Description Relase Date InitialsA Original document October 2015 CMAPrefaceRadio for occupational useThe SAILOR 6300B MF/HF DSC fulfi ls the requirements of the SOLAS directive and is intended for use in maritime environment.SAILOR 6300B MF/HF DSC is designed for occupational use only and must be operated by licensed personnel only.SAILOR 6300B MF/HF DSC is not intended for use in an uncontrolled environment by general public.Training information (for FCC approved equipment)The SAILOR 6300B MF/HF DSC is designed for occupational use only and is also classifi ed as such. It must be ope-rated 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 6300 MF/HF DSC has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for Occupational Use Only. The radio also com-plies 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 fi elds.•  American National Standards Institute (C95.1) IEEE standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fi elds, 3 kHz to 300 GHz•  American National Standards Institute (C95.3) IEEE recommended practice for the measurement of potentially hazardous electromagnetic fi elds - 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.WarningYour 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 6 ft. (1.8 m) for the maximum power of your radio (150 W selected) with a whip antenna having a maximum gain of 3.0 dBi.The safety distance from the antenna is stated to:Antenna Safety distance150W 6 ft. which are equal to 184 cm > 156 cm250W 7 ft. which are equal to 215 cm > 201 cm500W 10 ft. which are equal to 307 cm > 285 cm
98-144591-AviInstallation1.  A whip antenna with a maximum gain of 3 dBi must be mounted at least 12.6 ft. (3.9m) 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 6 ft. (1.8m) plus the 6.6 ft. (2.0 m) height of an adult.2.  On vessels that cannot fulfi l requirements in item 1, the antenna must be mounted so that its lowest point is at least 6 ft. (1.8m) vertically above the heads of people on deck and all persons must be outside the 6 ft. (1.8 m) MPE radius during radio transmission.•  Always mount the antenna at least 6 ft (1.8 m) 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 12 ft. (3.6 m) 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.Related documentsTitle and description Document numberInstallation guide SAILOR 630x MF/HF Control Unit 98-132396Installation guide SAILOR 6300B MF/HF Transceiver Unit & Antenna Tuning Unit 150 W/250 W/500 W98-144542User Manual SAILOR 6301 MF/HF Control Unit 98-131070User Manual SAILOR 6300 MF/HF Radiotelex 98-132519Installation and user manual SAILOR 6101 and 6103 Alarm Panel 98-130981Emergency call sheet 98-132369

Chapter 1: General information 1-1General information98-144591-ATechnical dataGeneral information1.1 IntroductionThe 150 W/250 W/500 W MF/HF transceiver with integrated DSC and telex (NBDP) is designed for mari-time applications in voluntary as well as compulsorily fi tted vessels. It offers simplex and semi-duplex SSB radiotelephone communication in the maritime mobile frequency bands between 1.6 and 30 MHz. The basic version of the transceiver includes voice, DSC and a dedicated 2187.5 KHz DSC watch receiver, forming an ideal system for MF GMDSS installations.The equipment consists of a compact transceiver control unit, a fully remote controlled transceiver unit and an automatic antenna tuning unit.The microprocessor controlled Antenna Tuning Unit automatically matches the impedance of antennas between 8 and 18 metres in length and requires no presetting at the installation. It is designed for outdoor installation and may be located up to 100 metres from the Transceiver Unit.The Transceiver Unit contains all receiver and transmitter circuits. The fully protected solid state 150 W/250 W /500 W power amplifi er matches a 50 ohm antenna system, but is normally used in connection with the Antenna Tuning Unit. The DSC/Telex modem contains two demodulators, one connected to the built-in watch receiver for continuous watch on the DSC distress frequencies, the other connected to the communication receiver which may be used to keep simultaneous watch on other DSC frequencies or telex communication.The transceiver can  be upgraded to scan 6 DSC channels, and Telex operation to comply with MF/HF requirements in sea area A4. Codes are purchased as accessories for the system.The Control Unit is for operation of radiotelephony as well as DSC and confi guration. Use of the equip-ment is simple, logic and straight forward. DSC operation is based on the use of soft keys. Guiding texts are provided and the large display is able to show the contents of a complete call in one screen.For telex operation the Message Terminal must be connected to the system via the CAN bus.The equipment is designed for operation from a 24 V DC supply, like e.g. a battery. With the optional AC Power Supply unit installed the equipment may be supplied from 115/230 V AC main or emergency sup-plies with automatic switch-over to 24 V DC supply in the absence of AC supply voltage. Also optionally, a battery charger for AC is available in the product line.The built-in test facilities and easy-to-replace module design of the equipment simplifi  es the service concept.1.2 Technical data1.2.1 GeneralComplies with the relevant IMO performance standards for MF, MF/HF, MSI, and NBDP GMDSS equipment, the ITU Radio Regulations, the ITU-R recommendations and the relevant performance specifi cations of ETSI, IEC and FCC, in the ITU marine bands.Operating modes:  Simplex and semi-duplex SSB telephony (J3E), DSC (J2B), AM broadcast  reception (H3E) and Telex (J2B)Frequency stability:  Better than 0.35 ppm  Warm-up time.

