2.MAINTENANCE

WARNING
Do not open the equipment except to replace paper.
Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment.
2.1 Cleaning
Dust and dirt may be removed from the main unit with a soft cloth. For stubborn dirt, water diluted mild detergent may be used. DO NOT use chemical-based cleaners to clean the cabinet or control panel, as they can remove paint and markings.
Random lines or dots appear on the recording when the thermal head is dirty. Clean the thermal head as shown in the procedure below, using the head cleaning sheet (#2000, supplied) and paper sensor jig, an ordinary white piece of paper cut and folded to the dimensions shown below.

*Mountain fold
Mountain fold* Mountain fold*

2. MAINTENANCE
- Turn on the power.
- Press the 0 key until the sheet feeds out 5-15 cm.
- Set the paper release lever downward and remove the head cleaning sheet and paper sensor jig.
- Re-set the roll paper, paper compartment cover and paper cutter.

Note: Do not use the head cleaning sheet more than once per cleaning session and do not use a sheet whose grade is coarser than #2000. A coarser grade will damage the thermal head.
If the recording is still dirty
Turn off the power. Moisten a cotton swab with ethyl alcohol and insert between the thermal head and rubber roller, until about 4 mm of the swab is inserted. Move the swab to clean. USE ONLY ethyl alcohol to clean.
Use only a slight amount of ethyl alcohol. Excessive amount may dissolve corrosive components in printing chaff, which can damage the thermal head. Further, be sure the alcohol has dried completely before turning on the power.
- Open the paper cutter by loosening its two screws. Detach it together with the paper compartment cover. Put the paper feed lever in the downward position. See Figure 1.

3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Main Unit
The main unit may be mounted on a tabletop or a bulkhead, using 5×25 self-tapping screws (supplied).
When choosing a mounting location, consider the following points:
- It is essential that the mounting surface is flat, otherwise blurred recordings may result, as in the example below. If it is necessary to level the unit, insert flat washer (supplied) between unit and mounting surface at appropriate location(s).

3. INSTALLATION
3.2 Antenna
The performance of the facsimile receiver is directly related to the antenna installation. In general, the antenna should be installed as high as possible on the vessel, free from the influence of nearby antennas, rigging and masts. Be sure to locate the antenna well away from TX antennas and noise generating equipment. Pay particular attention to the antennas of MF and HF radio equipment - they can damage the facsimile receiver through induction. (For better protection against induction, use the preamp unit.)
The FAX-408 can use the following antennas:
- Preamp unit FAX-5 (optional supply) + 2.6 m whip antenna (optional supply)
- Whip antenna (6 m, optional supply)
- Wire antenna (local supply)
3.2.1 General antenna connection
Connect the antenna to the facsimile receiver as shown below.

Preamp Not Used
- INSTALLATION
3.2.2 Whip or wire antenna
- Either a long wire or whip antenna may be used. A wire antenna should be 10 meters or longer including the vertical section. A whip antenna should be 6 meters long. Generally a whip antenna is suitable for reception over 6 MHz and wire antenna is suitable for reception under 6 MHz.
- The antenna can be shared with other receivers; use an antenna switch.
- If, when using a wire antenna, sensitivity is low, install the preamp unit (option).
3.2.3 Installation of optional preamp unit (FAX-5)
Small boats may not afford the space to install a long wire antenna. In this case it is recommended to install the preamp unit with 2.6 meter whip antenna. The preamp unit can be installed two ways:
- The base of the preamp unit is designed to accept a threaded extension of one-inch diameter. The pitch of the thread should be 14 threads per inch. The mast itself should be no longer than 1.5 meters to prevent flexing in heavy winds.
- Attach the preamp unit to a mounting post with stainless steel hose clamps (option).
Mounting
- Fix the preamp unit to the mounting location.
- Screw the whip antenna onto the preamp unit.
- If the mast is metallic, run a ground wire (local supply) between the mast and the ground terminal on the preamp unit.
- Waterproof the junction and other exposed metallic parts

- INSTALLATION
3.3 Wiring
See the diagram on page S-1 for detailed wiring information.
3.3.1 Power, ground
Battery
Connect black wire to "-" (negative) and red wire to "+" (positive).

Ground
Run the ground wire (supplied) between the GND terminal at the rear of the main unit and ship's superstructure. Do not share ground with other equipment.
3.3.2 External equipment
External equipment, such as a receiver, are connected to the terminal at the rear of the main unit.
How to connect wiring to terminal

3. INSTALLATION
External receiver connection
An external receiver may be used in place of the internal receiver. In this case, the receiver should have a local oscillator with very good frequency stability. Connect the external receiver to the EXT AF IN terminal at the rear of the set. This terminal operates against an input of greater than 50 mV. Excessive input is protected with a protective circuit. However, if direct current is used, input should be passed through a non-polarized capacitor of about 1 F.
