1. RC18xx Console Introduction

1-1

1.1 Introduction

• The FURUNO USA GMDSS Console is an integrated package designed to meet the requirements for Sea Area A3. While other configurations are available, and much of the information is similar, this manual was compiled for use with the A3 configuration.

Much of this information is taken from the manuals provided with this equipment. It has been placed in this format to ease installation and technical service.

• As with the installation of any communications equipment, careful planning is necessary.

Some of the most important points are: 1) Type and Location of Antennas. 2) Grounding for the Antenna Systems and for all associated equipment.

• These points are repeated in several sections to emphasize their importance. Many installation problems are related to these points, and close attention to the entire installation will lead to years of trouble free service for the customer.

2. Mechanical Installation

2-1

2.1 Mounting of the Console Refer to Furuno USA GMDSS Console Drawing

The RC18xx Console is designed to be mounted in two distinct positions:

• The first is to fasten the unit to a desk or base. Ten 3/8” holes have been

provided to ensure a secure mounting to the selected surface.

• The second is bulkhead mounting. Four 3/8” holes are provided through the back panel of the console to facilitate this mounting scheme.

Both are acceptable and are properly reinforced to provide a secure mounting.

2.2 Grounding

Refer to RC1815/RC1825 Mechanical Layout

A welded 3/8” stud has been attached to the console for grounding purposes. This grounding stud is located inside the back cover and should not be visible in a completed installation. This is provided to assist in properly grounding the console, and is the console’s connection to the electrical and RF grounding of the ship.

The grounding should be a copper ground strap, such as used in the antenna grounding system. To produce a good RF ground connection, brazing the ground strap to the steel console is highly recommended. Improper grounding will cause many problems in the system operation.

2.3 Power Supplies, Batteries and Battery Charger

• Mount the PR850A.

• Mount batteries in appropriate container or rack (see manufacturers recommendations). Console current requirements can be found on RC18xx Battery Requirements.

• Mount battery charger (see manufacturers recommendations).
