NAVTEX means the system for the broadcast and automatic reception of marine safety information by means of narrow-band direct printing telegraphy. NAVTEX is a component of IHO/IMO world-wide navigational warning service (WWNWS) defini by IMO Assembly resolution A.419 (XI), and NAVTEX has been in- cluded as an element of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) which will be implemented from Ist FEB. 1992, In the GMDSS, NAVTEX receiving capability will become part of the mandatory equip- ment which is required to be carried in certain vessels under the provision of the revised chapter IV of the 1974 SOLAS convention from Ist AUG. 1993. 1.2 OUTLINE OF THE SYSTEM 12.1 Broadcasts ‘The navigational and meteorological warnings, Search and Rescue (SAR) and the other informations are collected to the NAVTEX coast station and are broadcasted in English at the 518 kHz frequency all over the world. The broadcasting time for one broadcast is less than 10 minutes. Usually for one station, the broadcasting time is allotted for 4-hour inter- vals. (Refer to Figs. 1, 2 and 3 in IMO NAVTEX MANUAL.) 12.2 Message format ZCZC ByB2BsBy (TIME OF ORIGIN) SERIES IDENTITY +CONSECUTIVE NUMBER MESSAGE TEXT NNNNZCZC: Defines the end of the phasing period B,B,ByBx: Message ID (preamble) By, (Transmitter identity): Letters from A to Z to identify the communication range of the transmitting station.

These number starts from 01 exclud- ing the special case where the serial number 00 is used. B;B,=00 is used to print out the message compulsorily even if the station or of a kind of message is rejected from objects of reception at the receiver side. The receiver should receive and print out this message all the time when it receives this message. NNNN: End of the message PRT TrOMBSOR Rs 12.3 Receiver ‘The receiver is composed of the 518 kHz receiver, microprocessor and printer, The received message are stored in the message memory, edited and sent out to the printer according to the print format. 124 Print control of the receiver a) Operator can set up the unit so as to automatically reject information of the unnecessary areas for the ship's navigation from objects of printing by using the transmitter identifica- tion character B,. b) Operator can set the unit so as to prokibit printing of the message which is not required for the ship, excluding the case where the subject indication characters are A, B and D, by using the subject indication characters By. ©) The message ID (ByB2B3B4) of the message received at the character error ratio (CER) of 4% or less is stored in the memory, and even if the message with the same ID is received again within 72 hours, it is not printed out. ‘The store capacity of message IDs is 128. If over, the oldest ID is erased. Thus, the message which has the same message ID as the one of the erased message ID will be printed out, even if within 72 hours. The stored message ID can be checked by pressing the [STATE] key.13 14 FEATURES ‘The NCR-300A NAVTEX receiver has the following features: « fully meets CCIR Recommendation 540-1, 476-3 and 625 and IMO Performance Star- ards. compact, light weight design full automated opereation various operation functions high data processing ability using multiprocessor system legible print-out Message ID being received is displayed on the LCD simultaneously with the message reception. four kinds of audible alarms; paper out, when received message of category A, B, D, or L character error rate (CER) is printed out at the end of the message in a form of percents. can be used as a monitoring receiver for the coastal station using coastal station mode available displaying the reason of non-print-out message during receiving available printing out the status while receiving message and vice-versa available receiving message while printing out the formerly received message available programming while receiving message and vice-versa available storing 128 message IDs for 72 hours stored message IDs can be printed out, displayed and erased we eccce eee cccce EQUIPMENT SUPPLIED ‘The NCR-300A is normally supplied with the items listed in Table 1-1.

It should not be placed under hori- zontal wire antennas such as HIF or MF communications antennas. The active antenna should be mounted away from stacks to keep heat, smoke and contaminating gases. The antenna should be mounted vertically and in a location that is accessible for servic- ing. The active antenna should be separated as much as possible from the vessel's other antennas. In particular, try to obtain as much separation as possible from the HF and MF transmitting antennas to avoid damage to the receiver and loss of NAVTEX signal during communication transmissions. Also avoid placing the active antenna too close to other receiving antennas which may reradiate interference, such as radar or TV antennas. Slow and/or incorrect cycle selection is sometimes caused by the antenna being mounted too close to metal objects. If there are several possible antenna locations, each can be evaluated by operating the receiver with the antenna placed temporarily in each location, and hearing receiving condition. The location with low noise and high signal level is the best location. ‘SHADED AREA SHOWS POOR LOCATION ‘Typical Antenna Location — 29 —1) To connect 50 antenna COAXIAL CABLE Fig. 11 2) To connect the dedicated active antenna, NAW-300A 3) To connect the wire antenna etc. \ | = EARTH Fig. 13 3.3.3 BK (Key) ‘This terminal is required the voltage of 12 to 24 volts DC to terminal BK for making the relay contacts of the antenna input circuit off when it is required as a keying control to avoid heavy RF power inducing to the input circuit of main unit, ‘The necessary currents for driving the relay circuit is approximately 11 mA or 23 mA under the voltage of 12 volts or 24 volts respectively.
