This board was constructed in an ESD (electrostatic discharge) protected environment. This is because most of the semiconductor devices used in this board are susceptible to damage by static discharge. Depending on the magnitude of the charge, device substrates can be punctured or destroyed by contact or mere proximity of a static charge. The results can cause degradation of device perfor-

mance, early failure, or immediate destruction. These charges are generated in numerous ways such as simple contact, separation of materials, and normal motions of persons working with static sensitive devices. When handling or servicing equipment containing static sensitive devices, adequate precautions must be taken to prevent device damage or destruction. Only those who are thoroughly familiar with industry accepted techniques for handling static sen-

sitive devices should attempt to service circuitry with these devices. In all instances, measures must be taken to prevent static charge buildup on work surfaces and persons handling the devices. 165M0014-10 Page v Rev. 06 Mar. 16/11 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Rev. 06 Mar. 16/11 165M0014-10 Page vi Aviation Recorders Marine Systems SECTION 1 ProTec AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (AIS) INTRODUCTION 165M0014-10 Page 1--1 Rev. 06 Mar. 16/11 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK. Rev. 06 Mar. 16/11 165M0014-10 Page 1--2 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems ProTec AIS Introduction 1.1. General The L-3 ProTec is an Automatic Identification System transponder which is fully com-

pliant to the technical specifications defined by the IMO and outlined in ITU.R.M 1371-1. The transponder employs the latest radio frequency and Self Organized Time Division Multiple Access (SOTDMA) and DSC controller technology to provide a high performance, automated, and reliable identification system for commercial mariners. The Transponder is a fully automated system which ties into ships naviga-

tional instruments to provide automatic transmission of ships identity, status, and maneuvering intentions via standard marine VHF communication techniques. Se-

quencing of transmission between all vessels within VHF range is provided through SOTDMA controlling software to handle high traffic volume situations. The Transponder is a fully automated system. This means that once it is installed and turned on, no maintenance is required to keep it operational. The only time the user needs to perform any function on the transponder is to change the ships Ves-

sel/Voyage data as required. 1.1.1. System Overview The L-3 ProTec is an Automatic Identification System fully compliant with the IMO specifications defined in IMO MSC.74(69) Annex 3, IEC 61993-2, and ITU.R M.1371-1. This AIS transponder has been developed using technology applied in the design of our VHF DSC Class A radio, a design which has been field tested for over a decade with over 10,000 units operational in the field. With the addition of the SOTDMA controllers, the L-3 ProTec provides a cost-effective AIS solution which will meet the needs of any vessel required to carry AIS. The compact, single-box design allows the L-3 ProTec to be easily incorporated into any bridge layout thus simplify-

ing installation and cabling requirements. The L-3 ProTec has been designed as maintenance-free unit which makes extensive use of surface mount technology (SMT). The repair of printed wiring assemblies

(PWAs) containing SMT components requires specialized factory equipment, train-

ing, and techniques, therefore, such PWAs are not field-repairable. As a result, maintenance philosophy for the L-3 ProTec is replacement of failed as-

semblies. In the case of the L-3 ProTec, the replaceable assemblies are the Face-

plate Assembly (192M0093-00), the Main PWA (205M0023-12), the Channel 70 PWA (205M0003-01), the IEC PWA (205M0274-11), and the Controller PWA

(205M0307-00). 165M0014-10 Page 1--3 Rev. 06 Mar. 16/11 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems When it has been determined that one or more of these assemblies is faulty, the faulty assembly(ies) should be removed and returned to the Aviation Recorders fac-

tory for repair or replacement. Attempts to repair any of these assemblies will void the warranty. Extreme care should be used when handling these assemblies. For repair service, ship units to:

Compact Design The completely self-contained L-3 ProTec is the most compact AIS unit available on the market today with outside dimensions of 6.5 W (16.5cm.) x 3.4 H (8.6cm.) x 7.4 D (18.8cm.). It is easily mounted on any surface using either a trunion bracket or flush-mount bracket. The data port on the faceplate provides for easy connection to any external display in either mounting configuration. 1.3.2. Integral Minimum Keyboard Display (MKD) In line with the compact design, the L-3 ProTec is a single-box design incorporating an integral MKD which is fully IMO compliant. The interface includes a 2.58 L

