4. AIS OPERATION
The FURUNO AIS (Automatic Identification System) model FA-100 or FA-150
exchanges with other AIS-fitted ships all data and information required by the
SOLAS 1994 as amended. However, they are displayed in text form. By
interfacing the FA-100 or FA-150 with this radar, the AIS information is
graphically indicated together with the radar and ARP information.
This radar accepts position data fixed by WGS-84 geodetic datum. Set the
datum to WGS-84 on the EPFS (GPS, etc.) connected to this radar. If other type
of datum is input, the error message "DATUM" appears and the AIS feature is
inoperative.
