GENERAL DESCRIPTION INTRODUCTION GENERAL DESCRIPTION The DSC 3000 is a VHF DSC Controller - Receiver which complies with the GMDSS requirements specified in SOLAS 88, chapter IV, when it is connected to a SKANTI VHF 3000 or another suitable VHF transceiver. It is designed in accordance with the recommendations and specifications of the IMO, CCIR and CEPT for Class-A DSC equipment in the maritime mobile VHF service. The Digital Selective Calling (DSC) system is a world-wide system for ship-to-shore, shore-to-ship, and ship-to-ship calling. It is an essential element in the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) but is also used for public correspondence with land networks through coast stations providing this service. Calls may be directed to single stations, to groups of stations or to all ships, and contain information about the category of the call (distress, urgency, safety, ship s business or routine), proposed channel no. for subsequent communication, etc. In distress calls the distress position, nature of distress, etc. may be included. Visual and audible signals advise the receiving party when calls are received. The VHF transceiver is automatically set up to the working channel indicated in the call and the communication is carried out as usual. DSC 3000 VHF Controller-Receiver is a compact equipment in modular design featuring the latest SMD technology. It consists of: DCU 3000, DSC Control Unit, compact and easy to use, with large 160-character backlit LCD display with 4 lines. Splash-proof, backlit keyboard with tactile and audible feed-back. Up to 5 DCU 3000 sets may be connected to the DU 3000. The units are chain connected with a single cable. The loudspeaker may be used instead of, or in addition to the loudspeaker supplied with the VHF 3000. DU 3000 DSC Unit, containing channel 70 receiver, power supply module, and the PCP module (Programmable Communication Processor) with DSC modulator, DSC demodulator, and processor for control of the DSC unit and the communication with the DCU 3000, the VHF transceiver and other connected equipment. The unit is fully remote controlled from the DCU 3000 and may be installed in any convenient, suitable place. The DSC 3000 VHF Controller-Receiver has complete control of the SKANTI VHF 3000 transceiver. This feature gives automatic transfer of channel information from the DSC 3000 to the VHF transceiver. Interface (NMEA) to navigational equipment is included for automatic position updating. An external distress button may be connected for remote activation of distress calls, and external alarms may be connected for remote indication of received calls. A serial interface for connection of a printer is included for selectable print-out of all calls, distress and safety calls only, transmitted and received calls, or received calls only as well as the possibility of printing out Short-dial list, MMSI list, Telephone list and configuration settings. All calls are stored when received. Up to 20 different distress calls and 20 other calls can be contained in the store. The DSC 3000 remembers the last transmitted call in each format and category for easy repetition. Furthermore a short-dial register is included which may contain 10 user pre-programmed calls for easy recall. When sending acknowledgements or calls in response to a received call, relevant information is automatically transferred from the received call for fast and easy response. The DSC 3000 has direct-dial facilities in accordance with the operational procedures specified for ship stations in the CCIR Recommendation 689. The DSC 3000 has built-in test facilities for easy routine testing and as an aid for trouble shooting and service. DSC 3000 TECHNICAL MANUAL 1-3

OPERATION KEYS AND INDICATORS Steady green light Indicates that the supply is on. Slow flashing red light A distress call (distress format or category) has been received. The lamp remains flashing until the call has been read out. Quick flashing red light A distress alert will be transmitted if the Distress key is kept pressed for 5 seconds. Steady red light A distress alert transmission is in progress. Distress alert will be automatically retransmitted. Slow flashing yellow light A call other than distress has been received. The lamp remains flashing until the call has been read out. Steady yellow light Transmission of a call (other than distress) is in progress. 2-4 DSC 3000 TECHNICAL MANUAL

KEYS AND INDICATORS OPERATION AURAL ALARM SIGNALS Distress Alarm: Call alarm: User-programmable sound indicating that a distress or urgency call has been received. Remain activated until a key is pressed. User-programmable sound indicating that a call (other than distress or urgency) has been received. Remain activated for 1/4-4 minutes (programmable) or until a key is pressed or, for Direct-dial and Selective telephony calls, until the handset is lifted off-hook. REMOTE ALARMS External alarm devices may be connected to DSC 3000 and configurated to be active when - the aural distress alarm sounds, or - the aural call alarm sounds, or - either alarm sounds *), or - the distress lamp is illuminated and when the aural distress alarm sounds *)Different on/off patterns so it is possible to distinguish between distress alarm and call alarm. REMOTE ACTIVATION OF DISTRESS ALERT An external push button may be connected to the equipment for remote initiation of a distress alert. The external push button may be combined with a lamp configurated to follow the distress lamp. The external push button is operated in the same way as the Distress key on DCU 3000. To initiate a distress alert press the push-button for 6 sec (until the distress lamp stops quick-flashing and shows steady light). Then release. If not released within 5 s transmission does not start. DSC 3000 TECHNICAL MANUAL 2-5

OPERATION KEYS AND INDICATORS MULTIPLE CONTROL UNITS Up to 5 DCU 3000 control units may be connected simultaneously to a DU 3000. One of the control units may be given priority (by configuration). Only one control unit can be active at a time while all others are passive. When switching on, the control unit on which the SUPPLY ON/OFF button was pressed becomes active. After an interruption in external power supply all control units will be passive. If the active control unit is in the MAIN-MENU, STATUS or RX-CALL states or if all control units are passive, the display of a passive control unit shows: STAND-BY If the active control unit is in any other state the display of a passive control unit shows: BUSY >STATUS< Only a passive control unit with higher priority can interrupt the active control unit in this case. Only the keys,,, and are functioning on a passive control unit. An incoming call activates the visual and audible indicators of all control units. Light and sound levels are individually adjustable. The RX-CALL is displayed only on the active control unit. 2-6 DSC 3000 TECHNICAL MANUAL
