FOREWORD

A Word to the Owner of the FA-30

Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO FA-30 AIS Receiver. We are confident you will
see why the FURUNO name has become synonymous with quality and reliability.

Since 1948, FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for quality marine
electronics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our extensive global network
of agents and dealers.

This equipment is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine environ-
ment. However, no machine can perform its intended function unless operated and maintained
properly. Please carefully read and follow the recommended procedures for operation and main-
tenance.
Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO equipment.

Features
The FA-30 is a compact and cost effective AIS Receiver that is designed specifically for small
commercial, leisure and fishing boats.
Connected to a VHF antenna it receives AIS data from AIS-equipped vessels, shore stations and
navigational aids (AIS-equipped buoys, etc.). Vessel movement is plotted on a display connected
to the LAN port. Data includes identity (name, call sign and MMSI), position, speed, heading, etc.
of AIS-equipped vessels within VHF range.

1.2 AIS Receiver FA-30
Mounting considerations, mounting
The FA-30 can be mounted on a desktop, deck or on a bulkhead. When selecting a
mounting location, keep the following points in mind:

• The temperature and humidity should be moderate and stable.

• Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes and vents.
• The mounting location should be well ventilated.
• Mount the unit where shock and vibration are minimal.
• Keep the unit away from electromagnetic field-generating equipment such as
motors and generators.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the FA-30 is placed too close to it. Observe
the compass safe distances noted in the safety instructions to prevent disturbance
to the magnetic compass.
• Fix the unit to the mounting location with 4x20 self-tapping screws (supplied).

1.3 Whip Antenna
Location
The location of the AIS VHF-antenna should be carefully considered. Digital commu-
nication is more sensitive than analog/voice communication to interference created by
reflections in obstructions like masts and booms. It may be necessary to relocate the
VHF radiotelephone antenna to minimize interference effects. To minimize interfer-
ence effects, the following guidelines apply:

• The AIS VHF antenna should be placed in an elevated position that is as free as
possible with a minimum of 0.5 meters in the horizontal direction from constructions
made of conductive materials. The antenna should not be installed close to any
large vertical obstruction. The objective for the AIS VHF antenna is to see the hori-
zon freely through 360 degrees.
• There should not be more than one antenna on the same plane. The AIS VHF
antenna should be mounted directly above or below the ship’s primary VHF radio-
telephone antenna, with no horizontal separation and with a minimum of 2.8 meters
vertical separation. If it is located on the same plane as other antennas, the dis-
tance apart should be at least 10 meters.
• Install the VHF whip antenna (option) referring to the outline drawing at the back of
this manual. Separate this antenna from other VHF radiotelephone antennas as
shown below to prevent interference to the FA-30.

Cabling
• Use coaxial cable type 5D-2V or the equivalent.
• The cable should be kept as short as possible to minimize signal attenuation, and
the maximum length is 50 meters.
• All outdoor-installed connectors on coaxial cables should be fitted with preventive
isolation such as vulcanizing tape to protect against water penetration into the
antenna cable.
• Coaxial cables should be installed in separate signal cable channels/tubes and at
least 10 cm away from power supply cables. Crossing of cables should be done at
right angles (90 degrees). The minimum bend radius of the coaxial cable should be
5 times the cable's outer diameter.
