Display Handset
1.3 Display Handset
The Display Handset allows dialling and control of the BDU and the antenna.
1.4 Distress Cradle
The Distress Cradle, which holds the Display Handset, provides activation of
alert transmission. The distress cradle may only be used for F77.
1.5 Passive Cradle
The Passive Cradle, which holds the Display Handset, provides no activation of
alert transmission. The passive cradle may only be used for F55.
1.6 Above Deck Unit – ADU
The antenna (ADU) consists of a stabilized antenna with RF-unit and an
antenna control unit, with GPS (ACU). All communication between the ADU
and BDU goes through a single coaxial cable. The antenna unit is protected by
a fibre glass radome - access to the interior of the ADU is possible through a
hatch located at the lower part of the radome.
