overview of the system components involved.

3.1 Purpose of the system

The purpose of the SeaCom maritimecommunication system is to give the seameneasy and reliable on board communicationbetween all essential places on board a ship,as well as giving the possibility of makingtelephone calls to and from the ship, viasatellite communication terminals.

3.2 Operational features

The list below gives an overview of thefeatures to be found:

- On board communication- Distribute satellite communication- Talk back command- Public Address (PA)- Time distribution- Wake up calls- Call Data Management

3.2.1 On board communication

On board conversations between bridge,ECR, cabins, offices, work shop, deck etc.

All locations, no matter if it is dry, wet, noisy ordirty, can be covered by either an plain oldanalogue telephone or one of ourcommunication stations with handset, headsetor loudhailer.

3.2.2 Distribute satcom

Calls from the ship to shore can be conductedfrom all places on board. The seaman canhave his privacy by calling the family from hiscabin for example.

Calls from shore to ship can be distributed toall locations on board, typically to bridge,captains cabin or to ship office. You don‟thave to be on the bridge to answer Yourincoming satellite calls.

3.2.3 Talk back

Our communication stations SeaCom 211,SeaCom 411 and SeaCom 421 can be usedto implement the classical talk-back functions.

A call from bridge to mooring stations forexample, can be set up from bridge, withouthands-on on deck. Groups of stations can be

addressed simultaneously when performing acommand group conference call.

3.2.4 PA functions

The SeaCom communication system candistribute public address (acoustic paging) toall stations with loudspeakers.The system gives possibility of defining groupswith priority levels. The system can be set upto send a gong signal preceding the spokenmessage.

PA calls are initiated from telephones andcommunication stations, and does not requirespecial control stations with goose neckmicrophones.

3.2.5 Time distrib. and wake up

Using telephones with display gives thepossibility for displaying the ships clock on thetelephones. The time displayed can be setmanually by a simple telephone call, or theSeaCom communication system can receivethe time from a central clock system usingserial NMEA communication.

Based on the system time, wake up calls canbe ordered from any telephone connected tothe system.

3.2.6 Call Data Management

A ship owner that wants to register calls madevia the satellite equipment connected canmake use of our Call Data Managementsystem.

The seamen are given accounts and PINcodes which are used to open the access tothe satellite lines. When conversations areconducted, call data records are stored on thesystem disk. Based on these stored data, theresponsible officer can print invoices coveringthe telephone calls made.

4.3 Selecting the exchange system

Based on the analysis , the basic exchangesystem must be selected, Either the SeaCom1000 or the SeaCom 2100, and the circuitboards to be added to this basic system mustbe chosen.The choice depends on how many extensionboards and trunk boards that are needed, andthe number of CTU‟2 (cable termination units)

and PDU‟s (power distribution units) neededto actually terminate the ship cables for thepurpose.Use the below guide for doing this:

4.3.1 Extensions lines (AEXT8)

The total number of extension lines includinglines for the stations SeaCom 411, SeaCom211 and SeaCom 421 shall be counted. Dividethe number by 8 and round the numberupwards. This number is the number of

AEXT8 boards needed.

Each extension board need one A1 or A2connector of a CTU‟s to terminate the shipcables.

4.3.2 Trunk and audio I/O (FIO2)

Next count the number of 2 wire trunk linesneeded for connecting satellite communication

equipments, and the number of audio in/outneeded for connecting music and externalamplifiers to the system. Divide this numberby 2 and round upwards. This will give thenumber of FIO2 boards needed.

An FIO2 board implementing 2 analogue trunkwires can be terminated at the T connector ofa CTU, whereas an FIO2 board which haveone or two audio I/O‟s must be terminated atan A1 or A2 connector on a CTU board.


20/149


SeaCom 10-600-0010_0401 TMN100510CJ01_0401

4.3.3 Cable terminations (CTU)

The cable termination units are used to makeconnection between the printed circuit boardof the exchange and the ships cabling.

One CTU has 2 A connectors - A1 and A2 -which can terminate 8 extension lines each.The A1 and A2 can also terminate an FIO2board which is meant to make one or twoaudio I/O interfaces. In the case that an FIO2

shall make up one analogue trunk and oneaudio I/O, both these channels will beterminated using an A1 or A2 connector.The CTU also has a T connector which iscapable of terminating a FIO boardimplementing only 2 channels of analogue 2wire trunks, at the same time as the A1 and

A2 connectors are used for other purposes.

