The FA-30 is a compact and cost effective AIS Receiver that is designed specifically
for small commercial, leisure and fishing boats.
Connected to a VHF antenna it receives AIS data from AIS-equipped vessels, shore
stations and navigational aids (AIS-equipped buoys, etc.). Vessel movement is plotted
on a display connected to the LAN port. Data includes identity (name, call sign and
MMSI), position, speed, heading, etc. of AIS-equipped vessels within VHF range.

Mounting considerations, mounting
The FA-30 can be mounted on a desktop, deck or on a bulkhead. When selecting a
mounting location, keep the following points in mind:
• The temperature and humidity should be moderate and stable.
• Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes and vents.
• The mounting location should be well ventilated.
• Mount the unit where shock and vibration are minimal.
• Keep the unit away from electromagnetic field-generating equipment such as
motors and generators.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the FA-30 is placed too close to it. Observe
the compass safe distances noted in the safety instructions to prevent disturbance
to the magnetic compass.
• Fix the unit to the mounting location with 4x20 self-tapping screws (supplied).
