1.
1.3 Power Supply Unit The transceiver unit FS-1562-15 or FS-1562-25 works direct on 24 VDC or through a Power Supply Unit on AC mains supply (115 or 230 VAC). The power supply unit is type PR-300 supplying 24 VDC power (20 A) to the FS-1562-15 (150 W) Transceiver Unit or type PR-850A, supplying 24 VDC (40 A) for the FS-1562-25 (250 W). Both 115/230 VAC and 24 VDC power can be connected simultaneously.
1.4 Starting operation The power switch is combined with the Volume Control. Turn the Volume Control clockwise until you hear a click. Further clockwise rotation of the control raises the loudspeaker volume. To turn off the power, turn the control fully counterclockwise until you hear the click. Adjusting the backlighting: The dimmer [9] key adjusts the backlighting for the operation display and the keyboard.
The frequencies are indicated by: Voice frequencies: Designated by the CARRIER frequency. Assigned frequencies are 1.4 kHz higher than the carrier frequencies.
Direct frequency entry Free selection is possible in Dutch Version (in marine bands only). RX: To set for a receive frequency of 1636.4 kHz, for example; Press [RX], [1], [6], [3], [6], [4], [ENT] in this order. The decimal point is not required to enter. TX: To set for a transmit frequency of 2061.4 kHz, for example; Press [TX], [2], [0], [6], [1], [4], [ENT]. DUP R 0 2 4 6 8 10 S SQ AGC NB J3E • • The [2] Cursor key shifts the cursor among last 4 places.
Custom channels Up to 200 custom channels can be programmed in addition to 412 ITU channels. You can recall them through the keyboard by channel numbers. Once a channel is selected with the keyboard, the channel can be changed with the FREQ/CH rotary selector. NOTE: Custom channel programming should be done by a FURUNO service agent.
• • The [CURS (cursor)] key shifts the cursor to band or channel number. To change the channel number, you can use the rotary control. The [FREQ/CH] control changes the number above the cursor, a band or channel designator. ITU TELEX channels To select the ITU TELEX channel 4012, for example, first select TLX with the [MODE] key. This radiotelephone is furnished with J2B class of emission. The J2B is compatible with F1B which may be used on other parties.
1.6 Transmitting After selecting class of emission and frequency, you can transmit by pressing the PTT (press-to-talk) switch Do not transmit any signal on the handset or microphone. Output power can be other than emergency during the evaluated on the operation display. silence period, 00 to 03 min and 30 to 33 min of every hour. Tuning the antenna: Maximum transmission power is achieved only when the antenna impedance and transmitter impedance match each other.
Reducing transmitter power: To conserve energy and to minimize possible interference to other stations, reduce the transmission power. This should be done when using the transceiver in a harbor, near the shore or close to communication partner (other ship). Each pressing of the [HI/LOW] key selects high or low output power. “LOW” appears on the display when low output power is selected. Low power is 60 Wpep for FS-1562-15 and FS-1562-25, both. The output power on 2182 kHz (Distress and calling) and 2187.
2. Distress calls and Distress message (1) (2) (3) Speak slowly and distinctly, “MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY, pronounced as the French expression “m’aider”. This is; The name of your vessel and call sign three times.
1.8 In the Event of Antenna Coupler Failure HIGH TENSION HAZARD DO NOT TRANSMIT WHEN ATU IS OPENED The Antenna Coupler automatically tunes a wire or whip antenna to the transceiver. When the tuning cannot be completed for all frequencies, TUNE OK will not appear on the operation display. In this case, you can take tuning on 2182 kHz by manually operating Coupler as below: 1. Turn off the transceiver unit. Remove the cover of the Antenna Coupler. 2. Set the MANUAL-AUTO switch to the MANUAL position.
1.10 Receiving You can select a receiving frequency by one of the following methods: - Direct frequency entry, or - Channel number entry Adjusting RF gain: In normal use the RF GAIN control should be set for maximum. If the audio on the received channel is unclear or interfered with other signals, adjust (usually reduce) the RF gain to improve clarity. Clarifier adjustment: If reception is unclear, try to clarify the signal as follows.
Squelch control: Squelch is used to mute the receiver audio output when the receiver input is less than a preset value or dominant noise is higher than a preset (1000 Hz) level. To switch the squelch function ON, press the [5] SQUELCH key. Make sure the label “SQ” appears on the display. To pick up a weak signal at high audio frequencies, you should remove the squelch function notwithstanding a possible increase of background noise. To do this, press the [5] SQ switch again.
ITU channels: To select the scan group (band or channel), shift the cursor to either the position of the band or channel number by pressing the [2] CURS key. (Band scan is useful to watch frequencies on the same channel in different bands.) 2. Press the [6] SCAN key, and “SCAN” appears. The receiver starts scanning, stopping at a channel where the signal is stronger than the scan-stop level. The receiver will restart scanning when the traffic goes out of that channel.
Chapter 2 OPERATION of OPTIONAL DEVICES 2.1 Telex Communication Telex communication is performed with a Narrow-band direct-printing (NBDP) Terminal connected with an SSB transceiver. The recommended terminal for the FS-1562 is FURUNO DP-6. Other makes can also be connected with the FS-1562, if they comply with the interfacing requirements. FURUNO NBDP Terminal DP-6 No special operation is required; class of emission and frequencies are automatically set on the DP-6. Other makes of NBDP Terminal: 1.
