1. Introduction Thrane & Thrane is pleased to introduce the new SAILOR RT5022 VHF, which is designed out of respect to the strong history of developing SAILOR VHFs, and to the state-of-the-art technology and innovation of Thrane & Thrane. The RT5022 is a VHF DSC Class A that meets the requirements of today’s seamen and brings strong new exiting features to the market! The SAILOR RT5022 replaces the SAILOR RT4822/SKANTI VHF 1000 DSC, which will be phased out during 2005.
- Reliability Strong performance Good vision/Easy to read of primary VHF settings in the display Strong durability And many more details. Basically the users simply want an easy-to-use VHF with strong performance on the primary VHF features. The more advanced features/settings shall be separated from the VHF features. At the same time, undiscovered needs were revealed. This resulted in new revolutionary features! The feedback from the final testing was clear.
Only part of these vessels is requested to fit a VHF DSC Class A. Most of the large fishing vessels have already been fitted. In some regions the small vessels are now requested to fit GMDSS, and more regions are expected to implement GMDSS into the entire fleet. For quite some time it has been seen that some fishing vessels fit a SAILOR VHF DSC Class A, even though they may need to fit only a Class D. When asked why they explain that they want to fit a top-of-line VHF and they prefer the SAILOR VHFs.
3.1 Unique features: The SAILOR RT5022 offers many unique features, and some of these have never been seen in the market before. 3.1.1 Unique features for the user: • Replay: o Easy replay of incoming communication • Separate displays for standard VHF functions and other settings, e.g.
The CU5000 is also offering unique design and features: • Replay • Almost identical 7 segment display as RT5022 for easy identification o Almost same display functions in CU5000 as in RT5022 o Dimming • Water resistant according to IP66 (see explanation later on) • Ergonomic and heavy duty designed handset (same as HS5001) • Volume control • Channel selection • Squelch control • Mute alert o Mute alert.
3.2 Man Machine Interface (MMI) As mentioned previously, serious efforts have been put into developing the “best in class” MMI. The SAILOR RT5022 is a work tool, and it is important that the users find it easy to use - also in critical or hasty situations. The SAILOR RT5022 has two displays separating the main standard VHF functions from the DSC and setting functions. This simplifies the usage, and the important information as e.g.
The 7-segment display shows following information: • • • • • • • • • Channel 1/25 watt output power indicator Channel table selection (Int, US or BI) Volume level (6 bars, but 12 levels) Squelch level (6 bars, but 12 levels) Dual Watch Tx indicator Call indicator DSC Alarm indicator The graphic display is used for all settings and the DSC menu. The menus can be operated by using the UP, DOWN, MENU BACK and OK key. The menus are activated by pressing the Menu buttons.
This revolutionary new function is a result of the information collected from seamen, who informed us that in some critical situations they had had problems hearing what the other party was saying. By the Replay function the user can press the button and the communication is repeated. During our tests some captains have found new ways of using this function. From time to time, the operator may have to leave the bridge in the harbour, and by that they may miss calls.
3.6 Only one model: Channels tables Int, US, BI and ATIS in the same unit To a great extent the distribution channel logistics have simplified, as the SAILOR RT5022 is available only in one version. Upon the installation of the VHF the installer chooses the channel table and type. By this, the distribution channels need only to carry one version in stock even though the need for a VHF DSC Class A differs between units with International channel settings, US channel settings, or BI settings.
The following functions are available in the CU5000: - Volume control (including external loudspeaker) - Squelsh control - Dimming - Channel selection (scroll up and down, with auto stop on Channel 16) - 25W to 1W switch button - Replay - Mute alerts Only relevant features are available, thus making the operation of the CU5000 very easy. The CU5000 is designed for and tested as “exposed equipment”, including water resistance according to IP66, as mentioned in the paragraph about the HS5001.
3.13 LAN box LB5007 In a few countries it may be to connect the VHF to a printer. In such installations the LAN box LB5007 has to be used. The LB5007 has to be connected to a LAN to Parallel switch box, which can be bought locally in most PC shops. 3.14 Other peripheral equipment The RT5022 is designed for integration into the alarm panel AP4365 for installations where this is required. 3.14.1 GPS input The RT5022 can be connected to the vessel’s GPS through the Connection port.
4.1 Typical installations As seen above the SAILOR RT5022 is very flexible to install and many combinations are available to fit the unit in order to fulfil the individual vessel’s requirement. Below you see some - but not all - of the possible combinations: 4.1.1 Full installation including a printer 4.1.2 Typical SOLAS installation This installation will probably be the standard installation on SOLAS vessels with two control units for the bridge wings.

4.2 Programming The programming of the RT5022 is designed to simplify the process for the installer. The MMSI number and the version type (International/US/BI/ATIS) can be programmed from the front panel. The service software uses standard web browsing technologies and is very easy to use. The Service Box SB5006 is connected to the RT5022 and can be used for uploading total programming files, making it easier to load all relevant settings. 4.2.
The following approvals have either been applied for or will be applied for within the near future: - US Coast Guard Russian Maritime Register (RMR) Morzviasputnik CCS Canadian Maritime approval (CMA) AMSA (Australia) Certificates will be available on the extranet as soon as they are received. 8. Future development We are sure that the new SAILOR RT5022 will improve our mutual competitiveness in the market.