(6.5cm) x 1.16 H (2.9cm) (160 x 64Dots) backlit LCD screen for displaying alphanu-

meric text and a multifunction keypad. The closest three vessels within AIS range will be displayed with each vessel identified by MMSI and ship name and will display both range and bearing to each vessel. The interface has been designed to facilitate data entry and retrieval with a minimum of keystrokes. It also includes a Pilot port designed to allow any user to quickly and easily attach a portable AIS-compatible display system directly to the AIS transpond-

er for display of the AIS data. This display system can consist of any system which recognizes the NMEA AIS string whether its installed on a handheld PC, laptop PC, or dedicated display. 1.3.3. Integral GPS The L-3 ProTec includes an internal GPS receiver card. The internal GPS provides timing data required for synchronization of transmission. By specifications, ship posi-

tional information in NMEA format is to be fed to the transponder from the ships ex-

ternal electronic position indicating system through the supplied data cable. The in-

ternal GPS requires a dedicated GPS antenna to be mounted on the superstructure and the appropriate connections are supplied on the transponder unit back panel. 1.3.4. Data Interface Each transponder will be delivered with an IEC-specified NMEA standard data cable required to interface to ships sensors and external display. The description of this interface cable is given in the Installation Section of this manual. The standard kit includes an eight feet (2.9m) cable and a terminal block to facilitate the final linkup to the ships navigational instruments.

Operational Modes Aviation Recorders Marine Systems The ProTec AIS is designed to operate in each of three modes: Autonomous and Continuous, Assigned and Polled which are defined below. 1.3.6.1 Autonomous and Continuous This is the default mode. The ProTec AIS will determine its own schedule for trans-

mission of position and identification and will automatically resolve scheduling con-

flicts with other stations using the SOTDMA methodology. 1.3.6.2 Assigned In this mode, the ProTec allocates the defined slots and be-

It will continue to transmit in these slots with a zero The ProTec will automatically switch to assigned mode when it is commanded by a competent authority, such as a base or repeater station, to transmit on a specific transmission schedule. gins transmitting on these slots. slot time-out and a zero slot offset, until those slots have been removed from the transmission schedule. The assigned slots use the SOTDMA access scheme, with the time-out value set to the assigned slot time-out. The assignment terminates when the slot time-out reaches zero of any assigned slot, and the ProTec returns to autonomous and continuous mode. 1.3.6.3 Polled The ProTec AIS will transmit a response to DSC interrogation messages from a ship or competent authority and respond back on the same channel without interfering with either of the other two modes. When an automatic response is required, trans-

mitted responses will be made on channel 70 unless the unit is instructed to transmit on another channel. The ProTec is inhibited from transmitting on the AIS 1 and AIS 2 channels. If and when frequency channels other than channel 70 are used for DSC transmissions, the receive capability of TDMA operations should not be impaired more than it would be if all DSC messages were transmitted on channel 70. 1.3.6.4 Initialization The ProTec AIS will enter into an Initialization mode at Power-Up during which it will monitor the TDMA channels for one minute. During this initialization period, a dy-

namic directory of all users in the system will be created which includes user IDs, slot assignments, positions, and other transmitted data. After this initialization period of 1 minute, the ProTec will enter the required operational mode and begin transmis-

sion of the AIS data on the required schedule. 165M0014-10 Page 1--11 Rev. 06 Mar. 16/11 1.3.7. DSC Functionality Aviation Recorders Marine Systems The Assigned and Polled operational modes are activated through a DSC message transmitted by the competent authority. In order to provide for this, the ProTec AIS contains a dedicated DSC receiver that is tuned to channel 70. DSC messages origi-

nating from shore stations of competent authorities will define regional AIS frequen-

cies, regions of coverage, required transmission schedule and/or interrogation re-

quest. The ProTec AIS will respond back to such DSC interrogations on the fre-

quency specified in a manner such that it does not interfere with the TDMA transmis-

sions by interleaving the transmission between TDMA transmissions. The DSC re-

sponse will be made after a random delay of 0 - 20 seconds provided the signaling channel is clear and the TDMA transmissions are not interrupted. 1.3.8. AIS Broadcast Parameters A Class A AIS unit broadcasts the following information every 2 to 10 seconds while underway, and every three minutes while at anchor at a power level of 12.5W. The information broadcast includes:

F MMSI number - unique referenceable identification. F F F F F F F Navigation status Speed over ground - 1/10 knot resolution. Position accuracy - differential GPS. Longitude - to 1/10,000 minute and Latitude - to 1/10,000 minute. Course over ground - relative to true north to 1/10th. True Heading - 0 to 359 derived from heading sensor. Time stamp - The universal time to nearest second that this information was generated. In addition, the Class A AIS unit broadcasts the following information every six minutes:

F MMSI number - same unique identification used above, links the data above to described vessel. F F F F IMO number - unique referenceable identification (related to ships construction). Radio call sign - international call sign assigned to vessel, often used on voice radio. Name - Name of ship, 20 alphanumeric characters are provided.

defined. Draught of ship - 1/10 to 25.5m [note air-draught is not provided]. Destination - 20 alphanumeric characters are provided. F F F F F 1.3.9. AIS Frequencies The International Telecommunications Union World Radio Conference in 1997 desig-

nated two VHF radio frequencies: 161.975MHz (AIS1, or channel 87B) and 162.025MHz (AIS2, or channel 88B) for AIS. In the US, the first channel is owned by MariTEL, a public coast station operator, and the second by the federal government. The USCG signed a Memorandum of Agreement with MariTEL for use of AIS 1, and has authority from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to use both AIS1 and AIS 2 US-wide for AIS operation. The USCG has asked the Federal Communications Commission to authorize any US vessel to operate AIS on these two channels under its existing ship station license. The FCC released a Notice authorizing operation of AIS under a ships existing station license. 1.3.10.

Long Range Equipment Interface The range of operation of standard AIS is limited to the range of VHF transmissions which is approximately 30 miles. The Long Range mode is intended to allow the exchange of ships position information from ship to a competent authority via a sat-

ellite interface such as Inmarsat-C which is already onboard many ships. This port is intended to interface with the Long Range equipment. The Long Range reply can be set in either:

F automatic mode (AUTO) F manual mode L-3 ProTec (MANUAL) F manual mode external application (EXT APPL). The Long Range reply, when in AUTO mode, is made as soon as a request is re-

ceived on the Long Range communication port. Rev. 06 Mar. 16/11 165M0014-10 Page 1--16 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems The Officer of the Watch must approve the Long Range reply when in MANUAL mode, by a means of pressing a keyboard button on the L-3 ProTec before the reply is performed. The Long Range reply, when in EXT APPL mode, is made by the L-3 ProTec upon reception of confirmation / acknowledgement from the external application via the high-speed ports. The external application acknowledges the interrogation by return-

ing the LRF sentence (updated with reply information). 1.4.5. Long Range Input Data and Formats The input data and formats are in the form of two Long Range interrogation sen-

Rev. 06 Mar. 16/11 165M0014-10 Page 2--2 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems ProTec AIS Operation 2.1. Operation The L-3 ProTec has been designed to require minimal user interaction during normal operation. The interface consists of an integral alphanumeric display with alphanumeric keypad providing for data entry, retrieval and display. 2.1.1. Minimum Keyboard Display The L-3 ProTec includes and integral MKD which is fully IMO compliant. The MKD is designed to be used for configuration of the hardware, entry of vessel and voyage specific data, and be used to monitor the AIS system. The MKD provides numerous functions, which can be accessed via the controls located on the front face of the ProTec AIS system. The MKD provides a fully functional menu structure that allows the user to Logon / Logoff, configure System Information, Vessel / Voyage data, and the Antenna Position. The user may also view Alarm Status, General Status, Down--

Time Log, and the Safety Text Log. In addition, the AIS Channels can be configured, along with changing user passwords, setting Baud rate, adjust the LCD viewing angle, and managing the Change Management Settings. The front face of the L-3 ProTec contains the following controls. communications STATUS ON/OFF/DIM PILOT Figure 2--1. AIS Transponder 165M0014-10 Page 2--3 Rev. 06 Mar. 16/11 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems NOTE: When the AIS is in operation it is normal for the housing to be warm to the touch. 2.1.1.1 Power/Dim Control A single control knob controls both the on/off function and backlighting level for the LCD. To turn the unit ON, rotate the knob clockwise. To turn unit OFF rotate counter-

clockwise fully. The degree of rotation determines the brightness of the LCD back-

