Furuno FA30 AIS System

|
The FA30 Automatic Identification
System (AIS) Receiver provides real-time information about AIS-equipped
vessels to your NavNet 3D or NavNet vx2, AIS-ready chart plotter,
navigation software or radar. The information is graphically presented
allowing you to monitor and avoid AIS equipped vessels in your
area. The information that the FA30 receives includes the vessel
name and call sign, position, course, speed over ground, and other
useful information. Since AIS targets can be received even if
they are not within line of sight, the FA30 enhances situational
awareness in congested waterways, limited visibility or heavy
sea conditions, and gives the navigator much more information
about AIS equipped vessels.
The FA30 has an Ethernet and a serial port. This provides simple
and easy connection by Ethernet to Navnet VX2 and NavNet 3D systems,
MaxSea NavNet Navigation software, and the MaxSea AIS viewer PC
software that is included with the FA30. AIS capable radar, chart
plotters and Non-NavNet versions of MaxSea are interfaced through
the FA-30 serial port. The FA-30 will work with virtually any
marine VHF antenna. An optional VHF signal splitter is offered
to allow the FA-30 to work with an existing VHF radio antenna
installation.
