Introduction

General Description

The GMDSS Distress Alarm Panel is used for remote initiation of distress alert transmissions

and visible and audible indication of incoming distress and urgency calls on VHF, MF/HF,

and Inmarsat-C. Normally it is installed on the bridge at the conning position.

The Alarm Panel contains three main sections, intended for connection to System 5000 VHF,

System 5000 MF/HF equipment, and Inmarsat-C SES equipment. All sections work inde-

pendently and all control signals are galvanically isolated by opto-couplers.

For Inmarsat-C and VHF, the Alarm Panel has duplicated connections allowing two units of

each system to be supported simultaneously. Each section includes a push button for

distress alert initiation, and a distress annunciator for indication of distress alert transmission

in progress or distress or urgency calls received. Additionally there is an annunciator for

indication of equipment type. This is switched on when the appropriate transceiver has been

sensed by the Alarm Panel.

If a distress alarm is initiated on a system with duplicated units, only one of the units will

send the alarm. The selected unit is indicated on the display.

To protect against inadvertent activation the distress buttons are protected by spring loaded

transparent covers. A button must be kept pressed for 5 seconds before the distress alert is

initiated, during which time the audible alarm is beeping and the distress button is flashing.

The Alarm Panel is supplied from 24 V DC supply voltage (21 V to 32 V). The input is

reverse polarity protected.

Operation

Distress

Sending Distress Alert

Open the key cover and press the ‘DISTRESS’ push button for minimum 5 seconds. The

alert button and the selection annunciator for the active unit flashes, and the buzzer sounds

periodically.

When the distress alert transmission starts, the distress button and the selection annunciator

change to a constant light. This indication is also given if a distress alert is initiated from the

transceiver.

When a distress acknowledgement has been received the distress annunciator flashes and

the buzzer sounds periodically - except Inmarsat-C equipment where distress button

changes to a slow cycle and the buzzer remains silent. Furthermore the dimmer will be set to

full light intensity.

When the distress acknowledgement has been read out or a distress/urgency alert has been

cancelled at the appropriate transceiver, the call lamp and buzzer on the Alarm Panel are

switched off.

Reception of Distress or Urgency Calls

Reception of Distress or Urgency calls, EGCs, and messages are indicated by a slowly

flashing distress annunciator and a periodic sound from the buzzer. Furthermore the dimmer

will be set to full light intensity.

0715

General

Test the Alarm Panel

Pressing and holding the Test button will make all light indicators and alarm buttons flash.

Pressing any other button while holding the Test button, will sound the buzzer enabling

verification of the buttons and the audible indicator.

Note that this only tests the Alarm Panel itself and does not involve the connected trans-

ceiver unit. For description of system test procedures, please refer to the User’s Manual of

each of the system.

Mute the alarm sound

If the buzzer is on, pressing the Mute button will mute the buzzer until reactivated by a new

event.

Adjust the light intensity

Pressing and holding the Dimmer button will increase or decrease the light intensity in the

display. To change between increasing and decreasing, release the button and press it

again. The light can be decreased to distinction, but it will always turn to full intensity if any

distress indicators turn on, or if the Test button is pressed.

The Alarm Panel will connect to 5 transceiver units (2 × VHF, 2 × Inmarsat-C, and 1 × MF/

HF) each of which is provided a dedicated connector on the rear side of the Alarm Panel.

Auxiliary interfaces

The AP5065 Alarm Panel provides, through the option connector an auxiliary RS-422 line

with a separate Rx and Tx pair, that can be connected to external equipment for monitoring

of the Alarm Panel state. Unless specific installation instructions describes otherwise, this

interface should not be connected.

For further information please refer to Appendix A on page 16.

The power connector also provides a Service interface connection that may be used for

future maintenance of the Alarm Panel. Leave this disconnected for normal use.

Up to 3 Alarm Panels can be interconnected and placed in different locations on the vessel.

Interconnected Alarm Panels maintain identical light and sound indications, so any operation

and behaviour on either Alarm Panel will be reflected on the others (except using the

Dimming button and the Test button – which only affects the single Alarm Panel being

dimmed or tested).

If interconnection is used, the combined set of Alarm Panels still only accepts the same 5

transceiver units, but each transceiver may be connected to either of the interconnected

Alarm Panels (e.g., the secondary VHF transceiver can be connected to the VHF 2 connec-

tor of any of the Alarm Panel).

The interconnection is physically established using a twisted pair cable. The interface is

electrically isolated and it must be supplied with 15V power to one of the Alarm Panels. The

15V interface power is taken from a dedicated supply available in the 9-pin power connector.