light and clockwise rotation will dim the backlighting. The default value of the display is maximum backlighting, therefore, the default value is set by turning the control knob as far counterclockwise as possible without turning the unit off. 2.1.1.2 Liquid Crystal Display The display is an alphanumeric LCD with backlighting which will display data entry forms and AIS target data for the nearest three vessels. 2.1.1.3 Key Pad The keypad contains dedicated function buttons and alphanumeric buttons which allow for data entry and retrieval. 2.1.1.4 Pilot Port The Pilot Port is an IEC high speed (38,400Kbs), RS422, data port which can be used to connect any external display such as an ECS, or other PC-based software package. 2.1.2. Keypad Description The keypad allows the user to access the menu system built into the transponder interface. The keys are defined below:

NAV ENT CLR AIS Target Data Display Pressing this button toggles between the NAV display screen (which displays the AIS target data for the nearest three vessels), and the Own Ship display screen. Enter Key Allows user to enter Edit mode, or to save data if already performing an Edit operation. When in the Vessel List, pressing this key accesses additional information for the selected vessel. Clear Key Used to clear data from a data entry field before entering new data. Pressing once will clear the entire field. Rev. 06 Mar. 16/11 165M0014-10 Page 2--4 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems Directional ARROW Keys Used to navigate between data entry fields on a data entry form and scroll right/left and up/down in an alphanumeric display field. When in the NAV (default) screen, the Left or Right arrow keys will allow the user to toggle between the Ship Name display and the MMSI screen. (The MMSI screen will always be displayed for a vessel if the ship name is not known.) The directional arrow keys can also be used to toggle between Vessel Info page 1 and Vessel Info page 2. Function Key Used as the initial key in a key sequence to access the various secon-

dary functions of the interface. Cancel Key Used to cancel any edit made in a data entry field and revert data back to preexisting data. Message Key Used to access the text messaging window, in order to send Safety Text Messages. Escape Key Will bring user up one level on the menu system. FNC CAN MSG ESC The blue text above some of the keys identify the secondary definitions for each button. These secondary definitions are activated by pressing of the FNC button in a key sequence. SETUP Enters the AIS Main System Menu menu system. HOME Returns cursor to start position in a data entry field END ALL Moves cursor to last position in a data entry field System Information Menu The alphanumeric keypad is used to enter both numbers and letters. When alphanu-

meric text entry is expected, the nonnumerical options are presented before the nu-

meric value of the key. For example, the number 2 key provides for entry of A, B, and C. When the cursor is positioned in a display field location that expects an al-

phanumeric character, the first press of the 2 key will result in the display of an A. Another press (in less than one second) will cause a B to be displayed. The next press shows a C, while the fourth press shows a 2. The number 1 key provides for entry of special symbols. 165M0014-10 Page 2--5 Rev. 06 Mar. 16/11 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems Repeated key presses will result in cycling through the character options repeatedly. When the operator stops pressing keys for longer than the preset timeout, the last value is retained and the cursor moves to the next location in the field. Pressing a different key forces acceptance of the last character for the field and moves the cur-

sor along. FNC-ENT Displays the Vessel/Voyage Setup screen. 2.1.3. Data Display Screens The AIS interface consists of the following display screens each of which is ac-

cessed using the defined key sequence. 2.1.3.1 NAV Display Screen (Default Screen) Figure 2--2. NAV Display Screen This display shows the three closest targets by MMSI number or ship name, the range in nautical miles, and bearing of each target. Using the up () or down () arrow keys you may scroll through every target that is detected. Targets xxx:

Time:

Number of targets detected by the transponder. Current date. Current time derived by the internal GPS receiver. GPS status can be found in lower right corner of display. I = Internal Time:

S = Slot Time:

F= Flywheel:

N= No time available Valid time from the internal GPS (normal operating condition). Lost internal GPS time but is deriving timing inform--

ation from the slot timing on the VHF Data Link (VDL). Transponder is depending on the internal CPU clock for timing, after losing internal and slot timing. It will run for approximately one minute and then go to N. Display Status Indicator: A small dot flashes near the upper left corner of all display screens during normal operation (see Figure 2--2). If the dot is not visible, or Rev. 06 Mar. 16/11 165M0014-10 Page 2--6 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems if it stops flashing and is displayed statically, it indicates that the display has become unresponsive. If this happens, cycle power. Text messaging can be disabled by pressing the FNC 1 button. When text messaging is disabled, a Tx Disabled message will appear in the upper right hand area of the display window. If text messaging is disabled, and you wish to enable it again, press FNC 1 button (this key sequence toggles between text messaging enabled and text messaging disabled). The AIS can be set to use its internal GPS by pressing the FNC 4 button. When using the internal GPS a + symbol will appear in the lower center area of the display window (as shown in Figure 2--2).

