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

1. 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

1. Fix the preamp unit to the mounting location.
2. Screw the whip antenna onto the preamp unit.
3. If the mast is metallic, run a ground wire (local supply) between the mast and the ground terminal on the preamp unit.
4. Waterproof the junction and other exposed metallic parts

1. 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.

3.3.3 Whip or wire antenna

If the preamp unit is not used, a matching box is required. Connect a feeder line between the antenna and matching box. Attach a connector to the coaxial cable and connect it between the receiver and the antenna. Use coaxial cable RG-10/UY or RG-12/UY.

How to attach M-connector

1. Remove sheath by 30 mm.
2. Make the length of the conductor 23 mm. Expose braided shield by 5 mm.
3. Insert coupling ring onto cable.
4. Insert plug assembly onto cable.
5. Solder braided shield and plug assy. through hole in plug assy.

6. Tighten coupling ring to plug assy.

7. INSTALLATION

3.3.4 Setting of SW S1 on RCV board (when preamp unit is used)

If the preamp unit is installed, turn on SW S1 on the RCV board in the facsimile receiver to power the preamp unit.

1. Unfasten two screws marked with arrows in the figure below to detach the paper cutter and the paper compartment cover. Unfasten four screws to remove the main unit cover.

1. Unfasten four screws marked with arrows and pull the LCD assy. forward. Use a plastic-bladed screwdriver to change position of S1 to ON. Reassemble the unit.