Note that only one of the interconnected Alarm Panels must supply the interface with power

in order to maintain the electrical isolation in the installation.

Appendix A - The AUX interface

The AP5065 Alarm Panel is equipped with an auxiliary RS-422 line with a separate Rx and

Tx port, that can be connected to external equipment for monitoring of the Alarm Panel state.

The two ports are called the AUX-LISTENER (Rx) and the AUX-TALKER (Tx), and each has

an A and a B signal according to the RS-422 standard. There is also a “common ground”

connection denoted C.

4.8.9 and 17 NC

Note: The denotion ”1 and 14”, “2 and 15” etc. used in the table indicates, that the two pins

are internally connected. This will ease cabling when the unit is not an endpoint.

The communication on the AUX interface is compatible with parts of ISO/IEC 61162-1 (which

in turn is similar to NMEA 0183) although it should be noted that it is neither intended nor

approved as a full 61162-1 interface. It should be connected only to equipment ports that are

specifically dedicated to communicating with the alarm panel.

The configuration of the serial link and the basic data format is as stated in ISO/IEC 61162-1:

• The link uses serial asynchronous communication with the bit rate 4800 bit/s, 8 data bits,

1 stop bit and no parity.

• The data are sent as lines of ASCII characters with a checksum and terminated with a

Carriage Return and a Line Feed.

• Each line form a “sentence” with the format $aaccc,…,*hh, where <aaccc> is an

address field combined from a talker ID and a sentence code, and <hh> is a checksum

in hexadecimal notation.

• The checksum is calculated as a binary ‘exclusive OR’ of all the ASCII values of the

characters in the sentence. The opening dollar sign ‘$’ and the trailing asterisk ‘*’ are not

included in the calculation.

• The Alarm Panel sends out ALR sentences on the TALKER port and accepts ACK

sentences on the LISTENER port.

0824

The ALR sentence used in AP5065

The TALKER port sends out an ALR sentence every 5 seconds for each for the connected

and active systems (i.e., systems that show up on the front display of the Alarm Panel). If all

five systems are active, this gives a combined rate of one sentence every second; if no

systems are active, the port does not send anything.

The ALR sentence sent by the AP5065 has the following format:

$aaALR,,n,a1,a2,desc*hh

• <aa> is the talker ID (CS or CD):

- CS for the Inmarsat-C systems.

- CD for the radio systems.

• <n> is the system number (1..5):

- 1: Inm-C 1

- 2: Inm-C 2

- 3: VHF 1

- 4: VHF 2

- 5: MF/HF

• <a1> is the alarm condition (A or V):

- A: DISTRESS or FAULT light active for the system in question.

- V: DISTRESS and FAULT inactive.

• <a2> is the alarm sound’s acknowledge state (A or V):

- A: The alarm sound has been muted (or is inactive).

- V: The alarm sound is active.

• <desc> is the alarm’s description text. It is combined from the following elements:

- The system name (INMC1, INMC2, VHF1, VHF2, MFHF)

- The text “-Fault” is appended if the corresponding FAULT light is on.

- The text “-Distress” is appended if the corresponding DISTRESS light is on.

• <hh> is the checksum as previously described.

This is largely compliant with the ISO/IEC 61162-1 standard where alarm acknowledgement

is interpreted as muting the sound signal.

The example below shows a sequence of sentences from the AP5065. The INMC-2 system

has the DISTRESS light turned on and the alarm sound is on:

$CSALR,,1,V,A,INMC1*7D

$CSALR,,2,A,V,INMC2-Distress*6D

$CDALR,,3,V,A,VHF1*39

$CDALR,,4,V,A,VHF2*3D

$CDALR,,5,V,A,MFHF*53

$CSALR,,1,V,A,INMC1*7D

$CSALR,,2,A,V,INMC2-Distress*6D

$CDALR,,3,V,A,VHF1*39

$CDALR,,4,V,A,VHF2*3D

$CDALR,,5,V,A,MFHF*53

0824

The ACK sentence used in AP5065

The Alarm Panel accepts the following sentence on the LISTENER port:

$aaACK,id*hh

• <aa> is the talker ID. This is disregarded by the Alarm Panel and may be set to any two-

letter combination.

• <id> is the alarm number ID. This is also disregarded by the Alarm Panel and may be

omitted (along with the preceding comma).

• <hh> is the checksum as previously described.

When the Alarm Panel receives such a sentence, it will forward mute requests to all the

connected systems. It is equivalent to pressing the MUTE button on the front panel.