Transponder Aviation Recorders Marine Systems The L-3 ProTec is a single box design which is easily installed into any existing bridge layout. The compact design requires minimal clearance (refer to Section 4 Figure 4--1 and Figure 4--2) and can be mounted in a trunion bracket or mounted flush using the available flush--mount bracket. F Mount the transponder in a position which provides easy access to the keyboard and display. F F F If using the trunion bracket, the mount itself may be used to mark the screw holes on the mounting surface. When locating the transponder, consider that the IMO mandates that the AIS keyboard and display be easily accessed from a navigable position on the bridge. If used, Mount the transponder in the trunion utilizing the trunion knobs pro-

vided, otherwise mount transponder in flush mount bracket. Locate and mount the terminal block or junction box in a position near the transponder. The IEC cable provided with the unit is 100in (2.54m) long. Lo-

cate the terminal block in a fashion which allows for easy access to the termi-

nals for making the connections to required input/output feeds. F When connecting the power cable, the Red lead goes to positive and Black to negative. Ensure proper ground wire attachment to ships structure. The other two leads can be used to connect to an external alarm system. This alarm sys-

tem can provide an audio and/or visual alarm in the event of an internal system malfunction, or if the AIS loses power or is turned off. Install the transponder, and complete the AIS Installation Checklist found it Appendix A, as follows:

(1) Mount the transponder. (In trunion, if used.) NOTE:

A junction box may be used in place of the terminal block.

(2) Locate an ideal position for the terminal block. F F F Protected from weather. Protected from high heat. Protected from accidental contact with conductive material. F Within 100in (2.5m) of the transponder due to IEC data cable length. F F Grounding of terminal block to ships structure. Need to feed cables from navigational sensors.

(3) Mount terminal block or junction box with self tapping screws.

(4) Ground terminal block to ships structure using grounding cable provided. Rev. 06 Mar. 16/11 165M0014-10 Page 3--4 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems For steps (5) through (9) refer to Paragraph 3.1.2.

(5) Connect the IEC cable to data port on back of Transponder. NOTE:

If an interface adapter must be used to convert either Gyro output and/or dGPS output to IEC (NMEA 0183) standard, the output from the interfaces should be located as near as possible to the sending unit (Gyro or dGPS) and the output cables led to the IEC terminal block.

(6) Lead data cables from Gyrocompass data output port to terminal block.

(7) Lead data cables from ships DGPS data output port to terminal block.

(8) Feed the IEC data cable to the terminal block. NOTE:

The metallic shielding of each of the three shielded cables containing the twisted pairs must be connected to the terminal block using the shield drain wire connected to the shield. The shields from Cables 1 and 2 do not have to be connected. The shield from Cable 3 must be connected to TB pin ID 30, which is grounded to the ships hull.

(9) Connect each wire in the IEC data cable to the terminal block. (Refer to NO TAG and NO TAG.)

(10) Connect power cable to transponder. (Refer to Figure 3--7.)

(14) Go to Paragraph 3.1.3. for VHF antenna installation steps. Rev. 06 Mar. 16/11 165M0014-10 Page 3--6 3.1.2. Connecting the IEC Data Interface Cable Aviation Recorders Marine Systems The AIS Transponder receives data from the ships sensors through a data interface cable which is connected to the back of the transponder through a data port. regulations require that the ship heading, speed--over--ground (SOG), course--over---

ground (COG), rate--of--turn (ROT) and position be transmitted from the AIS. In or-

der to meet these requirements, the L-3 ProTec provides six data channels to allow the AIS to be connected to the ships Gyrocompass and DGPS system in accor-

