AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
Air Conditioning Systems are installed on the RB-M to provide controlled operating and passenger environments to meet mission requirements. The Air ConditioningSystem consists of the following components:
1. Air Conditioning Unit.
There are two self-contained 16,000 BTU A/C Units on the RB-M located
In the Pilothouse and Survivors’ Compartment. Each unit has HCFC R-22
Refrigerant and has four main components:
1. Blower. 2. Evaporator. 3. Compressor. 4. Condenser.
2. Air Conditioning Unit Controller.
ON/OFF Button: starts and stops the A/C Unit.
Digital Display: indicates room temperature when the system is on. The
display is blank when the system is off.
UP Button: indicates the current temperature set-point on the digital
display and increases the temperature set-point.
DOWN Button: indicates the current temperature set-point on the
digital display and decreases the temperature set-point.
FAN Button: changes the fan mode between auto and manual and
selects the fan speed when in manual mode.
MODE Button: selects the operating mode of the A/C Unit.
FAN Speed Indicators: indicates the selection of fan speed (Auto or
Manual (High, Medium, Low)).
MODE Indicators: indicates the operating mode of the A/C Unit (Auto,
Cool Heat, Moisture Control).
3. Air Conditioning Unit Condensate Drain.
Each A/C Unit has a condensate drain line to remove condensate that is
produced during unit operation. The Pilothouse A/C Unit condensate gravity
drains directly overboard through a hose and check valve on the port side
at Frame 7. The Survivors’ Compartment A/C Unit condensate gravity
drains directly to a condensate sump located in the bilge of the Survivors’
Compartment next to the bilge pump.The Survivors’ Compartment HVAC Condensate Sump Pump is a self contained unit that contains an electric pump and float switch. When the sump level actives the float switch, condensate is pumped directly overboard
through a hose and check valve on the starboard side at Frame 13.
4. Pump Relay Panel.
The Pump Relay Panel is located in the overhead of the Auxiliary Machinery
Compartment port side at Frame 8. The Pump Relay Panel is a two-unit solid
state relay that controls the HVAC Raw Water Pump operation to coincide
with A/C Unit operation. When one of the A/C Units is in operation, the
Pump Relay Panel energizes the HVAC Raw Water Pump to provide cooling
water to the A/C Unit.
FURUNO CHART PLOTTER
Information transferring from 1 to any of the 2 displays.
Primary Crew Display Host #1(We keep the command promulgated waypoints in this unit. Waypoints and
routes are never received to this unit. Therefore never erasing the “master” waypoints)
Coxswain Display Host #2
Navigators Display Host #3
Data can be transferred from any one unit to any other unit. By following these steps:
- In chart plotter mode
- Press Menu
- Press soft key System Configuration
- Press soft key Data Transfer
- Press soft key Receive Via network
- Identify from which plotter the information will be received from
- Determine what info needs to be transferred. Tracks/marks or Waypoints/ routes.
- Press enter knob to confirm.
NOTE: When waypoints and/or routes are received from another unit, all current routes and waypoints in the receiving
unit will be overwritten and lost.
INTERCEPTERS/ TRIM TABS
The interceptor trim tabs are integrated with the steering system to improve performance in turns. Interceptor trim tabs are located directly below each water jet. The interceptor trim tab is operated by a hydraulic cylinder and will control the attitude of the boat only when underway at speed. A trim tab in the lowered position creates lift on the stern of the boat. Lowering a trim tab on one side will create lift on the corresponding side and therefore correct a list. Lowering both trim tabs will create lift evenly on the stern and assist in reducing bow rise induced from wave action. The position of each trim tab is indicated by independent sending units.
The Interceptor Trim/roll Joystick Controls are located in the Pilothouse on the left armrest of the Coxswain and Navigator Seats.
They can be used in auto mode or in a manual mode simply by adjusting the knob. It can be put back into auto mode by raising the interceptors all the way up again or by reducing the RPM’s below 1350.

Basic System Functionality
System Switch Configuration
The Crew Connection Point is configurable via the key pad located on the top of the unit. The
system default is configured so that only the Commander can transmit (TX) and receive (RX)
radio traffic.
Intercommunications with Crew Members
The Commander and any Crew Member can continuously communicate between each other.
Activate the microphone on a crew member's headwear for intercommunication with other
crew members by moving the headwear PTT switch to the CENTER position, as shown in
Figure 5–1
Intercommunication may also be initiated by pressing the Intercom-PTT button on the CCP.
FIGURE 5–1. Microphone Function Switch Description
Radio Transmit and Receive Transmission
The Commander can continuously monitor radio traffic of all radios connected to the RIIC. To
activate the microphone on the Commander's headwear to transmit over a particular radio, the
commander selects that radio using the key-pad switches on the CCP. The Commander then
presses their PTT (momentary) switch forward, to the transmit (TX) position. At the conclusion
of the transmission, the Commander releases the PTT switch to turn the microphone OFF.
