Black Box Marine VHF Radiotelephone with Class D DSC, AIS Receiver, and Simplified Loud Hailer
The Ultimate 5-In-1 Tool of VHF Radios
The FM4850 is a new marine Black Box VHF
radiotelephone with built-in Class D DSC, AIS Receiver, and Simplified
Loud Hailer with intercom. Its compact housing enables it to be
installed in a variety of craft, even vessels where space is limited,
such as center-console boats.The FM4850 handset shares a common
appearance with other Furuno equipment, such as NavNet TZtouch2,
NavPilot 711C, and the FI70 Instrument series, offering an integrated
appearance to any helm. Its built-in
AIS Receiver can be used to overlay AIS targets with networked GPS
Plotters or MFD's, such as NavNet TZtouch, NavNet TZtouch2, or
GP1871F/GP1971F combo units.
Built-In DSC and AIS
An external GPS antenna can be connected to
the FM4850, and it can share its own GPS, DSC and AIS information via
NMEA0183 or NMEA2000. When connected via NMEA2000 to any NavNet TZtouch2
MFD, DSC calling can be initiated directly from the TZtouch2 MFD by
simply tapping on the AIS/DSC target and selecting [DSC Call].
Additionally, when MOB (Man Overboard) is activated on a TZtouch2 MFD,
the FM4850 enters a special mode where you can initiate a distress call
by simply pushing the rotary knob on the handset.
Loud Hailer, Intercom, and Listen Back Features
The unit can operate as a simplified Loud
Hailer with intercom, featuring 8 patterns of alert sounds. Loud Hailer,
Fog Horn and Warning Signal features are all available, enhancing
onboard safety and communications while navigating in the dark or fog.
When connected with the second-station handset, intercom communications
are available, allowing communications between the two devices.
Additionally, the horn speaker can be used to collect external sounds
and transmit them through the built-in speaker with a function called
Listen Back. In this way, a person on the deck can easily communicate
with the bridge, a particularly useful feature for a variety of fishing
vessels and workboats. The Listen Back function can also be an effective
tool on sport fishing vessels, allowing the horn speaker to collect the
sound from fishing rods and lines when you get a strike.
