FOREWORD

A Word to the Owner of the FAX-30

FURUNO Electric Company thanks you for purchasing the FURUNO FAX-30 Facsimile Receiver. We are confident you will discover why the FURUNO name has become synonymous with quality and reliability.

Since 1948, FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for quality and reliability throughout the world. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our extensive global network of agents and dealers.

Your equipment is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine environment. However, no machine can perform its intended function unless properly installed and maintained. Please carefully read and follow the operation, installation and maintenance procedures set forth in this manual.

We would appreciate feedback from you, the end-user, about whether we are achieving our purposes.

Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO.

Features

Connected to a NavNet series display unit (MODEL 1833C/1943C, MFDBB, MFD8/MFD12) or a PC, the FAX-30 receives facsimile images and navtex messages, transmitted from facsimile and navtex stations.

• Programmed with all existing facsimile stations and frequencies. User may program 320

channels.

• Fully automatic facsimile operation with built-in schedule timer. Storage for 30 timer

programs.

• Fully automatic selection of speed, IOC, phase alignment and frequency. Manual

selection also available.

• Connection to printer via a PC to print facsimile images and navtex messages.

• Facsimile images in monochrome, gray scale (8 tones) or color (three patterns).

• Built in navtex receiver. (The receiver does not conform to GMDSS regulations.)

vii

Page 10

Operational Characteristics

General

• The equipment receives one facsimile image or naxtex message at a time. Thus, a

navtex message cannot be received when a facsimile image is being received and vice versa, regardless of navtex message category.

• Three receiving modes are available, facsimile, navtex, and facsimile(timer) & navtex.

When using the facsimile(timer) and navtex, the order of priority is

Facsimile(timer) (highest priority) → Navtex (lowest priority)

• The FAX-30 does not have an internal clock, so time is input from a NavNet display or the

PC. (For a PC-only configuration, time data is read when the browser accesses the FAX-30. Therefore, turn on the FAX-30 before accessing it from the PC to allow for input of time data, which is necessary for facsimile timer recording.) To receive time data, do the following:

NavNet: Output the date and time data sentence ZDA through the NavNet network. PC: Set the PC’s clock to the correct time.

• If both a NavNet series unit and a PC are used, it is recommended to operate the FAX-30

from the PC because of the two different communication protocols. (Use the NavNet series unit to feed navigation data to the PC.)

• Navigation data must be fed through the network to use the automatic navtex mode.

Therefore, this mode is not available in the PC-only configuration.

NavNet

• The FAX-30 cannot be accessed from the NavNet for 15 seconds after the FAX-30 has

been turned on.

• NavNet requirements:

Navionics: Ver. 15, Boot Ver. 2 (1950006002) C-MAP by Jeppesen: Ver. 11, Boot Ver. 2 (1950006002)

NavNet 3D

The FAX-30 cannot be accessed when it is starting up, because image data is being loaded. You can access the FAX-30 when the LED flashes 0.4 seconds every 2 seconds, which starts approximately two minutes after the power is turned on.

• The FAX-30 cannot be accessed from the PC while the FAX-30 is loading data at start up.

Wait until the POWER LED flashing interval changes from 0.4 to two seconds before accessing the FAX-30.

• Most operating procedures in this manual are written for use with the Internet Explorer®.

Menu items, control button names, etc. may be different on the Netscape Navigator.

*1 A facsimile image may not be updated after it has been processed (noise limiter,

zoom, etc.). To update the image, click the right button on the mouse while holding down the [SHIFT] key and then choose Reload.

*2 Connection is occasionally interrupted. In case of 4.78 + Win 98, the message “A

network error occurred: unable to connect to server (TCP Error: Not enough memory). The server may be down or unreachable. Try connecting again later.” is displayed. To restore the connection, press [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Delete] to force quit Netscape. Then, reopen Netscape and try to connect again.

*3 Connection is frequently interrupted and cannot be restored.

# Not verified.

• Use of older OS with recent browser will result in extremely slow operation.

• If the browser goes into timeout while an image is being received, access to the FAX-30

may be interrupted. In this case, click the right button on the mouse and click Refresh.

• Most PC operations are done with the left button on the mouse. The exception is saving a

facsimile image that is done with the right button.

• The FAX-30 cannot be simultaneously accessed by multiple PCs. For this reason, be

sure to use the logout feature to logout a PC from the FAX-30 when its use is not required.

