Wiring Considerations; Network And Sensor Considerations - Furuno FMD3100 Installation Manual

2. WIRING

Wiring considerations

• USB cable lengths should be within 5 m, with or without the USB extension cable. Full
function cannot be guaranteed if the overall USB length exceeds 5 m.
• The PCU-3000 is not compatible with the USB 3.0 equipments.
• USB cables should be secured using the clamp highlighted in the figure below.
• LAN cable lengths between units should be within 50 m.
• The DVI-D port outputs FULL HD resolution. Make sure the cables connected to the
DVI-D port are 5 m or less.
• If extension or division of the DVI or ERGB cables is required, use the dividers listed
below:
• DVI cable divider: D8013F (maker: IMAGENICS)
• RGB divider: CIF-12H, DD-106 or D8013F (maker: IMAGENICS)
• Ensure all grounding wires are connected between grounding terminals on each
equipment and ship earth.
• If a UPS (user supply) is connected to this equipment, ensure the grounding lamp
does not light up.
• Use the following LAN cables for the network if they are available locally.
• Sensor Network: Cat5 or better.
• Gateway Network: Cat5e or better.
• If LAN cables are not available locally, use the optional LAN cables as below:
• Sensor network - FR-FTPC-CY (Cat5 equivalent).
• Gateway network - DTI-C5E350 VCV (Cat5e equivalent).
• ECDIS control unit RCU-024 and RCU-026 are not compatible with this equipment.
• When connecting this equipment to a VR-3000/S, use the DVI-I port. The DVI-I port
outputs FULL HD resolution and requires a synchronizer to convert the output to
UXGA.
• When connecting a VDR device via LAN, connect the VDR device to the LAN2 port.

Network and sensor considerations

• For Sensor network construction, use the optional Switching Hub HUB-100.
• For Gateway network construction use the optional Intelligent Hub HUB-3000.
• Do not connect the vessel's on-board LAN to either of the above networks. Also,
commercial PCs cannot be connected to the gateway network, other than for
maintenance.
• Connect to other ECDIS units and radars (FEA-2xx7 or FAR-2xx7 series radars)
using the gateway network.
• When constructing a network with two or more FAR-2xx7 radars, an FMD-3x00 unit
and using a HUB-3000, the HUB-3000 querier must be configured. To configure the
querier, consult with a Furuno engineer.
• The FMD-3100 processor unit does not support IGMP snooping or CGMP enabled
switch.
• The FMD-3100 does not have a router or repeater hub function.
• The Switching Hub HUB-100 is optionally available for connection to the FMD-3100.
• The Switching HUB HUB-100 does not support IGMP snooping or GCMP enabled
switch.
• When you use IEC61162-450 compatible sensors, set [Transmission Group] on the
[Common Installation Settings] menu. Only service technicians can access the
[Common Installation Settings] menu. Contact your FURUNO dealer to set it.
