to comply with these requirements.

Ground the equipment

To minimise shock hazard, the SAILOR 6248 VHF unit must be connected to
an electrical ground and the cable instructions must be followed.

RF exposure hazards and instructions

Your Thrane & Thrane radio set generates electromagnetic RF (radio
frequency) energy when transmitting. To ensure that you and those around
you are not exposed to excessive amounts of energy and thus to avoid health
hazards from excessive exposure to RF energy, all persons must be at least
3ft (0.9 m) away from the antenna when the radio is transmitting.

Warranty limitation
IMPORTANT - The radio is a sealed waterproof unit (classified IPX8). To
create and maintain its waterproof integrity it was assembled in a controlled
environment using special equipment. The radio is not a user maintainable
unit, and under no circumstances should the unit be opened except by
authorized personnel. Unauthorized opening of the unit will invalidate the
warranty.

Installation and service

Installation and general service must be done by skilled service personnel.

Radio for occupational use

The SAILOR 6248 VHF fulfils the requirements of the EC directive
1999/5/EC, Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment
and is intended for use in maritime environment.
SAILOR 6248 VHF is designed for occupational use only and must
be operated by licensed personnel only.
SAILOR 6248 VHF is not intended for use in an uncontrolled
environment by general public.
SAILOR 6248 VHF is designed for installation by a skilled service
person.

 Training information 3

The SAILOR 6248 VHF 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 6248 VHF 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 ft. (0.9m) for the maximum power of
your radio (25W selected) with an half wave omni-directional

vii
www.busse-yachtshop.de | [email protected]
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
 antenna having a maximum gain of 3 dB (5.2dBi). This means all
persons must be at least 3 ft. (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 ft. (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 ft. (0,9m)
plus the 6.6 ft. (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 ft. (0.9m)
vertically above the heads of people on deck and all persons
must be outside the 3 ft. (0.9m) MPE radius during radio
transmission.
• Always mount the antenna at least 3ft (0.9m) 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 6 ft. (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.

Introduction 1

Introduction
VHF radio
SAILOR 6248 VHF is approved
to R&TTE, FCC and Industry
Canada and is waterproof to
the IPx8 and IPx6 standard. As
part of the required safety
equipment, use the SAILOR
6248 VHF in an emergency
situation. However the best
way to guarantee functionality
in an emergency situation, is
to use the radio in daily
communication on board.
The VHF radio is a simplex/semi duplex VHF radio. It is designed with an easy-
to-use menu-driven setup. You use the soft-keys and the keypad to enter the
desired functions, you browse and select a setting using the right selection
knob. The large display can be customized for optimum readability and
visibility both day and night with several color themes.
The VHF radio can replay the last 240 s of received voice messages. This is a
useful feature to minimize misunderstandings and to record messages when
the radio is unattended.
With SAILOR connection boxes the VHF radio connects easily to external
equipment like additional handsets, water proof hand microphones, control
speaker microphone or external speaker. The Ethernet interface enables the
VHF radio to be connected to ThraneLINK for remote control and service
updates.
For a list of accessories available for the VHF radio see Accessories available
on page 4 and check with your nearest distributor.

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.
a. The Committee Rainwat in its 12.Meeting (October 2008) decided to change
the building rules of the ATIS code for vessels coming from a country outside
the RAINWAT arrangement.

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

Service & maintenance

problems.

Maintenance

Preventive maintenance
Maintenance of the SAILOR 6248 VHF 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.

failure 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 &

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
