1.1 Introduction
With the System 6000 GMDSS console, all the communication equipment of the ship can be combined in one small,
compact console.
One of the main purposes of the console is to make the best possible use of the limited space on board a ship. Further-
more, the fact that all the equipment is kept in the same place makes installation easy and fast. Finally, the modular
structure of the system means that it can easily be altered if for example a need to have it extended should arise.
The standard console includes the following: Dimable light and connection board. Furthermore, the console is
designed with removable front plates for easy service and maintenance.
The console can be configured to match any maritime communication need. On the following pages, some typical
configurations are shown.