2-9Installation Chapter 2: Installation98-144591-AGrounding considerations2.3 Ground connections2.3.1 Grounding considerationsProper system grounding is one of the most important installation details.Two areas of grounding must be considered:  a)  The ground connection between the ATU and earth plane.  b)  The ground connection of the TU and the externally connected equipment.Each area requires separate considerations even though they are interrelated. Ideally the Control Unit, Transceiver Unit, Antenna Tuning Unit and the antenna ground-plane must have the same RF ground potential. Unfortunately this situation is seldomly achieved, but interference problems will be reduced along with how close to this “ideal” the grounding of the installation is performed.On some installations ground loops will cause problems. A ground loop is caused by more than one ground path for a given unit. This will introduce circulating RF currents which may cause malfunction of other equipment onboard the ship as well as a “hot” handset.ATUTUCU'Hot' HandsetRF current loopGround-PlaneNot OK installationZg2.3.2  RF ground loopIt is not always possible or practical to mount the ATU using a very short strap to the actual ground-plane.

First determine the antenna’s electrical ground-plane, which is where the ATU must be mounted. Where possible always take the ATU to the ground, not the ground to the ATU.In case of a fi breglass boat, the ground-plane may well be at the hull grounding terminal. Then this is where the Antenna Tuning Unit should go and this is where the antenna actually starts.ATUTUCUOK installationNot a 'Hot' HandsetGround-PlaneThe antenna starts here
2-11Installation Chapter 2: Installation98-144591-A2.3.5  Antenna Tuning UnitAs the earth connection of a transmitter is a very im-portant part of the antenna system, it is of the utmost importance to keep in mind that the earth con-nection of the Antenna Tuning Unit must have the lowest possible RF-impedance. Losses in the earth connection will result in a decrease in radiated power which means that the range of the transmitter will be reduced. In steel ships a 100 x 0.5 mm copper strap as short as possible is connected between the earth terminal at the bottom of the Antenna Tuning Unit and two or three 1/2" or M12 bolts welded to the superstructure.It is recommended to install the ATU by means of the ATU mounting bracket shown in section 2.2.4 as this stainless steel bracket can be welded into the super structure and will provide the best possible none cor-roding connection. Vessels constructed of non-conducting materials must be equipped with a copper earth plate having a minimum area of 1 square metre mounted below the water line. From a copper earth bolt hard soldered to the earth plate a 100 x 0.5 mm copper strap is run, preferably uninterrupted to the earth terminal at the bottom of the Antenna Tuning Unit.Should it be necessary to break the copper strap, for example to pass through a deck, two or three 1/2" or M12 bolts should be used for this feed through. On wooden ships having a superstructure of metal, this superstructure should also be effectively con-nected to the copper strap by using stainless steel bolts and preferably pieces of stainless steel strips between the metal parts. On fi bre glass boats, such as yachts and sailing boats, it may be diffi cult to install a suffi ciently good earth. Short copper straps are bolted to conducting parts on the engine, the keel and other conducting objects. Many copper straps can be glued to the inner surface of the hull below the water line to produce a large capacitance to the water. It is important that the total area of copper is large and that the distance between the copper surface and the water is as small as possible. The copper straps are connected directly to the ATU.On ships where the environmental conditions re-quire shielded grounding downlead in order to avoid radiation from same downlead, it is recommended to use a shielded cable with a non-stranded wire having adequate wire dimension to secure the proper grounding. Cable shielding should be connected the earth terminal at the bottom of the Antenna Tuning Unit and left open at the earth connection side.2.3.6  Transceiver Unit and Control UnitThe Transceiver Unit is preferably grounded separately to the ships metal in the shortest possible way. A 10mm² (AWG 7) to 16mm² (AWG 5) ground wire is connected to the ground terminal (cable clamp) at the bot-tom of the unit.Antennas11mmø5.4mmcrimpwireShielded ground downleadCopper strap 100 x 0.5mmDimensions are in mm.3787220508066.6R3.3Copper strap cut-out at the ATU end
