(not included)
The SSA (Ship Security Alert) System provides ships with alarm buttons,
which can be activated in case of a piracy or terrorist attack. The alarm is a
covert signal that has no sound and no flashing lights, so it is not seen nor
heard by any intruders on board the ship.
The SAILOR 6120 has three SSA buttons (two alarm buttons and one test
button), which connect to the SAILOR 3027 SSA Terminal through the
SAILOR 6194 Terminal Control Unit. The CAN interface, which connects
the SAILOR 3027 SSA Terminal to the SAILOR 6194, also provides the
power for the SAILOR 6194.
For wiring of the SAILOR 6120 system, see SAILOR 6120 SSA System on
page 22.
The SAILOR 3027 must be configured with the recipient(s) of the Ship
Security Alert. See SSA buttons configuration (SAILOR 6120 only) on
page 65. For further information on SSA, refer to SAILOR 6194 Terminal

2.2 General installation requirements
Important Only the SAILOR 3027 mini-C terminal must be placed

outdoors. Place all other units in the system indoors!
For information on environmental requirements to the units,
refer to Technical specifications on page 93 or the individual
installation manuals for the units.
2.2.1 Painting the radome

Customers may wish to paint the radome in order to match the vessel’s
color. Cobham SATCOM’s recommendation is that the radome should NOT
be painted because it may impact RF performance and may lead to over-
heating, causing the antenna to go in safe mode (switch off). However,
painting the radome will not void the general warranty regarding material
and workmanship etc. It is only the performance that cannot be
guaranteed. Any paint used must be non-metallic based.
2.2.2 Power requirements

A SAILOR 6120/30/40/50 operates on 15 VDC (nominal). You may use any
power supply or battery that meets the power requirements listed in this
section and in Appendix A, Technical specifications.
Important If any additional NMEA 2000 equipment is connected to the

CAN bus, the power supply must be 15 VDC (nominal). To
convert your power supply to 15 VDC you may use a
SAILOR 6090 Power Converter or a SAILOR 6081 PSU and
Charger from Cobham SATCOM.
Note For the system to work with longer cables you may have to use a
higher input voltage for the SAILOR 3027, e.g. 29 VDC from the
SAILOR 6080 Power Supply. In this case, make sure all connected
equipment supports the supplied power.
12 General installation requirements

2222
2.2.2.1 Power consumption

2.3 Install the SAILOR 3027
2.3.1 Location of the SAILOR 3027 mini-C terminal

Place the terminal outdoors on the ship. Before mounting the terminal,
consider the following:
• Safety distance: 1 ft. (0.3 m).
Place the terminal so that no person can accidently get closer to the
terminal than the safety distance 1 ft. (0.3 m).
• Distance to exhaust fumes.
Do not place the terminal close to the funnel directly exposed to
exhaust fumes.
• Distance to heat.
Do not place the terminal close to any heat source.
• Distance to other equipment.
Keep the following distances between the terminal and other
equipment:
• Compass safe distance: > 5 m (distance to magnetic compass)
• HF antennas: > 5 m
• VHF antennas: > 4 m
• Other Inmarsat C terminals: > 0.5 m
• Line of sight.
Place the terminal in an area as free from obstructions as possible in all
directions down to 15° below the horizon.

Example: The obstruction is a pole of 0.1 m diameter. This means the

terminal must be placed 29 x 0.1 m = 2.9 m from the
obstruction.
• Power source available.
The power source must be placed as close as possible to the terminal.
Install the SAILOR 3027 15

• Grounding available.
Make sure that the shield of the CAN cable is connected to a proper
ground, i.e. the ship’s structure/hull. This is very important in order to
protect persons and equipment from lightning and safely bypass
interference from Radar, VHF/MF/HF radio equipment and other
environmental sources of interference.
Important Do not make the ground connection at the SAILOR

3027 end of the CAN cable. Instead, connect the shield
of the CAN cable to ship ground at the power supply.

