1. NAVTEX System
1. International NAVTEX service means the coordinated broadcast and automatic reception
on frequency 518kHz of maritime safety information (MSI) by means of narrow-band
direct-printing telegraphy using the English language.
2. National NAVTEX service means the broadcast and automatic reception of maritime safety
information by means of narrow-band direct-printing telegraphy using 490kHz or 4209.5kHz
frequencies other than 518kHz as decided languages by the Administrations concerned.
“NR-50” NAVTEX receiver designed to receive together domestic NAVTEX service (490kHz
Korean broadcasting) and international NAVTEX service (4209.5kHz).
"NR-50" NAVTEX receiver also fully complies with the operational and technical
characteristics of ITU-R recommendation M.540-2 and performance standards for ship borne
narrow-band direct-printing equipment in IMO assembly resolution A.525(13)

NAVTEX service uses a single frequency for transmissions from nominated stations within
each NAVAREA being arranged on a time-sharing basis to eliminate mutual interference as
following [Figure 1-4].
All necessary information is contained in each transmission. The power of each transmitter is
regulated so as to avoid the possibility of interference between transmitters. It may be adjusted to
provide a range of about 250 to 400 nautical miles.
Normally a dedicated NAVTEX receiver which has the ability to select messages to be printed
according to a technical code(B1, B2, B3, B4), which appears in preamble of each message and
whether or not the particular message has already been printed.
But certain essential classes of safety information such as navigational and meteorological
warnings and search and rescue information are non-reject able to ensure that ships using
NAVTEX always receive the most vital information.
According to [Figure 1-3] of the NAVTEX concept, NAVTEX coordinators exercise control of
messages transmitted by each station according to the information contained in each message
and the geographical coverage required. Thus a user may choose to accept messages, as
appropriate, either from the single transmitter which serves the sea area around his position or
from a number of transmitters.
The format of all messages is set according to [Figure 1-6]. This defines essential elements of
the message that influence the receiver to be operated.
Great care is required to avoid errors of syntax in the groups ZCZC, B1B2B3B4, and NNNN as
they will cause receivers operate incorrectly, and may well result in the loss of vital message.

Message contents
NNNN
In [Figure 1-6], B1(Transmitter identification character) is single unique letter which is allocated
to each transmitter. [Figure 1-4] and [Figure 1-5] is relevant to whole NAVAREA and the station
of NAVAREA XI. B2(Subject indicator character) is in use as following [Table 1-1].
A* Navigational Warnings
B* Meteorological Warnings
C Ice Reports
Search and Rescue information
D*

E Meteorological Forecasts
F Pilot service Messages
G DECCA Messages
H LORAN Messages
I OMEGA Messages
J SATNAV Messages
K Other Electronic Navaid Messages

L*
-Additional letter “A”
M~Y Reserved
Z QRY
Remark: The character marked with "*", can’t be rejected by the receiver.
According to [Figure 1-6] of Standard format for NAVTEX messages, each message within a
subject group is allocated a serial number, B3B4, between 01 and 99. This number should be
allocated by the relevant NAVTEX coordinator.
Certain message is allocated [the B3B4 = 00]. Use of this number should be strictly controlled
since messages carrying it will always be displayed in LCD screen, if the broadcast containing
such messages is identified to accept by the receiver. Therefore, the number "00" must only be
used for severely important messages, such as an initial distress message. Routine messages
and service messages should not be allocated to the number “00”.
All message numbers including "00", are stored in the memory always.
Each NAVTEX coastal station has 10 minutes transmission time allocated in every hours to
minimize the possibility of interference between transmitters.

钢外壳的鞭状天线。
接收天线安装时应离开船上的其他发射天线,以免发射天线的射频信号通过接收
天线损坏内部器件,接收机的抗压门限为30V。
中频天线不需要架在高的地方。如天线应尽量接地,如找不到接地的地方,应
5.2 接收机
可以利用随机提供的安装支架,将接收机安装在桌上、墙上或顶板上。
安装的地方应避免被水溅湿或被阳光直射。
建议接收机的背后应至少预留100mm,以便方便背后电缆的接线。
5.3 外置报警盒
外置报警盒用于搜救信息接收的报警指示。外置报警盒应安装在容易识别的地
方。报警盒附带10m的连接电缆。
5.4 电源连接
电缆接线说明如下:
