1 Regulatory notices When reading this manual please pay attention to warnings marked with the warning triangle shown on the left. These are important messages for safety, installation and usage of the product. 1.1 Safety warnings This equipment must be installed in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual. This AIS transceiver is an aid to navigation and must not be relied upon to provide accurate navigation information. AIS is not a replacement for vigilant human lookouts and other navigation aids such as RADAR. The performance of the transceiver may be seriously impaired if not installed as instructed in the user manual, or due to other factors such as weather and or nearby transmitting devices. Compatibility with other systems may vary and is reliant on the third party systems recognising the standard outputs from the transceiver. The manufacturer reserves the right to update and change these specifications at any time and Do not install this equipment in a flammable atmosphere such as in an engine room or near to fuel tanks. 1.2 General notices 1.2.1 Position source All marine Automatic Identification System (AIS) transceivers utilise a satellite based location system, which is referred to as Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). This includes Global Positioning System (GPS), Globalnaya Navigazionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema (GLONASS), Galileo, and BeiDou. Page 3 Regulatory notices The accuracy of a GPS position fix is variable and is affected by factors such as the antenna positioning, how many satellites are used to determine a position and how long satellite information has been received for. The term GPS will be used in this manual to mean all and any GNSS systems. 1.2.2 Compass safe distance The compass safe distance of this unit is 0.2m or greater for 0.3 deviation. 1.2.3 RF emissions notice Caution: The AIS transceiver generates and radiates radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This equipment must be installed and operated according to the instructions contained in this manual. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and / or AIS transceiver malfunction. Caution: Never operate the AIS transceiver unless it is connected to a VHF antenna. To maximise performance and minimise human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy you must make sure that the antenna is mounted at least 1.5 metres away from the AIS transceiver and is connected to the AIS transceiver before power is applied. The system has a Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) radius of 1.5m. This has been determined assuming the maximum power of the AIS transceiver and using antennas with a maximum gain of 3dBi. The antenna should be mounted 3.5m above the deck in order to meet RF exposure requirements. Higher gain antennas will require a greater MPE radius. Do not operate the unit when anyone is within the MPE radius of the antenna (unless they are shielded from the antenna field by a grounded metallic barrier). The antenna should not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other transmitting antenna. The required antenna impedance is 50 Ohms.

To do that you will need to download proAIS2 to your PC or laptop from www.em-trak.com/installation. More detail on proAIS2 and the configuration process can be found in Section 3.5.2. Page 11 Installation 3 Installation 3.1 Summary Before beginning installation of your transceiver, please ensure you have any necessary additional items as detailed below. It is strongly recommended that you read all of the instructions in this manual prior to installation. If after reading this manual you are unsure about any element of the installation process please contact your dealer or support@em-trak.com for advice. New image required. Figure 4 Typical installation configuration Page 12 Installation In addition to the items supplied, the following may also be required for your installation:
VHF antenna and cable - this is required for your transceiver to receive and transmit. A VHF antenna installation is covered in more detail in Section 3.2.1. If you need to extend the antenna cable when connecting to your existing VHF antenna, RG-58 or RG-8X can be used for short distances. For longer runs we would recommend a low loss cable like RG-213. Power cable - this may be required to extend the length of the 2m power cable that is supplied with your transceiver. If you require longer cables to reach your power supply, please ensure they are capable of carrying currents of up to 4A peak and1.6A on average. Connecting the power supply is covered in more detail in Section 3.3.1. Toggle switch - this can be used to turn on/off silent mode. We would recommend a latching toggle switch for this application. Installation of the toggle switch is covered in more detail in Section 4.3. Silent mode can also be controlled using the configuration tools and proAIS2. Page 13 Installation 3.2 Antennas 3.2.1 VHF antenna Connection to a suitable VHF antenna will be required for the transceiver to receive and transmit. The B200 will require a dedicated VHF antenna that covers the AIS channels at 162MHz. New image required. Figure 5 Position of the VHF antenna connector The VHF antenna connector type is SO-239. It requires a PL-259 mating connector for the antenna. For optimum performance the VHF antenna should be mounted as high as possible, and as far away as possible from metal structures, obstructions or sources of interference. If another transmitting antenna is installed on the same vessel we would recommend a separation distance of at least 3m. Page 14 Installation 3.2.2 GPS Antenna The B200 integrates a high-performance GPS receiver and is compatible with the GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou satellite navigation systems. A dual GPS mode can be enabled using the proAIS2, allowing you to combine any two of the above systems. This will provide a more stable position fix, and also offers redundancy if one of the satellite systems goes offline. Please note the following guidelines when installing an external GPS antenna. You will require a 1" (inch) 14 TPI threaded mount if you choose to pole mount the GPS antenna. Mounting the external GPS antenna at a low point on the boat will minimise the effect of pitch and roll on your transmitted position. Do not mount your antenna in the direct path of a radar or any other transmitting equipment. New image required. Figure 6 Position of the GPS antenna connector Page 15 Installation 3.3 Power 3.3.1 Connecting the data cable A data cable is supplied with the product to provide connections for two NMEA 0183 data ports and the optional silent mode switch. The cable has a moulded connector at one end which should be connected to the 12 pin connector on the unit. The other end of the cable has 10 colour coded bare wires ready for connection.