The number of CTU‟s needed must becalculated based on the number of AEXT8,number of FIO2 boards and the type ofinterfaces the FIO2 board implements.

4.3.4 Power distribution (PDU)

After counting the number of stations andtelephones, the number of stations requiring24V DC power must be counted. These arethe stations SeaCom 411, SeaCom 211 andSeaCom 421.

If the number is 4 or less, the auxillary outputof the power input module (PIM) found internalto the exchange systems can be used forpowering these stations. If the number is 5 ormore, a PDU (power distribution unit) must beadded for each 32 stations.

4.3.5 Conclusion

Based on the counting of AEXT8, FIO2, CTU‟sand PDU‟s the choice between the theSeaCom 1000 and the SeaCom 2100 can bemade. Both systems have a basicconfiguration with one AEXT8 board and oneFIO2 board and one CTU. These boards mustbe included in the overall counting.

SeaCom 1000:

A maximum of 6 AEXT8 or FIO2 boards canbe added to the basic configuration

A maximum of 3 CTU and PDU‟s can beadded to the basic configuration, givingmaximum 4 CTU‟s and PDU‟s

SeaCom 2100:

A maximum of 15 AEXT8 or FIO2 boards canbe added to the basic configuration

A maximum of 15 CTU and PDU‟s can beadded to the basic configuration, givingmaximum 16 CTU‟s and PDU‟s

4.4 Assembling the exchange

The exchanges must be assembled accordingto the customer requirements.This paragraph takes you through theassembly process.

Refer to chapter 9 for explanations of what isinside.

4.4.1 Card guides

In order to insert circuit boards into the boardmagazine, plastic card guides must be used.

These are mounted in “click in” fashion at thepositions requiring a circuit board.

4.4.2 Inserting boards

Then slide the boards into position and makesure that they are properly pushed into thebackplane connector.


21/149


SeaCom 10-600-0010_0401 TMN100510CJ01_0401

Be sure that the FIO2 boards are jumpedaccording to the intended use. Refer tochapter 10.3.12

4.4.2.1

Board positions

The figure below shows the boards and theirtypical locations. PSU, CP2 and theFIO2Master cannot be moved. Other boardscan be located at any free position.

E x t e n s I o n s CP trunk Power

4.4.3 Mounting CTU’s

The CTU‟s are then mounted using 4 3x6mmscrews.Use labeling for documentation.

4.4.4 Mounting the ribbon cables

The boards of the boards magazine areconnected to the CTU‟s using 16 wire ribboncables. These cables are taken over the steel

rod over which the rack frame swings, andsecured using strips.

Extension boards are wired to the A1 or A2connectors of the CTUs, as well as are FIO2boards which are not entirely used as trunkinterfaces.FIO2 boards configured as two analogue trunklines can be terminated at the T connector of aCTU board, disregarding the use of the A1and A2 connector.

It is the responsibility of the installer to make a

proper documentation for the internal wiring.

4.5 Power

The exchange system and the communicationstations need 24V DC power for its operating,and it is strongly recommended that thispower is backed up by a 24V DC battery,typically the radio battery of the ship.Therefore the PIM module has two powerinputs: M+ - and B + -

A PDU (power distribution unit) is used todistribute 24V DC to the stations.

4.5.1 Mounting PDU’s

The PDU‟s are mounted, and the power inputconnected to the auxiliary power output of thePIM module, for maximum 10 stations, ordirectly to the 24V DC power supply, if largernumber of stations are to be powered.

A rule of thumb is that 10 stations can bepowered via the PIM module auxiliary output.

The picture shows the PDU and the wiring tothe auxiliary output of the PIM module.

4.5.2 Fusing

IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THEINSTALLER TO MAKE PROPER FUSING

When assembling a system, the proper fusesmust be inserted into the F1 and F2 fuseholder of the PIM module (max 6.3A) , and

into the 4 fuse holders of the PDU module(max 4A).The wiring of the power supply must be madewith wires of appropriate dimension to ensurethat the fuses blow before the wires burns,and the power supply used to power thesystem must be designed to be able to delivera current capable of blowing the fuses. Moreever a good design includes an external fuseand breaker inserted in the 24V DC system.

