FOREWORD

A Word to the Owner of the FA-30
Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO FA-30 AIS Receiver. We are confident you will see why the FURUNO name has become synonymous with quality and reliability. For over 50 years FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for quality marine electronics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our extensive global network of agents and dealers. This equipment is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine environment. However, no machine can perform its intended function unless operated and maintained properly. Please carefully read and follow the recommended procedures for operation and maintenance. Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO equipment.

Features

The FA-30 is a compact and cost effective AIS Receiver that is designed specifically for small commercial, leisure and fishing boats. Connected to a VHF antenna it receives AIS data from AIS-equipped vessels, shore stations and navigational aids (AIS-equipped buoys, etc.). Vessel movement is plotted on a display connected to the LAN port. Data includes identity (name, call sign and MMSI), position, speed, heading, etc. of AIS-equipped vessels within VHF range.

AIS Receiver FA-30

Mounting considerations, mounting
The FA-30 can be mounted on a desktop, deck or on a bulkhead. When selecting a mounting location, keep the following points in mind: The temperature and humidity should be moderate and stable. Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes and vents. The mounting location should be well ventilated. Mount the unit where shock and vibration are minimal. Keep the unit away from electromagnetic field-generating equipment such as motors and generators. A magnetic compass will be affected if the FA-30 is placed too close to it. Observe the compass safe distances noted in the safety instructions to prevent disturbance to the magnetic compass. Fix the unit to the mounting location with 4x20 self-tapping screws (supplied).

Whip Antenna

Location
The location of the AIS VHF-antenna should be carefully considered. Digital communication is more sensitive than analog/voice communication to interference created by reflections in obstructions like masts and booms. It may be necessary to relocate the VHF radiotelephone antenna to minimize interference effects. To minimize interference effects, the following guidelines apply: The AIS VHF antenna should be placed in an elevated position that is as free as possible with a minimum of 0.5 meters in the horizontal direction from constructions made of conductive materials. The antenna should not be installed close to any large vertical obstruction. The objective for the AIS VHF antenna is to see the horizon freely through 360 degrees. There should not be more than one antenna on the same plane. The AIS VHF antenna should be mounted directly above or below the ships primary VHF radiotelephone antenna, with no horizontal separation and with a minimum of 2.8 meters vertical separation. If it is located on the same plane as other antennas, the distance apart should be at least 10 meters. Install the VHF whip antenna (option) referring to the outline drawing at the back of this manual. Separate this antenna from other VHF radiotelephone antennas as shown below to prevent interference to the FA-30.

Cabling

Use coaxial cable type 5D-2V or the equivalent. The cable should be kept as short as possible to minimize signal attenuation, and the maximum length is 50 meters. All outdoor-installed connectors on coaxial cables should be fitted with preventive isolation such as vulcanizing tape to protect against water penetration into the antenna cable. Coaxial cables should be installed in separate signal cable channels/tubes and at least 10 cm away from power supply cables. Crossing of cables should be done at right angles (90 degrees). The minimum bend radius of the coaxial cable should be 5 times the cable's outer diameter.

MAINTENANCE, TROUBLESHOOTING
Do not open the equipment unless totally familiar with electrical circuits and service manual. Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment.

NOTICE

Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant or contact spray to coating or plastic parts of the equipment. Those items contain organic solvents that can damage coating and plastic parts, especially plastic connectors.

Maintenance

Maintenance table
Item Wiring Ground VHF antenna Cabinet Check point, remedy Check that each cable and wire are securely fastened. Refasten if necessary. Check ground point for rust. Clean if necessary. Check VHF antenna and its cabling for damage. Replace if necessary. Dust and dirt should be removed from the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use chemical-based cleaners; they can remove paint and markings.
Regular maintenance helps maintain good performance. Check the items listed below at least monthly to help keep your equipment in good working order.

Replacing the Fuse

The fuse (2A) inside the FA-30 protects it from overcurrent and equipment fault. If the unit cannot be powered, that is, the PWR (power) LED is off, the fuse may have blown. If this happens, turn off the power to the FA-30, open the cover and check the fuse. If the fuse has blown, find out the reason before replacing it. If it blows again after replacement, contact a FURUNO agent or dealer for advice.
Part Fuse (2A) Type FGMB AC125V 2A PBF Code No. 000-157-479-10
Use the proper fuse. Use of a wrong fuse can result in damage to the equipment and cause fire.

What is AIS?
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) enhances safe navigation by exchanging critical navigational data with nearby AIS-enabled targets. The system utilizes VHF broadcasts to handle information about nearby vessel traffic as well as aids-to-navigation. AIS data includes vessels name, position and course/speed over ground, allowing you to predict the course changes of other vessels. And since AIS targets are constantly visible even when they are shrouded in fog, in darkness, behind capes, river bends and other obstructions, this system helps you to avoid dangerous collisions.

AIS target

AIS information
When placing a cursor onto the AIS target, an AIS data window will pop up to display the following data of the target: Ship's name, COG, SOG, CPA, TCPA, Range and Bearing.
NavNet vx2 can also be interfaced to the FA-30

Past track line

AIS target data for the selected vessel
Acquisition and tracking of traffic around your vessel is absolutely necessary for safe and efficient navigation. FURUNOs FA-30 AIS Receiver provides navigational data about other AIS-equipped vessels, increasing your situational awareness and allowing you to navigate more safely. The FA-30 incorporates real-time AIS information into your radar, chart plotter or a PC. AIS targets are displayed with SOG/COG vector, which aids you in recognizing possible collisions and grasp the navigational situation at a glance,
even in congested waterways. Closest Point of Approach (CPA) and Time to Closest Point of Approach (TCPA) can be computed and displayed on-screen. The FA-30 outputs AIS data to NavNet 3D and NavNet vx2 series as well as to PC with AIS Viewer software via an Ethernet connection. The FA-30 can also be interfaced with a FURUNO radar or chart plotter via NMEA0183 format to supplement those systems.

AIS target symbol

COG/SOG vector changes its length according to SOG. ROT mark is viewable when the target vessel sends the information. Past track dots enables you to evaluate the target's action.