Please check your wiring very carefully before applying power to the product. Failure to wire the product correctly could result in permanent damage. 3.3.2 Connecting the power cable The AIS transceiver is designed to operate at voltages from 9.6-31.2V, however for optimum performance we would recommend maintaining the voltage range at 12-24V. It is recommended that crimped and soldered lugs are used to connect the AIS transceiver to the power source using a suitable Page 17 Installation circuit breaker and/or 4A fuse block. The red and black wires as shown in Figure 7 need to be connected as follows:
1. Connect the red wire to a 12V or 24V power supply positive terminal. 2. Connect the black wire to the supply negative terminal. New image required. Figure 8 Connecting the power supply Page 18 Installation 3.4 Location and fixing of the transceiver Please note the following guidelines when selecting an installation location:
The ambient temperature around the transceiver should be maintained between -25C and +55C. The transceiver should not be located in a flammable or hazardous atmosphere, such as in an engine room or near to fuel tanks. The transceiver must be fitted in a location where it is at least 0.2m from a compass or any magnetic device. The transceiver should be mounted in a location where the LED indicators are readily visible as they provide important information on the status of the transceiver. WiFi & Bluetooth will benefit from the B200 being installed near the center of the boat to provide a consistent signal across all areas. The construction of your vessel can also have an impact on performance. For example, metal structural bulk heads and roofing, power cables and reflective surfaces can reduce, and in certain situations block, the signal. Consider testing the reception to ensure you're happy before you mount the transceiver. For optimum performance the transceiver should be mounted at least one metre away from other high power transmitting equipment like VHF radios. There should be adequate space around the transceiver for routing of cables. See Figure 9 for details of the transceiver dimensions. Page 19 Installation New image required. Figure 9 AIS transceiver dimensions Page 20 Installation Use the supplied mounting template to locate the desired position of the transceiver and simply screw the transceiver to your vessel. New image required. Figure 10 AIS transceiver mounting 3.5 Configuration Your transceiver will only be able to transmit once it has been configured with appropriate vessel data. 3.5.1 Switching on your AIS transceiver for the first time When power is applied to the transceiver for the first time all the status LED indicators will flash briefly, leaving only the amber and red LED indicators illuminated. You will now need to configure your transceiver, after which only the green LED will be illuminated. Page 21 Installation 3.5.2 Configuring your AIS transceiver Depending on the variant of transceiver there are three ways in which your AIS transceiver can be configured. Method 1: Configuration in advance by your dealer or installer. If your AIS transceiver has been configured for you by your dealer or installer you can proceed to Section 3.7. This is required for customers who have a US-registered vessel. Method 2: Configuration using your PC New image required. Figure 11 Configuration using your PC 3.6 Introduction to proAIS2 proAIS2 is available for download from www.em-trak.com/
installation and allows you to configure your transceiver using a PC or laptop over USB. This configuration tool can be used to configure your vessel data, check the GPS antenna performance, view details on surrounding vessels, and monitor and diagnose the performance of the transceiver. 3.6.1 Installing proAIS2 1. Download and extract the zip file to your local PC or laptop. For Windows installations you will need to open the 'en-us' folder Page 22 Installation and run the setup.exe or proAIS2.msi files before following the on-screen prompts. For MacOS X installations you will need to open the OSX folder and run the proAIS2.dmg file. 2. If a security warning appears, click 'Install' to continue with the installation. 3. For Windows installations, the USB drivers can be optionally installed at the same time. This is recommended for most instal-
lations and will be required to allow your PC or laptop to recog-
nise the transceiver COM port. Once installation is complete, a start menu folder and shortcut can be created for future use. 3.6.2 Vessel data configuration using proAIS2 You will require the following information in order to configure your AIS transceiver:
MMSI Vessel name Vessel type installation.
