Chapter 2: Operation
30 Settings
Silent Mode
Use Silent Mode only if it is necessary to be invisible, e.g. in a pirate
situation in international waters.
If no functional switch is connected
1
to the SAILOR 6282 AIS Transponder
you can activate Silent Mode in a menu on the SAILOR 6004 Control Panel.
A warning appears in a popup window on the SAILOR 6004 Control Panel
and an alarm (TX disabled) is logged
2
. The popup window will be repeated
every twelfth hour as a reminder that the Silent Mode is still active. The
Silent Mode is active after power interruption until it is manually disabled.
The SAILOR 6282 AIS Transponder cannot acknowledge received
addressed messages in Silent Mode because all transmit activity is disabled
in Silent Mode. Therefore the sender will retransmit the message several
times and the SAILOR 6282 AIS Transponder will display all retransmitted
messages.
Important
Enabling Silent Mode violates the IMO regulation for GMDSS.
Using Silent Mode will make your vessel non-compliant to
the IMO carriage requirements and is only allowed under
special circumstances. This action must be recorded in the
ship’s log.
1. In the Service Interface, the IO settings for the functional switch must be
set to Not Used or Blue Sign.
2. Only with external switch for Silent Mode.
