PARTS LIST
This equipment contains complex modules in which fault diagnosis and repair down to
component level are not practical (IMO A.694(17)/8.3.1). Only some discrete components
are used. FURUNO Electric Co., Ltd. believes identifying these components is of no value
for shipboard maintenance; therefore, they are not listed in the manual. Major modules can
be located on the parts location photos on the next page.
