pin is 0V
to 5V.
WARNING: When using the I/O ports, it is important not to

apply voltages between GND and the I/O pin higher than 5
VDC as this can cause damage to the transceiver. Negative
voltages are not allowed either.
39/97
4.4 TT-3616C GMDSS INTERCONNECTION BOX

The TT-3616C GMDSS Interconnection Box is designed to
facilitate a simple and robust interconnection of the various
system components.
Figure 15 Outside view of TT-3616C
Figure 16 Inside view of TT-3616C
40/97
4.4.1 MOUNTING OF TT-3616C

The TT-3616C is designed to be mounted on a flat surface
anywhere inside a vessel and to be located up to 50 meters
away from the TT-3026C mini-C Transceiver and up to 20
meters away from the TT-3606E Message Terminal.
In order to ease the installation, please observe the minimum

clearing area as given in Figure 17.
Figure 17 Recommended free space around TT-3616C.
41/97
The unit must be fastened by the used of 4 screws, one in each

corner of the chassis as indicated by Figure 18. The
accessories for TT-3616C include 2 different types of screws
for the purpose, M5x12 and 5.5x25.
Figure 18 Drill template. All measures in mm.
The best grounding is made by screwing the chassis directly

on to the ships structure (provided it’s made of metal). If
proper grounding can not be made this way, then connect the
pre-mounted grounding wire to the ships structure. Find an
appropriate location as close as possible to the TT-3616C and
shorten the grounding wire accordingly. Terminate the
grounding wire with the yellow ring terminal found in the
accessory kit.
The correct (pre-mounted) position of the grounding wire is

shown in Figure 19.
42/97
Figure 19 Grounding using 4mm2 wire.
Please note the use of a washer as shown in Figure 19.
The grounding wire delivered with the TT-3616C has a length

of 1 meter and a wire cross section of 4mm2. Avoid extending
the length of the grounding wire, as the protective effect will
be severely degraded in such a case.
43/97
4.4.2 HANDLING OF WIRE TERMINALS IN TT-3616C

To help inserting wires into the
terminals, a special tool is delivered
as part of the accessory kit. It is used
as shown in Figure 20.
Please be careful not to

apply to much pressure, as
this might damage the top of
the terminal housing.
In case the special tool is lost, a

small screwdriver can be used as
well.
Figure 20 Wire tool.
4.4.3 CONNECTING POWER TO TT-3616C

The power connector is designed to accept wire with a cross
section area up to 2.5mm2. The required wire cross section
depends on the actual supply voltage, the supply cable length
and the transceiver cable length. Typical cable resistance is
given in Table 8.
Cross section [mm2] 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5

Resistance [Ω/km] 32.2 16.1 10.7 8.05 6.76
Table 8 Typical cable resistance
To calculate the maximum wire length in meters for a given

cable type and transceiver cable length, the following
formulas can be used:
(VMIN − 10.5) (VMIN − 16)

LMAX , 20 M = 156 ⋅ and LMAX ,50 M = 156 ⋅
RCABLE RCABLE
44/97
, where VMIN is the minimum guaranteed power supply

voltage and RCABLE is the cable resistance in Ω/km.
Example 1:
Using the N163S with a 24V battery backup, VMIN can be
assumed to be above 22V. Using 50 meter of
transceiver cable and a wire cross section of 1mm2, the
maximum power supply cable length is:
LMAX,50M = 58 m.
Example 2:
Using a 12V battery for backup, VMIN can be assumed to
be above 11V (if properly charged). Using 20 meter of
transceiver cable and a wire cross section of 2.5mm2,
the maximum power supply cable length is:
LMAX, 20M=11 m.
When connecting the cable to TT-3616C, make sure the cable

screen is properly terminated at the cable relief bracket as
shown in Figure 21. Connect the positive supply wire to the
terminal denoted DC+ and the negative supply wire to the
terminal denoted DC-.
Figure 21 Power cable connections.

