DSC (Digital Selective Calling) Digital Selective Calling offers significant safety and convenience advantages over older VHF radios without this functionality. A valid USER MMSI must be entered into this radio before DSC functions can be used. Many countries do not have radio repeaters that support DSC message relaying. However DSC can still be useful for direct ship-to-
ship communication, where the other vessel is also equipped with a DSC capable radio. DSC distress calls generated by this radio are limited to the same range restrictions that apply to regular VHF transmissions. The vessel sending a distress can only rely upon DSC if within range of a GMDSS Coast Radio Station. Typical VHF range may be about 20NM, though this varies greatly depending upon installation, antenna type, meteorological conditions, etc. ATIS (Automatic Transmitter Identification System) ATIS is required for vessels making VHF transmissions whilst on the inland waterways of the Regional Arrangement Concerning the Radiotelephone Service on Inland Waterways (RAINWAT) signatory countries. RAINWAT is an agreement to implement common principles and rules for the safe carriage of people and goods on Inland Waterways. The signatory countries are: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Moldova, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Serbia, the Slovak Republic and Switzerland. Where a VHF is required on the inland waterways of the signatory countries, this must be capable of ATIS transmissions, and have the feature activated. 8 |
| V60/V60-B User Guide The use of ATIS is prohibited outside the European inland waterways covered by the Basel Agreement. MMSI and ATIS ID The user MMSI (Marine Mobile Service Identity) is a unique nine digit number. It is used on marine transceivers that are capable of using DSC (Digital Selective Calling). An MMSI remains with a vessel, even if the vessel is sold on. Your vessel MMSI must be assigned to you by an approved authority. It is illegal to use a self-assigned (made up) MMSI number. A Group Call ID begins with 0 followed by 8 numeric digits
(0xxxxxxxx).
(00xxxxxxx). A Coast Station MMSI begins with 00 followed by 7 numeric digits By law, you are not able to change your MMSI once it is entered into the radio. This is why there is the confirmation screen when entering the MMSI. If you need to have the MMSI in the radio changed, the radio must be taken back to your B&G dealer. An ATIS ID is only required in certain EU countries when navigating some inland waterways. It is usually a different number to your MMSI. Your ATIS ID must be assigned to you by an approved authority. AIS CLASS-B Safety Warning (V60-B only) Warning: The AIS transceiver in this V60-B radio 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. Also, take note that not all vessels will have an AIS transceiver turned on, or installed. 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. Important information for US customers There are specific laws in the USA regarding the configuration of AIS class B transceivers. If you are a US resident and intend to use your AIS class B transceiver in US waters, you should make sure that your retailer has configured your product prior to supplying it to you. If your AIS transceiver has not been pre-configured, please contact your dealer for details of how to have it configured.

Radio menus | V60/V60-B User Guide 3 DSC call menu DSC (Digital Selective Calling) is a semi-automated method of establishing VHF, MF, and HF radio calls. One big advantage that DSC enabled radios offer is that they can receive calls from another DSC radio without being on the same channel as the calling radio. The calling radio will provide details on what channel to switch to so that voice communication can be established. There are various types of DSC calls - the type of call made determines information sent with the call, and how other radios respond to the incoming call. Short press the DSC button for the following options:
DSC Calls Track Buddy Contacts list DSC calls There are four call types, as well as related options, that can be accessed from this menu. Individual Used to place a call to a single other vessel. The call can be initiated by selected an existing vessel in the CONTACTS; by entering in a new vessels MMSI (MANUAL); or by selecting a vessel in the RECENT list. When the SEND TO page is displayed, turn the channel knob to select the channel to use for voice communication. Distress The distress menu can be accessed via the DSC Calls menu, or directly by a short press of the Distress key on the front of the radio. The nature of the distress call must be selected from the list of options - this will be displayed on other radios receiving the call. After the Distress Call is sent, the radio waits for an acknowledgment. DSC call menu | V60/V60-B User Guide