SeaCom 10-600-0010_0401 TMN100510CJ01_0401

4.5.3 Power consumption - exchange

The power needed for the exchange systemcan be roughly calculated from the belowformula:

Pexh = 15W + 0.25W * Next

where

Next is the number of extensions installed.Pexh is the stand by power used by theexchange.

4.5.4 Power consumption - stations

Except for the analogue telephones and theSeaCom 220, all the communication stationsalso require 24V DC power. The powerneeded depends on the actual operation ofcommunication, where especially the PA calls,

which can engage all stations simultaneously,must be taken into account, in order to ensurethat the peak power needed can really bedelivered by the power supply chosen.

A guideline is:

Pstby = 2.0W * Nst

Ppeak = 2.0W * Nst + 22W * Nstpa

Pstby is the idle power usedPpeak is the peak power usedNst is the number of station requiring

Nstpa is the number of stations engagedin PA calls

4.6 The assembled exchange system

The figure below shows the assembledsystem before mounting the card fixing rails.

At the lowest right corner of the cabletermination area, is the PIM (power inputmodule) which holds the two 24V DC inputsand fuses.


23/149


SeaCom 10-600-0010_0401 TMN100510CJ01_0401

4.7 First time power up

When the exchange is assembled, it is time topower up. Connect 24V DC to the PIMmodule, and check that the green indicatorsare lit. Also a green indictor on PSU in theboard magazine is on. This means that 24VDC power is present.

The red indicator, shows that one of thepowers main or battery is missing. Link the

two power inputs to make it turn off.If only single power is used, then link the twoinputs, and the red indicator turns off.

Next push the ON/OFF switch down andwatch the system powering up.

Indicators of the PSU shows green, and thesystem boots the WinXPE operating system,and the CP application starts. After this thecircuit boards are auto detected andconfigured. When the Red/yellow indicator ofthe FIO2 master board starts flashing, thesystem is up operating, and all extension linescan be tested for having a dial tone.

4.7.1 Burn-in

It is good practice to test all extension lines,

and to make a two or tree days burn- in of thesystem with a renewed test before making thedelivery.

The exchange must be installed in a locationon board giving the lowest length of cable tobe used.It must be located in a dry ventilated spacewith a maximum ambient temperature of 55dgs, the cooler the longer lifetime shall beexpected.

5.2 Cables

All cables used for telephones and stations

shall be twisted pair, shielded cable. Fortelephones only, 0,75mm

2is recommended,

and for stations requiring power to be send onthe signalling cable, 1mm

2 at each 100m

distance shall be used to ensure low powerloss.

5.3 Wiring diagram

It is the responsibility of the installer to makesure that a full system diagram exist for properdocumentation of the full installation. This ismost often made in cooperation with the

shipyard.

5.4 Mounting the exchange

The exchange must be mounted on abulkhead in a vertical style to ensure that theintended air flow can be realized.

Mounting the exchange – note the 20mm airgap between the exchange and the bulkhead.

Do not mount the exchange horisontal.

Do not mount the exchange so the air gapbehind is closed

5.5 Mounting the stations

Mounting stations are quite straight forward,but if superb hands-free performance shall beobtained with the SeaCom 411 the acousticdesign must be taken into account. Refer tochapter 11.3.

5.5.1 Bulkhead

The communication stations SeaCom 211,SeaCom 421 and the SeaCom 220 are allboxed and mounted on a bulkhead.

The mounting bracket is made of stainlesssteel, and it is possible to make use of theselection of 5mm mounting screw holes.


25/149


SeaCom 10-600-0010_0401 TMN100510CJ01_0401

The mounting bracket is galvanic isolated fromthe box itself, so that there will be no galvaniccorrosion of the aluminium box.

When mounting the stations care must betaken to use both PG entries in the bottom, orblind the one not used off.

And care must be taken to make a propercable installation which ensures watertightness of the assembly.

Do not remove the Gore vent found on thelower right side of the stations.

This is meant as a pressure relief valveprotecting moisture from entering the stations

5.5.2 Flush mount

SeaCom 411 is meant for console flushmount.

It is delivered with an isolating gasket andisolating washers, so that it is possible tomake a galvanic isolated mounting, preventingthe stations frame from being connected to theconsole.

