The RC1815 is a pre-wired GMDSS Console that meets all of the carriage requirements for ships navigating in Sea Area A1/A2/A3. This simple and reliable package consists of the FM8500 DSC-VHF/FM Radiotelephone, FS1570 MF/HF Radiotelephone/DSC Watch Receiver/Telex, IB58/3 Terminal Unit and PP510 Printer. Because the RC1815 comes as a pre-wired kit, it offers a flexible and space-saving solution which helps to minimize installation time on both existing vessels and new builds.
FM8500 - DSC-VHF/FM Marine Radiotelephone
The Furuno FM-8500 is a cost-effective all-in-one marine VHF radio system consisting of a 25 W VHF radiotelephone, a DSC modem and a CH 70 Watch Receiver. It complies with GMDSS carriage requirements for safety and general communications.
The FM-8500 offers simplex/semi-duplex voice communications on all ITU channels in the 156-174 MHz VHF band. Other standard features are Dual Watch and Multiple Watch functions which allow a watch on CH 16 and another selected frequency.
Full Class A DSC functions are provided for distress alert transmission and reception, as well as the general call formats: Individual Telephone, All Ships, Group and Area Call. Distress alert can be readily transmitted, but a dual action switch is provided to prevent accidental activation.
The FM-8500 maintains a continual watch on CH 70 even while you are using another VHF channel. Upon receiving an incoming DSC message the FM-8500 gives aural and visual alarms.
The compact cabinet allows a flexible and space-saving installation on a navigation console or at the conning position.
FS1570 - MF/HF Radiotelephone/DSC Watch Receiver/Telex (150W)
The FS1570 is a MF/HF radiotelephone that is fully capable of GMDSS operations. In addition to standard radio operation, it can operate as DSC (Digital Selective Call) on general communications and as a DSC Watch Receiver on all distress and safety frequencies in MF and HF bands. A telex modem (NBDP) accompanies the transceiver unit for general message transfer and distress message/maritime safety information handling, satisfying the carriage requirements for GMDSS A3-A4 sea areas.

The FS1570 maintains a continuous watch on a distress call, even while you are exchanging normal voice messages. The DSC channels can be individually set or all selected channels can be automatically scanned. When a DSC message is received, the radiotelephone gives audible and visual alarms. It works on all authorized transmit frequencies between 1.6 and 27.5 MHz. Receiver frequencies are selectable between 100kHz and 30Mhz in 10Hz steps. The transmit and receive frequencies can be selected separately or in pair. The digital frequency synthesizer provides high frequency stability for DSC and NBDP as well as telephony operation.
IB583 Terminal
The IB583 is a 10.4" color LCD display for use with RC1800 series GMDSS consoles. The IB583 displays messages at 72 characters/line with 25 lines/screen. File management, text editor and utility programs ensure easy operation. The terminal also comes with a disk drive.
INMARSAT-C MES FELCOM 15
The Inmarsat-C system provides a quality two-way telex and data link between ships and other parties at sea or on land. The Felcom 15 provides all functions and services of the Inmarsat-C system: EGC (safety NET/FleetNET), distress message handling, two-way digital store-and-forward messaging including polling, data reporting, E-mail, etc.
Distress alerts are initiated by the remote distress alert unit. The distress message including own ship's position is easily edited. The distress alert button is incorporated in the display for emergencies. Data files and utility programs on floppy disks are easily loaded into the processor through the front loading disk drive in the display unit.
