A Page 7 1 Product Overview Figure 1- AIS Network Introduction 1.1 An Automatic Identification System (AIS) is an automatic tracking system used on ships for identifying and locating vessels in a geographical area by electronically exchanging data with other nearby ships and AIS base stations that are located on the shore. AIS information enhances marine radar, which is the primary method of collision avoidance for marine transport. An AIS-equipped system on board a ship presents the bearing and distance of nearby vessels in a radar-like display format. Information provided by AIS equipment, such as unique identification, position, course, and speed is displayed on a screen such as an Electronic Chart Display (ECDIS). AIS is intended to assist a vessel's navigation officers and allow maritime authorities to track and monitor vessel movements. AIS integrates a standardized VHF transceiver with a positioning system such as a GPS receiver, with other electronic navigation sensors, such as a gyrocompass or rate of turn 165M2040-10 Rev. A Page 8
(ROT) indicator. Vessels fitted with AIS transceivers can be tracked by AIS base stations located along coast lines or, when out of range of terrestrial networks, through satellites that are fitted with special AIS receivers. The International Maritime Organization's International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) requires AIS to be fitted aboard international voyaging ships with a gross tonnage of 300 or more, and all passenger ships regardless of size. Types of AIS 1.2 There are several types of AIS devices:
Class A transceivers - These are designed to be fitted to commercial 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 more frequently. Class A transceivers are mandatory on all vessels over 300 gross tons on international voyages and certain types of passenger vessels under the SOLAS mandate. 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 usually land based and used by Vessel Traffic Systems to monitor and control the transmissions of AIS transceivers. They may be installed stand alone or integrated into a network for data gathering and analysis. Aids to Navigation (AtoN) transceivers - AtoN's are transceivers mounted on buoys or other hazards to shipping which transmit details of their location to the surrounding vessels. AIS receivers - AIS receivers receive transmissions from Class A transceivers, Class B transceivers, AtoN's and AIS base stations but do not transmit any information about the vessel on which they are installed. Airborne AIS - These transceivers are installed in Search and Rescue
(SAR) fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft and can receive AIS messages at much longer distances while at altitude. 165M2040-10 Rev. A Page 9 1.3 System Overview The L-3 PROTEC is an Automatic Identification System fully compliant with the IMO specifications. The Transceiver has been developed using the latest Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology and employs Self Organized Time Division Multiple Access (SOTDMA) and DSC controller schemes to provide a high performance, automated and reliable identification system for commercial mariners. The Transceiver is a fully automated system which ties into ships navigational instruments to provide automatic transmission of ships identity, status, and maneuvering intentions via standard marine VHF communication techniques. Sequencing of transmission between all vessels within VHF range is provided through SOTDMA controlling software to handle high traffic volume situations. The Transceiver 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 Transceiver is to change the ships Vessel/Voyage data as required. The compact, single-box design allows the L-3 PROTEC to be easily incorporated into any bridge layout thus simplifying 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, training, and techniques, therefore, such PWAs are not field-repairable. 165M2040-10 Rev.

A Page 16 Basic PROTEC Installation 2 The transceiver is designed for easy installation into any existing bridge layout. It may be installed in several configurations including flush or trunnion mount as a
"one box" system or the transceiver may be connected by a cable to a remote MKD in either a flush or trunnion mount. A typical system and connection diagram is shown in Figure 5. 2.1 The main elements of the installation are:

A Page 17 Figure 4 - Integrated MKD Shown With Flush and Trunnion Mounting 2.1.1 Mount the Transceiver and MKD The PROTEC can be installed in a trunnion bracket or in a flush mount bracket. Ensure that the unit is installed with adequate clearance to all connectors on the rear of the unit. If a trunnion bracket is used, the mount itself can be used as a template to mark the screw holes on the mounting surface. to any nearby compass. The PROTEC is certified for a "compass safe distance" of one meter. Install the unit at least one meter away from any compass used for navigation. Note: Consideration must be given to the location of the PROTEC relative 165M2040-10 Rev. A Page 18 Figure 5 - AIS Interconnection Diagram (Optional interfaces not shown) 165M2040-10 Rev.

ApplicationECDISShip Sensor (Input)Ship Sensor (Input)Ship Sensor (Input) 2.1.2 Mount the Junction Box or Terminal Strip A junction box or terminal strip is one method to connect the NMEA data output from a ship sensor (DGPS, ROT, SOG, Heading, and Gyro). They allow flexibility in completing the connection to the ships sensors which may not have compatible pin-outs. Position the terminal block or junction box with the following considerations:
Locate within 2.5 meters (100 inches) of the transceiver, which is mandated by IEC Can be easily accessed in order to make connections for the input and output feeds Protected from weather and high heat Protected from accidental contact with conductive material Provides grounding of the terminal block to the ships structure 2.1.3 Connect Ships Sensors and Data Interfaces The PROTEC transceiver has seven NMEA0183 (IEC61162-1 / IEC61162-2) data ports for connection of ships sensors and display equipment. There are three input ports for ships sensor data and four bidirectional ports for connection of display equipment such as Radar, ECDIS, PC or multifunction displays. It is recommended that an AIS compatible display as mentioned above is connected to the transceiver for the display of AIS targets. To comply with IMO regulations the AIS must be connected to speed over ground (SOG), course over ground (COG), heading (HDG), rate of turn (ROT) and position information sources. All data input connections are optically isolated. BAUD rates are configurable for all channels through the front panel menus. BAUD rates are: 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 and 115200.