2-12  Chapter 2: Installation 98-144591-AAntennas2.4 Antennas2.4.1 Transceiver AntennaThe equipment is used with separate transmitting and receiving antennas. The antennas should be erected in the open, away from conducting object such as derricks etc. which may cause reduction of the radiated power. Insulators should be of the best type having low leakage even when wet. Stays, wires, steel masts etc. should be either effectively earthed or insulated. The antenna should also be kept as far away as possible from electrical equipment in order to minimize noise. Electrical installation such as cable braiding (screens) and instruments in the vicinity of the antenna should be earthed effectively, and the instruments in question should be fi tted with noise-interference suppression devices, effective in the range 0.1 MHz to 30 MHz to avoid malfunction of these instruments. The Antenna Tuning Unit will tune on any frequency in the range 1.6 to 27 MHz to good whip and/or wire installations of 12 to 18 m total electrical length.Shorter antennas, electrical length down to 8 m can be used. Where possible long antennas should be installed to maximize the radiated power in the lower frequency bands.In general a 12 m antenna installation can be made using an 8 metres whip and 4.5 m feeder or a 10 m whip and 2.5 m feeder. In both cases the whip should be mounted on a pole allowing for the feeder to be erected at an angle of no less than 60 degrees to create a vertical antenna system. Using horizontal feeders or feeders mounted at an angle below 45 degrees usually transform the antenna radiation resistance to a lower value reducing the radiated power. Furthermore, the total antenna system should be kept well away from conductive objects such as the mast. Usually a horizontal distance of more than 4 metres will create good results.The antenna is terminated at the insulator at the top of the Antenna Tuning Unit. The insula-tor must be relieved from mechanical stress by using max. 1 meter fl exible wire between the insulator and a support. To maximize the radiated power and avoid fl ash over keep distance to metal parts as long as possible. All wire junctions in the antenna system must be made with cable lugs of correct size according to the wire gauge. This will prevent bad connections due to corrosion. For further corrosion proofi ng grease may be applied to the cable joints.>45°>1 meter
2-13Installation Chapter 2: Installation98-144591-AAntennas2.4.2  Considerations on antenna length requirementsAntenna impedanceThe length of the transmitting antenna used with MF/HF equipment in general and the MF/HF equip-ment specifi cally for purpose of this discussion is of utmost importance for the proper performance of the equipment, i.e. the ability to tune properly to the antenna and the effective transmission range. In terms of transmission range, more important than increasing the transmitter RF output power from say 150 W to 250 W is in fact the use of an adequate length antenna.Comparatively, any practical length whip antenna remains by far too short for the wavelength for which it is used, especially at the lower frequencies. For the frequency range 1.6 – 30 MHz defi ning the com-mercial MF/HF marine band, the wavelength spans the range 190 – 10 m approximately.A proper ground plane for the transmitting antenna is essential in order for this to effectively radiate power into the air. When applying RF energy to the whip antenna, the presence of the ground plane  creates capacitance between the whip antenna and the ground plane. This capacitance will vary with frequency, hence, the impedance of the whip antenna as seen from the transmitter will vary with the frequency range over which the transmitter is operated. As an illustration of the impedance variation with frequency of a transmitting antenna refer to below table listing the impedance as measured on a 6, 7 and 8 m whip antenna respectively with a 2 m feed line.Frequency(MHz)Transmitting Antenna6 mTransmitting Antenna7 mTransmitting Antenna8 m1.6 3-j1.310 3-j1.200 4-j1.0602.0 4-j1.025 4-j970 5-j8003.0 7-j970 8-j550 9-j4704.0 9-j410 10-j325 11-j2505.0 17-j260 18-j200 20-j1456.0 20-j150 25-j95 28-j387.0 35-j65 40-j10 55+j558.0 40+j30 50+j90 60+j15510.0 100+j190 130+j270 200+j40012.0 600+j450 650+j450 1000+j30016.0 1000+j200 900-j500 500-j50018.0 700-j500 400-j500 250-j45022.0 200-j400 90-j280 70-j8025.0 90-j195 75-j10 240-j20030.0 200+j150 500+j0 400-j300In the fi gures for the impedance in this table the imaginary part (jxxx) describes the value of capaci-tance part.Ground planeCapacity is created when RF energy isapplied to aerialWhip antenna
2-14  Chapter 2: Installation 98-144591-AAntennasFunction of the Antenna Tuning Unit (ATU) The MF/HF transmitter power amplifi er (PA) provides a fi xed output impedance of 50 ohms over its operating frequency range to which the load (the antenna) should be matched (i.e. load should prefer-ably be 50 ohms also) in order for the transmitter to deliver its full power output to the load. However, with the varying impedance of an antenna, as described above such a condition may only be met at one or - at best - a few specifi c frequencies. On the remaining frequencies within the transmission band the varying mismatch between the transmitter fi xed output impedance and the different impedance of the antenna at any given frequency will result in reduced RF power delivered to the antenna – in worst case hardly any power at all - if the antenna was connected directly to the transmitter.To overcome the frequency dependant mismatch