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.

For over 50 years 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 10.4-inch NavNet series display unit 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.)

offered by Busse-Yachtshop.com

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 the NavNet display or the PC. (For 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: Ver. 11, Boot Ver. 2 (1950006002)

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.

•

PC requirements: OS: Windows 98, 2000, XP Memory: Min.128 MB CPU: Min. 600 MHz Resolution: 1024x768 pixels

OS and browser compatibility

Internet Explorer Netscape Navigator

Ver. 5.01 Ver. 5.5 Ver 6.0 Ver. 4.78 Ver. 6.2 Ver. 7.0 Windows 98 OK OK # *1, *2 *2 NO, *3 Windows 2000 OK OK OK *1 # OK Windows XP # # OK # # OK

*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 which 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.

Then, the FAX-30 will receive the next scheduled broadcast from the station selected. When the FAX-30 receives the start signal from the facsimile station it automatically adjusts itself to match speed, IOC (Index of Cooperation) and phase of the station’s transmitter. Facsimile images are received line by line, taking 30-40 minutes to receive depending on the size of the image and rotation speed of the drum at the facsimile transmitter. After a facsimile image is received it is compressed and stored in image memory and then posted on the “Thumbnails of received images” screen (see paragraph 2.4). This process takes from three to five minutes. You can see the image being received by pressing the WX FAX soft key on the fax standby display and then hitting the RCV WX FAX soft key.

2.2 Manually Starting, Stopping Receiving

2.2.1 Manually starting receiving

This section shows you to manually receive a facsimile broadcast. For example, you may want to receive a facsimile broadcast already in progress or receive from a facsimile station that does not use start and stop signals. Further, you may wish to stop reception to receive an image from a different station.

To manually receive a facsimile, you will first need to set a channel, referring to paragraph 2.1. Then, do the following:

1. At the standby display, press the WX FAX soft key.

2. Press the RCV WX FAX soft key.

3. Press the START RX soft key.

The options shown are IOC (Index of Cooperation)/speed.

4. Rotate the [ENTER] knob to choose the correct combination of IOC and

speed of the facsimile transmitting station. IOC is the line density standard assigned by WMO: IOC 576, high density, IOC 288, low density. Speed is the rotation speed of the drum (on which the original image is fitted) at the facsimile transmitter: 60, 90 ,120, 180 or 240 rpm.

5. Press the ENTER soft key.

6. Press the RETURN soft key.

Then, the FAX-30 will receive the current broadcast from the station selected. Facsimile images are received line by line, taking 30-40 minutes to receive depending on the size of the image and drum rotation speed at the facsimile station. After a facsimile image is received it is compressed and stored in the image memory and then posted on the “Thumbnails of received images” screen (see paragraph 2.4). This process takes 3-5 minutes. You can see the image being received by pressing the WX FAX soft key on the fax standby display and then hitting the RCV WX FAX soft key.

2.3 Timer Receiving

Most facsimile stations transmit facsimiles in accordance with a schedule issued by relative meteorological observatory. (You can find facsimile schedules in the publication “Meteorological Facsimile Broadcasts,” available through meteorological observatory bodies.) If you wish to receive a certain facsimile broadcast on a daily basis, therefore, the timer receiving mode will virtually allow you “hands-off” automatic operation. 30 timer programs may be set.

2.3.1 Setting timer receiving schedule

Note that the data sentence ZDA must be output through the network for the timer to function.

1. At the standby display, press the WX FAX soft key.

2. Press the RCV WX FAX soft key.