2222
2.3.2 Mount the SAILOR 3027 mini-C terminal

The SAILOR 3027 has one CAN connector and is designed primarily for pole
mounting.
Important Do not tighten the screws more than max. torque 2.5 Nm
Install the system

when you mount the SAILOR 3027. Tightening the screws
too much may cause damage to the housing of the SAILOR
3027 and thus impair the protection against water intrusion.
If you are mounting the terminal directly on a plain surface,
use a large spacer (order no. 403027-921) between the
mounting surface and the SAILOR 3027 and tighten the
screws to torque 1.5 - 2.5 Nm.

As an alternative to the NMEA connectors you may use a CAN connection
box, (part number 406208A).
For a list of additional cables and connectors available from Cobham
SATCOM, see Available parts on page 91.
If you are using a SAILOR 6194 Terminal Control Unit, refer also to the
manual SAILOR 6194 Terminal Control Unit, Installation and user manual
[3].
3.2 Ground the units
Connect the system

Make sure you have a suitable grounding location for grounding the units,
preferably close to the power supply. See page 16 in the section Location
of the SAILOR 3027 mini-C terminal.
Important The shield of the CAN cable from the terminal must be
grounded at the power supply, not at the terminal. This is to
ensure that any lightning strike at the terminal will be
directed straight to the ship ground, and away from
equipment operated by personnel.
You may use a special CAN cable, containing only the power wires and
shield, to connect to the power supply. Using a T-connector, this cable can
be connected to the full CAN bus.
Connect the shield of the CAN cable to ship ground at the power supply.
Make sure the power supply has a good ship ground connection, e.g.
through the mounting plate and/or chassis.
Ground the units 29


Connect a ground wire between the ground stud on the SAILOR 6018 and

the chassis of the power supply to ship ground. This is to
ensure that any lightning strike at the terminal will be
directed straight to the ship ground, and away from
equipment operated by personnel.
For information on how to install the power supply, see the documentation
included with the power supply.
30 Ground the units

3333
The base plate of the SAILOR 6194 forms a ground plane for the electronic
circuit. This ground plane must be connected to ship ground in one of two
ways:
• Mount the SAILOR 6194 on a conducting surface connected to ship
ground, or
• connect a ground wire between ship ground and the cable relief for the
CAN cable shown in the picture below.
Connect the system
Ground the units 31

3.3 The CAN backbone

When connecting the CAN backbone, be aware of the following
requirements:
• The CAN bus is already terminated with 120 Ohm inside the SAILOR
3027. You must provide the CAN bus with a termination
resistance of 120 Ohm at the other end of the CAN backbone, either
with a separate termination resistance or inside the last device on the
CAN backbone. The SAILOR 6194 has a built-in termination resistance.
• The cable length from each device to the CAN T-connector must be
maximum 6 m.
• The total length of the backbone must be maximum 200 m.
• Make the ground connection to ship ground (hull) at the power supply -
and only there.
• Connect the shield of the CAN cable to the connectors throughout the
system, but only connect to ship ground at the power supply.

3.4 Connect power
3.4.1 Power source

• If you are connecting additional NMEA2000 equipment other than
SAILOR 6194 or SAILOR 6018 to the CAN bus, the power source for the
mini-C system must supply 15 VDC (nominal). To convert to 15 VDC
you may use e.g. a SAILOR 6090 Power Converter or a SAILOR 6081
PSU and Charger.
Connect the system

Note If your power source is supplying more than 15 V, the system
is not protected against incorrect wiring.
• The power source must be able to deliver sufficient power for the
system units. Refer to Power requirements on page 12.
Caution! If your power source is a battery, you must configure an

under-voltage protection for the battery. The battery
may be damaged if the correct under-voltage protection
is not applied! For details, see Under-voltage protection
(UVP) on page 34.
3.4.2 Connect the power cables
3.4.2.1 SAILOR 3027

