INTRODUCTION

FURUNO Electric Company thanks you for selecting the FS-1562 MF/HF SSB Radiotelephone. We are confident you will discover why FURUNO has become synonymous with quality and reliability. To get maximum performance from your unit, please carefully read and follow the recommended procedures for operation and maintenance.

The FS-1562 is an all-purpose radiotelephone system especially designed for marine mobile communication in the frequency range 1.6 to 27.5 MHz. All ITU channels are preprogrammed. In addition, TX/RX frequencies can be preprogrammed into a E2 PROM having a capacity of 200 frequency pairs.

There are two types of the FS-1562: FS-1562-15 (150 Wpep) and FS-1562-25 (250 Wpep), where pep is peak envelope power, the unit for addressing an output power in a Single Sideband (SSB) transmitter.

•Installation information is contained in the installation manual.

•System initialization after installation is described in the service manual.

Features

•GMDSS operation: DSC and NBDP connections

•2182 key provides for immediate selection of 2182 kHz (at FULL power automatically)

•Scan/Sweep receiving function

•PROM stores all ITU SSB and TELEX frequencies

•Dummy load (in the Antenna Coupler) permits checking of transmitter

•Effective noise blanker cancels pulse noise

•Advanced “voice” detecting type squelch circuit filters out noise

•Remote station (RB-500) optionally available

•System diagnostics program

•The AC FAIL Board (option) functions to reduce Tx power automatically when AC power fails (only FS-1562-25).

Notes

1.Use a battery having sufficient capacity (more than 120 AH for 150 W set, 200 AH for 250 W set). Otherwise, battery cannot provide sufficient transmission power.

2.Handle the microphone carefully. Heat, humidity and shock will affect performance.

3.Do not adjust the potentiometers inside the unit. Improper adjustment may cause serious damage.
