Introduction General Description The GMDSS Distress Alarm Panel is used for remote initiation of distress alert transmissions and visible and audible indication of incoming distress and urgency calls on VHF, MF/HF, and Inmarsat-C. Normally it is installed on the bridge at the conning position. The Alarm Panel contains three main sections, intended for connection to System 5000 VHF, System 5000 MF/HF equipment, and Inmarsat-C SES equipment.
Technical Data General Illuminated red distress button with transparent cover for each section. Indicator Alarm Panel with distress annunciator and status information for each connected unit. Audible alarm for indication of distress alert transmission in progress, or distress or urgency calls received.
Operation Distress Sending Distress Alert Open the key cover and press the ‘DISTRESS’ push button for minimum 5 seconds. The alert button and the selection annunciator for the active unit flashes, and the buzzer sounds periodically. When the distress alert transmission starts, the distress button and the selection annunciator change to a constant light.
General Test the Alarm Panel Pressing and holding the Test button will make all light indicators and alarm buttons flash. Pressing any other button while holding the Test button, will sound the buzzer enabling verification of the buttons and the audible indicator. Note that this only tests the Alarm Panel itself and does not involve the connected trans- ceiver unit.
HF) each of which is provided a dedicated connector on the rear side of the Alarm Panel. Auxiliary interfaces The AP5065 Alarm Panel provides, through the option connector an auxiliary RS-422 line with a separate Rx and Tx pair, that can be connected to external equipment for monitoring of the Alarm Panel state.

Appendix A - The AUX interface The AP5065 Alarm Panel is equipped with an auxiliary RS-422 line with a separate Rx and Tx port, that can be connected to external equipment for monitoring of the Alarm Panel state. The two ports are called the AUX-LISTENER (Rx) and the AUX-TALKER (Tx), and each has an A and a B signal according to the RS-422 standard.
This is largely compliant with the ISO/IEC 61162-1 standard where alarm acknowledgement is interpreted as muting the sound signal. The example below shows a sequence of sentences from the AP5065. The INMC-2 system has the DISTRESS light turned on and the alarm sound is on:...
The ACK sentence used in AP5065 The Alarm Panel accepts the following sentence on the LISTENER port: $aaACK,id*hh • <aa> is the talker ID. This is disregarded by the Alarm Panel and may be set to any two- letter combination.