The SAILOR 3027 has one CAN connector, which is also used for power
input.
1. Connect the red wire to DC+ and the black wire to DC- in the power
supply.
2. Connect the shield of the CAN cable to chassis on the power supply,
which must be connected to ship ground. See Ground the units on
page 29.
Connect power 33
3.4.2.2 SAILOR 6194

The SAILOR 6194, like the SAILOR 3027, connects to power through the
CAN interface, which in the SAILOR 6194 is a group of spring-loaded
terminals (X2). Refer to SAILOR 6194 Terminal Control Unit, Installation
and user manual [3].
Do not connect the shield of the CAN cable to the SAILOR 6194.
3.4.3 Under-voltage protection (UVP)

If the power source is a battery, you must configure the SAILOR 3027 and
the SAILOR 6194 to the correct under-voltage protection.
Caution! The battery may be damaged if the correct under-

voltage protection is not applied!
Configure the under-voltage protection as follows:
1. Connect a computer to the SAILOR 6194 and start a terminal program

as described in Configuration using commands on page 62.
2. At the tt6194:/$ prompt, type in the relevant command
depending on the voltage of the battery.
• Disable UVP: Type avr_uvp 0
• 24 V: Type avr_uvp 1
• 12 V: Type avr_uvp 2
• CAN voltage: Type avr_uvp 3
3. Type minic to access the SAILOR 3027.
4. At the Can0:/$ prompt, type SU SYSADM and enter the password.
5. Type in the relevant command from step 2, depending of the voltage of
the battery.
34 Connect power
3333
3.4.4 Calculate power cables for the SAILOR 3027
If possible, use the cables included with your SAILOR 6120/30/40/50
system.
If you want to use other cables or extend the included cables, use the
guidelines in this section to calculate the maximum length of your power
cables.
• When extending the power cable, positive and negative supply wires
must be installed closely together side by side to keep cable inductance
low.
Connect the system

• Ensure that cable inductance for the selected cable at the desired length
is below the 50 uH requirement. Refer to the data sheet for the cable
you are using.
3.4.4.1 Source impedance

The length of the power cable depends on the type of cable used and the
source impedance of the ship’s DC power source.
The maximum allowed source impedance depends on the utilization of the
power range of the DC input.
The total impedance is made up of the source impedance of the power
supply plus the impedance of connected cables including connectors and
joints where cables might be extended.
Connect power 35
3.4.4.2 Calculate the maximum power cable length

Max. total impedance:
• 29 VDC operation: max. 2.7 ohm including the source impedance of
the ship installation.
To calculate the maximum cable length, do as follows:
1. If you are using the SAILOR 6081 PSU go to step 2. If you are using
another DC power source or want to extend the included cable then
measure the source impedance as shown in Measure the ship source
impedance on page 38.
2. Find the resistance per m for the cable type you are going to use.
Table 5 shows typical cable resistance - note that your cable type may
differ from this. Refer to the data sheet for the cable you are using.
3. Calculate the maximum cable length as follows:
0.5 x (max. total impedance1 - measured source impedance)

Max. cable length =
cable impedance per meter
Important The max. cable length is 200 m if the cable is also carrying
the communication interface and not just power.
1. Max. total impedance:

29 VDC operation: max. 2.7 ohm including the source impedance of the
ship installation.

and the length of cables from the mini-C to the last unit on the CAN bus
(max. 200 m).
Connect power 37
3.4.5 Measure the ship source impedance
3.4.5.1 Without supplied cable

If you want to use another cable instead of the supplied cable, measure
the source impedance without the cable as follows:
1. Measure the voltage without load (R.var disconnected).

Power outlet
for terminal
2. Set the current to e.g. 1 A by adjusting R.var.

3. Measure the corresponding voltage change.
4. Calculate the source impedance from the voltage and the current.
Example: 1 A and 100 mV.
Source impedance: 100 mV/1 Amp = 100 mOhm.
You can use this source impedance to calculate the maximum length of the
cable between the power outlet and the SAILOR 3027.
38 Connect power
3333
3.4.5.2 With the supplied cable
If you want to extend the supplied cable, measure the source
impedance including the supplied cable, as follows:
1. Connect the supplied power cable to the DC power source.

