  iiiFOREWORD A Word to the Owner of the FA-150 FURUNO Electric Company thanks you for purchasing the FA-150 UAIS Transponder. 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 operated and maintained. Please carefully read and follow the operation 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 The FA-150 is a universal AIS (Automatic Identification System) capable of exchanging navigation and ship data between own ship and other ships or coastal stations. It complies with IMO MSC.74(69) Annex 3, A.694, ITU-R M.1371-1 and DSC ITU-R M.825. It also complies with IEC 61993-2 (Type testing standard), IEC 60945 (EMC and environmental conditions).   The FA-150 consists of VHF/GPS antennas, a transponder unit, a monitor unit, and several associated units. The transponder contains a VHF transmitter, two TDMA receivers on two parallel VHF channels, a DSC channel 70 receiver, interface, communication processor, and internal GPS receiver. The internal GPS is a 12-channel all-in-view receiver with a differential capability, and provides UTC reference for system synchronization to eliminate clash among multiple users. It also gives position, COG and SOG when the external GPS fails.
  iv The main features are   •  Safety of navigation by automatically exchanging navigational data between ships and between ship and coast. •  Static data:   - MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) - IMO number (where available) - Call sign & name - Length and beam - Type of ship - Location of position-fixing antenna on the ship •  Dynamic data:   - Ship’s position with accuracy indication and integrity status - UTC - Course over ground (COG) - Speed over ground (SOG) - Heading - Navigation status (manual input) - Rate of turn (where available) •  Voyage-related data - Ship’s draught - Hazardous cargo (type) - Destination and ETA (at master’s discretion) •  Short safety-related messages, Free messages •  LCD panel satisfying the IMO minimum requirements plus simple plotting modes •  Interfaces for radar, ECDIS, PC for future networking expansion •  GPS/VHF combined antenna for easy installation available •  CPA/TCPA alarm •  Built-in GPS receiver for UTC synchronization and backup position-fixing device

  viiSYSTEM OVERVIEW System overview The Automatic Identification System (AIS) was originally developed to aid the Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) by use of a VHF transponder working on Digital Selective Call (DSC) at VHF CH70, and is still in use along the UK coastal areas and others. Some time later the IMO developed a Universal AIS using the new sophisticated technology called Self-Organized Time Division Multiple Access (SOTDMA) based on a VHF Data Link (VDL).  The system operates in three modes – autonomous (continuous operation in all areas), assigned (data transmission interval remotely controlled by authority in traffic monitoring service) and polled (in response to interrogation from a ship or authority). It is synchronized with GPS time to avoid conflict among multiple users (IMO minimum 2000 reports per minute and IEC requires 4500 reports on two channels). The VHF channels 87B and 88B are commonly used and in addition there are local AIS frequencies. Shipborne AIS transponders exchange various data as specified by the IMO and ITU on either frequency automatically set up by the frequency management telecommand received by the DSC receiver on ship. VHF transmit power is also set up for 12.5 W or   2 W automatically. VTS centerAids toNavigation(AtoN)TransponderVTS Center transmits TDMA CHmanagement message includingcode, type, position, etc. of buoysevery 3 min, and the AtoN broadcaststhese messages for ships.All ships broadcast Static and Dynamic information (autonomous andcontinuous mode). If OS wants to know information about ship 1, OS shallsend an interrogation in polling mode; then ship 1 will transmit herresponse on the same VHF channel without operator intervention.Interrogation and ResponseStatic and Dynamic information incl.MMSI, Name, POSN, HDG, COG, SOGShip 1Own shipThe VTS center transmits a command onfrequency assignment, slots, report rate,VHF output power, channel spacing, etc.(Assigned mode)AIS-fitted AtoN broadcasts itsidentification, type of operation,location, displacement, etc. at3 min intervals or at a reportingrate designated by theAdministration authorities.TransponderTrans-ponder AIS system
  viii Not all ships carry AIS The Officer of the Watch (OOW) should always be aware that other ships, and in particular leisure craft, fishing boats and warships, and some coastal shore stations (including Vessel Traffic Service centers) might not be fitted with AIS.  The OOW should also be aware that AIS fitted on other ships as a mandatory carriage requirement might be switched off by the master if its use might compromise the security of the vessel. Thus, users are therefore cautioned to always bear in mind that information provided by AIS may not be giving a complete or correct “picture” of shipping traffic in their vicinity.   Use of AIS in collision avoidance As an anti-collision aid the AIS has the following advantages over radar: •  Information provided in near real-time •  Capable of instant presentation of target course alterations •  Not subject to target swap •  Not subject to target loss in clutter •  Not subject to target loss due to fast maneuvers •  Able to detect ships within VHF/FM coverage, including in some circumstances, around bends and behind islands. When using the AIS for anti-collision purposes it is important to remember that the AIS is an additional source of navigation information. It does not replace other navigational systems. The AIS may not be giving a complete or correct “picture” of shipping traffic in its vicinity.  The use of the AIS does not negate the responsibility of the OOW to comply with all collision regulation requirements, especially the maintaining of a proper look-out. The prudent navigator uses all aids available to navigate the ship.  Erroneous information Erroneous information implies a risk to other ships as well as your own. Poorly configured or improperly calibrated sensors might lead to incorrect information being transmitted. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that all information entered into the system is correct and up to date.

