Please contact your dealer for details. 3.2.3 GNSS Antenna Mount A mounting bracket is required for the supplied GNSS antenna. 3.2.4 Data Interface Cables Suitable screened, multi core cable will be required to connect the ships sen-
sor (Heading etc.) data ports to the AIS transceiver. 3.3 Installation Procedures Before beginning installation of your AIS transceiver, please ensure that you read all of the instructions in this manual. Page 12 Installation and Configuration The following sections explain the installation process step by step for each of the main system elements. A typical system and connection diagram is pro-
vided in Figure 3 GNSS antenna VHF antenna Surge arrestor Chassis/GND Above decks Below decks 12/24V DC Supply Optional connections NMEA2000 Ships sensor data (Heading etc.) Displays etc. Figure 3 Typical AIS Transceiver Connection Page 13 Installation and Configuration 3.3.1 Step 1 - Installing the AIS Transceiver Please note the following guidelines when selecting a location for your AIS transceiver:
The AIS transceiver must be fitted in a location where it is at least 0.3m (1ft) from a compass or any magnetic device. There should be adequate space around the AIS transceiver for routing of cables. See Figure 28 for details of the AIS transceiver dimensions. The ambient temperature around the AIS transceiver should be maintained between -15C and +55C (5F to 131F). Ensure adequate ventilation is present when panel mounting the transceiver. It is recommended that the AIS transceiver be installed in a 'below decks' environment protected from the weather. The transceiver is supplied with four self tapping screws for attachment of the AIS transceiver to a suitable surface using the supplied bracket. Please refer to Figure 5 for guidance. The transceiver can be panel mounted using the four self tapping screws provided. Please refer to Figure 6 for guidance. Access behind the panel is required when using this mounting option. The AIS transceiver should be mounted in a location where the display is visible to the user at the position from which the vessel is normally operated.

To panel mount the unit it is necessary to remove the 4 off socket cap screws recessed in front of the unit. See Figure 6. Page 15 Installation and Configuration Figure 5 Desk Mounting the AIS Transceiver Page 16 Installation and Configuration Figure 6 Panel Mounting the AIS Transceiver Installing the GNSS Antenna 3.3.2 For mounting the GNSS antenna supplied with your AIS transceiver you will require a one inch 14 TPI pole mount. Contact your dealer to source a mount suitable for the installation location. Please note the following guidelines when selecting a location for the GNSS antenna:
The GNSS antenna mount should be secured to a rigid surface. The GNSS antenna should be located where it has a clear, unobstructed view of the sky overhead. Page 17 Installation and Configuration The GNSS antenna should be mounted as high as possible, however it is not recommended to mount the antenna on the top of a high mast where the motion of the vessel will cause the antenna to move and potentially reduce the accuracy of the GNSS position. Route the GNSS antenna cable to the AIS transceiver. If extension cables are required all junctions should be made using appropriate co-axial connectors and made watertight. Connect the GNSS antenna cable to the GNSS connector on the AIS trans-
ceiver. GNSS antenna should be at least 5m (16ft) from RADAR or satellite communication antennas. It should also be away from the RADAR beam path and mounted on a rigid surface. RADAR beam path 5m (16ft) GNSS antenna Figure 7 GNSS Antenna Location Page 18 Installation and Configuration GNSS antenna connection Figure 8 GNSS Antenna Connection Installing the VHF Antenna 3.3.3 Please note the following guidelines when selecting and locating the AIS VHF antenna:
The VHF antenna should be located as high as possible and positioned as far from other antennas as possible. The VHF antenna should have omnidirectional vertical polarization. Where possible the VHF antenna should be installed at least 3m
(10ft) away from other transmitting radio, satellite and RADAR antennas. Ideally the AIS VHF antenna should be mounted directly above or below the ships primary VHF radiotelephone antenna, with no horizontal separation and with a minimum of 2m vertical separation. Refer to Figure 9 for further guidance. The VHF antenna cable should be kept as short as possible to minimize signal loss. High quality, low loss coaxial cable appropriate to the installation location should be used. The VHF antenna cable should be terminated in a PL-259 co-axial connector for connection to the AIS transceiver. Any outdoor installed connectors in the antenna cables should be waterproof by design. Page 19 Installation and Configuration Antenna cables should be installed in separate signal cable channels at least 10cm (4ins) away from power supply cables. Crossing of cables should be done at right angles and sharp bends in the antenna cables should be avoided. It is recommended that a suitable surge arrestor is fitted in-line with the VHF antenna connector. Connect the VHF antenna cable to the VHF connector on the AIS transceiver as shown in Figure 10. VHF antenna should be at least 3m (10ft) from other transmitting radio, satellite and RADAR antennas. 3m (10ft) VHF antenna Figure 9 VHF Antenna Location Page 20 Installation and Configuration VHF antenna connection Figure 10 VHF Antenna Connection 3.4 Connecting the Equipment 3.4.1 Data Connections The transceiver is supplied with a 2m (6.5ft) 18 way data cable for connection of the transceiver to external equipment.

