The FURUNO DSC-60 is a Class A MF/HF Digital
Selective Calling (DSC) system with built-in DSC Watch
Receiver designed to fully meet the GMDSS carriage
requirements. It complies with new IMO Resolutions
A.804 and A.806 as amended by MSC.68(68) and
relevant IEC and ETSI testing standards, and ITU
Recommendations. The DSC system is one essential
element of the GMDSS, enhancing vessel navigation
safety with its automated digital communications
capabilities.
Connected with an associated MF/HF transceiver, the
DSC-60 terminal generates and receives digital selective
calls for quick and efficient establishment of distress,
urgency, safety and routine communications with other
ships and coast stations that install MF/HF DSC facilities.
The DSC-60 automatically controls the working
frequencies for radio communications and Telex. Class of
emission and other parameters are also controlled
according to the telecommand in an incoming call.
In an emergency, the DSC-60 transmits distress alert
via the MF/HF radiotelephone by simply pressing the
[DISTRESS] button. For monitoring of distress alarm,
the DSC-60 incorporates a DSC Watch Receiver which
provides continuous scanning of the six distress
frequencies (see spec). On A2 vessels, only 2187.5 kHz
is monitored.
The DSC-60 can also be used as a remote controller of
FURUNO MF/HF radiotelephone or other make which
accepts FSI (Frequency Set Information) sentence in IEC
61162-1 digital interface standards.
For upgrading of routine communications, a built-in
receiver board to scan and receive DSC ship
business/routine frequencies (1.6 MHz to 27.5 MHz) is
available as an option.
