A Class-A Universal Automatic Identification System (UAIS)
transponder, the FA-150 is designed to improve navigation
safety by observing other AIS equipped ships. The FA-150
complies with relevant international regulations and
standards (e.g., IMO, ITU-R, IEC) as well as national class
requirements.
The FA-150 offers real-time information exchange of your
own ships data and other AIS-equipped ships or coastal
stations within VHF coverage. Information that is exchanged
includes static, dynamic, voyage related data, as well as
short safety-related messages.
The FA-150 consists of a GPS antenna, a transponder unit,
a display unit and other associated equipment. The internal
GPS receiver provides UTC reference for system
synchronization. It also gives position, COG and SOG if no
external positioning equipment is connected. There are two
types of configurations for the antenna unit: GPS and VHF
combined and separate antennas. Both types of GPS
antennas feature a special interference shield that allows
superior performance when they are in an area of influence
by equipment such as radar and satellite phones.
An exceptionally compact GPS antenna is also available in
the separate configuration.
The FA-150 can be interfaced with Radar and ECDIS,
allowing AIS information to be displayed on them.
No additional interface units are required for connection to
the FURUNO radar or ECDIS. Use of the WAGO connectors
simplifies installation and connection.

fROT display at tip of COG/SOG vector allows navigators to
predict course changes of other vessels
AIS COG/SOG vector changes its length with speed and
a ROT mark is viewable at the COG/SOG vector tip when
a target ship is equipped with a FURUNO satellite
compass SC-50/110 or other compatible equipment.
