1.4 Mutual Operation of Equipment

As noted earlier, the equipment in this radio console are interfaced by FURUNO's MIF radio

interface. For example, to transmit a message over the MF/HF DSC Terminal or NBDP Termi-

nal, the Tx and Rx frequencies and class of emission are automatically set on the SSB Radio-

telephone and then the message is transmitted.

Two printers are supplied and one is dedicated to the Inmarsat C. The other printer is shared by

up to four units: MF/HF DSC Terminal, NBDP Terminal, and external VHF DSC (maximum

two sets, option). It is automatically connected to one of those equipment on a first-come-first-

served basis. For example, if the MF/HF DSC Terminal is used (message transmission or recep-

tion), the printer is automatically connected to the MF/HF DSC Terminal and disconnects itself

from other equipment.

Connection between MF/HF DSC Terminal and NBDP Terminal

Suppose you transmitted a call over the MF/HF DSC Terminal and want to communicate with

the receiving station by the NBDP Terminal instead of the SSB Radiotelephone. If the MF/HF

DSC Terminal and NBDP Terminal were not connected you would have to set the several data

such as working frequency, communication mode, etc. manually on the NBDP Terminal. Be-

cause they are connected by the remote function, however, the data mentioned above are auto-

matically set on the NBDP Terminal via the MF/HF DSC Terminal.

1.5 Power On/Off

Turning on the system

For RC-1800F use the power switch at the lower left side of the console. For RC-1800T use

main switch on the switchboard and power switch on each AC/DC power supply.

1. Turn on breakers and switches on the AC/DC Power Supply in the following order:

1 100/200 VAC main power switch

2 PR-850AR AC input breaker

3 PR-850AR DC output breaker

4 All toggle switches (any order) on right side

2. Turn on power switches (any order) of all equipment in the console.