45/97
The “Remote On/Off” terminal located next to DC- must be

connected to DC- in order to turn on the unit. By combining
this “Remote On/Off” with the similar signal on the TT-3606E
Message Terminal and making the connection to DC- via a
switch, then all equipment except the printer can be switch on
and off by a simple low power switch.
4.4.4 CONNECTING TT-3026C TO TT-3616C

In order to prepare the transceiver cable for mounting, start
by removing 20 cm. of isolation as shown in Figure 22.
Figure 22 Transceiver cable preparation.

Then wind the tinned wire around the isolation as shown in
Figure 23 in order to prepare for a proper grounding of the
cable screen.
46/97
Figure 23 Preparation for grounding of the cable screen.
Then fasten the cable firmly in the cable relief bracket of the
TT-3616C as shown in Figure 24.

Box, use up to 100 meter of
shielded cable with 8 wires
and a wire cross section of
at least 0.25mm2. Figure 27 Alarm panel connectors.
In order to prepare the cable for mounting, start by removing

12 cm. of isolation as shown in Figure 22 (remove 14 cm. of
isolation if connecting to J902).
Figure 28 Preparation of cable for alarm panels

Make sure the cable screen is proper folded around the cable
isolation before mounting.
Start by fastening the cable firmly in the cable relief bracket

of the TT-3616C before mounting the individual wires.
Then cut each wire 1.5 cm. longer than the distance to the
corresponding terminal. Remove 5 mm. of isolation and insert
the wire. An example is shown in Figure 29.

Make sure, that the twisted pairs are actually twisted all the
way to the terminal strip.
If the cable is terminated in TT-3616C, please mount a 120Ω

1/4W resistor between Data+ and Data- in order to ensure a
proper termination of the signal.
4.4.7.3 DIRECT WIRING - AP5042 POWERED FROM TT-3616C

In case one of the AP5042’s are located less than 50 meters
from the interconnection box, a setup as shown in Figure 33
can be used in order to save an extra power supply unit.
Figure 33 Powering AP5042 directly from TT-3616C

55/97
The TT-3616C is capable of sourcing power for two AP5042

Inmarsat-C Alarm Panels, thus it is possible to add a second
AP5042 sourced directly from the TT-3616C, provided:
• It is connected to TT-3616C using a wire length of less
than 5 meters.
• The wire is NOT terminated at the AP5042.
• No TT-3042C is connected at J903 and +9V and GND for
the extra alarm panel is taken from J903.
It might be necessary to join the three Data+ signals as well as
the three Data- signals externally (within centimeters from
J302) as the resulting wire cross section might be too thick for
J302.

4.7.2 GROUNDING
Connect a grounding wire between the ships structure and
AP5042 by using the dedicated grounding point found on the
rear panel of the alarm panel.
The grounding wire should have a cross section of at least

0.75mm2 and the length should preferably be kept below 1
meter.
4.7.3 CONNECTING AP5042

There are two DSUB9 connectors on the back of the AP5042
Inmarsat-C Alarm Panel, one male type marked “Inm-C” and
one female type marked “Power”.
The connector marked “Inm-C” is used for communication

with the TT-3000E mini-C GMDSS System. The pin-out is
shown in Table 12. For further information concerning wiring
of the communication interface, please refer to section 4.4.7.

5 TEST OF THE SYSTEM

This section provides information on how to perform system
checks as well as help for troubleshooting.
Concerning the initial start up and use of the TT-3606E

Message Terminal, please refer to the user manual, ref. [1].
5.1 BASIC SYSTEM VERIFICATION

