The FA-170 supports bridge teams by exchanging vessel identity and movement information over marine VHF. Buyers sourcing an AIS replacement often need more than a matching front panel: they need the correct transponder, display, antenna arrangement, interfaces and installation documentation. This listing therefore identifies the photographed equipment and the documented service assemblies separately, helping purchasers prepare a clear enquiry.
SM MARINE SERVICE™ can supply all types of marine AIS equipment, new or old, including used and refurbished equipment. Send your requirement for any marine AIS system, whether for an existing vessel, a replacement installation or spare-parts sourcing. The exact unit, condition, included accessories and availability will be confirmed for each enquiry.
AIS means Automatic Identification System. A Class A AIS transponder broadcasts vessel information and receives reports from other AIS stations within VHF coverage. A bridge operator can use this information alongside radar, visual lookout and other navigational inputs to understand nearby traffic. Reception depends on antenna placement, radio conditions and the information transmitted by other stations; AIS does not show every object or replace safe navigational practice.
The FA-170 system separates the operating display from the main transponder. Position and movement information can be combined with programmed vessel details and voyage-related information. Correct vessel identity, antenna offsets and sensor connections are essential when commissioning a replacement unit.
Functions depend on the installed hardware, software and configuration. The photographed unit is an existing installation-era set; current production approvals or later software features must not be assumed to apply to it. Buyers should state their flag, class and installation requirements before ordering.

The current rating above is transcribed from the supplied nameplate, rather than presented as a measured consumption figure. Cable sizing, circuit protection, earthing and antenna installation must follow the applicable installation instructions. Antenna type and the complete cable schedule should be checked from clear labels before a supply contract is finalised.
FURUNO's FA-170 parts-location documentation identifies the following board types. They are reference identifiers for sourcing enquiries, not confirmation that an individual board is available or that the photographed enclosure has been opened and inspected. Match the existing PCB label, revision and equipment configuration before ordering.
The MAIN board is documented in monitor unit FA-1702. It is the principal monitor electronics assembly. Quote the complete board designation and revision when seeking a display-side replacement.
The C-IF assembly is the documented monitor interface board. Supply enquiries should identify the monitor, its connectors and the observed fault rather than assuming every display problem requires this PCB.
This transponder board is identified as TRX-PWR in the parts list. It belongs to the transceiver/power assembly group. Diagnosis and any replacement require suitable marine electronics service procedures.
The T-IF board is located in the transponder and serves its interface assembly role. External wiring, sensor data and connector condition should be checked before condemning an interface board.
The GPS board belongs to the transponder's positioning subsystem. A positioning problem also requires checking antenna condition, cable continuity, connectors and reception conditions.
R-MOD is a documented radio module board in the transponder. Preserve the exact assembly identification in a sourcing request. RF-related faults require a qualified technician and appropriate test equipment.
The system documentation identifies the FA-1701 transponder and FA-1702 monitor. The user photographs show a separate display, transponder and GPS antenna with attached cabling. A VHF antenna, installation consumables, pilot connection accessories and external sensors should not be assumed to be included merely because they are required in a working installation. Ask for an itemised quotation and photographs of each supplied component.
The FA-170 is intended for marine AIS service on suitable vessels, including commercial ships and workboats. Typical procurement needs include replacing an existing transponder, restoring a bridge display or sourcing a compatible board. Shipyards, vessel managers and service companies should review the vessel's approved arrangement before selecting replacement hardware. This marine radio equipment should not be treated as a general industrial tracking device.
For a blank display, begin with the supply, protective devices, brightness setting and external connections. For missing targets, assess the VHF antenna path and local reception conditions. When position or movement information is missing, inspect the appropriate sensor data path and GPS antenna installation. An incorrect vessel identity or voyage entry requires configuration review by authorised personnel.
Record the exact on-screen message, circumstances and recent changes before requesting assistance. Do not operate a transmitter with a known defective antenna connection or open powered equipment. Avoid changing protected identity settings or disconnecting bridge data circuits during navigation without the responsible officer's approval. A photograph of a startup screen is not a full operational test report.
Keep the display clean using a soft cloth and protect connectors from salt contamination. Inspect accessible cables, antenna mountings and earthing connections during planned maintenance. Review voyage entries and sensor status as part of the vessel's operating procedures. Keep a record of equipment identities, software versions and service history so future replacement parts can be matched accurately. Internal servicing and RF checks belong with qualified personnel.
Contact SM MARINE SERVICE™ for complete marine AIS sets, displays, transponder units, antennas, cables and PCB sourcing. Include clear nameplate photographs, the full part number, PCB revision, connector photographs and a brief fault description. Availability, condition, compatibility and any testing documentation are confirmed individually. No warranty period, certification, immediate stock quantity or delivery deadline is implied by this listing.
Maintaining a vessel's established bridge arrangement can simplify replacement planning when compatible equipment is available. A matching system may help retain familiar operator controls and existing installation arrangements, subject to technical review. The purchasing decision should consider serviceability, condition, documentation and applicable vessel requirements rather than appearance alone.