If “NG” (No Good) appears for any of the check results, try resetting the power to restore normal operation. If that does not work, contact your dealer for advice. After the startup test is completed the plotter display appears, showing the message “NOW INITIALIZING,” which means the transponder is initializing itself. After completion of initialization the equipment is ready for use.  If there is no response from the transponder unit, the message “COMMUNICATION ERROR” appears at the startup screen. Press any key to erase the message. Check if the transponder unit is powered. Also check the connection between the monitor unit and the transponder unit.
1. OPERATION  1-3The FA-150 should be powered while underway or at anchor. The master may switch off the AIS if he believes that the continual operation of the AIS might compromise the safety or security of his ship. The AIS should be restarted once the source of danger has disappeared.    The equipment transmits own ship static data within two minutes of start-up and it is transmitted at six-minute intervals. Static data includes MMSI number, IMO number, call sign, ship name, ship length and width, ship type and GPS antenna position.  In addition to static data, ship’s dynamic data is also transmitted. This data includes position with accuracy, SOG, COG, rate of turn, heading, etc. Dynamic data is transmitted every 2 s to 3 min depending on ship’s speed, course change. Voyage-related data, such as ship’s draft, hazardous cargo, destination and estimated time of arrival are transmitted at six-minute intervals.  The FA-150 starts receiving data from AIS-equipped ships as soon as it is turned on, and those ships’ location on the plotter display is shown with the AIS symbol. (To learn more about the plotter display, see paragraph 1.7.) With connection of a radar or ECDIS, the AIS target symbols may be overlaid on the radar or ECDIS.    Note 1: If no navigation sensor is installed or a sensor such as a gyrocompass has failed, the AIS automatically transmits “not available” data. Note 2: The reporting intervals are as follows:  Ship’s navigation status and reporting interval Ship’s navigation status  Reporting interval Moored 3 min 0-14 kt speed  10 s 0-14 kt speed with course change  3+1/3 s 14-23 kt speed  6 s 14-23 kt speed with course change  2 s Speed higher than 23 kt  2 s Speed higher than 23 kt with course change  2 s

1. OPERATION  1-28 1.9  Regional Operating Channels AIS operates primarily on two dedicated VHF channels, CH 2087 and CH2088. Where these channels are not available regionally, the AIS is capable of being automatically switching to designated alternate channels by means of a message from a shore facility. Where no shore based AIS or GMDSS sea area A1 station is in place, the AIS should be switched manually as in paragraph 1.9.2.  A regional operating area is set with the procedure shown below. The most recent eight areas are memorized. •  Automatic setting of VHF DSC (channel 70) from shore-based AIS •  Automatic setting by AIS message from shore-based AIS •  Setting by shipboard system such as ECDIS •  Manual setting The default area is as follows: •  Tx power: 12.5 W •  Channel no. 2087, 2088 •  Frequency bandwidth: 25 kHz •  Tx/Rx mode: Tx/Rx  1.9.1  Viewing channels, Tx power Do the following to view current channels.  1.
