1-1 1. DSC SYSTEM OVERVIEW1.1 What is DSC?DSC is an acronym meaning Digital Selective Calling. It is a digital distress and general callingsystem in the MF, HF and VHF bands used by ships for transmitting distress alerts and generalcalls and by coast stations for transmitting the associated acknowledgements.For DSC distress and safety calling in the MF and HF bands the frequencies are (kHz) 2187.5,4207.5, 6312.0, 8414.5, 12577.0, and 16804.5.The DSC-60 is a combination MF/HF DSC Terminal and Watch Receiver. Connected to an SSBradiotelephone, the DSC-60 sends and receives calls via the SSB radiotelephone. The built-inremote control permits control of a FURUNO radiotelephone from the DSC-60.SSB RADIOTELEPHONEFS-1562/5000/8000DSC-60DSC message, which containscalling category, working fre-quency, etc, is sent on DSCfrequencyGeneral DSC Call Distress and Safety DSC CallsOption1.2 DSC CallDSC calls are roughly divided in two categories: distress and safety calls, and routine calls.Below are the types of DSC calls and the pages on which their descriptions and proceduresappear.• All Ships (page 4-1)• Distress (page 3-1)• Distress Relay (page 3-7 - 3-20)• Geographic Area (page 4-21)• Group (page 4-18)• Individual (page 4-4)• Medical Transport (page 4-27)• Neutral Craft (4-25)• Polling (page 4-29)• Position (page 4-34)• PSTN (page 4-40)• Test (page 8-4)

Coast station ID begins with 00; Group ID begins with 0.Priority Routine: General calling Business: For passing important alert such as navigation and weather. Safety: For reporting emergency situation on board a ship. Urgency: For reporting grave danger on board a ship.Communication type Telephone: telephone (J3E) by SSB NBDP-ARQ: Telex (J2B) mode ARQ via NBDP Terminal NBDP-FEC: Telex (J2B) mode FEC via NBDP TerminalCommunication frequency Working frequency used to call. The sending station may have the receiving station (ship or coast station) assign the frequency to use.Position Position can be automatically or manually input.DSC frequency DSC frequency to use. If the order of communications priority is SAFETY, URGENCY and DISTRESS, select a DSC distress frequency.End code The end of a DSC message is denoted by ACK RQ (Acknowledge Request), ACK BQ (Acknowledge Back) or EOS (End of Sequence).
1-31.2.1 Distress alert call and replyThis type of call is sent by own ship in the event of distress, by pressing the [DISTRESS] buttonmore than three seconds as follows:1. The LED in the button initially flashes, and lights when the button is pressed more than threeseconds. (If the button is pressed less than three seconds the distress alert is not sent. Oncethe alert is sent it cannot be cancelled.)2. The DSC-60 sets the DSC distress frequency on the SSB radiotelephone and it transmits thedistress alert.3. After the distress alert is transmitted (about 40 seconds) the DSC-60 waits for the DIST ACKcall from a coast station. This usually takes less than 3 minutes and is accompanied with anaudio alarm. (If it is not received within 4.5 minutes the distress alert is re-transmitted.)4. The SSB sets the DSC distress frequency to use to communicate with the coast station. Withthe optional handset you can communicate through the DSC-60.CoastStation Own Ship Ship in Distress(Own Ship) Ship in distress sends Distress Alert Coast station sends distress acknowledgement (DIST ACK). Voice or telex communications between ship in distress and coast station
1-41.2.2 Individual callThe individual call is for sending a call to a specific station.CoastStationOwn ShipDSC Message [Called AcknowledgeRequest (ACK RQ) Signal]Acknowledge Back (ACK BQ) SignalVoice or telex communication321123Basic procedure1. Prepare message and transmit it by pressing the [CALL] key. The DSC-60 then awaitsacknowledgement of the call.2. Receive acknowledge back (ACK BQ) signal from receiving station (coast station or shipstation) within about five minutes. The audio alarm sounds at this time; press the [CANCEL]key to silence it.3. After receiving ACK BQ signal, communicate with coast station; the FURUNO SSBradiotelephone sets the working frequency and class of emission specified by your ship.1.3 Audio AlarmsWhen you receive a distress alert or routine call addressed to your ship the audio and visualalarms are released. For the distress or urgent call, the audio alarm sounds until the [CANCEL]key is pressed. For other calls, the audio alarm sounds for one second and then automaticallygoes off.The tone of the alarm depends on the call received. By becoming accustomed to the tone youcan know which type of call you have received.Alarm Frequency (interval)Safety message received 1300 Hz and 0 Hz (250 ms)Routine, Ship's Businessmessage received880 Hz and 440 Hz (500 ms)While DISTRESS button ispressed for three seconds2200 Hz and 0 Hz (125 ms)Distress alert is being sent 2200 Hz, continuousOwn ship position not updated 2200 Hz (50 ms), three beeps everytwo seconds
1-51.4 Remote Control and Automatic Acknowledge1.4.1 Remote controlThe DSC-60 and a FURUNO SSB radiotelephone communicate with each other by means of theMIF (FURUNO Radio Interface) data format, a unique handshaking type signal exchange systemdeveloped by FURUNO. The DSC-60 can also communicate with other makes ofradiotelephones which incorporate data format IEC-61162-1. The remote control feature allowsthe DSC-60 to automatically set the DSC and working frequencies and class of emission on aFURUNO SSB radiotelephone.1.4.2 Automatic acknowledgeThe automatic acknowledge feature, when turned on, automatically transmits the acknowledgeback signal to the sender when an individual, PSTN, position or polling call is received. With theautomatic acknowledge feature turned on the remote control is also turned on.Automatic acknowledge is alternately enabled or disabled with the [5/ACK] key.1.4.3 Both remote control and automatic acknowledge ONThe illustration and table below outline the sequence of events in an individual call when bothremote control and automatic acknowledge are turned on.FS-1562* DSC-60 FS-1562* DSC-60 TXACK BQAUTO ACK (own ship) AUTO ACK (other station)* FURUNO SSB radiotelphoneDSC operation Radiotelephone frequency ccccRadiotelephone frequencydddd1.

3-1 3. DISTRESS OPERATIONS3.1 Sending Distress Alert3.1.1 Sending distress alert by DISTRESS buttonGMDSS ships carry a DSC terminal with which to transmit the distress alert in the event of a lifeendangering situation onboard ship. A coast station receives the distress alert and sends thedistress alert acknowledge message to the ship in distress. Then, voice communicationsbetween the ship in distress and coast station begins, via the radiotelephone.Transmission of the distress alert and receiving of distress alert acknowledgement arecompletely automatic - simply press the [DISTRESS] button to initiate the sequence.1. Open the DISTRESS button cover and press and hold down the [DISTRESS] button morethan three seconds. The button flashes in red and the buzzer sounds rapidly. The displayshows the contents of the distress alert call: your ship’s nature of distress and position, time,and DSC frequency used to transmit the alert.The number of seconds to continue pressing the [DISTRESS] button appear at the bottom ofthe display. The buzzer sounds continuously when the button has been pressed threeseconds. You can release the button at that time.