Vessel dimensions and position of your GPS antenna 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 configured once using proAIS2. If you need to change the MMSI for any reason, please contact your dealer or support@em-trak.com and provide the product serial number, current MMSI number and new MMSI number. 3.6.3 WiFi configuration using proAIS2 The WiFi interface can be configured using the WiFi tab. Page 23 Installation 3.6.4 Access point mode This mode enables your transceiver to create its own network. The following parameters can be configured:
AP SSID (the default is <B200>_<alphanumeric number>) IP address (the default is 192.168.2.1) Password (the default is emtrakais) Port (the default is 5000) Access point mode supports data streaming to two clients simultaneously. 3.6.5 Station mode This mode enables your transceiver to connect to an existing network as a client. The following parameters can be configured:
DHCP / Fixed IP address, Subnet, Gateway Host name SSID Password Port number Protocol Encryption on/off Page 24 Installation There is also an option to completely turn off WiFi / Bluetooth. New image required. Figure 12 Typical mobile devices for WiFi & Bluetooth connection Page 25 Installation 3.7 Connectivity 3.7.1 Connecting to an NMEA 2000 network The transceiver can be connected to an existing NMEA 2000 network to provide AIS and position data to other connected devices such as chartplotters, instruments, sensors, etc. Connection is made by a Micro-C drop cable to the existing NMEA 2000 network T-piece. This item is not supplied so you will need to purchase one from your local dealer. NMEA 2000 Figure 13 NMEA 2000 network connection Starter kits are available to purchase if you do not already have an NMEA 2000 network. The list of supported NMEA 2000 data (PGNs) is detailed in Section 4.4. 3.7.2 Connecting to your chartplotter NMEA 0183 port 1 is recommended for connecting to a chartplotter, operating at 38,400 baud by default. This can be changed using proAIS2 if required. Four wires are provided for a bi-directional connection, and are colour coded as shown in Figure 14. Page 26 Installation Other manufacturers may use different signal names, however the following general guidelines will apply when connecting to other equipment:
positive signals should be connected together negative signals should be connected together transmit signals should be connected to receive signals and vice versa. Please refer to your equipment manual for more information. Both NMEA 0183 ports support multiplexing, which means that any data received on port 1 will be automatically output on port 2, and vice versa. This can be useful when connecting to a chartplotter that only has a single NMEA 0183 port, so a sensor can be connected to port 2 on the transceiver, and the combined sensor and AIS data will be output on port 1. Page 27 New image required. Figure 14 Connecting to your chartplotter Installation Page 28 Installation 3.7.3 Connecting to your NMEA 0183 sensor NMEA 0183 port 2 is recommended for connecting to your sensor or NMEA 0183 compatible equipment operating at 4,800 baud by default. This can be changed using proAIS2 if required. Four wires are provided for a bi-directional connection, and are colour coded as shown in Figure 15. New image required. Figure 15 Connecting to your NMEA 0183 sensor 3.7.4 Connecting to your PC USB drivers will need to be installed for Windows operating systems (Windows 7 and up). These are installed automatically by using either Windows Update or when installing proAIS2. proAIS2 is available for download from www.em-trak.com/installation. USB drivers are typically not required for Mac OS X operating systems. Page 29 Installation Once your transceiver is communicating with your PC or laptop you can view the received AIS data using a compatible navigation application. New image required. Figure 16 Connecting to your PC 3.7.5 WiFi & Bluetooth connectivity The B200 can be connected wirelessly to any mobile device. To establish a connection with a mobile device you will need to select your transceiver from its list of detected devices using the device name or SSID - at default it appears as <B200>_<alphanumeric number> but it can be changed using the WiFi tab on proAIS2 if required. To stream AIS data to a navigation application you may then need to enter the IP address and port number. This is also displayed in the WiFi tab of proAIS2 and can be changed if required. Please contact support@em-trak.com if you require any assistance with the wireless configuration of your transceiver. Page 30 Operation 4 Operation 4.1 LED indicators 4.1.1 Using the AIS transceiver Once the unit has been configured it is ready for use. Providing other vessels installed with transceivers are within radio range of your vessel you will see their details appear on the display devices that you have connected to your transceiver. Please note that your full vessel details may not be visible to other vessels immediately as static data messages (containing vessel name, call sign, etc) are required to be transmitted every 6 minutes. 