between the transmitter output impedance and the antenna (load) impedance, the ATU is put into the antenna circuit to provide variable compensation counteracting the varying impedance of the antenna, the end result of which is the “transformation” of this into a “fi xed” app. 50ohms load, as “seen” by the transmitter.The compensation is achieved mainly through the introduction of an induction in series with the antenna circuit, the value of which will create a resonance circuit at the given frequency. Hence, depending on the impedance of the antenna (i.e. the transmission frequency) a suitable combination of inductors from a bank of inductors in the ATU, are selected through of a number of relays, the activation of which is controlled by the ATU processor during the tuning process.MF/HF ATUFor the impedance of e.g. an 8 metres transmitting antenna of 5-j800 ohms at 2 MHz, as stated by the manufacturer, the ATU will easily tune to the impedance of this antenna system - in fact, the array of coils in the ATU tuning circuitry allows tuning all the way down to the impedance of 4-j1060 ohms of this antenna system at 1.6 MHz. A slightly shorter antenna system might be used at the possible sacrifi ce of the ability to tune at the extreme low end of the frequency band below 2 MHz.However the impedance of the antenna system is, infl uenced by any nearby metallic objects such as the vessel's superstructure and/or nearby metal poles/masts or stays/wires. Consequently, in order not to alter the impedance of the antenna system which may eventually cause diffi culties for the ATU to match the resulting impedance, the transmitting antenna should be kept at a distance of no less than 4 m from any such objects. Similarly goes for the feed wire connecting the ATU to the antenna which should be kept at a minimum of 1 m from metallic objects.It should be noted that even though the ATU will tune to the mentioned antenna system length, the ef-fective radiated power (i.e. the effi ciency of the antenna) in the low frequency end will suffer compared to longer antenna systems of recommended electrical length 10-18 m.
2-15Installation Chapter 2: Installation98-144591-AAntenna system installation in practiceAs noted on the impedance fi gures in above table, the measurements were made with the antenna raised on a 2 m steel pipe over a fl at steel roof (ground plane) and a 2 m feed line. This implies that the measured impedance is in fact that of the actual antenna (electrical) length plus additional 2 m. The electrical length of the 8 m bracket mount (side fed) Comrod transmitter antenna is 6.8 m resulting in a total electrical length of the antenna system of 8.8 m.Electrical specifi  cations transmitting antennasThe connection to the transmitting antenna is by a single ended wire - the feed line - connecting from the ATU top connector. This feed line adds to the electrical length of the antenna (when correctly installed), thus in effect increasing the effi ciency of the antenna. The longer the feed line the better the effi ciency of the antenna system consisting of transmitting antenna and the feed line.For direct addition of feed line length to antenna electrical length the feed line should be vertically installed as an extension downwards of the transmit-ting antenna. In practice, where the ATU must be placed between the feed line and the ground plane (steel deck), the direct vertical installation of the feed wire may be diffi cult in terms of total height. This may partly be accounted for by allowing the feed wire installed at an angle of at least 45 degrees towards the horizontal plane. Installing the feed wire at lower angles will create capacitance to the ground plane decreasing the effi ciency of the antenna.2.4.3 Receiver antennaThe receiver antenna may be an active or a passive type.The antenna should be erected well in the clear and kept away as far as possible from electrical equip-ment in order to minimize noise. Electrical installation such as cable braiding and instruments in the vicinity of the antenna should be earthed effectively, and the instruments in question should be fi tted with noise-interference suppression devices, effective in the range 0.1 to 30 MHz. The antenna feed-in should be coaxial cable.In case of a passive antenna the feed-in should be as short as possible, especially in the case of short antennas. The recommended antenna length is 7-30 meters. If a long coax cable is necessary an im-pedance matching transformer should be inserted at the antenna or an active antenna should be used.DC supply voltage for an active antenna is available at the RX antenna connector after switching is on in service interface. The supply voltage is +12 V (60 mA). The RX port is short circuit protected.The receiver antenna should be mounted as far from the transmitter antenna as possible - recommended minimum 6 metres.  For active RX antennas, it is recommended to choose a physical length ≥1 meter.Antennas>45°>1 meter

The supply terminal is designed for 3 wire shielded power supply cable to meet international installation and EMC requirements.