Figure 9 - Sample Alarm Setup 2.1.6 Install the VHF Antenna When installing the VHF Antenna, consider the following:
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 minimum of 2 meters of clearance from anything that is made with conductive material. The antenna should have a 360 degree line of sight to the horizon, free of all large, vertical obstructions. It is preferable that the VHF antenna is installed at least 3 meters away from high power energy sources, such as radar and other transmitting radio antennas. The antenna must be out of the transmitting beam. Ideally, there should not be more than one antenna on the same horizontal level. The VHF antenna should be mounted directly above or below the ships primary VHF radio/telephone antenna, with a minimum of 2 meters of 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. The VHF antenna cable should be kept as short as possible to minimize signal loss. High quality, low loss coaxial cable should be used. Note: Use only high quality RG213/RG214 coaxial cable to reduce signal attenuation. 165M2040-10 Rev. A Page 24 Figure 10 - VHF Antenna Installation To install the VHF antenna:
Follow the antenna manufacturers' installation instructions. Position the antenna mounting bracket on a rigid and structurally sound surface. Install the antenna on the antenna mount. Run the coaxial cable from the antenna to the transceiver. Trim the cable to the proper length leaving a few extra inches at the transceiver. Terminate both ends of the cable with the proper connectors. A PL-259 coaxial connector should be used for connection to the transceiver. WARNING Do not approach the antenna closer than listed below when it is transmitting. The antenna emits radio waves that can be harmful to the human body.

A Distance N/A 0.04 m 0.09 m Page 25 2.1.7 Connect the GPS Antenna The internal GPS receiver provides timing data required to synchronize transmissions. The ships position information is fed to the Transceiver in NMEA format from the ships External Electronic Position Indicating System through the IEC data cable. The internal GPS requires that a dedicated GPS antenna be mounted on the superstructure and the appropriate connections are made to the back panel of the Transceiver. The correct installation of a GPS antenna is crucial to the operation of the Transceiver, because the synchronization of transmissions relies on the accuracy of the time signal obtained from the GPS. When installing the GPS Antenna, consider the following issues. The GPS antenna should have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. Since GPS signals can be affected by RADAR and SATCOM transmissions, the GPS antenna should be positioned at least 5 meters away from RADAR and SATCOM antennas. It should be placed outside of the beam path. GPS signals can be affected negatively by radio transmissions, so the GPS antenna should be positioned at least 3 meters from them. To prevent ice or spray from negatively affecting signal reception, the GPS antenna can be mounted flat onto any surface, but it is recommended that it be elevated from the deck surface by 20 to 30 centimeters. Certain makes and models of TV antennas can drastically interfere with GPS reception. Be careful to place the GPS antenna as far away from shipboard TV antennas as possible, and make sure that antennas used on board do not exhibit GPS interference problems. attenuation. Note: Use only high quality RG213/RG214 coaxial cable to reduce signal 165M2040-10 Rev. A Page 26 Figure 11 - GPS Antenna Installation To install the GPS antenna:
Follow the antenna manufacturers' installation instructions. Position the antenna mounting bracket on a rigid and structurally sound surface. Install the antenna on the antenna mount. Run the coaxial cable from the antenna to the transceiver. Trim the cable to the proper length leaving a few extra inches at the transceiver. Terminate both ends of the cable with the proper connectors. A male TNC coaxial connector should be used for connection to the transceiver. 165M2040-10 Rev.

If the cable is not terminated with its characteristic impedance, reflections will distort the signal waveforms. A switchable termination resistor is integrated at the receiver input to provide proper termination to the data bus. This is ideal for use in networks where grounds can take on different voltages. Isolation in the circuitry blocks high voltage differences and eliminates ground loops and is extremely tolerant of common mode transients between ground potentials. The circuitry also mitigates the adverse effects of imperfect transmission line termination caused by stubs or mismatched cables. For normal installations where cable runs are relatively short and the cable networks are simple this termination is not needed and should be left at the default (disabled) setting. 165M2040-10 Rev. A Page 68 To enable the termination, arrow over to the desired IEC channel. Press ENT to activate the field and press any arrow toggle through the two settings.

A Page 74 Antennas 5 Data sheets on the recommended external antennas are included here. 5.1 VHF MODEL VHF-159 HD ANTENNA The Morad Heavy Duty (HD) Marine VHF Antenna is designed to give years of optimum performance under the most severe weather and vibration conditions. Due to its excellent propagation pattern and low angle of radiation, clipping and fading are minimized. The design of this antenna enables it to consistently outperform its competitors. Use of a larger diameter rod, instead of a small wire, decreases resistive losses and provides an increased radiating surface. The Model VHF-159 HD is base fed through a PL-259 UHF connector and a 50 OHM coaxial cable and can be mounted on any Morad 1" diameter stanchion for extra height. The antenna body is 1.5" o.d. painted aluminum tube and has a high tensile strength stainless steel tip.