| 39 The Distress Call is automatically re-sent every 3.5 to 4.5 minutes until a distress acknowledgement is received. Alternatively the operator can select:
RESEND (under OPTION - access by pressing the Menu/DSC button) used to immediately resend the Distress Call. PAUSE (under OPTION - access by pressing the Menu/DSC button) used to pause the automatic Distress Call resend timer. CANCEL (press X button) to cancel the Distress Call. If a distress cancel is sent, the display shows PTT --> REASON, prompting the operator to state the reason for the cancellation. After a DISTRESS ACK is received, the alert should be silenced, and the reason for distress should be clearly stated, pressing the PTT on the MIC and talking. The following information (if available) is contained in the Distress Call:
Nature Of Distress (if selected). Position information (the latest GPS or manual input position is held for 23.5 hours, or until the power is turned OFF). Group Used to place a call to a known group of vessels, all using the same Group Call ID (GCID) number. The call can be initiated by selecting an existing group from the group list, by entering a new GCID, or by selecting a group from the RECENT list. When the SEND TO page is displayed, turn the channel knob to select the channel to use for voice communication. 40 |

! Warning: Valid GPS data must be entered into this radio before the AIS functions can be used. The plotter PPI function will not display targets accurately with incorrect GPS data. Class A 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 Positioning System (GPS) and communication between vessels is by Very High Frequency (VHF) digital transmissions. There are a number of types of AIS device as follows:
Vessel-mounted AIS transceiver (transmit and receive) which operates using SOTDMA. Targeted at large commercial vessels, SOTDMA requires a transceiver to maintain a constantly updated slot map in its memory such that it has prior knowledge of slots which are available for it to transmit. SOTDMA transceivers will then pre-announce their transmission, effectively reserving their transmit slot. SOTDMA transmissions are therefore prioritised within the AIS system. This is achieved through 2 receivers in continuous operation. Class As must have an integrated display, transmit at 12.5 W, interface capability with multiple ship systems, and offer a sophisticated selection of features and functions. Default transmit rate is every few seconds. AIS Class A type compliant devices receive all types of AIS Class B Vessel-mounted AIS transceiver (transmit and receive) which operates using either carrier-sense time-division multiple-access
(CSTDMA) or SOTDMA; there are now 2 separate IMO specifications for Class B. Aimed at lighter commercial and leisure markets. CSTDMA transceivers listen to the slot map immediately prior to transmitting and seek a slot where the noise in the slot is the same or similar to background noise, thereby indicating that the slot is not being used by another AIS device. Class Bs transmit at 2 W and are not required to have an integrated display: Class Bs can be connected to most display systems where the received messages will be displayed in lists or overlaid on charts. Default transmit rate is normally every 30 seconds, but this can be varied according to 44 |
AIS menu | V60/V60-B User Guide vessel speed or instructions from base stations. The Class B type standard requires integrated GPS and certain indicators. Class B equipment receives all types of AIS messages. AIS base station AIS base stations are used by Vessel Traffic Systems to monitor and control the transmissions of AIS transceivers. Aids to Navigation (AtoN) transceiver AtoNs are transceivers mounted on buoys or other hazards to shipping which transmit details of their location to the surrounding vessels. AIS receiver AIS receivers will generally receive transmissions from class A transceivers, class B transceivers, AtoNs and AIS base stations, but do not transmit any information about the vessel on which they are installed. The V60 radio contains an AIS receiver only function. The V60-B radio contains an AIS Class-B CS transceiver. AIS receiver function (V60 and V60-B) Providing that other vessels with AIS transceivers installed are within radio range of your vessel, you should see their details appear on the AIS plotter screen. These details are also repeated on the NMEA ports for display on a compatible chartplotter / MFD. Specific details of how to configure your chartplotter to make use of the AIS receiver features will be given in your chartplotter manual. If you are using charting software running on a PC, please refer to the instructions provided with your chartplotting software for details of how to configure it to display AIS information. AIS transmitter function (V60-B) The AIS Class-B transmit function requires a separate VHF antenna to be installed and connected to the AIS antenna socket on the rear of the radio. See installation details in Connect the radio wiring on page 59. Once AIS has been configured, it is ready for use. The AIS icon will change as follows:

The radio is recessed into a cavity, showing only the face of the radio. The radio fixture is permanent and the viewing angle cannot be adjusted. Selecting a suitable mounting location Whichever installation method you choose, please check the following before doing any cutting or drilling. The chosen location must:
Be at least 1 m (3) from the VHF antenna. Allow easy access to the rear of the radio for connection to the 12 V DC electrical source, the antenna and any network wiring. Be at least 45 cms (1.5) from a compass to avoid creating magnetic Have a suitable space close by for installing the microphone deviation of the compass. bulkhead mount. Provide easy access to the controls on the front panel. If intending to use the built-in GPS antenna, it must be in a location that provides optimal GPS performance, see Built-in GPS considerations on page 56. Viewing angle The VHF radio has a large LCD screen with the optimum horizontal and vertical viewing angles within approx. +/-20 deg. Ensure the chosen location provides a suitable view of the display. Ideally, the user should be directly in front of the display or no more than +/-20 deg from the front of the display. Note: If unsure, temporarily power up the radio and ensure the location is suitable. 20 20 20 20 Installation | V60/V60-B User Guide
| 55 Built-in GPS considerations 1. The built-in GPS antenna is mounted in the front face of this radio above the speaker grill. 2. If you intend to use the built-in GPS Antenna in this radio, you must ensure a suitable mounting location that allows optimal GPS performance. 3. There must not be any metallic or large obstacles in the path between the radio and the sky. The more obstacles in the way, the weaker the GPS signal getting to the antenna. 4. If the radio is mounted in an alloy or ferrous boat, or below decks, then an external GPS antenna is recommended. Seek professional guidance if unsure. Bracket installation The gimbal bracket provides an adjustable viewing angle with a 20 tilt range, so ensure the selected mounting location will provide the desired viewing and operating conditions:
1. Hold the bracket at the chosen location and use a soft pencil to mark the screw hole positions onto the mounting surface. 2. Use a 3 mm (1/8 ) drill bit to drill the 4 pilot holes. 3.

| 57 Install the external GPS-500 Antenna (optional) It is not recommended that the GPS antenna is mounted up a mast where the motion of the vessel will cause the antenna to swing and potentially reduce the accuracy of the GPS position. Do not mount the GPS antenna within 1 m of a transmitting device. Mount the GPS-500 to either a pole or hard surface then run the cable to the transceiver. In all cases, ensure the selected location enables the antenna to have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. To pole mount the external GPS-500 antenna, you will require a 1-inch 14 TPI thread pole:
Screw the pole adapter onto the threaded portion of the pole. Feed the cable attached to the GPS antenna through the adapter and pole. Mount the pole into position. Fit the GPS antenna to the pole adapter using the 2 small screws. To surface mount the external GPS-500 antenna, select a flat clean surface area that has a clear view of the sky. Mount the antenna using the supplied gasket and the 2 small screws:
Mark and drill the 2 mounting holes and a further hole if necessary for the GPS cable. Install the gasket by firstly threading the attached cable through the centre of the gasket. Screw the GPS antenna to the mounting surface. Note: Ensure the surface mounting area is clean with no dirt, old paint or debris. Run the GPS cable to the transceiver:
58 |
Installation | V60/V60-B User Guide Route the cable to your VHF transceiver unit, adding any necessary extension cables. Connect the cable from the GPS antenna to the GPS connector
(SMA) on the VHF transceiver as shown below. Connect the radio wiring All wiring on the radio should be done with the vessel power supply turned off. While radio power is polarity protected, the fuse will blow if the connection is made the wrong way round. Ensure any unused bare wires are isolated from each other, to prevent the potential of a short circuit. If using the NMEA 2000 connection, ensure network topology rules are followed closely.