dance with NMEA 0183. IMO The L3 AIS is shipped with one IEC interface cable P/N 024M0088-01. All IEC/Pilot communications with the AIS is referenced with the L-3 ProTec considered the MASTER in that transmit data is OUTPUT from the L-3 ProTec, and receive data is INPUT to the L-3 ProTec. All channels are isolated with individual shielded twisted pair cables. The IEC connector (J4) is located on the back of the L-3 ProTec. (Refer to IEC 61993--2 annex D. and NMEA 0183) IEC channels 1, 2, and 3 are RECEIVE ONLY sensor inputs. Differential data (RS422) is received on each of these chan-

nels and internally converted to TTL for input to a standard UART. Channels 4, 5, and 8 are all RS422 interfaces. IEC channels 4 and 5 are TRANSMIT/RECEIVE channels for AIS data. IEC channel 8 is the AIS long range port. 3.1.2.1 Data Channels Data enters the Transponder through six available data channels. Three data chan-

nels are low speed unidirectional (4,800 baud) channels suitable for data input to the transponder. The other three data channels are high speed bidirectional channels

(38,400 baud) which support both input and output to/from the transponder. The channels are described below by channel number and type. Suggested uses of each channel are provided but it is not required that a user define the channels in this fashion. The internal software in the transponder is able to distinguish the type of data feeding from each channel provided all data streams subscribe to the IEC 61162 format (NMEA 0183). Table 3--1. Data Channels Channel BAUD 1 2 3 4 5 8 4800 4800 4800 38400 38400 38400 Type Receive Receive Receive Transmit / Receive Transmit / Receive Transmit / Receive Suggested Use dGPS (COG, SOG, LAT, LON) Rate of Turn Heading (Gyro) PC Application ARPA/ECDIS Long Range Tracking (Dedicated) 165M0014-10 Page 3--7 Rev. 06 Mar. 16/11 The IEC I/O electrical characteristics are as follows:

Aviation Recorders Marine Systems The A, B and C leads are as defined in IEC 61162--1, 61162--2 and V.11. A and B are both signal leads with C being the effective return for both the A and B leads. A and B operate differentially to each other. High--level output voltage is 4V minimum from the A lead to the C lead and from the B lead to the C lead. Low--level output voltage is 0.4V maximum. Recommended maximum output current capability is 110mA. Input is differential from A to B. Effective input resistance is 4.9k ohm across A and B and 96k from A or B to C. Differential input voltage threshold is 250mV maximum. Inputs will meet the requirement of withstanding +/--15V between any two leads, A, B or C. 3.1.2.2 Data Cable Each transponder will come shipped with a 100in--long IEC data cable (P/N 024M0088-00) terminated at one end by a J4 connector. (Refer to Figure 3--3, Fig-

ure 3--3, and Figure 3--4.) The cable may either have a white covering (ECS cable), or a grey covering (Alpha cable), and it is important to recongnize the wire color changes between the two cables to insure a proper installation. No matter which of thse IEC data cables is used, it is shielded and contains three smaller diameter cables, each of which is also shielded. Each of these smaller cables contains three shielded twisted pairs (STP) each and each STP includes a drain wire. A low speed unidirectional (input only) data channel (4,800Kbs) is carried through one STP, and a high speed bidirectional (input/output) data channel (38,400Kbs) will require two pairs. 3.1.2.3 Terminal Block A terminal block is the preferred installation method for completing the data interface

(NMEA) because data output from a ship sensor ( dGPS, ROT, Gyro) may not sub-

scribe to a standard pinout definition. As such, each installation may require that the installer identify and cross reference the sensor pinouts with the IEC pinouts, which is a well defined standard pinout description. The terminal block allows for greater flexibility in completing the connection to the ships sensors. A junction box may be made available which terminates the data cable on the termi-

nal block and provides serial connectors to allow for easy connection to ship sen-

sors. However, the installer will need to confirm the pinout definitions for the sensor outputs before completing the connection correctly.

Installing the VHF Antenna Aviation Recorders Marine Systems Installation of a VHF antenna is as important to reliable communications as the transceiver itself. It is recommended that a high quality antenna be purchased from an established source and that all manufactures instructions be followed with partic-

ular attention to cable routing and connector installation. Some important consider-

ations in antenna installation are:

F F F F In general, antennas should be located as high as practical on the vessel and separated as much as possible from each other. The VHF antenna should be placed in an elevated position with a mini-

mum of 2m clearance from any construction that is made with conductive material. In addition, it should not be installed close to any large vertical obstruction, and the VHF antenna should have a 360 line of sight to the horizon. It is preferable that the VHF antenna is installed at least 3m away from high power energy sources such as radar and other transmitting radio an-

tennas, and out of the transmitting beam. Ideally, there should not be more than one antenna on the same level. The AIS VHF antenna should be mounted directly above or below the ships primary VHF radiotelephone antenna, and with a minimum of 2m vertical separation. If the VHF antenna is located on the same level as other antennas, the distance between them should be at least 10 meters. To install the VHF antenna, perform the following:

(Refer to Figure 3--9 and Figure 3--10.)

