1.10 Power Supply Unit (option)

The control unit works directly on 24 VDC or through a Power Supply Unit on AC mains supply (115 or 230 VAC). The power supply unit is type PR-300, supplying 24 VDC power (20 A) to the FS-1570 or type PR-850A, supplying 24 VDC (40 A) to the FS-2570. Both 115/230 VAC and 24 VDC power can be connected simultaneously. In this case, the system normally operates on the AC mains supply and when AC power is lost, the PSU automatically switches to the DC power source.
This power supply arrangement satisfies the GMDSS requirements. The FS-1570/FS-2570 can be operated directly from 24 VDC without a power supply.
OVEN power supply: The crystal oven is always powered even when the Power Switch is OFF, provided the mains switchboard is turned on.
AC and DC power switches
Both AC and DC power switches on the PSU can be always kept on. (These switches are provided to turn off the power supply for maintenance.) The control unit may be turned on or off with the PSU kept on.

Note: To enter same frequency for both TX and RX, enter the TX frequency first.

2.1.3 Tuning

Maximum transmission power is achieved only when the antenna impedance and transmitter impedance match each other. Because the antenna impedance changes with frequency, a means must be provided to match (tune) the antenna impedance with the transmitter impedance. This is done with the antenna coupler. The antenna coupler automatically tunes the transmitter to a wide range of different antenna lengths, from 7 to 30 m.
To initiate the automatic tuning, do the following:
1. Press the PTT switch on the handset or the [LOG/TUNE] key on the control unit.
“TUNING” appears when the [LOG/TUNE] key is pressed; “TX” pops out when the PTT switch is pressed.
Tuning will be completed within 2 to 5 s for a newly selected frequency, or less than 0.5 s for a once-tuned frequency. (A memory saves coil and capacitor settings.) When the tuning process is successfully completed, TUNE: OK appears. If tuning fails, TUNE: NG appears.

Note: When tuning is initiated in the two-control unit system, the display of the idle control
unit shows “OCCUPIED(ANOTHER CONTROLLER).” In this case, only the DISTRESS button is operative on the idle control unit. Further, if a control unit is in use when tuning is attempted at the other control unit, the display of the control unit which attempted to tune shows “OCCUPIED” plus the name of the equipment in use: ANOTHER CONTROLLER, NBDP, or DMC.

2.1.4 Using the handset

Hold the handset close to your mouth, press the PTT switch and speak clearly.

2.1.5 Monitoring transceiver output power

During transmission, the IA bar deflects according to the current being fed to the antenna feeder from the antenna coupler. The unit of readout is amperes. The antenna current varies with the effective antenna impedance. The swing differs by the frequency and antenna length. The output power is proportional to the square of an antenna current.
Note: If IA is not shown, follow the procedure in paragraph 2.1.7 to show it.