5.6 Power considerations

Power supply – 24V DC – is taken to theexchange unit. Typically an AC/DC converteris used, which is connected to the main powerinput, and the 24V DC from the shops radiobattery is connected to the battery input. Or apower supply with build in switchover can beused (for example the Sailor PS4655)

5.6.1 Galvanic connection to battery

Note that this creates galvanic connectionbetween the power ground of the SeaCommaritime communication system and thebattery.

This connection is allowed because thecommunication and telephone system isisolated entirely from ship‟s hull.

5.6.2 Fuses

Always use fuses in the power supply circuitthat can be blown by the actual power supplyused, and make sure that the wires used willstand this current.

5.6.3 Common power supply only

Power to the communication stations MUSTbe taken from the exchange using a PDU.This ensures that 0V power on the exchangesystem is also 0V power for thecommunication stations.

Using local power supply for thecommunication stations is only allowed withthe SeaCom 421 and SeaCom 411 but it isNOT recommended.

5.7 Shielding and protective earth

When installing the SeaCom maritime

communication system, shielding is of theutmost importance.

The shield of the cables are used for twopurposes:

Reducing immunity to noise from cables takenin parallel with the telephone andcommunication wires

Protective Earth (PE) used for making thesystem safe for the operator to use, protectingfrom high voltages by accident connected tothe system.

5.7.1 At the exchange

The box of the exchange have PE terminalswhich shall be connected using aYellow/Green wire to PE of the ship or shipshull close to the exchange location.


26/149


SeaCom 10-600-0010_0401 TMN100510CJ01_0401

5.7.2 Wiring and junction boxes

The system shall preferably be wired so thatall cables are taken from the central exchangeunit to the stations in one cable with oneshield taken unbroken all the way fromexchange to the stations.If a multi core cable is used out of theexchange, conducting several extension linesto a junction box where it is split into a numberof cables to each communication location, thiswill be allowed. In this case the shields of themulti core cable and the shields of the singlecore cables must be connected in the junctionbox, without being connected to anything else.

5.7.3 At the stations

At the stations, the shield is taken inside thebox and is connected directly to the backside

of the enclosure where a PE stay 4mm will befound.This PE stay is used for connecting the shieldof headset cable and speaker cables as well.

Do NOT connect the PE terminal of thestations to ship‟s hull, only to shield of cables.

This figure shows schematically the way the shields should be connected.Note that there is only one point of connection to ship‟s hull / PE.

6. Commissioning

When the system is properly installed onboard, time has come for commissioning thesystem. If installation and wiring is made by aninstaller company, it is the responsibility of the

person commissioning the system to verifythat the installation is done according to therecommendations.

Commissioning includes the below disciplines:

- Powering on for the first time- Making sure that the system

programming, call numbers etc. arecorrectly set up

- Testing all extensions andcommunication stations

- Making sure that an end user manualis available.

6.1 First time power on

It is recommended that a step by step powerup sequence is followed:

Remove the cover of the exchange and swingup the board magazine.

Remove all fuses of the PDU‟s and removefuse F1 and F2 of the PIM module.

Apply 24V DC and flip the ON/OFF switchdown and view the system start up. This takesapproximately 2 minutes. After this, dial tonesshall be heard in all the analogue telephonesconnected.

Now it is time to power up the communicationstations one by one by successively inserting

the fuses F1 and F2 first, and then one by onethe fuses of the PDU. Successively verifyingthat the stations are alive.

6.2 System programming

The SeaCom system is extremely flexible, alldepending on the system programming andconfiguration chosen by the installer. Forinstructions in how to use the configurationtool software, refer to chapter 12.

There are 4 main disciplines:

- Setting equipment types- Call number plan- Access control- System call numbers

6.3 Equipment type

For each extension line, the equipmenthanging on that line must be set. By default alllines are set to basic analogue telephone withno display, but for the communication stations,it is important for the full set of features to berevealed, that the system programming begins

with setting the equipment type of eachanalogue extension line.If an extension line is connected to a SeaCom411 station, the line must be set up to be ofsuch type for example the direct in calls towork properly.

6.4 Number plan

The number plan of the installation must bedetermined. Call numbers of all extensions, allcommunication stations, all trunk lines, allaudio in/out must be programmed as well as

the text description of them.


