Features
The FA-100 is a universal shipborne 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-100 consists of VHF/GPS antennas, a transponder 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, LCD
display, 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.
The LCD panel displays all required information about static data, dynamic data,
voyage-related data and short safety-related messages. The information and messages
are automatically updated according to the ITU-R M.1371-1, e.g., static information every
6 min and on request, dynamic information every 10 s on ship faster than 3 kt and 3.3 s
when changing course at 0-14 kt, etc.