The ATU module matches the impedance of the antenna to 50 ohm in order to gain the best possible SWR towards the TU. The TU communicates tuning process and frequency information with the ATU. The tuning network consists of capacitor bank 1, capacitor bank 2, and an inductor bank. With these banks it is possible to form either an L-network or a pi-network. The capacitor banks and inductor bank are built up by binary related capacitors and coils. The setting of capacitance and inductance is accomplished by relays. To prevent overload of the relays, current detectors are incorporated in the inductor bank and in capacitor bank 2 and information fed back to the transceiver unit to decrease the output power if maximum permissible current is exceeded. To prevent overheating a temperature sensor is incorporated which at excessive temperatures commands the transceiver to reduce the output power.In receive mode an RX-Amplifi er included in the Antenna Tuning Unit is utilized, to improve the sensitivity of the system by providing 50 ohm impedance. This is only used when connected to a 6000A MF/HF System.Block diagramTune Att.4 dBDirectionalCoupler26dBVwVrefMicro ProsessorL-bank L-bankTuning circuitRX/TX/ATU/COM24V DCRxAmpAntennaConnectorHornAntennaTemperaturesensorModem filterDemodulatorModulatorRF filter24V5Vregulatorto relaysto digitalcircuits13/24VSMPSto relays24V in Rx & Tune Tx13V in TxDC regulatorsIL detectorIcdetectorCB2control byuPrxtxcontrol byuPcurrentdetectorsRX amplifierPhase &VoltageDetectorscontrolbanksCB1controlRx/TxHigh Pass Filter40637_6300Bregulator12VTransceiver unit block diagram (150W/250W)

Chapter 3: Technical description3-6 98-144591-A3.11  Power control and protection systemThe Transceiver has an automatic power level system, which ensures that optimum power is delivered to the An-tenna. The Tune Sequence, which is automatically initiated when keying the transmitter after a frequency change, makes the Tuning Network of the Antenna Tuning Unit tune to the best obtainable SWR. This is followed by an Automatic Level Control (ALC) adjustment according to the available power supply voltage, measuring the output current of the PA Filters (FILPEAK @ 10 Vp at full output), transmitting AM carrier, and setting the overall gain by the ALC voltage. It is now possible to transmit at full output power unless protection is activated or LOW POWER is selected. The output power is continuously monitored by the TU, and is automatically adjusted during transmission to provide reliable communication.3.11.1 Power Amplifi er ProtectionThe protection of the power amplifi er consists of V+I protection, SWR protection, and thermal protection. When the output signal of the voltage detector at the output of the power amplifi er exceeds 10 V the output power is reduced to a safe level. The thermal protection consist of a temperature sensor on the power amplifi er. The available power supply voltage is measured in the DC power supply and the information is transferred to the ECM module. If the supply voltage drops the microprocessor will adjust the output power to keep distortion below the limits.3.11.2 Antenna Tuning Unit ProtectionThe ATU is protected by several detectors all monitored by the ATU's microprocessor, which calculates the SWR, temperature, maximum voltage and current. If these parameters are not below safe operating limits it requests for lower power.Transceiver unit interconnection diagram
4-1ServiceChapter 4: Service98-144591-AService4.1 Preventive maintenanceDue to the modern design of the transceiver preventive maintenance can be reduced to a minimum provided the equipment is correctly installed. To ensure maximum performance and minimum repair trouble we recommend following the below stated items for preventive maintenance:1.  The condition of the battery should be checked at frequent intervals.2.  Check the condition of antenna installation, ground connection and cables at regular intervals.  Salt deposits on insulators must be removed with water to avoid fl ash-over when transmitting.3.  Keep antenna feed-through insulators clean.4.  Ensure that no objects are obstructing the free airfl ow through the cooling channels of the Transceiver   Unit and keep the units free of dust accumulation to prevent overheating.5.  For cleaning use a damp cloth. Sticky dirt may be removed using a cloth with a weak soap solution.   Wipe off with a clean cloth.4.2 Cleaning the Air fi lter (500 W Transciver only)The transceiver unit uses 2 fans to cool all circuitry inside the unit. To keep the cooling air clean an air fi lter is placed in front of each fan. These air fi lters should be cleaned frequently, especially under dusty working conditions. A clogged air fi lter will block effi cient cooling and the transmitter output power will be reduced to avoid over-heating.Remove the air fi lter cover from the buttom of the transceiver unit by gently pushing towards right and pulling it out from the cabinet. Take out the air fi lters from the cover. Clean the air fi lters refi t and re-assemble the unit.Air filterFilter cover99-126839Chapter 4