2. Connect the other end of the power cable to the Mini part of the
Mini/Micro T-connector.
3. Connect the cable for the SAILOR 3027 to the T-connector, but do not
connect the other end to the terminal.
Connect the system

4. At the unconnected end of the CAN cable, measure the source
impedance as described in the next steps.
Power outlet End of cable at
for terminal SAILOR 3027 end
6 m power cable
plus 30 m Mini Device cable
5. Measure the voltage without load (R.var disconnected).

6. Set the current to e.g. 1 A by adjusting R.var.
7. Measure the corresponding voltage change.
8. Calculate the source impedance from the voltage and the current.
Example: 1 A and 950 mV. Source impedance: 950 mV/1 Amp = 950
mOhm.
You can use this source impedance to calculate the maximum length of the
extension cable.
Connect power 39
3.5 Connectors and pinout

The SAILOR 3027 has one male CAN socket for connecting to power as well
as communication interfaces. The table and drawing below show the pin-
out for the connector.
In standalone systems, e.g. LRIT, where you do not use the communication
interface, you only need to connect pin 2 and 3 to the power supply and
the shield of the cable to ship ground at the power supply.
Important Secure the CAN cable at the SAILOR 3027 to avoid stressing
the CAN connector and the housing of the terminal.

4.1 Register your SAILOR 3027
4.1.1 Service Activation Registration Form

Before using the SAILOR 3027 mini-C terminal on the Inmarsat C system
you must register the terminal.
Note In most cases the distributor registers the system for the
customer.
Use the Service Activation Registration Form (SARF) supplied with the
SAILOR 3027. A copy of page 1 of the SARF is shown in the next page. As a
guide, some of the most important fields are filled in with red color. Note
that the stated MES (Mobile Earth Station) model is just an
example - the field must show the MES model you are registering.
The SARF for registration of Maritime MES (in this case the SAILOR 3027)
can also be found on www.inmarsat.com/Support under Activation,
including notes on how to complete the maritime form.
The SARF contains different abbreviations that are explained here.
The SAILOR 3027 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

5.2 Test the SAILOR 6130 LRIT System

If you have a SAILOR 6130 LRIT System, you may not have anything
connected to your SAILOR 3027, except for a power supply.
However, we recommend testing the signal path. This can be done by
requesting a LESO (LES Operator) in the Inmarsat-C system to perform a
PVT (Performance Verification Test) on your SAILOR 3027 LRIT Terminal.
The LESO returns the result of the test, which is either that the mobile
passed or failed the test. A written result may look like this:

Test Id Group Start time End time Overall

The field may also look like this:
In this case, the PC has not established a connection to the SAILOR 3027
(nor the SAILOR 6194, if present). If you are using RS-232, the reason may
be that the COM port in the PC is already open by another application, or
that the COM port or baud rate set in easyMail is incorrect. Close the other
application or go to Setup > COM Settings and choose the correct port
and baud rate (default 115200).
Below is an explanation of the bars.
• Antenna signal
This bar has 5 steps from all green to all red, depending on the quality of
the satellite signal. Green: good signal quality. Red: no signal.
• GPS
Green: GPS OK. Red: GPS error or no antenna connection.

system under test are included in this test. Do not push
any other Distress buttons, unless it is a Distress
situation!
The light and buzzer in the Distress buttons should work the same way
as in a real Distress situation. For details on the Distress buttons, see
SAILOR 6120/30/40/50, User manual [1].
5. When you have finished testing, or you need to send a real Distress
alert, click Cancel in the Test in progress window.

5555
5.4.3 Link test
Using the SAILOR 6018 Message Terminal you can test the satellite link
from the SAILOR 3027 to the Land Earth Station.
