Chapter 1: Installation
TT-6006A
The TT-6006A Message Terminal is a maritime terminal for use in GMDSS
installations, providing several types of interfaces for connection to external
equipment, such as a Mini-C transceiver, MF/HF Radio Telex applications and
an Alarm panel. The Message Terminal has a touch-screen for operating the
terminal. However, in GMDSS installations a keyboard is mandatory. A
suitable keyboard is available from Thrane & Thrane.
TT-6007A
Installation
The TT-6007A Message Terminal is a general purpose maritime terminal, e.g.
for fishery e-log using third party software. It provides several types of
interfaces for connection to external equipment, such as a Mini-C transceiver
or BGAN terminal, an ethernet switch and a printer. The Message Terminal
has a touch-screen for operating the terminal. You may also connect an
external keyboard and mouse/trackball.

Installation
Cable requirements
All cables attached to the Message Terminal must be shielded. Every shield
should have a low impedance connection to an electrical ground.
For information on connectors, see Connectors on page 10.
Before using the Message Terminal for the first time, check that all cables are
correctly wired and fastened.
Mounting
Installation 5
Chapter 1: Installation
Flush mount
You can flush mount the Message Terminal in a console by using the 4 screw
holes (A) on the back of the terminal. The holes are M4 x 10 mm. For a
drawing of the Flush-mount plate with panel cut-out and mounting holes, see
Outline drawing: Flush mount plate on page 31.
1. Use the four holes in the mounting bracket to fasten the terminal to the
mounting surface. Screws are included with the mounting bracket.
2. Adjust the angle in steps of 7.5 by loosening the hand wheels slightly and
moving the Message Terminal into the wanted position. Remember to
tighten the hand wheels again.
Please refer to chapter B, Mechanical outlines, describing the detailed
mechanical outlines of the Message Terminal and mounting bracket.

Storage
Installation
The Message Terminal may be stored or shipped in temperatures between
-40 C and +80 C. Protect the Message Terminal from extreme temperature
variation which can cause condensation.
We recommend that you unpack the Message Terminal immediately on
delivery.