28/149


SeaCom 10-600-0010_0401 TMN100510CJ01_0401

Be aware of number conflicts and double callnumbers.

6.5 Access privileges

SeaCom maritime communication system,gives a wide range of possibilities forrestricting the use of services to selectedextensions only.For example will it be possible to open theCaptains telephone for access to outgoingcalls via a satellite service, whereas a crewtelephone will only be able to receive calls onthe same service.This is done using service groups or accessprivilege settings.

Refer to chapter 12.

6.6 System call numbers

The number plan must also include systemcall numbers. These call numbers arerepresenting functions like wake-up ordering,set-date-and-time, priority call, direct in and soon.

The below list shows the possible system callsto install:

- Priority- Direct in calls- Set-date-and-time- Wake-up

- Ringing groups- Short numbers- PA calls- Call pickup- Conference calls (talk-back)- Do not disturb

6.7 Testing

When all stations are powered up, it is time fortesting. Testing requires two persons, one inthe exchange room, and the other visiting thelocations with telephones armed with a VHF

radio. All positions having either an analoguetelephone or a communication station must bevisited.

A good tool is to connect a test telephone inthe exchange room, and open the VNCviewerwith which it is possible to check the callnumber of the last active extension.

6.7.1 Extensions

Telephones are checked for having dial tone,and for having the desired call number andname. A call must be set up from each

telephone to the test telephone in theexchange room, and vice versa.

6.7.2 Stations

Commissioning the communication stations isa little more complex, as the stations all havesettings to take care of.Refer to the chapters describing each stationsfor details.

The below paragraphs describes what as aminimum have to be checked.

6.7.2.1 SeaCom 211 the talk-back stations

The SeaCom 211 station have gains to be setfor adjusting gains of microphones andspeakers. These must be adjusted properly.

And the 3 push buttons must be programmedto address the right call number, typicallybridge or ECR

6.7.2.2

SeaCom 220 industrial telephone

The SeaCom 220 will normally operate withthe factory settings only, but gains can also beadjusted for this telephone also.

6.7.2.3

SeaCom 421 and SeaCom 411

These stations can be installed in hands freeonly, or with handset and/or headset. All thisequipment must be checked and especiallythe microphone gains be checked.

If the stations are operated in hands free, then

the hands free gain margin setting must bechecked, to make sure that the margin is setas low as possible without acousticalfeedback. Especially if external speaker isused, this parameter is important, and factorysetting cannot be relied on, as the acousticalreturn signal cannot be foreseen.

6.7.3 Trunk lines

Systems with trunk lines connected to satelliteequipment, shall have these connectionstested during commissioning. Always test both

outgoing and incoming calls. It must beverified that incoming calls are really handledand that the routing is really as desired.

6.7.4 I/O

If music in is used or if an audio out channel isused, these shall be tested.

6.7.5 Testing system call numbers

All system call numbers must be checked.


29/149


SeaCom 10-600-0010_0401 TMN100510CJ01_0401

6.7.6 Access privileges

When testing extensions, it is necessary toverify that access to or blocking of access tofeatures like satellite services are reallyinstalled.

6.8 End user manual

It is the responsibility of the companycommissioning the system to create an enduser manual. This manual is to be used by thecrew members using the SeaCom system.

Take chapter 7 as a starting point for thismanual.

The Book which You are reading now is notmeant as a manual for crew.


30/149


SeaCom 10-600-0010_0401 TMN100510CJ01_0401

7. Operation

This chapter s a generic user manual, whichtells about the way the system works, and theway system functions behave. The chapter isto be used as a starting point for making the

end user manual which must be delivered witheach installation.

7.1 Making and transferring a call

Making calls are made as with any telephonesystem. Lift the handset of a telephone anddial the number You want to call. Terminatethe call by hanging up again.When in conversations, calls can betransferred by pressing the R button, whichmakes the system present a new dial toneupon which You can dial the number totransfer a call to.

A transfer can be made with or withoutpresentation.

7.2 Ringing signals

The SeaCom system generates 3 types ofringing signals to extensions andcommunication stations:

Incoming call from trunk line(1s ringing with 5 s pause)

_____ ______

Local call(2 short ringing with 5s pause)

___ ___ ___ ___

Talk back call(3 short ringing with 5s pause)

___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___

7.3 Tone signals

The SeaCom system generates 3 types oftone signals heard when making calls.