The TT-3616C Interconnection Box has 6 light emitting diodes
(LED’s) to provide basic installation and troubleshooting help.
The location of the LED’s is shown in Figure 52.
Spare fuse
5 Amp fuse
Figure 52 TT-3616C LED's and fuses locations.
5.1.1 DC IN LED
When applying power to the TT-3616C, the “DC in” LED will
light up provided the fuse is OK. In case the LED does not light
up, then:
78/97
1) Check the fuse. If blown, check for short circuits on

the cabling towards the TT-3026C mini-C Transceiver.
Check for obvious visual errors on the TT-3616C itself
(wire fragments, burnt areas etc.). Turn off the power
supply before replacing the fuse. Note, that a spare
fuse is available as indicated in Figure 52.
2) Check the wiring.
3) Check the power supply source.
5.1.2 3026 ON LED

The “3026 on” LED indicate, that the TT-3026C mini-C
Transceiver is turned on. In case the LED does not light up,
then:
1) Check, that the “DC in“ LED is on.
2) Check, that the “Remote on/off” terminal in J602 is
connected to DC- (if not, then the system is supposed
to be turned off).
3) Check the mini-C Transceiver cabling.
4) Check that the supply voltage measured on J602
between DC- and DC+ is above 10.5 VDC.
5) Toggle “remote on/off” by leaving it floating for 1
second before reconnecting it to DC-.
5.1.3 3616C OK LED

For normal operation the “3616C OK” LED should be steady
on when the system is powered.
A flashing “3616C OK” LED indicates a software update in

progress or a missing application software (could be a result
of an aborted software update).
5.1.4 3026 OK LED

This LED is controlled by software and can only be trusted
provided the “3616C OK” LED is steadily lit.
The “3026 OK” LED should be steadily lit to indicate, that

error free communication is detected between TT-3616C and
TT-3026C. After power up this LED will be flashing until
79/97
correct communication with TT-3026C is established (duration

approximately 10 seconds).
If the “3026 OK” LED flashes continuously, then:

1) Check that the TT-3026C mini-C Transceiver is
actually powered on by checking the “3026 on” LED.
2) Check the Transceiver cable, especially the following
wires: Black/Blue, Grey, Black/Yellow & Black/Gray.
5.1.5 SSAS OK LED

If the SSAS option is not installed, the “SSAS OK” LED will be
flashing. If the SSAS option is correctly installed, the LED will
be steadily lit.
Refer to ref. [3] for further information.
5.1.6 GMDSS OK LED

When one or more distress alarm panels are installed, the

“GMDSS OK” LED should be steadily lit.
In case the “GMDSS OK” LED is flashing, then:

1) Check that the alarm panels are correctly wired.
2) Check that the +9VDC is not overloaded (shorted) by
measuring more than 8V between +9V DC and GND
on each of the connectors J901, J902, J903 & J302. If so,
remove the overload. Each of the connectors J901,
J902, J903 & J302 are equipped with a self reset able
fuse, thus after removal of the overload the voltage
should get back to normal.
80/97
Note, that some errors can only be detected when the Distress
button is pressed. To perform such a test, refer to section 5.2.
5.2 DISTRESS BUTTON TEST

When the TT-3000E mini-C GMDSS System is fully installed, it
is recommended to do a distress button test.
The Distress Test Mode facility in the TT-3606E Message

terminal (Alt - O, E) allows test of the Distress Buttons, Distress
LED's and wiring. When Distress Test Mode option is selected
the Distress Test Mode message is displayed:
╔══════════════════╤═══════════╤═══════════════════╗
║ │ Test Mode │ ║
╟──────────────────┴───────────┴───────────────────╢
║ Yes No ║
╟──────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ Distress buttons are under test. ║
║ Cancel the test mode if a real distress alert ║
║ needs to be sent. ║
║ Cancel? ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Please notice that the message displayed by the Message

Terminal asks the operator if distress test mode should be
cancelled. Do not answer yes to this question unless you
are absolutely sure that you have completed distress
testing. In Distress Test Mode the Distress Buttons can be
activated and tested without issuing Distress Alerts. Distress
Test Mode is cancelled by pressing the Esc key. After Distress
Test Mode is terminated activating the Distress Buttons will
again result in a Distress Alert being send.
5.2.1 TT-3042C REMOTE ALARM/DISTRESS BOX