New acknowledged alarm. No active alarms. Figure 22 Alarm icons Page 34 If any alarm condition persists, contact your dealer or installer. Possible alarm conditions are listed in Table 5:
Operation Alarm TX Malfunction Description This alarm will occur if the MMSI has not been configured. This alarm can also occur if the radio hard-
ware has failed to select the correct fre-
quency, that the output power is too low or a transmitter shutdown has occurred. In this situation, ALR 001 is output over the PI. The alarm will be cleared if the transmitter recovers normal operation. RX Channel x Malfunction This alarm occurs should the receiver hard-
ware malfunction. The receiver is identified by the value of x (as shown below). The following alarms will be generated over the PI in this condition:
ALR 003 - Rx Channel 1 ALR 004 - Rx Channel 2 ALR 005 - DSC (Channel 70) If the receiver returns to normal operation this alarm will be cleared. Antenna VSWR exceeds limit No valid COG information No valid SOG information Heading lost or invalid This alarm condition can occur if the VSWR of the AIS antenna exceeds pre-defined lim-
its. This alarm is cleared if the VSWR returns to an allowable value. This alarm occurs if the transceiver has no valid Course Over Ground information from any connected sensor. This alarm occurs if the transceiver has no valid Speed Over Ground information from any connected sensor. This alarm occurs if the transceiver has no valid heading information from any con-
nected sensor, or if the heading is undefined. Page 35 Operation Alarm No sensor position in use UTC Sync Invalid Heading sensor offset Description This alarm occurs if the transceiver has no valid position information from any connected sensor. This alarm indicates that the transmitter is no longer directly synchronized with the GNSS receiver. This may be because the GNSS receiver cannot receive sufficient satellites. This alarm occurs if the difference between the course over ground and heading data is greater than 45 for more than 5 minutes. This alarm only occurs if the vessel speed over ground is greater than 5 knots. Table 5: Alarms List 4.7.8 Messages AIS text messages and Safety Related Messages (SRMs) can be received from other AIS equipped vessels and also sent to specific vessels (addressed messages) or sent to all vessels in range (broadcast messages). Reception of an AIS text message is indicated by the presence of the message icon at the top of the screen. This icon is shown whenever there are unread AIS text messages. Messages can be reviewed and replied to via the In-box. The transceiver can store up to a maximum of 20 messages in the In-box and 20 messages in the Sent folder. If the number of messages exceeds 20 then the oldest message will be overwritten. When a Safety Related Message is received the user will be notified immedi-
ately with a pop-up showing the message. Standard text messages are not displayed on receipt, however the message icon will be displayed at the top of the screen. AIS messages can be viewed, created and transmitted from the Messages menu. The available options are:
Compose - takes you to the message composition screen In-box - takes you to the received message list view Sent - shows a list of recently sent messages. Page 36 Operation To compose a new message, select the type of message from the drop down menu and the destination. This can be by directly entering the MMSI, or by se-
lecting from a list of visible targets. The message text is entered using the on screen keyboard. Messages are lim-
ited to 80 characters in length.
!