(1) Position the antenna mounting bracket on a rigid and structurally sound sur-

face.

(2) Install the antenna on the antenna mount. NOTE:

Use only high quality RG213/RG214 coaxial cable and keep cable length as short as possible to reduce signal at-

tenuation.

(3) Run the coaxial cable from the antenna to the transponder location.

(4) Trim cable to length leaving a few inches slack at the transponder.

(5) Attach the connectors to the end of the coaxial cable.

(6) Connect the cables to the transponder. Soldering the connection is recommended. Rev. 06 Mar. 16/11 165M0014-10 Page 3--16 3.1.4. Installing the GPS Antenna Aviation Recorders Marine Systems The correct installation of a GPS antenna is crucial to the operation of the trans-

ponder because the internal transmission synchronization relies on the accuracy of the time signal obtained from the GPS. It is recommended that a high quality GPS antenna be purchased from an established source and that all manufactures instruc-

tions be followed with particular attention to cable routing and connector installation. Some important considerations in GPS antenna installation are:

F F F F F GPS antennas should be located to provide a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. GPS signals can be affected by RADAR and SATCOM transmissions. As such, GPS antennas should be positioned below and at least 5m away from RADAR and SATCOM antennas and outside of the beam path. GPS signals can also be affected negatively by VHF and HF transmis-

sions, and the GPS antenna should be positioned at least 3m from these types of antennas. The GPS antennas can be flat mounted onto any surface but it is recom-

mended that it be elevated from the deck surface (20--30cm) to prevent ice or spray from negatively impacting the signal reception. Recently, it has been identified that certain makes/models of TV antennas can drastically interfere with GPS reception. As such, the installer should place the GPS antenna as far away from any shipboard TV antennas as possible and confirm that any antennas used on board are not ones which have been exhibited GPS interference problems. To install the GPS antenna, perform the following:

(Refer to Figure 3--9 and Figure 3--10)

(1) Position the antenna mounting bracket and/or antenna mast on a rigid and structurally sound surface.

(2) Install the antenna on the antenna mount. NOTE:

Use only high quality RG213/RG214 coaxial cable and keep cable length as short as possible to reduce signal attenuation.

(3) Run the coaxial cable from the antenna to the transponder location through an existing throughhull.

(4) Trim cable to length leaving a few inches slack at the transponder.

(5) Attach the connectors to the end of the coaxial cable.

(6) Connect the cable to the transponder. Soldering the connection is recommended. 165M0014-10 Page 3--17 Rev. 06 Mar. 16/11 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems RG213/RG214 COAXIAL CABLE 100 FEET 30 METERS RG213/RG214 COAXIAL CABLE 30 FEET 9 METERS Figure 3--9.

Rev. 06 Mar. 16/11 165M0014-10 Page C--6 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems Automatic Identification System GENERAL This product and related documentation must be reviewed for familiarization with safety markings and instructions before operation. This board was constructed in an ESD (electrostatic discharge) protected environment. This is because most of the semiconductor devices used in this board are susceptible to damage by static discharge. Depending on the magnitude of the charge, device substrates can be punctured or destroyed by contact or mere proximity of a static charge. The results can cause degradation of device perfor-

mance, early failure, or immediate destruction. These charges are generated in numerous ways such as simple contact, separation of materials, and normal motions of persons working with static sensitive devices. When handling or servicing equipment containing static sensitive devices, adequate precautions must be taken to prevent device damage or destruction. Only those who are thoroughly familiar with industry accepted techniques for handling static sen-

sitive devices should attempt to service circuitry with these devices. In all instances, measures must be taken to prevent static charge buildup on work surfaces and persons handling the devices. 165M0014-10 Page C--7 Rev. 06 Mar. 16/11 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems Automatic Identification System THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.
