SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Do not open the cover unless totally familiar with electrical circuits.

Hazardous voltage which will cause death or serious injury exists inside the equipment.

Turn off the power at the mains switchboard before beginning the installation. Post a warning sign near the switchboard to indicate that power should not be applied while the equipment is being installed.

Electrical shock, serious injury or fire can result if the power is not turned off or is applied while the equipment is being installed.

CAUTION

Ground the equipment to prevent electrical shock and mutual interference.

Confirm that the power supply voltage is compatible with the voltage rating of the equipment.

Connection to the wrong power supply can cause fire or equipment damage. The voltage rating appears on the label at the rear of the display unit.

Observe the compass safe disatnce to prevent deviation of a magnetic compass.

Transceiver Unit

3. Mounting

General mounting considerations

Determine the mounting location for the transceiver unit considering operator convenience, proximity to the power source and the ground location. Keep these and the following points in mind when selecting a mounting location.

• Locate the unit in a place free of water spray and water splash.

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

• Leave a little slack in cables to allow a service technician to move the radio from its usual location with the cables connected. This lets him make tuning and other adjustments on a “live” set.

• Do not install the unit where flammable gases are stored.

• Select a well ventilated area.

• Ensure the mounting location is strong enough to support the weight of the unit (6 kg) under the condition of continued vibration normally encountered aboard the vessel. If necessary, reinforce the mounting area with a doubling plate or lining block.

• Leave sufficient space at the sides and rear of the unit for maintenance and service purposes and to provide for circulation of cooling air. The minimum service clearance appears in Figure 2.

• For flush mounting, select a location where the LCD can be eas- ily viewed.

Note:

Take great care not to press the DISTRESS switch during the installation. If you accidentally press the switch, immediately turn off the equipment and contact appropriate authority by telephone.

Mounting procedure for tabletop, overhead and bulkhead mounting

1. Using the hanger as a template, mark fixing holes in the mount-

ing location.

2. Fix the hanger to the mounting location with 4 sets of tapping

screw, washer, space and two kinds of bushing.

3. Screw the knob bolts with washers into the transceiver unit.

4. Set the transceiver unit to the hanger and tighten knob bolts.

• For added support, fasten hanger with nuts, bolts and washers (local supply) instead of wood screws.

• Leave sufficient space at the sides and rear of the unit to provide easy access for maintenance and service. The minimum service clearance is shown in the figure.

General mounting consideration

• Locate the unit in a place free of water spray and water splash.

• Keep the unit out of direct sunlight because of heat that can build

up inside the unit.

• Do not install the unit where flammable gases are stored.

• Select a well ventilated area.

• Ensure the mounting location is strong enough support the weight

of the unit (2.7 kg) under the condition of continued vibration normally encountered aboard the vesssel. If necessay, reinforce the mounting area with a doubling plate or lining block.

• Leave sufficient space at the sides and rear of the unit for maintenance and service purposes and to provide for circulation of cooling air.

VHF Antenna

The antenna requirements

Any good quality antenna meeting the requirements shown below may be used. A high-gain antenna is preferable.

• Frequency range: 155 to 164 MHz

• Impedance: 50 ohms

• Polarization: Vertical

• Handling power: 30 W/ min

• Quality: Able to withstand marine environment

Mounting considerations

• The antenna should be well separated from nearby antennas, masts, and other interfering objects.

• The higher the antenna is mounted above the horizon, the further the communications range.

Mounting procedure

CH70 Rx Antenna

Handset Hanger

The basic mounting procedure for antennas supplied by FURUNO is as follows, however consult appropriate outline drawing for details.

1. Fasten the antenna bracket to the stanchion.

2. Set the antenna to the antenna bracket and tighten bolts.

3. Screw the coaxial cable plug into the antenna.

The antenna should be well separated from nearby antennas, masts, and other interfering objects.

The mounting procedure is the same as that for the VHF antenna, however consult appropriate outline drawing for details.

The handset hanger can be mounted at the front or rear of the transceiver unit. To mount the hanger at the rear of the unit, a connector and connector assembly are required (option). The mounting location should provide easy access to front panel controls while operating the handset. Also, the length of the standard handset cable is 50 cm, so locate the handset hanger within 50 cm of the unit. (Longer cables are available optionally.)

Page 12

Power Supply (option)

For Convention vessels, both AC and DC power must be fed to the FM-8700, via an AC/DC power supply. When AC input fails, DC power is supplied. FURUNO can supply an AC/DC power supply unit, the PR-300.

Mounting considerations

When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the following points.

• Select a location which provides adequate ventilation.

• The location must be clean and dry.

• The mounting location must be able to support the weight of the

unit (14.5 kg) under the continued conditions of vibration normally encountered aboard the vessel. If necessary, reinforce the mounting location.

Mounting

Refer to outline drawing.

Printer Interface (option)

Printer Interface IF-8700 is connected between the printer PP-510 and the transceiver unit. See outline drawing on page D-11.

Printer (option)

Refer to the printer outline drawing on page D-12 for mounting dimensions.

Lay the printer on a tabletop and fix it with printer fixtures 1 and 2.

Figure 5 Interconnection

Page 15

Connection of Power Supply

Convention vessels, 100/220 VAC ship’s mains

Convention vessels must supply both AC and DC power to the FM8700, via an AC/DC power supply unit. Both AC and DC are supplied by the AC/DC power supply unit, and when AC input fails DC power is activated.

Connect the radio battery to the DC IN terminal on the PR-300. Connect the AC ship’s mains to the AC IN terminal on the PR-300.

Radio battery (24 VDC)

Attach the connector supplied to the power cable and plug it into the 24VDC connector at the rear of the transceiver unit. Connect the wire ends to the radio battery line.

Connection of VHF Antenna

The VHF antenna is connected to the duplexer unit with a 50 ohm coaxial cable, type 5D-2V. Be sure to leave some slack in the cable for future service and maintenance.

Lay the coaxial cable and attach an M-type plug to the cable (if necessary) as follows.

1. Remove the sheath by 20 mm.

2. Bare 13 mm of the center conductor. Trim braided shield by 5

mm and tin.

3. Slide coupling ring onto cable.

4. Screw the plug assembly on the cable.

5. Solder plug assembly to braided shield through solder holes. Sol-

der contact sleeve to conductor.

6. Screw coupling ring into plug assembly.

Screw the plug into the ANT connector at the buttom of the duplexer unit.

Page 16

Figure 6 How to attach the M-type plug to the coaxial cable

Connection of CH70 Rx Antenna

The CH70 Rx antenna is connected to the duplexer unit with a 50 ohm coaxial cable, type 5D-2V. Attach an M-type plug to the cable (if necessary) as shown in Figure 6. Screw the plug into the CH70 ANT connector at the buttom of the duplexer unit.

Connection of Handset

Connect the handset cable to the HANDSET port on the rear of the tranceiver unit.

Grounding the Transceiver Unit

Fasten a ground wire (local supply) between the GND terminal at the rear of the transceiver unit and ship’s hull (or ground bus).

CAUTION

Ground the equipment to prevent electrical shock and mutual interference.
