SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Confirm that the power supply voltage
is compatible with the voltage rating
of the equipment.
Connection to the wrong power supply
can cause fire or equipment damage to the
equipment . The voltage rating appears on
the label at the rear of the display unit.
CAUTION
WARNING
Do not work inside the
equipment unless totally
familiar with electrical
circuits.
Hazardous voltage which can
shock exists inside the equip-
ment.
Turn off the power at the
mains switchboard before
beginning the installation.
Post a sign near the switch
to indicate it should not be
turned on while the equip-
ment is being installed.
Fire, electrical shock or
serious injury can result if the
power is left on or is applied
while the equipment is being
installed.

1.1 Control Unit
1.1.1 Mounting methods
The control unit can be mounted one of four ways;
• In the hanger (overhead, bulkhead or tabletop)
• Flush mounting.
1.1.2 Mounting considerations
• Make sure the location is strong enough to support the unit under the conditions of
continued vibration and shock normally encountered on the boat
• Locate the unit where it is easily accessible and does not interfere with personnel or
operation of other equipment; for example, ship’s wheel.
1.1.3 Hanger mounting
1. Fix the hanger with tapping screws (supplied).
2. Set the control unit to the hanger and fix it with the washers and knobs.

1.2 Antenna Coupler
DANGER
DANGER
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not touch cable from the antenna coupler.
Electric shock, fire, serious injury or death can
result if the cables are touched
during transmission.
Do not touch this point.
1.2.1 Introduction
The antenna coupler is installed between the antenna and the transceiver, and tunes the
antenna to the transmitter.
The importance of a good ground system cannot be overemphasized. Without a good ground,
this unit will not work properly – if at all.
1.2.2 Ground System
A good antenna can work well only when an efficient RF ground is provided. Without a good
ground system, the full potential of this radio cannot be realized.
CAUTION
Ground the equipment.
Ungrounded equipment can
give off or receive electro-
magnetic interference or
cause electrical shock.

1-4
Grounding
Run a copper strap (supplied) between the ground terminal of the antenna coupler and the
ship’s superstructure.

1.2.3 Mounting considerations
The splashproof construction of the antenna coupler permits installation either indoors or
outdoors. When selecting a location, keep in mind the following points.
Outdoor installation
• Select a location not exposed to salt water spray. Salt water on the antenna insulator may
cause unstable operation of the coupler and in the worst case prevent transmission.
• All wires from the coupler to the antenna radiate radio energy. They should be routed away
from any grounded conductors such as mast shrouds, or fittings.
• For optimum radio energy, locate the coupler as near to the ground as possible.
• The length of the vertical portion of the antenna should be as long as possible.
• Leave enough space around the sides of the unit to permit maintenance and checking.
• Total antenna length should be 7 to 30 meters.

1-5
Indoor installation
• Locate the unit away from GPS and radio equipment to avoid mutual interference.
• The lead-in wire should be as near to the unit as possible.
• Select a place where the unit can be easily maintained, but where it will not interfere with
crew or passengers.
• Overhead mounting is available for indoor installation.
1.2.4 Anti-moisture measure (vent tube)
The vent tube (attached) prevents moisture from being drawn into the enclosure during
atmospheric pressure changes and allows trapped humid air to escape. Install it according to
coupler installation method, before mounting coupler.
Vertical or horizontal installation
Two vent holes are provided on the coupler, one at the bottom and one on the rear. The vent
tube is set to vent hole B at the factory. This location is for vertical installation of the coupler. For
horizontal installation, remove the vent tube from vent hole B and set it to vent hole A. Cover
vent hold B with seal (supplied), from inside the coupler.

1-6
1.2.5 Mounting
The antenna coupler can be fixed to the floor, bulkhead, overhead or mast. For mounting on the
bulkhead, fix the coupler with either tapping screws or M5 bolts and nuts. The resin type
antenna coupler can be mounted on the most, using two U-bolt (Type: OP05-12, Code No.:
005-923-680).

1.3 Transceiver Unit
• Bulkhead mounting only
• Select a location which provides adequate ventilation.
• The location must be clean and dry.
• The mounting location must be able to support the weight of the unit (FS-1570: 11.0 kg,
FS-2570: 14.0 kg) under the continued conditions of vibration normally encountered aboard
the vessel. If necessary, reinforce the mounting location.
• Secure the maintenance space shown in the outline drawing at the back of this manual, for
ease of maintenance and service.
Transceiver unit
Ground the transceiver unit with the cable assy (05S0479, supplied), to prevent interference.
Fasten the transceiver unit to the mounting location with six tapping screws in the order shown
below. (Asterisk-marked holes are not used.) For details, refer to outline drawings at the back of
this manual.

1.5 The Antenna
The antenna plays the most important role in radio communication. If it cannot receive or
transmit effectively because of improper installation, even the most sophisticated transceiver will
be rendered useless.
1.5.1 Types of antennas
The most commonly used are a long wire and a whip. Whatever antenna is to be used, the
antenna coupler can tune a long wire or whip whose total length is 7 to 30 meters (23.3 to 100
feet). Although a longer antenna is preferable when the radio is operated only on low
frequencies, use this size of antenna to ensure stable automatic tuning on all bands.
Long wire antenna
A long wire antenna is inexpensive and in general provides better performance than a whip
antenna, provided the vertical part is long enough.
Whip antenna
A whip antenna is easier than a long wire antenna to install and provides good overall coverage
of most SSB frequencies. A whip antenna is installed as high as possible, away from any nearby
objects.
Mounting considerations
When selecting a mounting location;
• The length of the vertical portion should be longer than 4 meters, and the slant angle of that
part should be within 10 degrees. Separate it as far as possible from:
stays, metallic objects, direction finder antenna, INMARSAT radome antenna
• Locate the insulator away from funnels and masts.
• If the antenna coupler is installed outdoors, use a lead-in insulator (Furuno type YA-150 for
FS-1570 or YA-218 for FS-2570) to make the connection. If necessary, use a high quality
antenna switch and stand-off insulator.
• If the antenna is connected directly to the coupler, use a strain insulator to prevent insulator
fatigue.

1-11
1.6 Mounting of Optional Equipment
1.6.1 AC-DC power supply unit
Mounting considerations
When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the following points.
• Select a location which provides adequate ventilation.
• The location should be clean and dry.
• The mounting location must be able to support the weight of the unit (PR-300:14.5 kg,
PR-850A: 35 kg) under the continued conditions of vibration normally encountered aboard
the vessel.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the power supply unit is placed too close to it.
Observe the following compass safe distances to prevent disturbance to the magnetic
compass: For PR-300, standard: 0.90 m, steering: 0.70 m, for PR-850A, standard: 1.00 m,
steering: 0.70 m.
Mounting
Refer to the outline drawings at the back of this manual.
1.6.2 Preamp unit FAX-5
The body of preamp unit can be mounted two ways:
1. The bottom of the preamp unit is designed to accept a threaded extension mast of 1 inch
diameter. The pitch of the thread should be 14 threads per inch. To prevent undue flexing of
the mast in heavy winds, the mast should not be longer than 5 feet (1.5 m).
2. The side of the preamp unit has a molded channel so that it may be mounted directly to a
stub mast with two stainless steel hose clamps. Hose clamps must be arranged locally.
Screw the 2.6 m whip antenna (option) tightly onto the preamp unit and waterproof the junction
and other exposed metallic parts with sealing compound (silicone rubber, putty, etc.)
Note that a wire antenna of 2 to 3 meters length may be used instead of the whip antenna.
Note: The preamp unit requires 9 VDC power. See paragraph 3.5 for how to provide power to
the preamp unit.
