Preface 2

Radio for occupational use

The SAILOR 6222 VHF DSC fulfils the requirements of the Marine

Equipment Directive 96/98/EC and the amending Directive

2002/75/EC and is intended for use in maritime environment.

SAILOR 6222 VHF DSC is designed for occupational use only and

must be operated by licensed personnel only.

SAILOR 6222 VHF DSC is not intended for use in an uncontrolled

environment by general public.

SAILOR 6222 VHF DSC is designed for installation by a skilled

service person.

vii

Training information 3

The SAILOR 6222 VHF DSC is designed for occupational use only

and is also classified as such. It must be operated by licensed

personnel only. 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 6222 VHF DSC 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 200 cm for the maximum power of your

radio (25W selected) with an half wave omni-directional antenna

viii

having a maximum gain of 4 dB. This means all persons must be at

least 200 cm away from the antenna when the radio is

transmitting.

Installation

1. An omni-directional antenna with a maximum power gain of

4 dB must be mounted at least 400 cm 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 200 cm plus the 200 cm 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 ft. (0.9m)

vertically above the heads of people on deck and all persons

must be outside the 200 cm MPE radius during radio

transmission.

• Always mount the antenna at least 200 cm from possible

human access.

• Never touch the antenna when transmitting

• Use only authorized T&T accessories.

3. If the 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 200 cm 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.

What is a Session?

A DSC session is defined as a collection of DSC calls (transmitted and/or

received) that are related to the same event (e.g. a distress event) or

established call (e.g. an individual call request followed by an

acknowledgement).

A session can be either active or on hold. The active session has control over

the radio transmitter. A session can have a purpose. For example if the

purpose is to establish a communication on a working channel.

The non-DSC VHF communication is considered as a session that can be active

(engaged) or on hold (dis-engaged). See also Engagement status on page 18.

If the radio is in stand-by mode, i.e. not engaged in another session, and a

DSC call is received the call details are shown on the display.

After having silenced the alarm you can

acknowledge the call, put it on hold or display

more information. If you put the call on hold,

the session icon for this call will flash until

you have acknowledged the call.

Handling multiple calls — DSC and voice

The SAILOR 6222 VHF DSC can control multiple DSC sessions simultaneously

with a VHF communication session. All sessions can keep track of their session

state and the communication channel used. They are handled in their

respective sessions, in the order as they are started up.

You can toggle between the

ongoing calls/sessions, that means

that a call — or session — can be on

hold or active. If there are several

calls ongoing, they are shown in

the display with their respective

state (active, on hold, requiring

attention). Use the soft key to

leaf through all ongoing calls or

sessions. The DSC sessions on hold

can receive calls that are pertinent to the session, even when the session is

not displayed.

The example on this page shows that two sessions are ongoing, the inverted R

ATIS code The ATIS code (Automatic Transmitter Identification System) is used for

identification to marine coast and inland stations and its use is

mandatory in a number of European inland waterways such as e.g. the

river Rhine. Like the MMSI number the ATIS number is issued by the

relevant authority.

ATIS for foreign leisure crafts: For ships coming from states which are

not member of the Regional Arrangement the ATIS-Code is based on

the MMSI with a 9 as the first digit.a

Note: The ATIS number can be programmed once. If a wrong number

has been entered and stored, or if there is a requirement to change it,

contact your authorized dealer.

Service & maintenance 3

Contact for support

Contact your authorized dealer for technical service and support of the VHF

radio. 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 6222 VHF DSC 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 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.

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 knob to select DSC Self Test. Press and turn the selector

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

the test.

4. Press the soft key OK to

acknowledge the test result and

resume normal operation.

Important

If the DSC loopback test fails, this indicates the DSC

functionality does not work correctly — including the ability to

send a DISTRESS message.

Chapter 3: Service & maintenance

50 Troubleshooting guide

DSC routine

testing

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 DSC VHF radio is auto-

acknowledgement 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.

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.