Microphone - OFF Microphone - ON
CENTER POSITION REAR POSITION
Radio - PTT (momentary)
FORWARD POSITION
Power Interruption
When a power interruption occurs, and the CL/TR is the Master, when power returns, the
Master will come back online transmitting. The CL/TR is always the Master unless an out-ofrangeoccurrence happens.
Crew Connection Point
The primary function of the Crew Connection Point (CCP) is to allow secure,
intercommunication between vehicle crew members. The Crew Connection Point also
provides for radio traffic (TX and RX). Headwear is connected via a retractile cable to the
Crew/Commander connection. Once fully installed and powered, crew members can speak to
each other through the headwear.
Key-Pad Key Descriptions
When the Radio-PTT button is pressed the CCP will display this menu and indicate to the
radio where outgoing voice transmission is going. If the CCP is in Crew PTT the CCP will
display this menu and indicate either All Crew if in Crew All mode or the destination CCP if in
Crew Iso mode for the outgoing voice transmission. The CCP will return to its previous menu/
mode after transmission is complete.
The top line of text displays, going from left to right:
• Text indicating whether the user is communicating to all parties or a selected crew
member in crew mode and whether the user is listening to all radios or a selected
radio in radio mode. These modes are distinguished by the text All for all parties or Iso
for a selected party.
• Text indicating whether the CCP is displaying information regarding crew traffic or
radio traffic. The text Crew is shown when displaying crew information. The text Radio
is shown when displaying radio data.
• Text indicating the mode the intercom microphone is in. The text PTT is shown for
push-to-talk mode. In this mode, the user is required to press the Intercom-PTT key to
talk. The text VOX is shown for hands free voice activated intercom transmission. The
text OPEN is shown when the microphone is always live.
The center line of text displays communication destination information. If the CCP is set to
display crew information, the text will display All Crew if the selected mode is All or will display
the crew member the user is communicating with if the selected mode is Iso. If the CCP is set
to display radio information, then text indicating the radio to be communicated with when the
Radio-PTT button is depressed, is shown.
The bottom line of text displays the function of the soft keys. Going from left to right:
• Pressing Soft Key-Leftwill toggle the between All and Iso either the Radio or the
Intercom depending on the state of the CCP as displayed in the middle of the top line
of text on the menu.
• Pressing Soft Key-Centerwill toggle the CCP between Radio and Crew (Intercom) for
display of status information. The current state of the CCP is displayed in the middle of
the top line of text on the menu.
• Pressing Soft Key-Rightwill toggle the microphone mode between PTT, VOX, and
Open. This changes how the microphone operates when communicating to the crew.
The current state of the microphone is displayed on the right side of the top line of text
on the menu.
The volume setting of the headgear is visual interactive via a bar graph on the right side of the
display. Pressing the Volume-Up or Volume-Down buttons will increase or decrease the
sound. Depressing both the Volume-Up and the Volume-Down buttons simultaneously places
the CCP in combat volume mode. This mode is indicated by the wide bars in the Volume bar
display. Combat mode is toggled to the off condition by, again, simultaneously depressing the
up and down arrow key.
Lights Button
When the Lights button is pressed momentarily, it will turn the LEDs to backlight the display
ON for several seconds. Whether the Red or Green LEDs are illuminated is determined by the
configuration of the CCP. When the Lights button is depressed and held for approximately 1
second, it will turn the lights ON permanently. Press the Lights button for approximately 4
seconds to display the Lights menu. The Lights menu is where changes to the LED type and
intensity are made. The CCP will return to the previous menu if no button is pressed within
approximately 20 seconds. The red color is used to preserve the user's night vision. The
function of this button is always constant.
Radio Select-Up / Radio Select-Down Buttons
Dependent on whether the system is in Radio or Crew mode. On the Main Menu in Radio
mode, pressing these buttons will cycle through the list of selectable radios for outbound
communication. On the Main Menu in Crew mode, this action will cycle through the other
CCP's to select one for outbound communication, when in Isolate mode.
Volume-Up / Volume-Down Buttons
Increases or decreases volume for the listener on the Main Menu. The Volume-Up and
Volume-Down buttons control the sound level in the headgear. Depressing both
simultaneously toggles the CCP between normal volume control and combat volume mode.
The wide bars in the Volume bar display indicate Combat Volume Mode. To exit Combat
Volume Mode, press both volume buttons simultaneously.
Soft Key-Left
Switches between All and Isolate mode for communication with the crew or a radio. The