Class B transceivers are permitted to receive broadcast SRMs and broadcast text messages, however this function is not man-
datory. Class B transceivers are not able to receive addressed SRM or text messages. There is therefore no guarantee that text messages or SRMs sent to a Class B transceiver will be received. 4.7.9 Chart The AIS transceiver contains an application which will display AIS targets re-
ceived, along with its own vessel position on a chart style plot. The chart can be scrolled up, down, left, and right using the Function keys. Zooming in and out is via the Scroll wheel. Targets can be selected by moving the cross hairs over a target and pressing the Select key. The Options menu is also available for more advanced features. Within the Options menu, the chart can be oriented to either North, Heading, or Course Up. The chart can be set so that the own vessel position is always in the centre of the screen and kept in the centre if Centre Tracking is en-
abled. The chart can be de-cluttered by hiding filtered targets, or the own vessel icon, from the display. SOG vectors can also be displayed on the screen if this item is selected from the Options menu. Some of the layers displayed on the chart can be removed to provide more clarity on the display. The Chart Settings screen provides a way of modifying these. The chart feature is an aid for the display of information only and should not be used for vessel navigation. 4.7.10 Help and Support Screen This screen is available from the System Settings menu and provides contact information for the product manufacturer. It also provides relevant information from the User Manual. Page 37 Operation 4.7.11 User Settings Screen From this screen, it is possible to set the display brightness, set the display to a day or night colour scheme and configure the sounds emitted by the device. It is also possible from this screen to set the UTC time offset, change the pass-
word, change the filter settings and display the menus in a number of non-En-
glish languages. 4.8 Configuring Vessel Information 4.8.1 Pre-configuration Checks To proceed with configuration the steps in Section 3 should already have been completed. 4.8.2 Configuring Vessel Identification Information The transceiver must be configured with information about the vessel on which it is installed prior to operation. The following information is required to be en-
tered in the Vessel data settings menu:
MMSI - Vessel MMSI number, this can usually be found on the ships VHF radio license and should be the same MMSI as used for the VHF / DSC radio. Ship Name (limited to 20 characters) Call sign - Vessel radio call sign (limited to 7 characters) Ship type - Selected from the menu provided. Dimensions of the location of the GNSS antenna connected directly to the AIS transceiver (Internal GNSS) Please ensure that you enter all vessel data accurately. Failure to do so could result in other vessels failing to identify your vessel correctly. The vessel MMSI can only be programmed once using proAIS2, please take care to program your MMSI correctly. If you need to change the MMSI for any reason, please contact your dealer who will arrange to have the MMSI reset.

4.8.3 Configuring the GNSS Receiver The GNSS receiver can be configured to operate in one of three modes:
GLONASS and GPS in this mode the position fix is derived from both the GLONASS and GPS network in parallel. This mode is the default setting and gives the best performance. GPS in this mode only GPS satellites are used for the position fix. Page 38 Operation GLONASS in this mode only GLONASS satellites are used for the position fix. The operating mode can be selected from the GNSS source option in the Ad-
vanced settings menu. The antenna dimensions should be entered in metres according to the dia-
gram provided in Figure 23.

mence normal operation. Correct operation should be verified as follows:
1. Select the Own dynamic data option from the main menu. 2. Check that the displayed position, course, speed and heading are cor-
rect by comparing to the display associated to the connected position source and other data sources. 3. Check that the TX icon flashes periodically. Page 40 Operation 4. If the vessel is in an area where other AIS equipped vessels are pres-
ent press the Back / Home key and select Target list to check that data from other AIS equipped vessels is displayed. 5. Go to the System settings / System Information screen and select Hardware status, check that the supply voltage and antenna VSWR are correct. The transceiver is now operational and should remain powered unless autho-
rised by the local maritime authority. The installation record at the rear of this manual should be completed and left on board the vessel. Page 41 Operation 4.11 Displaying AIS Targets 4.11.1 Target List The Target List Screen is the primary screen for displaying AIS targets re-
ceived. This is the first screen displayed when the unit is switched on, but can also be accessed from the Target List option on the main menu. 16:58:29 SOG 21.1kt COG 88.0 UTC + 1h TARGET LIST 50 32.0286 N 0 55.2715 W 5W

Visible: 12 Filtered out: 0 Figure 25 Target List Screen By default the target list is sorted by range but can be sorted on any column by using the left and right Function keys to select a column and pressing the
