Chapter 1: Installation TT-6007A 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.
Chapter 1: Installation Initial inspection Warning! To avoid electrical shock, do not apply power to the Message Terminal if there is any sign of shipping damage to any part of the front or rear panel or the outer cover. Read the safety summary at the front of this manual before installing or operating the Message Terminal.
Chapter 1: Installation 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.

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.
Chapter 1: Installation Storage 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.
