2.3 Transmission

After selecting the class of emission and frequency, you can transmit by pressing the

PTT switch on the handset.

2.3.1 Transmission procedure

Maximum transmission power is achieved only when the antenna impedance and

transmitter impedance match each other. Because the antenna impedance changes

with frequency, antenna impedance matching with the transmitter impedance is done

with the antenna coupler. The antenna coupler automatically tunes the transmitter to

a wide range of different antenna lengths. The available range is;

• Wire antenna 10 to 18 meters long (horizontal part)

• Whip antenna eight meters long (Horizontal feeder is two meters or longer.)

• Whip antenna 10 meters long

To initiate the tuning, do the following:

1. Press the PTT switch on the handset. Tuning is automatically adjusted at first

transmission after frequency is changed. For manual tuning, press the 0/TUNE

key on the RT screen. If tuning fails, the message "TUNE NG" appears and the

output power is automatically set to [LOW] (for FS-1575/2575) or [LOW2] (for FS-

5075).

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

Note: When tuning is initiated in the two control unit system, the screen of the idle con-

trol unit shows "OCCUPIED (CONTROLLER 1 (or 2))". In this case, only the

DISTRESS key is operative on the idle control unit.

2.3.2 How to change transmission power

To minimize possible interference to other stations, reduce the transmission power.

This should be done when using the transceiver in a harbor, near the shore or close

to communication partner (other ship).

1. Rotate the ENTER knob to select [HIGH], [MID], [LOW] (for FS-1575/2575),

[LOW1] (for FS-5075) or [LOW2] (for FS-5075) (whichever is displayed), then

push the knob.

2. Rotate the ENTER knob to select the option desired then push the knob.

Note: The temperature of the power amplifier is monitored. When its temperature ris-

es above a certain temperature, output power is automatically reduced.

2.3.3 Condition of the transmitter

While transmitting, you can display [IA] (antenna current), [IC] (collector current), [VC]

(collector voltage), [RF] (RF output) or [VS] (source voltage) on the RT screen.

1. Rotate the ENTER knob to select [IA], [IC], [VC], [RF] or [VS] (whichever is dis-

played) then push the knob.

2. Rotate the ENTER knob to select the option desired then push the knob.

Check the transmission power

During transmission, the IA bar deflects according to the current being fed from the

antenna coupler to the antenna feeder. The unit of readout is amperes. The antenna

current varies with the effective antenna impedance. The reading differs by the fre-

quency and antenna length. The output power is proportional to the square of an an-

tenna current.

In normal use the sensitivity should be set for maximum. If the audio on the received

channel is unclear or interfered with other signals, adjust (usually reduce) sensitivity

to improve clarity.

Rotate the RF GAIN/PUSH TO ATT knob to adjust gain (sensitivity).

The setting value is displayed at the lower left-hand side of the

screen, with analog and digital indications.

3. DSC OVERVIEW

3.1 What is DSC?

DSC is an acronym meaning Digital Selective Calling. It is a digital distress and gen-

eral calling system in the MF and HF bands used by ships for transmitting distress

alerts and general calls and by coast stations for transmitting the associated acknowl-

edgements.

For DSC distress, safety and urgency callings in the MF and HF bands, the frequen-

cies are 2187.5, 4207.5, 6312.0, 8414.5, 12577.0, and 16804.5 kHz.

3.2 DSC Message

DSC calls are roughly divided in two groups: distress messages and general (safety,

urgency and routine) messages. Below are the types of DSC messages.

*SPECIAL MSG: To send these messages, set [SPECIAL MSG] to [ABLE]. See

section 6.18.

3. Communicate with the coast station.

4.1 How to Send Distress Alert

GMDSS ships carry a DSC terminal with which to transmit the distress alert in the

event of a life-endangering situation. A coast station receives the distress alert and

sends the distress alert acknowledge call to the ship in distress. Then, voice or telex

communication between the ship in distress and coast station begins. Transmission

of the distress alert and receiving of the distress alert acknowledgement are complete-

ly automatic - simply press the DISTRESS key to initiate the sequence.

There are three types of distress alerts; MULTI, SINGLE, AUTO. MULTI is used nor-

mally. To use another method, see step 10 in paragraph 4.1.2.

