FOREWORD
A Word to the Owner of the FAX-30
FURUNO Electric Company thanks you for purchasing the FURUNO FAX-30 Facsimile
Receiver. 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
installed and maintained. Please carefully read and follow the operation, installation 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
Connected to a 10.4-inch NavNet series display unit or a PC, the FAX-30 receives facsimile
images and navtex messages, transmitted from facsimile and navtex stations.

Programmed with all existing facsimile stations and frequencies. User may program 320
channels.
Fully automatic facsimile operation with built-in schedule timer. Storage for 30 timer
programs.
Fully automatic selection of speed, IOC, phase alignment and frequency. Manual
selection also available.
Connection to printer via a PC to print facsimile images and navtex messages.
Facsimile images in monochrome, gray scale (8 tones) or color (three patterns).
Built in navtex receiver. (The receiver does not conform to GMDSS regulations.)

vi

Operational Characteristics
General

The equipment receives one facsimile image or naxtex message at a time. Thus, a
navtex message cannot be received when a facsimile image is being received and vice
versa, regardless of navtex message category.
Three receiving modes are available, facsimile, navtex, and facsimile(timer) & navtex.
When using the facsimile(timer) and navtex, the order of priority is
Facsimile(timer) (highest priority) Navtex (lowest priority)

The FAX-30 does not have an internal clock, so time is input from the NavNet display or
the PC. (For PC-only configuration, time data is read when the browser accesses the
FAX-30. Therefore, turn on the FAX-30 before accessing it from the PC to allow for input
of time data, which is necessary for facsimile timer recording.) To receive time data, do
the following:
NavNet: Output the date and time data sentence ZDA through the NavNet network.
PC: Set the PCs clock to the correct time.

If both a NavNet series unit and a PC are used, it is recommended to operate the FAX-30
from the PC because of the two different communication protocols. (Use the NavNet
series unit to feed navigation data to the PC.)
Navigation data must be fed through the network to use the automatic navtex mode.
Therefore, this mode is not available in the PC-only configuration.
NavNet
The FAX-30 cannot be accessed from the NavNet for 15 seconds after the FAX-30 has
been turned on.
NavNet requirements:
Navionics: Ver. 15, Boot Ver. 2 (1950006002)
C-MAP:
Ver. 11, Boot Ver. 2 (1950006002)
PC

The FAX-30 cannot be accessed from the PC while the FAX-30 is loading data at start up.
Wait until the POWER LED flashing interval changes from 0.4 to two seconds before
accessing the FAX-30.
Most operating procedures in this manual are written for use with the Internet Explorer.
Menu items, control button names, etc. may be different on the Netscape Navigator.

Then, reopen Netscape and try to connect again.
*3 Connection is frequently interrupted and cannot be restored.
# Not verified.

Use of older OS with recent browser will result in extremely slow operation.
If the browser goes into timeout while an image is being received, access to the FAX-30
may be interrupted. In this case, click the right button on the mouse and click Refresh.
Most PC operations are done with the left button on the mouse. The exception is saving a
facsimile image which is done with the right button.
The FAX-30 cannot be simultaneously accessed by multiple PCs. For this reason, be
sure to use the logout feature to logout a PC from the FAX-30 when its use is not
required.
If the FAX-30 appears to be abnormal, the browser version may not be compatible or
browser settings may be wrong. See the browser requirements on the previous page, the
browser and OS compatibility table above and the browser settings in paragraph 7.5.1.

Phase mismatch
When the FAX-30 starts receiving a broadcast already in progress, or noise
prevents detection of the phasing signal, the image may be divided into two
parts by a thick black (or white) stripe called a dead sector. This phenomenon is
due to phase mismatching. When this occurs, correct phase mismatching, after
the facsimile has been received.

Phase mismatch
When the FAX-30 starts receiving a broadcast already in progress, or noise
prevents detection of the phasing signal, the image may be divided into two
parts by a thick black (or white) stripe called a dead sector. This phenomenon is
due to phase mismatching. When this occurs, correct phase mismatching, after
the facsimile has been received.

About Navtex Messages

4.1.1

Message categories
Navtex stations throughout the world provide mariners with weather and
navigational navtex messages. These messages carry a four character header
code which identifies transmitting station, category of message, and message
number, numbered from 00 to 99. Message number 00 is reserved for important
emergency messages. The categories of messages available in the navtex
system are as below.
A: Coastal navigational warning
B: Meteorlogical warning
C: Ice report
D: Search and Rescue Alert
E: Meteorological forecast
F: Pilot message
G: Decca message

H: Loran message
I: Omega message
J: Differential Omega message
K: Other electronic navigator system message
L: Navarea warnings
V to Y: No category allocated
Z: QRU (no message on hand)

The user may select which message categories to receive and the stations from
which to receive them.
Note: It is recommended to minimally receive categories A, B, D and L because
they are important for navigation.

About Navtex Messages

5.1.1

Message categories
Navtex stations throughout the world provide mariners with weather and
navigational navtex messages. These messages carry a four character header
code which identifies transmitting station, category of message, and message
number, numbered from 00 to 99. Message number 00 is reserved for important
emergency messages. The categories of messages available in the navtex
system are as below.
A: Coastal navigational warning
B: Meteorlogical warning
C: Ice report
D: Search and Rescue Alert
E: Meteorological forecast
F: Pilot message
G: Decca message

H: Loran message
I: Omega message
J: Differential Omega message
K: Other electronic navigator system message
L: Navarea warnings
V to Y: No category allocated
Z: QRU (no message on hand)

The user may select which message categories to receive and the stations from
which to receive them.
Note 1: It is recommended to minimally receive categories A, B, D and L
because they are important for navigation.
Note 2: To learn more about navtex messages, see paragraph 4.4.2.

INSTALLATION

7.1

Facsimile Receiver
The facsimile receiver may be mounted on the deck or a bulkhead. When
selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:

Locate the unit out of direct sunlight because of heat that can build up inside
the cabinet.
Select a location where the connectors can be easily accessed.
Leave sufficient space around the unit for servicing and maintenance. See the
outline drawing for recommended servicing space.
For mounting on a bulkhead, be sure the mounting location is strong enough
to support the weight of the unit.
Locate the unit away from areas subject to water splash and rain.
A magnetic compass will be disturbed if the FAX-30 is placed too close to it.
Separate the FAX-30 from a magnetic compass by the distances below to
prevent interference to a magnetic compass.
Steering compass, 0.9 m, Standard compass, 0.6 m.

Fix the receiver to the mounting location with four 5 X 20 tapping screws
(supplied).

7. INSTALLATION

7.2

Antenna Unit
The performance of the facsimile receiver is directly related to the antenna
installation. In general, the antenna should be installed as high as possible on
the vessel, free from the influence of nearby antennas, rigging and masts. Be
sure to locate the antenna well away from TX antennas and noise generating
equipment. Pay particular attention to the antennas of MF and HF radio
equipment - they can damage the facsimile receiver through induction. (For
better protection against induction, use the preamp unit.)

7.2.1

General antenna connection


Connect the antenna to the facsimile receiver as shown below. If the preamp unit
is installed, set jumper block J23 on the RCV Board (in the FAX-30) to the
"ACTIVE" position. See paragraph 7.4.

Wire antenna or whip antenna


Either a long wire or whip antenna may be used. A wire antenna should be 15
meters or longer including the vertical section. A whip antenna should be 6
meters long.
The antenna can be shared with other receivers; use an antenna switch or
junction box.
Connect the antenna to the facsimile receiver with a coaxial cable of which the
diameter is larger than coaxial cable type 5D-2V. (5D-2V is a JIS (Japan
Industry Standard) Cable. Use equivalent cable, referring to the table in
paragraph 7.3.
If sensitivity of the wire antenna is low, use the preamp unit.

7-2

7. INSTALLATION

7.2.3

Installation of preamp unit FAX-5 (option)


Small boats may not afford the space to install a long wire antenna. In this case
it is recommended to install the preamp unit with 2.6 meter whip antenna. The
preamp unit can be installed two ways:

The base of the preamp unit is designed to accept a threaded extension of


one-inch diameter. The pitch of the thread should be 14 threads per inch. The
mast itself should be no longer than 1.5 meters to prevent flexing in heavy
winds.
Attach the preamp unit to a post with stainless steel hose clamps (option).
1. Fix the preamp unit to the mounting location.
2. Screw the whip antenna onto the preamp unit.
3. If the mast is metallic, run a ground wire (local supply) between the mast and
the ground terminal on the preamp unit.
4. Waterproof the junction and other exposed metallic parts with silicone
sealant.

with preamp unit) between the antenna wire and the preamp unit as
illustrated above.
Note 2: The preamp unit is powered by the facsimile receiver. To power the
preamp unit, set J23 on the RCV Board (in the FAX-30) to the
"ACTIVE" position. See paragraph 7.4.
