SSA buttons
(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
Control Unit, Installation and user manual [3].

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].
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.

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 power 35
Chapter 3: Connect the system
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:
Important The max. cable length is 200 m if the cable is also carrying
the communication interface and not just power.

Chapter 4: Configuration
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
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 SARF also includes billing information for the Inmarsat C service. The
payment will be made directly to the Accounting Authority (AA). In many
cases the AA is also the same company as the ISP.
In addition to the general information such as name and address, the
Inmarsat Serial Number (ISN) of the SAILOR 3027 must be specified. The
ISN is found on the Delivery Note and on the label in the bottom of the
SAILOR 3027 mini-C terminal.

• address = 4539558888 (fax number)
• param = t30 (fax numbers must always have this parameter at the end)
Note
The LES use codes in this section are only examples of use codes
at the time of writing and may not be correct for you. Contact
your LES Operator or ISP for the correct LES use codes.
To select an SMS recipient with the mobile number 4525414111, using EIK
LES, enter the following command line:
: se –am 0,6,4525414111,66
• entry = 0 (for the first entry)
• type = 6 (for SMS)
• address = 4525414111 (mobile number)
• param = 66 (EIK LES use code, see below)
Note The “address” field for Aussagel must contain “SMS+” before the
mobile number.
Example: se –am 0,6,SMS+4525414111,29
Examples of LES SMS codes:
• EIK LES use code (66)
• Stratos LES use code (696)
• Aussagel LES use code (29)
• Singtel LES use code (65)
Remember to lock the SAILOR 3027 to the LES you want to use for the SMS

4.6.1.7 To route covert alert messages and test messages
To configure to which addresses the alert messages and test messages
should be routed, use the following command:
Syntax: se -ame (entry),(usage)[,(cfg)]
• entry: 0...5
• usage:
1: Message (message only)
2: Test (test only)
3: Message + test (both message and test)
• Cfg (Optional): Used to determine whether or not a configuration
change message should be sent to the address of this entry, that is to
inform the recipient that a SSAS configuration change has been made.
0: Do not send configuration change message
1: Send a configuration change message to the address configured for
this entry.
Configuration
Note
• The first address (entry=0) can receive alert messages only.
• The second address (entry=1) can receive both alert and test
messages.
• The third address (entry=2) can receive test messages only.
Example:
: se -ame 0,1,1
• entry = 0 (for the first entry)
• usage = 1 (for message only)
• cfg = 1 (send configuration change message to the address for this
entry)

Check item Reference OK
Any further requirements for testing are defined by the Flag administration.
The field should show the Ocean region to which the SAILOR 3027 is
logged in (Atlantic Ocean East in the picture above), and the bars for
Antenna signal, GPS and PC connection should all be green.
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.
• PC connection
If a SAILOR 6194 is connected, this bar is divided in two: one for the
5555
SAILOR 6194 and one for the SAILOR 3027.
First bar green: easyMail has connected to the SAILOR 6194. Red: No
connection between easyMail and SAILOR 6194
Second bar green: easyMail has connected to the SAILOR 3027. Red: No
connection between easyMail and SAILOR 3027.
Important When you perform a link test, the system has limited
functionality. The link test can take several minutes, because
it has low priority in the network.
As an alternative, you can send a message to yourself to
check the connection.
To make a link test, do as follows:
Note The link test has low priority in the network, so it can take
some time to get a connection.
A popup informs you that the test has started. When the test has ended
another popup informs you that the test was completed successfully or
that it failed.

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.
Important When you perform a link test, the SAILOR 6018 has limited
functionality. Because of low priority in the network, the link
test can take several minutes.
As an alternative, you can send a message to yourself to
check the connection.
If you want to run a link test, first make sure the SAILOR 3027 is properly
commissioned and logged in. The top right corner of the SAILOR 6018