4.1.2 LED indicator functions The AIS transceiver includes five coloured LED indicators as shown in Figure 17. The state of the LED indicators provide information regarding the status of the AIS transceiver. New image required. Figure 17 LED indicator location on the AIS transceiver unit Page 31 Operation The meaning of each LED indicator is shown in the table below. Figure 17 shows the LED indicator positions on the AIS transceiver. LED Function Green LED indicator Indicates that the AIS transceiver is configured and powered up. Red LED indicator Indicates that the AIS transceiver has detected a system error. The likely causes of this are detailed in the troubleshooting guide in Section . Alarms displayed in the Diagnostic tab of proAIS2 will also assist with troubleshooting. Blue LED indicator Indicates that silent mode is enabled. Silent mode is a feature of the B200 that ceases the transmissions from your own vessel, whilst the reception of other vessel position reports continue. You can activate this using the configuration tools or by activating the toggle switch as detailed in Section 4.3. Amber LED indicator Indicates that the AIS transceiver is not transmitting. This can be for a number of reasons:
The AIS radio channels are exceptionally busy so there are currently no available slots for transmission. The unit has been in silent mode and after deactivating silent mode this amber LED indicator will illuminate until the first AIS message has been sent The AIS transceiver has been commanded by the local authority (via an AIS base station) to cease transmissions. Page 32 Operation Multicolour LED indicator Indicates the AIS transceiver is operating from the internal battery. The colour of the indicator flashes give information on the charge state of the battery: green - good charge level; yellow - ok charge level; red - low charge level. Table 2 LED indicator functions 4.2 Buttons 4.2.1 Silent mode button The silent mode button enables / disables silent mode'. In silent mode the transmission of your own vessel position ceases, whilst the reception of other vessel's AIS position continues. When silent mode is active the blue LED indicator will be illuminated. This is also reflected in the Diagnostics tab of proAIS2. 4.2.2 Back-up power button When external power is remove, the transceiver continues to operate in the selected back-up mode. Press and hold the back-up power button for 3s to turn off the transceiver. Repeating the press and hold will turn on the transceiver which will continue to operate in the selected back-up mode. The transceiver will turn on and return to normal operation when external power returns. 4.3 Silent mode An external switch enables / disables silent mode'. In silent mode the transmission of your own vessel position ceases, whilst the reception of other vessel's AIS position continues. When silent mode is active the blue LED indicator will be illuminated. This is also reflected in the Diagnostics tab of proAIS2. Page 33 Operation When silent mode is active other vessels will not be able to receive your vessel information on their AIS devices. Your navigational safety may be compromised as a result. Connect the toggle switch between the light green and orange wires as shown in Figure 18. This is optional and not essential for normal operation of the product. Do not connect a voltage source across the switch inputs as this may damage the transceiver.

Check that the power supply is a 12V or 24V supply. The red error LED indicator is flashing There may be a problem with the VHF antenna system. This can be confirmed using proAIS2. If the 'High VSWR' alarm is active please check for the following:
Faulty VHF antenna/cable/connectors Poor connection at the VHF antenna/
cable/connectors Suitability of the VHF antenna. An antenna optimised for AIS at 162MHz is recommended. VHF antenna location (ensure that is isn't mounted near other transmitting antennas or sources of interference, metal structures, or other obstructions) Check that the unit is configured with a valid MMSI number. This can be confirmed using the Configuration tab in proAIS2 Check that the GPS antenna has a stable position fix. This can be confirmed using the GPS Status tab in proAIS2 Check that the power supply is within 9.6 -
31.2V. This can be confirmed using the Diagnostics tab of proAIS2 The red 'error'
LED indicator is illuminated Page 37 Troubleshooting The amber LED indicator is flashing continuously No data is being received by the chart plotter My vessel name isn't being received by other vessels I can't establish a connection using WiFi or Bluetooth The amber LED indicator flashes while the transceiver searches for a position fix. If it takes longer than a minute you can check the performance of the GPS antenna by using the GPS Status tab of proAIS2 Check that the signal wires are connected correctly. Check that the baud rate matches both the transceiver and the chart plotter. Confirm that other vessels are within radio range and that they are displayed on the Other Vessels tab of proAIS2. Static data (containing vessel name, call sign, etc) is transmitted every 6 minutes so it may take a few transmissions before all the vessel data is displayed. Position reports contain critical data like position, MMSI number, vessel speed, etc and these are transmitted more regularly. Check that the transceiver is powered. Check the configuration parameters using proAIS2 Check that there are no obstructions between the transceiver and mobile device Check that there are no sources of interference nearby Table 4 Troubleshooting If the guidance given above does not rectify the problem you are experiencing, please contact your dealer or support@em-trak.com for further assistance.