When Distress Test mode is initiated the Remote Alarm Box
starts a test sequence. In this sequence the Distress Msg LED,
the buzzer and the MES Fault LED are activated one at a time.
Test of the Distress Button on the Remote Alarm Box:

Please note that the transceiver has to be in Distress Test
Mode before this test is performed. Otherwise a real
Distress Alert is transmitted.
81/97
Pressing the Distress button will make the Distress LED flash
and will activate an intermediate acoustic signal. If the
Distress button is held for at least 5 seconds the acoustic
signal will stop and the Distress LED will light constantly to
indicate that a Distress Alert would have been send in case
Distress Test Mode had not been activated. Shortly after, the
cyclic activation of the Distress Msg LED, the buzzer and the
MES Fault LED will continue. The light in the Distress button
can be switched off by pressing the Reset/Test button.
5.2.2 TT-3042CP REMOTE ALARM/DISTRESS BOX

Please follow the same procedure as for TT-3042C.
5.2.3 AP5042 INMARSAT-C ALARM PANEL

When Distress Test mode is initiated, the text “Test” will be
shown in green letters on the display line. A cyclic test
sequence will:
1) Switch on the “Distress” text (5 seconds).
2) Sound the buzzer (5 seconds).
3) Switch off the buzzer and the “Distress” text and
switch on the “Fault” text (5 seconds).
4) Switch off the “Fault” text.
All other segments on the display line will be lit constantly
during the test.
Test of the Distress Button on the AP5042:
Please note that the transceiver has to be in Distress Test

Mode before this test is performed. Otherwise a real
Distress Alert is transmitted.
Pressing the Distress button will make the distress button flash
and will activate an intermediate acoustic signal. If the
Distress button is held for at least 5 seconds the acoustic
signal will stop and the distress button will be lit constantly to
indicate that a Distress Alert would have been send in case
Distress Test Mode had not been activated. Shortly after, the
82/97
cyclic activation of the “Distress” text, the buzzer and the

“Fault” text will continue.
5.3 LINK TEST

A link test (or PVT test) tests the satellite link from the
transceiver to the Land Earth Station.
Prior to initiating a Link Test, make sure the TT-3026C mini-C

Transceiver is properly commissioned (refer to section 3) and
logged in (‘OptionsÆLogin’).
A link test is initiated by clicking ‘OptionsÆLink test’. Note,

that it may take up to one minute for the information about the
latest Link Test to be updated.
Click ‘Activate’ to start the test.
After a while the window will be updated with the text:

“Automatic test mode: Normal communication disabled. Do not
press any distress buttons unless you are in distress”.
The printer will print a message saying Link Test request
issued, then a Link Test request successful and a Link Test
started.
When receiving the results the screen will display: Link Test
finished and the results will be printed out.
Press ESC to leave the Link Test window after completion of

the test.
In case the Link Test fails, then make sure, that the signal
strength as indicated on the main window is OK and then try
performing another Link Test.
5.4 TEST OF BACKUP SUPPLY

Correct functionality of the backup supply should be tested.
83/97
When using the N163S Power Supply, simply switch of the

mains supply on the switch found on the front of the unit.
Observe, that the system continues to work uninterrupted
from the 24V DC backup battery.
84/97
6 MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
When properly installed the system needs no maintenance.
After approximately 10 years the internal batteries in the TT-

3026C and the TT-3606E has to be replaced, and both the
transceiver and the message terminal must be sent for
service.
6.1 HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

• Do not expose the transceiver’s parting line (the blue
styling gasket) & connector to high-pressure water
jets.
• Exposure of chemical containing alkalis may result in
physical degradation of the transceiver.
• Do not expose the transceiver to acid curing silicone.
• Avoid contact with solvents.
Do not paint the transceiver. If it is absolutely necessary to

paint the transceiver, ideally water-based paints or paint
