Features
The FA-150 is a universal AIS (Automatic Identification System) capable of exchanging
navigation and ship data between own ship and other ships or coastal stations. It 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 IEC 61993-2 (Type testing standard), IEC 60945 (EMC and environmental
conditions).
The FA-150 consists of VHF/GPS antennas, a transponder unit, a monitor unit, and
several associated units. The transponder contains a VHF transmitter, two TDMA
receivers on two parallel VHF channels, a DSC channel 70 receiver, interface,
communication processor, and internal GPS receiver. The internal GPS is a 12-channel
all-in-view receiver with a differential capability, and provides UTC reference for system
synchronization to eliminate clash among multiple users. It also gives position, COG and
SOG when the external GPS fails.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
System overview
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) was originally developed to aid the Vessel
Traffic Services (VTS) by use of a VHF transponder working on Digital Selective Call
(DSC) at VHF CH70, and is still in use along the UK coastal areas and others. Some time
later the IMO developed a Universal AIS using the new sophisticated technology called
Self-Organized Time Division Multiple Access (SOTDMA) based on a VHF Data Link
(VDL).
The system operates in three modes – autonomous (continuous operation in all areas),
assigned (data transmission interval remotely controlled by authority in traffic monitoring
service) and polled (in response to interrogation from a ship or authority). It is
synchronized with GPS time to avoid conflict among multiple users (IMO minimum 2000
reports per minute and IEC requires 4500 reports on two channels). The VHF channels
87B and 88B are commonly used and in addition there are local AIS frequencies.
Shipborne AIS transponders exchange various data as specified by the IMO and ITU on
either frequency automatically set up by the frequency management telecommand
received by the DSC receiver on ship. VHF transmit power is also set up for 12.5 W or
2 W automatically.
AIS-fitted AtoN broadcasts its
identification, type of operation,
location, displacement, etc. at
3 min intervals or at a reporting
rate designated by the
Administration authorities.
Transponder
Aids to
Navigation
(AtoN)
VTS Center transmits TDMA CH
management message including
code, type, position, etc. of buoys
every 3 min, and the AtoN broadcasts
these messages for ships.
VTS center
The VTS center transmits a command on
frequency assignment, slots, report rate,
VHF output power, channel spacing, etc.

Ship 1
All ships broadcast Static and Dynamic information (autonomous and
continuous mode). If OS wants to know information about ship 1, OS shall
send an interrogation in polling mode; then ship 1 will transmit her
response on the same VHF channel without operator intervention.

Not all ships carry AIS
The Officer of the Watch (OOW) should always be aware that other ships, and in particular
leisure craft, fishing boats and warships, and some coastal shore stations (including
Vessel Traffic Service centers) might not be fitted with AIS.
The OOW should also be aware that AIS fitted on other ships as a mandatory carriage
requirement might be switched off by the master if its use might compromise the security
of the vessel. Thus, users are therefore cautioned to always bear in mind that information
provided by AIS may not be giving a complete or correct “picture” of shipping traffic in their
vicinity.
Use of AIS in collision avoidance
As an anti-collision aid the AIS has the following advantages over radar:
• Information provided in near real-time
• Capable of instant presentation of target course alterations
• Not subject to target swap
• Not subject to target loss in clutter
• Not subject to target loss due to fast maneuvers
• Able to detect ships within VHF/FM coverage, including in some circumstances, around
bends and behind islands.
When using the AIS for anti-collision purposes it is important to remember that the AIS is
an additional source of navigation information. It does not replace other navigational
systems. The AIS may not be giving a complete or correct “picture” of shipping traffic in its
vicinity.
The use of the AIS does not negate the responsibility of the OOW to comply with all
collision regulation requirements, especially the maintaining of a proper look-out. The
prudent navigator uses all aids available to navigate the ship.
Erroneous information
Erroneous information implies a risk to other ships as well as your own. Poorly configured
or improperly calibrated sensors might lead to incorrect information being transmitted. It is
the user’s responsibility to ensure that all information entered into the system is correct
and up to date.

If “NG” (No Good) appears for any of the check results, try resetting the power
to restore normal operation. If that does not work, contact your dealer for
advice. After the startup test is completed the plotter display appears, showing
the message “NOW INITIALIZING,” which means the transponder is initializing
itself. After completion of initialization the equipment is ready for use.
If there is no response from the transponder unit, the message
“COMMUNICATION ERROR” appears at the startup screen. Press any key to
erase the message. Check if the transponder unit is powered. Also check the
connection between the monitor unit and the transponder unit.

1. OPERATION
The FA-150 should be powered while underway or at anchor. The master may
switch off the AIS if he believes that the continual operation of the AIS might
compromise the safety or security of his ship. The AIS should be restarted
once the source of danger has disappeared.
The equipment transmits own ship static data within two minutes of start-up
and it is transmitted at six-minute intervals. Static data includes MMSI number,
IMO number, call sign, ship name, ship length and width, ship type and GPS
antenna position.
In addition to static data, ship’s dynamic data is also transmitted. This data
includes position with accuracy, SOG, COG, rate of turn, heading, etc. Dynamic
data is transmitted every 2 s to 3 min depending on ship’s speed, course
change. Voyage-related data, such as ship’s draft, hazardous cargo,
destination and estimated time of arrival are transmitted at six-minute intervals.
The FA-150 starts receiving data from AIS-equipped ships as soon as it is
turned on, and those ships’ location on the plotter display is shown with the AIS
symbol. (To learn more about the plotter display, see paragraph 1.7.) With
connection of a radar or ECDIS, the AIS target symbols may be overlaid on the
radar or ECDIS.
Note 1: If no navigation sensor is installed or a sensor such as a gyrocompass
has failed, the AIS automatically transmits “not available” data.

You may send and receive messages via the VHF link, to a specified
destination (MMSI) or all ships in the area. Messages can be sent to warn of
safety of navigation; for example, an iceberg sighted. Routine messages are
also permitted.
Short safety-related messages are only an additional means to broadcast
safety information. They do not remove the requirements of the GMDSS.
When a message is received, the equipment beeps and the indication
“MESSAGE” appears. The contents of the message may be viewed on the

Regional Operating Channels
AIS operates primarily on two dedicated VHF channels, CH 2087 and CH2088.
Where these channels are not available regionally, the AIS is capable of being
automatically switching to designated alternate channels by means of a
message from a shore facility. Where no shore based AIS or GMDSS sea area
A1 station is in place, the AIS should be switched manually as in paragraph
1.9.2.
A regional operating area is set with the procedure shown below. The most
recent eight areas are memorized.
• Automatic setting of VHF DSC (channel 70) from shore-based AIS
• Automatic setting by AIS message from shore-based AIS
• Setting by shipboard system such as ECDIS
• Manual setting
The default area is as follows:
• Tx power: 12.5 W
• Channel no. 2087, 2088
• Frequency bandwidth: 25 kHz
• Tx/Rx mode: Tx/Rx

Parts List
This equipment contains complex modules in which fault diagnosis and repair down to
component level are not practical (IMO A.694(17)/8.3.1). Only some discrete components
are used. FURUNO Electric Co., Ltd. believes identifying these components is of no value
for shipboard maintenance; therefore, they are not listed in the manual. Major modules
can be located on the parts location photo on page AP-4 and AP-5.
