The Furuno NX-700A is a fully integrated, professional-grade NAVTEX receiver designed to provide mariners with crucial maritime safety information directly on the bridge. As a complete set, this system ensures you have everything required for immediate installation and operation, offering unparalleled reliability and ease of use.

This system automatically receives and prints navigational and meteorological warnings, as well as urgent safety messages, forming a critical component of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS).

Product Overview

The NX-700A system is the cornerstone for safety communication on commercial and recreational vessels. It automatically decodes and prints messages on easy-to-store thermal paper, providing a permanent, physical record of all received safety information. Its robust design and intuitive interface make it an essential and dependable tool for enhancing situational awareness and voyage planning.

Key Features & Benefits

• Fully Automatic Operation: Once set, the receiver automatically selects the correct frequency (518 kHz for international service, 490 kHz for national languages, and 4209.5 kHz for MSI in sea area A4), tunes in, and prints all relevant messages for your navigation area. No manual intervention is required.

• High-Contrast LCD Display: The Display Unit shows a clear, easy-to-read list of received messages, including message number, station ID, and content preview, allowing for quick review without needing to print.

• Integrated Thermal Printer: Provides immediate, silent hard copies of all NAVTEX messages on durable thermal paper. This creates a permanent, legal record of received safety information for the ship’s log.

• Advanced Message Management:

  • Automatic Rejection of Duplicates: The system intelligently ignores messages already received, saving paper and preventing clutter.

  • Programmable Reception Area: Users can set the unit to receive messages only from stations relevant to their current and planned voyage areas.

  • Message Storage: The unit stores a log of received messages, allowing for review directly on the display.

• Comprehensive GMDSS Compliance: Meets the requirements for the receipt of Maritime Safety Information (MSI) in GMDSS sea areas A1, A2, and A3 (when used with the 4209.5 kHz receiver).

• Rugged Marine Construction: Built to withstand the harsh marine environment, both the Display Unit and Receiver Unit are designed for reliable performance in conditions of shock, vibration, and temperature variation.

System Components (Full Set Contents)

A FULL SET typically includes all the following components necessary for a complete installation:

1. Display Unit (Main Control Head):

   • This is the user interface, featuring the backlit LCD screen and control buttons.

   • It houses the integrated thermal printer and paper roll compartment.
