It must only be used in the course of employment by individuals aware of both the hazards as well as the way to minimize those hazards The radio is thus NOT intended for use in an uncontrolled environment by general public. The Sailor 6216 has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for "Occupational Use Only". The radio also complies with the following guidelines and standards regarding RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels including the recommended levels for human exposure: • FCC OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C, evaluating compliance with FCC guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields. • American National Standards Institute (C95.1) IEEE standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz • American National Standards Institute (C95.3) IEEE recommended practice for the measurement of potentially hazardous electromagnetic fields - RF and microwaves. Below the RF exposure hazards and instructions in safe operation of the radio within the FCC RF exposure limits established for it are described. Warning Your Thrane & Thrane radio set generates electromagnetic RF (radio frequency) energy when it is transmitting. To ensure that you and those around you are not exposed to excessive amounts of that energy (beyond FCC allowable limits for occupational use) and thus to avoid health hazards from excessive exposure to RF energy, FCC OET bulletin 65 establishes an Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) radius of 3' (0.9m) for the maximum power of your radio (25W selected) with an half wave omni-directional antenna having a maximum gain of 3 dB (5.2dBi). This means all persons must be at least 3' (0.9m) away from the antenna when the radio is transmitting. Installation 1. An omni-directional antenna with a maximum power gain of 5.2 dBi must be mounted at least 9.6' (2.9m) above the highest deck where people may be staying during radio transmissions. The distance is to be measured vertically from the lowest point of the antenna. This provides the minimum separation distance which is in compliance with RF exposure requirements and is based on the MPE radius of 3' (0,9m) plus the 6.6' (2m) height of an adult. 2. On vessels that cannot fulfil requirements in item 1, the antenna must be mounted so that its lowest point is at least 3' (0.9m) vertically above the heads of people on deck and all persons must be outside the 3' (0.9m) MPE radius during radio transmission. • Always mount the antenna at least 3' (0.9m) from possible human access. • Never touch the antenna when transmitting • Use only authorized T&T accessories. 3. If antenna has to be placed in public areas or near people with no awareness of the radio transmission, the antenna must be placed at a distance not less than 6' (1.8m) from possible human access. Failure to observe any of these warnings may cause you or other people to exceed FCC RF exposure limits or create other dangerous conditions vi Manual overview This manual has the following chapters: • Introduction contains a description of the VHF radio. • Operation explains how to make and receive VHF and DSC calls, including how to use and set-up the channel scanning, the 2way loudhailer, fog horn external loudspeaker. • Installation explains how to mount the VHF radio and how to connect accessories and external equipment. • Service & maintenance contains support information including lists of accessories and a troubleshooting guide. vii viii Table of Contents Chapter 1 Introduction VHF radio with DSC ............................................................ 1 Chapter 2 Operation General use and navigation ...............................................6 VHF radio communication .................................................12 HI/LO transmission power ................................................ 18 Watch ................................................................................19 Scan .................................................................................20 Radio setup ...................................................................... 22 DSC calls ..........................................................................25 Phone book .......................................................................41 Loudhailer with talk-back ................................................. 44 Automatic foghorn ...........................................................45 Hailer and Fog horn setup ................................................ 47 Replay function ................................................................48 Chapter 3 Installation Unpacking the SAILOR 6216 VHF DSC ...............................49 Installing the VHF radio ....................................................50 Power, VHF antenna and external equipment .................. 57 System setup ....................................................................62 SAILOR 6201 Handset cradle (optional) .............................64 ix Table of Contents Chapter 4 Service & maintenance Contact for support ...........................................................65 Maintenance ....................................................................65 Equipment and accessories .............................................. 71 Warranty .......................................................................... 71 App. A Technical specifications App. B Maritime channels Glossary ......................................................................................... 81 Index .........................................................................................83 1111 Chapter 1 Introduction Introduction VHF radio with DSC SAILOR 6216 VHF DSC, your new SAILOR VHF radio with full DSC functionality, is approved to FCC and Industry Canada and is waterproof to the IPx8 and IPx6 standard.

