Navtex Receiver · Navigation & Bridge Equipment
The ICS Electronics ICS NAV6 is a NAVTEX receiver. It is normally installed on the bridge or GMDSS console with a dedicated receiving antenna. It is designed for automatic reception of navigational, meteorological and other maritime safety broadcasts. The operating principle relies on reception and filtering of scheduled coastal NAVTEX text broadcasts. Compared with neighbouring models, the relevant differences are display/printer arrangement, message storage, antenna interface and filtering controls; these must be confirmed from the installed documentation rather than inferred from the model designation alone. Service and survey attention should concentrate on reception, station/message selection, antenna, time/position inputs, alarms and power. For exact ratings, dimensions, tolerances, test limits and model-specific settings, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
Carry out the permitted operational/self-tests, inspect antennas, feeders, connectors, controls and cooling, and verify normal and emergency power where required. Check vessel identity, position and interfaces appropriate to the equipment type and review recurring alarms or logbook entries. A radio surveyor should confirm the installation and programmed data against the approved radio documentation.
Carry fuses, approved handsets/microphones or control accessories where applicable, antenna connectors and feeder repair items, selected power-supply components and manufacturer-recommended interface/control spares. The spare scale should match the vessel's declared GMDSS maintenance method.
