1 General information
With the System 5000 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. Furthermore, 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: Emergency light, battery panel, 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.