Before contacting your authorized dealer you can go through the troubleshooting guide to solve some of the most common operational problems. Maintenance Preventive maintenance Maintenance of the SAILOR 6216 VHF DSC radio can be reduced to a maintenance check at each visit of the service staff. Inspect the radio for mechanical damages, salt deposits, corrosion and any foreign material. Due to its robust construction and ruggedness the radio has a long lifetime. Anyway it must carefully be checked at intervals not longer than 12 months - dependent on the current working conditions. Salt deposits In case the equipment has been exposed to sea water there is a risk of salt crystallization on the keys and wheel knobs and they may become inoperable. Clean the VHF radio and speaker microphones with fresh water. Error messages and warnings Errors and warning messages are shown in the display and are read-only. 65 Service & maintenance Contact for support 4444 Service & maintenance Chapter 4: Service & maintenance DSC self test To run a control routine DSC self test, do as follows: 1. Press the soft key SETUP. If it is not in the display, press the soft key MORE until SETUP appears. 2. Press the arrow soft key or to advance to DSC SETUP. 3. Turn the selector wheel knob to select DSC Self Test. Press and turn the selector wheel knob to select RUN. The test will check the ability to encode/decode DSC signalling on RF level. The radio will automatically transmit a DSC safety test call to its own MMSI number without enabling the transmitter power amplifier. In parallel the radio decodes and compares the received call to be the same as the transmitted. The display shows the result of TEST RESULT TEST RESULT the test. 4. Press the soft key OK to acknowledge the test result and resume normal operation. DSC loopback test passed DSC loopback test FAILED Troubleshooting guide Action Symptom Remedy The radio will not turn on The display is empty. Check if power is present. Check fuse which is placed in the + supply wire. Check performance of power supply if connected to one. 66 Maintenance Chapter 4: Service & maintenance Remedy No communication The loudspeaker is mute. Check the antenna installation. Check antenna cable. Check handset/Handmicrophone and cable. GPS Position requested. If the VHF, despite being connected to a GPS/position source, prompts for entering the position and time information, the automated update has most likely been lost either due to missing data on the line, broken cabling or the GPS/position source has failed. Refer to the installation section in the back of this manual for installation and connection details. Until the automatic position update from GPS/position source is restored position and time must be entered manually when prompted by a (four hour) timer in VHF. In the DSC SETUP, Position Info, you can verity the position data. If data is present Lat/Lon/UTC will be displayed. Maintenance 67 Service & maintenance Symptom 4444 Action Chapter 4: Service & maintenance Action Symptom DSC routine testing Remedy Check the DSC function regularly. Verify the complete DSC installation, with antennas, by transmitting a Safety Test call to another station (coast or ship). The test call is generated using the DSC call flow via menu CALL. The call should normally be replied by the receiving station without questioning. The default configuration of a SP6215/16 is autoacknowledgement of any received Safety test call requests. If a ship is equipped with multiple radios a second radio can be the station to check up against. The transmitting radio will not receive its own transmitted calls. If there is only a single radio on a vessel, a facility is built into the unit where the DSC engine can be verified using a test call that is internally looped without activating the radio transmitter PA. The test is executed via menu SETUP, DSC SETUP. The call sequence that is verified, is an Individual Safety Test Call directed to own MMSI. The test status is read in the display. Missing MMSI 68 DSC operation is not working When powering up the VHF for the first time after leaving factory there is no MMSI number in the VHF radio. For the DSC operation to function the MMSI number must be entered in the VHF radio. For further details see Entering the MMSI number on page 7. Maintenance Chapter 4: Service & maintenance Remedy Radio time DSC logs are sorted with wrong time stamp or radio time is incorrect A wrong radio time indication should occur only if GPS position source is not connected or providing correct time data. A valid GPS time signal will update the UTC time used for time stamping the DSC logs. If a GPS/position source is not connected to the VHF radio and hence position and time is entered manually, you must enter the "radio time" also manually, at least after power up. This will ensure correct time stamping of the DSC logs. The UTC time is the suggested time to be entered when prompted for entering position and time manually (every four hours). DSC Channel not free DSC transmission delayed The transmission of a DSC call which is not of category distress or urgency will be postponed if the VHF radio is in the process of decoding an incoming DSC call. As soon as this decoding process has finalized the transmission will take place. Handset configuration No sound in earpiece The earpiece volume may be configured to OFF. See section Controller setup on page 10 on how to adjust the earpiece volume of the handset. Maintenance 69 Service & maintenance Symptom 4444 Action Chapter 4: Service & maintenance Action Symptom Device failure Remedy If any of the checks and tests described in this section do not assist in resolving the difficulties experienced in the operation and/or performance of the VHF installation, a fault may have developed in the VHF radio itself. When contacting an authorized Thrane & Thrane representative be sure to provide as much information as possible describing the observed behavior - also including the type of the VHF radio, its serial number, and software release version (both found in the setup menu Controller Setup). Replacing the fuse in the red wire (Power +) One fuse is installed in the supplied DC cable. If the fuse is blown, track down why the fuse was blown and solve the problem. To replace the fuse, do as follows: 1. Hold both ends of the fuse holder and pull it apart. 2. Take out the old fuse. 3. Insert the new fuse. The fuse rating is 10 A T. 4. Make sure that the fuse is tightly fixed on the metal contact inside the fuse holder. 5. Put together the fuse holder. 70 Maintenance Chapter 4: Service & maintenance SAILOR 6209 Accessory connection box You can connect the SAILOR 6209 Accessory Connection Box for input from GPS (NMEA) and SAILOR 6201 Handset option.