Note: After sending the distress alert, no control unit has priority.

4.1.1 How to send distress alert by DISTRESS key with distress in-

formation not edited

1. Open the DISTRESS key cover then press the DISTRESS key for four seconds.

The audio alarm sounds while pressing the key, and the key flashes in red. The

lection), stopping when an synchronous code is found. In the ARQ mode it stops when

your own ID code is detected in an incoming signal. Also, in the ARQ mode, the trans-

mitter is then tuned to the corresponding transmitter frequency, the communication

link is established and the traffic is automatically exchanged. Scanning resumes once

the link is disconnected.

8. NBDP PREPARATIONS

9. NBDP FILE OPERATIONS

This chapter mainly describes how to create, save, open, edit and print files. The [Edit]

menu provides a full lineup of editing facilities, including search and replace.

9.1 How to Open and Close Files

To create a telex message, you need to make a new file with the File Open command.

When you open a new file, it is placed (opened) in one of two working areas. When

both working areas are occupied, you must close a file to open a new file. This is done

with the File Close command.

#, &, *, $ and % in telex messages. Do not put "$$$" in the middle of a TX message,

but at the end. The communication line is automatically disconnected when this string

is detected. To enter "$$$" when editing a message, press the Ctrl + Q keys for IB-

585. For IB-583, enter "$$$" with using the $(4) key.

9.3 How to Save a File

IB-583

Use only 2HD type floppy disks. Insert the floppy disk with care. Rough handling can

destroy the information stored inside. To eject the disk, press the Eject button on the

left side of the floppy disk drive then remove the disk. Do not eject the disk while the

operating lamp is lit, otherwise the contents of the disk can be damaged.

IB-585

Use SD cards 2GB or less, or SDHC cards 32GB or less. Insert or eject the SD card

with care when the power is off. Rough handling can destroy the information stored

inside. To eject the SD card with power-on, execute [Remove SD Card] in the [File]

menu (see "Function key F1: [File] menu" on page 7-6) then remove the SD card.

About the SD card (including SDHC)

SD cards of 2GB or less do not require formatting. Format cards of

higher capacity (see paragraph 9.3.1).

Note 1: The message "Device Access Error" appears if an unformatted SDHC card is

inserted in the drive when the power is turned on.

Note 2: If an SDHC card is formatted, its contents are deleted. The capacity of an

SDHC card is reduced to 2GB after it is formatted.

Note 3: The formatted SDHC card is treated as 2GB SD card on external devices (PC,

etc.).

The SD cards in the table below have been tested:

10.9 Preparation of Macrofiles for Automatic Telex

10.9.1 Automatic telex overview

This section shows you how to communicate with a coast station which handles auto-

matic telex transmission, using macrofiles. You need to register communication chan-

nels and stations, and prepare macrofiles.

The coast stations using automatic telex are MCI Marine Services (North America),

Sydney Radio (Australia), Lyngby Radio (Denmark), and others. The procedure is

mostly common to all coast stations, however refer to the coast station's traffic manual

for details.

Sample of automatic telex network

The services available in automatic telex are

• Message transfer between ship and coast station (store-and-forward)

• Connection with landline telex (direct dialing)

• Multi address

10.9.2 Preparations

You need to register the following three items to use automatic telex.

How to register answerback code

The coast station assigns a telex number. This number functions as an answerback

code. An answerback code contains the following:

The procedure to register the answerback code is the same as which appears in

paragraph 8.1.1. If an answerback code was registered before the commissioning of

the coast station, a new answerback code must be entered. Contact FURUNO or an

authorized FURUNO agent or dealer to enter a new answerback code.

How to register scan groups

The central system emits a free-signal to indicate a coast station radio channel is in

idle condition and available for ship-to-shore calls. The free-signal is detected and rec-

ognized by the shipboard equipment as a permission to start the transmission. Then,

the shipboard operator initiates a call.

You can automatically scan search for the free-signal by registering coast station radio

channels in scan group(s). The procedure to register scan groups for coast station use

is the same as that which appears in paragraph 8.5.1.

How to register stations

The next step is to enter station name. The procedure is the same as that shown in

paragraph 8.3.1.