• If the FAX-30 appears to be abnormal, the browser version may not be compatible or

browser settings may be wrong. See the browser requirements on the previous page, the browser and OS compatibility table above and the browser settings in paragraph 7.5.1.

• The HTTP and HTML versions of the FAX-30 are as shown below.

2.5.1 Phase mismatch

When the FAX-30 starts receiving a broadcast already in progress, or noise prevents detection of the phasing signal, the image may be divided into two parts by a thick black (or white) stripe called a dead sector. This phenomenon is due to phase mismatching. When this occurs, correct phase mismatching, after the facsimile has been received.

4.1 About Navtex Messages

4.1.1 Message categories

Navtex stations throughout the world provide mariners with weather and navigational navtex messages. These messages carry a four character header code which identifies transmitting station, category of message, and message number, numbered from 00 to 99. Message number 00 is reserved for important emergency messages. The categories of messages available in the navtex system are as below.

A: Coastal navigational warning H: Loran message B: Meteorlogical warning I: Reserved presently not used C: Ice report J: Differential Omega message D: Search and Rescue Alert K: Other electronic navigator system message E: Meteorological forecast L: Navigational warning (additional) F: Pilot message V to Y: No category allocated G: AIS Z: QRU (no message on hand)

The user may select which message categories to receive and the stations from which to receive them.

Note: It is recommended to minimally receive categories A, B, D and L because

they are important for navigation.

4.1.2 Receiving navtex messages

To receive navtex messages, set the receive mode for “navtex only” or “fax(timer) & navtex”, referring to paragraph 1.1.3 for the procedure.

7. INSTALLATION

7.1 Facsimile Receiver

The facsimile receiver may be mounted on the deck or a bulkhead. When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:

• Locate the unit out of direct sunlight because of heat that can build up inside

the cabinet.

• Select a location where the connectors can be easily accessed.

• Leave sufficient space around the unit for servicing and maintenance. See the

outline drawing for recommended servicing space.

• For mounting on a bulkhead, be sure the mounting location is strong enough

to support the weight of the unit.

• Locate the unit away from areas subject to water splash and rain.

• A magnetic compass will be disturbed if the FAX-30 is placed too close to it.

Separate the FAX-30 from a magnetic compass by the distances below to prevent interference to a magnetic compass.

Steering compass, 0.9 m, Standard compass, 0.6 m.

• Fix the receiver to the mounting location with four 5 X 20 tapping screws

(supplied).

7. INSTALLATION

7.2 Antenna Unit

The performance of the facsimile receiver is directly related to the antenna installation. In general, the antenna should be installed as high as possible on the vessel, free from the influence of nearby antennas, rigging and masts. Be sure to locate the antenna well away from TX antennas and noise generating equipment. Pay particular attention to the antennas of MF and HF radio equipment - they can damage the facsimile receiver through induction. (For better protection against induction, use the preamp unit.)

7.2.1 General antenna connection

Connect the antenna to the facsimile receiver as shown below. If the preamp unit is installed, set jumper block J23 on the RCV Board (in the FAX-30) to the "ACTIVE" position. See paragraph 7.4.

7.2.2 Wire antenna or whip antenna

• Either a long wire or whip antenna may be used. A wire antenna should be 15

meters or longer including the vertical section. A whip antenna should be 6 meters long.

• The antenna can be shared with other receivers; use an antenna switch or

junction box.

• Connect the antenna to the facsimile receiver with a coaxial cable of which the

diameter is larger than coaxial cable type 5D-2V. (5D-2V is a JIS (Japan Industry Standard) Cable. Use equivalent cable, referring to the table in paragraph 7.3.

• If sensitivity of the wire antenna is low, use the preamp unit.

Page 91

7.2.3 Installation of preamp unit FAX-5 (option)

Small boats may not afford the space to install a long wire antenna. In this case it is recommended to install the preamp unit with 2.6 meter whip antenna. The preamp unit can be installed two ways:

• The base of the preamp unit is designed to accept a threaded extension of

one-inch diameter. The pitch of the thread should be 14 threads per inch. The mast itself should be no longer than 1.5 meters to prevent flexing in heavy winds.

• Attach the preamp unit to a post with stainless steel hose clamps (option).

1. Fix the preamp unit to the mounting location.

2. Screw the whip antenna onto the preamp unit.

3. If the mast is metallic, run a ground wire (local supply) between the mast and the ground terminal on the preamp unit.

4. Waterproof the junction and other exposed metallic parts with silicone sealant.