Ringing to B extension(1s tone with 5 s pause)

_____ ______

Busy or error or wrong number dialled(intermittent tone)

___ ___ ___ ___

Transfer caused by Do-Not-Disturb(3 short tones)

__ __ __

7.4 Priority call

The priority call number is the * (asterisk)followed by the call number to interrupt.

Example: *20

If a call is made to an extension that isoccupied, then hang on and make a new callto the extension where the dialling is precededby the *. This will make a priority call to theextension. The ongoing conversation isparked, and the breaker can speak to theinterrupted extension. When the priority callhas ended, the interrupted conversation is re-

established.

7.5 Direct in

The Direct-in feature can be used withSeaCom 211, SeaCom 421 and SeaCom 411only.It is made by dialling the priority call number *twice followed by the call number.

Example: **20

Such a call will make the called station hookoff without any hands on by the receiver. The

SeaCom 411 and SeaCom 421 enters hands-free mode and conversations or listening iseffective.Direct in to the SeaCom 211 station is to beconsidered a single station PA call, as it isonly possible to speak from the caller to theSeaCom 211.

7.6 Direct in to ringing group

A special feature is direct in calls to a ringinggroup.

When a bridge is equipped with more than

one station with the direct-in call possibility(typically SeaCom 411‟s), and they are allincluded in a ringing group which is used forcalling the bridge (example: number 9). Thena direct in call to the bridge by dialling **9 willbe directed to the last one of the bridgetelephones that called number 9.It is thus possible for the seamen to chose anactive position to receive direct in calls, simplyby indicating activity by dialling the bridgegroup call number.

SeaCom 10-600-0010_0401 TMN100510CJ01_0401

7.7 Setting system time

The system time of the SeaCom system canbe adjusted by a calling the below numbers:

#120 + 8 digits date (YYYYMMDD)

#121 + 4 digits time (HHMM)

If the time is valid, a dial tone will be heard. Ifthe time is not valid the busy tone will beheard.

7.8 Ordering a Wake-up Call

Wake up calls can be ordered by the belowcall numbers:

#110 Cancel wake up

#111 + 4 digits (HHMM) Order wake up

#112 + 4 digits (HHMM) Order repeated

Wake-up can be ordered to be executed onlyonce, or daily wake-up can be ordered byusing the repeated call.

When the wake up time has arrived, a callfrom the system to the extension will be made.The display (if any) will show “Wake-up call”. Ifthe wake-up is acknowledged by is lifting thehandset during the wake-up call, the call willbe terminated.If a wake-up call is not acknowledged in thisway, it will be repeated after 5 minutes. Thiswill be done 2 times, after which the wake upcall is terminated.

7.9 Ringing groups

If a bridge has 3 telephones, these can beincluded in a ringing group. (example callnumber 9). When number 9 is called, all 3telephones on the bridge will ring. The firstone picked up will answer the call, which inturn stops the ringing on the 2 other phones.

If one of the bridge telephones is busy, and acall to the group comes in, i t will be heard onthe bridge that a second call is coming in. Inthis situation it is possible to hang up on thebusy phone, which shortly after will startringing in parallel with the other telephones ofthe group. The call can be answered just bylifting off again.

7.10 Using the call data manager

On systems where the CDM system isinstalled. (Call Data Manager), dialling out viasatellite services are made by the followingdial sequence:

Dial: #10 to access the CDM service

Dial: AA Two digits account number

Dial: PPPP Four digits pin code

Dial: 004586296297#

Wait for answer and speak.

When the conversation is ended, a call datarecord is stored on the system disk of the CPboard.

7.11 Paging calls

Paging calls can be received by thecommunication stations with speakers -SeaCom 211, SeaCom 421 and SeaCom 411only.

Dial #08 which turns on a selected set of

stations and plays the ding dong sound tothese stations. Hereafter a spoken messagecan be send to these stations.

Paging calls can be made from any extensionor station given the privilege to do so.