'Select' key to sort either in ascending or descending order. Navigation up and down the list is via the up and down arrow keys or scroll wheel. Selecting a highlighted target using the Select key will bring up more details of that target. The Options menu on this screen provides additional actions which can be performed on the target list. Different symbols are shown for an AIS target depending on the type of target and its status, these are shown in . These symbols are common to the Target list, Target plot and Chart displays. Page 42 Operation AIS Class A AIS Class B B Off Position AtoN BS Base station Off Position AtoN AIS SART AIS AtoN AIS SAR Aircraft Figure 26 AIS target symbols displayed 4.11.2 Target Filtering From the Target List options menu, if 'Show Filter Settings' is selected, a screen is displayed indicating which filter parameters can be set to reduce the amount of data displayed on screen. This screen can also be accessed through System Settings-> User Settings. Filters can be toggled on and off on the target list by pressing the Options menu key and selecting Toggle filters off. The bottom line of the target list shows how many targets are visible or filtered out. If a filter is set, the filter icon is displayed at the top of the screen. The Filters icon does not represent CPA/TCPA alarm settings. 4.11.3 CPA/TCPA Settings The transceiver can be configured to filter out approaching vessels which fall within certain limits. The Closest Point of Approach (CPA) defines a boundary around the own vessel upon which, if breached, will trigger the filter. Time to Closest Point of Approach (TCPA) can only be set if CPA is set, and will trigger the filter if the time to the CPA limit is breached. These parameters are set on the Filtering and CPA/TCPA Settings menu. The target list shows targets which trigger the TCPA/CPA filter red. These CPA/TCPA figures are calculated solely on AIS data and should not be used for anti-collision purposes. Note: Setting the CPA/TCPA filter will not activate the Filters Icon. 4.11.4 Target Plot The Target Plot screen shows the location of other AIS equipped vessels and shore stations relative to your own vessel. The target plot screen provides a basic overview of AIS targets and should not be regarded as a substitute for Page 43 Operation display of AIS information on a dedicated electronic chart display system (EC-
DIS). The plot range can be adjusted by rotating the scroll wheel which cycles through the ranges 0.2NM up to 100NM. The range relates to the radius of the outer range ring shown on the screen. Individual targets can be selected by using the arrow keys. When selected a square outline will appear around the target and the vessel details will be shown on the left hand side of the screen. By pressing the options menu key, additional display features can be selected. If the Own Vessel Details option is selected the left hand side of the screen will change to show own vessel dynamic data. If the MOB Details Display option is selected, the target plot will change to show only AIS-MOB, AIS-SART, and AIS-EPIRB devices. The left hand side of the screen will show the range and relative bearing to whichever target is currently highlighted using the arrow keys. 4.12 Micro SD card data input On the front of the transceiver under the door on the lower left hand side is a socket for a Micro SD memory card. See Figure 27. This can be used for load-
ing new navigation charts or to upgrade the unit firmware. Note the orientation of the Micro SD card, which is critical to ensure the product is not damaged. Page 44 Operation Figure 27 Micro SD card Socket 4.12.1 Loading New Charts The transceiver always contains a basic low resolution world chart. More detailed resolution charts can be purchased and overlaid onto the trans-
ceivers chart display. The transceiver will read only Jepperson C-MAP MAX format Micro SD cards. See your dealer for available charts for your region. Insert a C-MAP Micro SD card into the Micro SD card socket. The transceiver will then automatically overlay that higher resolution chart region onto the rel-
evant region on the transceivers world chart. Remove the Micro SD card and the region will revert back to the basic world-
chart. 4.12.2 Upgrading the Unit Firmware If a Micro SD card that contains valid upgrade firmware is inserted into the card socket, the unit will recognize the new firmware and will display a message asking you if you want to install it. The system will guide you to the appropriate menu screen, where the firmware update can be applied. Page 45 Operation 4.12.3 Logging Ports to the Micro SD card If a Micro SD card is inserted into the card socket, the AIS transceiver can be configured to output specific data to the card. This is accessed from the indi-
vidual port menu (from the System settings -> Interfaces menu.) If the Log port to SD Card option is set to On, data will be output from that port to the Micro SD card, if one is inserted into the card socket. Only one port can be logged to the Micro SD card at a time. 4.12.4 Saving/Loading Settings From the Save/Restore& reset settings menu, all system settings and trans-
ceiver configuration data can be saved to the Micro SD card, if one is inserted into the card socket. Settings previously saved can be restored, thus restoring the transceiver to a previous configuration. Reset settings will restore the unit to its factory defaults and is protected by the unit password. 4.13 WiFi Feature The AIS transceiver provides features to operate with vessel WiFi networks, or to create its own network. Access the WiFi menu through Interfaces -> Wi-
Fi settings. 4.13.1 Client Mode If client mode is selected, the transceiver will search for available WiFi net-
works to connect to. If one is selected a password may be required, and upon connection the details of the connection will be shown in the bottom right cor-
ner of the screen. Once a WiFi connection is made, the transceiver will output a range of NMEA sentences over the selected WiFi port. 4.13.2 Access Point Mode If the transceiver is configured as a WiFi access point (AP) it will create its own WiFi network, allowing other WiFi enabled devices to connect to it. Once con-
nections are made, a range of NMEA sentences will be transmitted from the transceiver to any connected devices. 4.13.3 Advanced WiFi Features Within the WiFi screen, certain parameters can be changed such as Channel Number, Protocol, Port, Encryption, etc. These are recommended for ad-
vanced users only. WiFi is switched off by selecting Disable in the Select Operating mode box.
