We are pleased to announce that #furuno has expanded its range of maritime safety equipment with the introduction of the FA-40 AIS Receiver and the AIS CLASS B+ FA-70 Transponder, respectively replacement of the AIS FA-30 and FA-50.
Useful for safety at sea as collision avoidance systems in conjunction with marine radar, the AIS FA-40/70 combine cutting-edge technology with a simple and compact design.
Compact & Light Housing
The FA-40/70 with a compact housing helps save space inside a console, where a variety of black box processors are installed.
NMEA2000 & NMEA0183 Interface
The FA-40/70 is compatible with both NMEA2000 and NMEA0183 interfaces to fit in both legacy to latest NMEA network.
The initial setup can be carried out from NavNet TZtouch2 or TZtouch3 via the NMEA-2000 network, or from a PC via the USB port which FA-40/70 are equipped with.
Focus on CLASS B+ AIS Transponder FA-70
The new Class B+ technology has been introduced to position between Class A and conventional Class B to improve transmission performance.
It uses the same SOTDMA technology as Class A and can transmits faster than conventional Class B that use the CSTDMA technology: the transmission speed of the FA-70 is up to 6 times that of the FA-50. The result? Greater efficiency and better safety! In addition, the transmission power of the CLASS B + AIS TRANSPONDER FA-70 has also been increased and it is selectable from 1W, 2W and 5W.
FA-70 is equipped with an integrated VHF splitter; this solution allows to use a single antenna for both AIS and VHF on board. In addition, via an external switch, it is possible to activate the "SILENT MODE" function: transmission is thus disabled although the FA-70 continues to receive the surrounding AIS targets.
Standard equipment
The standard equipment of both AIS FA-40 and FA-70 includes:
1x cavo alimentazione & NMEA-0183 da 2m;
NOTE: FA-40 is equipped with an integrated GPS sensor, so you can connect a GPS antenna of the type GPA-017, GPA-C01. The AIS FA-40 and FA-70 can also be used as a source of GPS data, both primary and back-up.