7.12 Alarm calls

Alarm calls can be received by thecommunication stations with speakers -SeaCom 211, SeaCom 421 and SeaCom 411only.Dial #09 which turns on a selected set of

stations and plays the alarm sound to thesestations. If the alarm shall be interrupted by aspoken message, this can be done bypressing the R button. This will stop the alarmtone, and the spoken message can be send.When pressing the R button once again, thealarm tone continues. Alarm calls can bemade from any extension or station given theprivilege to do so.

7.13 Call pickup

When a ringing telephone is heard on board,

dial #05 to pick up the call.Calls incoming from satellite services can bepicked up, as well as local on board calls.

7.14 Music when free

If an audio in channel is configured, theSeaCom 411 and SeaCom 421 can call themusic when free call number #061, whichmakes the station open the speaker and listento the music input channel. If a call comes inor the keyboard is activated for an call, themusic is halted. When the conversation isended, the music channel is opened againuntil the call number #060 is used to cancelthe music when free option.

8. Maintenance

When the system is properly installed there isno daily maintenance, but some componentsare worn out and need regular maintenance orreplacement.

Refer to the list of parts chapter 1.

8.1 Headsets

The part most often worn out is the headsetsof communication stations located inworkshops and other areas with dirtyenvironment.

In order to make an easy replacement, it isrecommended always to use the headset withwater tight connector set.

8.2 Batteries of analogue telephones

If the TX-250 telephones are used, the hands-free function and the display function dependson batteries.These batteries typically last 6 months, lesswhen frequently used.

Check and replace batteries of all telephoneevery 6 months.In locations where this is not practically to bedone, use an analogue telephone withoutdisplay and hands-free.

10. Circuit boards.

This chapter holds detailed technicalinformation about all circuit boards used in theexchange systems.

10.1 PSU power supply unit

The PSU is found in the rightmost position ofthe board magazine.

Its purpose is to convert 24V DC into theinternal used system voltages +5V , -5V, -48VDC and 80V AC 50 Hz.

All inputs and outputs are carried through thebackplane connector.

Beside this, the power supply holds the

ON/OFF switch, and it has the overall systemwatchdog which is kicked by commands fromthe CP.

10.1.1 Technical data

- Dual input with switchover- Input voltage 18 to 32V DC- Output 5VD 5A- Output 5VA 750mA- Output -5VA 750mA- Output -48V 4A- Output 80V AC 50Hz 250mA- N.O. alarm relay contact

- Watchdog- Temperature supervision

10.1.2 ON/OFF switch

The ON/OFF has 3 positions:

Mid position is OFF

Down position is ON

Up is used for fast turn off.

Switching from OFF to ON starts a power up

sequence where the power supply turnspowers on and tests if these are OK.

Switching from ON to OFF starts the powerdown sequence, which takes 10 seconds.

When in ON and the Up position is used for ashort time, the power supply will skip thepower down sequence and turn ofimmediately.

10.1.3 Indicators

The PSU has 6 indicators:

Indicator Use

Input power Green- On when input is OK

Function Yellow- Flashing when power on orpower of process is running.Occulting when on batteryoperation

Error indicator Red- On when fatal errorFlashing when temperaturehigh

5V indicator Green- On when 5V is OK

-48V indicator Green- On when -48V is OK

70V AC Green- On when 70V AC is turnedon (Only the case when anytelephone is active)

10.1.4 Alarm relay

The power supply has a N.C. alarm relaycontact. This relay is driving the alarm relay ofthe PIM module, so it is normally not accesseddirectly by the installer.

The alarm relay is normally closed, but will

open on temperature errors or power supplyinternal errors.


40/149


SeaCom 10-600-0010_0401 TMN100510CJ01_0401

10.1.5 Fan drive

An open collector output is used to drive a fanrelay located on the PIM module. The fanrelay is activated based on temperaturemeasurements.

10.1.6 Input power supervision

If the source supply voltage is below 18V thepower supply will switch off and stay as suchuntil the input voltage exceeds 20V. Duringpower low, the power indicator will flash.

10.1.7 Temperature protection

The power supply has a temperatureprotection mechanism. The scheme belowshows its actions:

Temperature Action

< 35°C Fan off Alarm relay closed

> 45°C Fan on Alarm relay closed

> 70°C Error indicator on Alarm relay open

> 85°C Shut down Alarm relay open

Note that when the alarm is set, the alarmcannot be reset unless the system is turnedoff and back on. The on/off switch will not dothis.
