Furuno FA150 AIS System

The FA150 is a shipborne Universal AIS (Automatic Identification System) Transponder capable of exchanging navigation and ship data between own ship and other ships or coastal stations. The FA150 consists of a transponder unit and a compact display unit with 4.5" Silver Bright Display. The compact FA150 display is designed to accomodate a simple and space-saving installation with a user-friendly ergonomic design.
The transponder unit contains a VHF transmitter, two TDMA receivers on parallel VHF channels, a DSC channel 70 receiver, interface processor and internal GPS receiver. The GPS receiver is a 12-channel all-in-view receiver and has Differential capabilities (DGPS). The GPS receiver provides UTC reference and also provides position, COG and SOG in the event that a connected external GPS receiver fails.

The FA150 provides multiple interfaces for Radar, ECDIS and PC. The available Combo GPS/VHF antenna affords flexible, easy installation.

The FA150 provides the following data:

MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity)
IMO Number (where available)
Call sign & vessel name
Length and beam
Type of ship
Location of position-fixing antenna on ship
Ship's position with accuracy indication and integrity status
UTC
COG, SOG and Heading
ROT (Rate of Turn) where available
Ship's draught
Navigation status
Hazardous cargo (type)
Destination and ETA (at captain's discretion)
Short safety-related messages and free messages.
The FA150 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 IEAC 61993-2 (Type testing standard) and IEC 60945 (EMC and environmental conditions).
