 Safety warning 1

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all

phases of operation, service and repair of this equipment. Failure to comply
with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual
violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the
equipment. Thrane & Thrane assumes no liability for the customer's failure
to comply with these requirements.

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

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.

Introduction 1

Introduction
VHF radio
SAILOR 6210 VHF is approved
toR&TTE and is waterproof to
the IPx8 and IPx6 standard.
As part of the safety
equipment, use the SAILOR
6210 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 to enter the desired
functions, you browse and select a setting using the right selection wheel
knob. The large display has red adjustable backlight which provides a good
visibility even at night and protects your night vision.
The VHF radio can replay the last 90 s of received voice. This is a useful
feature to minimize misunderstandings and to record messages when the
radio is unattended.
The VHF radio connects easily to external equipment like a 2-way loudhailer
and an external speaker. You can use the loudhailer as a 2-way on-board
communicator. The loudhailer also functions as a fog horn. You can select
from several programmed fog-horn patterns.
For a list of other accessories available for the SAILOR 6210 VHF check with
your nearest distributor.

Loudhailer with talk-back

The SAILOR 6210 VHF supports a loudhailer with a talk-back function.

Important When the hailer is in talk-back mode and a radio signal is

received, the radio signal has a higher priority and is heard in
the loudspeaker.
To activate the loudhailer do as follows:

1. Press the soft key HAIL. If it is not in the display, press the
soft key MORE until HAIL appears.
2. Press PTT on the speaking device to activate the HAILER.
3. To change the receiving radio channel, turn the selector
wheel knob. 62
4. To adjust the HAIL volume press the PTT button and turn the volume knob.
5. Press the soft key EXIT to leave the hailer function.

Using the hailer with talk-back

While in hailer mode the hailer can also be used as a
microphone. For details how to set the talk-back mode see
Hailer and Fog horn setup on page 25. Once set up talk-back is
activated when you are in hailer mode and the PTT button is released.
When talk-back is active your crew can talk to you via the loudhailer horn unit
into the loudspeakers. The talk-back volume can be independently adjusted
on the volume knob while talk-back is active (TB Volume). If a signal is
received on the radio while in talk-back mode, the received radio signal will
be heard in the speakers. The received radio signal will be reproduced with
the normal volume level.

Automatic foghorn
The SAILOR 6210 VHF has an automatic fog horn application with several
foghorn patterns. Once started, it runs in the background while running any
other application. The fog horn may be combined with the loudhailer talk-
back mode. When the fog horn is activated, the text FOG is shown in the top
right corner of the display.

Operation
Important Loudhailer talk-back may be active between foghorn
emissions. See Hailer and Fog horn setup on page 25.

The "TB" symbol is shown in the display if Foghorn talk-back is selected and
the automatic foghorn is activated.
The foghorn patterns are fixed and sent out as whistle blasts or as a bell
pattern. The tone frequency can be set in the foghorn setup menu.
To activate the foghorn do as follows: FOG

Installing the VHF radio

You can mount the VHF radio as a desktop, overhead or flush-mounted unit
integrated in the instrument panel.
Provide space enough to access the front panel connectors and for installing a
cradle for the speaking device.
Provide at least 120 mm space at the back of the SAILOR 6210 VHF radio to
allow free air circulation.

Compass safe distance

Make sure that the VHF radio is far enough from any magnetic compass to
avoid influence of the loudspeaker magnet on the compass reading. See the
following table for the safe distance after magnetization between the nearest
point of the device and the centre of the compass at which it will produce a
deviation of 0.3°.

1. Find a suitable location for the VHF radio. Check that the space is deep
enough to accommodate the VHF radio and an additional min. 120 mm
space for cable entry.
2. Keep free distance to allow free air circulation around the VHF radio and to
allow sufficient space for access to cables, see the drawing on this page.
3. Cut out the hole for the VHF radio where you want to mount it. Use the
cutting template in the installation guide.
4. Mount the 4 square nuts M4 in the cabinet, ensure that they are placed
correct so it's possible to screw in the M4x45 screws.
5. Ensure that the flush mount gasket is placed correct on the VHF radio.

Installation
6. Before mounting the VHF radio be aware that the surface is plane and
rigid. If the surface is not plane and/or rigid (stiff) remove the gasket and
seal with silicone sealant between the VHF radio and the surface.
7. Slide the VHF radio in the cut-out. Place the flush mount bracket and fasten
it with the 4 screws M4x45. Make sure the torque does not exceed 1Nm
when fastening the screws.
Note Only use screws supplied with the kit for flush mounting.

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
problems.

Maintenance

Service & maintenance

Preventive maintenance
Maintenance of the SAILOR 6210 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 wheel 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.

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 &
Thrane representative be sure to provide as
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
