SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
Do not work inside the
equipment unless totally
familiar with electrical
circuits.
Hazardous voltage which
will cause death or serious
injury exists at the
following locations:
• Transceiver unit
• Antenna and antenna
coupler (both at TX)
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE
is present at these points.
ANTENNA COUPLER
WARNING
Turn off the power at the
mains switchboard before
beginning at installation.
Post a sign near the switch
to indicate it should not be
turned on while the
equipment is being
installed.
Fire, electrical shock or
serious injury can result if the
power is left on or is applied
while the equipment is being
installed.
Use only the supplied cables.
Use of other cables can result in fire or
serious equipment damage.
Use the correct fuse.
Use of wrong fuse can cause fire.
CAUTION
Ground the equipment to
prevent electrical shock and
mutual interference.
When using a copper plate for ground
be careful of its edges.
Edges can cut fingers.
If the distress alert is accidentally
transmitted, transmit appropriate
message to nearest coast station to
cancel the distress alert.

1. Rack Console chassis (RC-1500-1T)
General
The RC-1500 series Radio Console comes in five models: RC-1500-
1T-150/250, RC-1500-1T-400/800, RC-1500-1T-2P, and RC-1500-
1T-TOKU.

The type and number of components incorporated differs from model

to model, however each model contains an Inmarsat-C mobile earth
station, NBDP terminal, DSC terminal, DSC watch receiver, and SSB
radiotelephone.

Below are the distinguishing characteristics of each model.

RC-1500-1T-150/250: Incorporates the FS-1562-15/1562-25 SSB

radiotelephone.

RC-1500-1T-400/800: Incorporates the FS-5000/8000 SSB radiotele-

phone.

RC-1500-1T-2P: Russian model.

RC-1500-2T: Incorporates the FM-8500 VHF radiotelephone.

RC-1500-1T-TOKU: Special order model.

Mounting considerations (tabletop mount)

When selecting a mounting location;

• Make sure the location is strong enough to support the unit (about
100 kg) under the conditions of continued vibration and shock
normally encountered on the vessel. Where necessary, reinforce
the mounting location by lining block or doubling plate.
• Locate the unit where it is easily accessible and does not interfere
with personnel or operation of other equipment; for example,
ship’s wheel.
• Select a location where temperature and humidity are moderate
and stable.

Rack consaole chassis (Top View) Side view

Before mounting the unit, determine location of cable gland. The in-
terconnection cable should be run though either the rear or bottom
side of the rack console chassis. See the outline drawing attached for
further details.

Procedure
1. Place the rack console chassis on the tabletop.
2. Mount three hangers for the DSC-6, AA-50 and FS-1562 as shown
above.
3. Set the DSC-6, AA-50 and FS-1562 (only 150W type or 250W
type) to the hangers with knobs. Set the FM-8500 to the hanger
with knobs (only RC-1500-2T).
4. Mount the two printers PP-510 and printer selector to the top of
the console chassis.
5. Place the NBDP and FS-5000 on the tabletop (only 400W type).
6. Place the Inmarsat C outside of rack console.

Mounting considerations
The unit can be mounted almost anywhere provided the location sat-
isfies the following requirements.

• Vibration-free location
• Well-ventilated area
• Free of water splash
• Leave enough space around the sides of the unit to permit main-
tenance and checking.
• The mounting location must be able to support the weight of the
unit (PR-850A: 35 kg, PR-300: 14.5 kg, BC-6158/6200: 28 kg,
S-5300A/8300A: 85/110 kg) under the condition of continued
vibration normally encountered aboard the vessel.

Fasten the S-8300A to the mounting location by fixing four fixing

screws (φ15) at the bottom and two fixing screws (φ15) at the top.

The interconnection cable between the S-8300A and the rack console
chassis should be run through either the bottom or rear side of the S-
8300A as shown above.