Table 5 Specifications Page 40 About AIS 7 About AIS The marine Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a location and vessel information reporting system. It allows vessels equipped with AIS to automatically and dynamically share and regularly update their position, speed, course and other information such as vessel identity with similarly equipped vessels. Position is derived from the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and communication between vessels is by Very High Frequency (VHF) digital transmissions. There are a number of types of AIS device as follows:
Class A transceivers. These are similar to class B transceivers, but are designed to be fitted to large vessels such as cargo ships and large passenger vessels. Class A transceivers transmit at a higher VHF signal power than class B transceivers and therefore can be received by more distant vessels. They also transmit Class A transceivers are mandatory on all vessels over 300 gross tonnes on international voyages and certain types of passenger vessels under SOLAS regulations. Class B transceivers. Similar to class A transceivers in many ways, but are normally lower cost due to the less stringent performance requirements. Class B transceivers transmit at a lower power and at a lower reporting rate than class A transceivers. AIS base stations. AIS base stations are used by Vessel Traffic Systems to monitor and control the transmissions of transceivers. Aids to Navigation (AtoN) transceivers. AtoNs are transceivers mounted on buoys or other hazards to shipping which transmit details of their location to the surrounding vessels. AIS receivers. AIS receivers will generally receive transmissions from class A transceivers, class B transceivers, Page 41 About AIS AtoNs and AIS base stations but do not transmit any information about the vessel on which they are installed. 7.1 Static and dynamic vessel data There are two categories of information transmitted by a transceiver: static and dynamic data. The vessel's dynamic data, which includes location, speed over ground (SOG) and course over ground (COG), is calculated automatically using the integrated GPS receiver. Static data is information about the vessel which must be configured into the AIS transceiver. This includes:
Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) Vessel name Vessel call sign (if available) Vessel type Vessel dimensions In most countries the operation of a transceiver is included under the vessel's marine VHF license provisions. The vessel on to which the AIS unit is to be installed must therefore possess a current VHF radiotelephone license which lists the AIS system, vessel Call Sign and MMSI number.

AIS is not a replacement for vigilant human lookouts and other navigation aids such as RADAR. The performanceof the B200 may be seriously impaired if not installed as instructed in the user manual, or due to other factors such as weather and or nearby transmitting devices. Compatibility with other systems may vary and is reliant on the third party systems recognising the standard outputs from the B200 transciever. em-trak reserves the right to update and change these specications at any time without notice.

PO15 5RL UK Statement on simultaneous transmission of both transmitters - ID: YYG-4290008B The em-trak B200 AIS Class B transceiver incorporates an IEC 802.11 b/g/n (Wi-Fi) / Bluetooth 4.0 transceiver module. These transceiver modules operate independently of each other and so it is possible that they will both transmit at the same time. However, it is deemed unnecessary to test the product with both transmitters active due to the low duty cycle of each transmitter and the impracticality (and reliability) of such a test for these types of transmitters. The AIS transmitter is active for a period of 26ms every 2 seconds giving a maximum duty cycle of 1.3%. The Wi-Fi / Bluetooth transmitter can only transmit the same amount of data as is carried by a 38400 baud serial port (as all AIS data must be transmitted by such a serial port). If we assume that baud rate equals information rate (it doesnt but this is a worst-case assumption) then the Wi-Fi /
Bluetooth only transmits 38.4 kbits/s. If we also assume a poor-quality Wi-Fi / Bluetooth link that is restricted to just 2 Mbits/s, then the Wi-Fi duty cycle is only 1.9%. Furthermore, the Wi-Fi / Bluetooth transmitter and AIS transmitter operate on widely differing frequency bands which will pose a very low risk of undesired interaction. Their antennas are separate and physically widely spaced apart. Combining all these factors means a truly representative frequency analysis during simultaneous transmissions from the transmitters is virtually impossible. Signed:
