AIS Aid to Navigation

(AtoN) Type3 User Guide V1 English Weatherdock AG www.easyAIS.com Page 1 1 References General Warning All marine automatic identification system (AIS) units utilize a satellite based system such as the global positioning satellite (GPS) network or the global navigation satellite system (GLONASS) network to determine position. The accuracy of these networks 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. Therefore it is desirable wherever possible to verify both your vessels AIS derived position data and other vessels AIS derived position data with visual or radar based observations. The easyAtoN software is intended for use as an installation and configuration tool. The application is not a navigation tool and should not be used as such. Safety Warnings This equipment must be installed in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual. Failure to do so will seriously affect its performance and reliability. It is strongly recommended that a trained technician installs and configures this product. This equipment is intended as an aid to navigation and is not a replacement for proper navigational judgement. Information provided by the equipment must not be relied upon as accurate. User decisions based upon information provided by the equipment are done so entirely at the users own risk. The accuracy of a GNSS position fix is variable and affected by factors such as the antenna positioning, how many satellites are used to determine a position and for how long satellite information has been received. Please keep away from the VHF antenna, which is connected to the easyAtoN, when the device is powered on and is transmitting. The recommended distance is 20 cm and more, to avoid higher RF exposure to the human body. Warnings and Precautions If you use the easyAtoN for marking an aquaculture plant, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator of the easyAtoN to enter the correct position of the AtoN in the WGS84 coordinates. If the coordinates (LAT/LON) are wrong, the transmissions of the easyAtoN may cause dangerous situations or damages to other ships. Even if the coordinates are entered correctly, it might be possible that a ship damages the plant, because not all vessels carry AIS stations and therefore are not able to receive the aquaculture AtoN. It is a violation of the rules of the Federal Communications Commission to input an MMSI that has not been properly assigned to the end user, or to otherwise input any inaccurate data in this device. This device must be programmed with the data corresponding to the AtoN on which it will be installed. Programming must be carried out by a Weatherdock dealer. The included instructions contain information on how to verify the correct programming. Product category This product is categorized as exposed in accordance to IEC 62320-2:2017.

(6) User manual guide Figure 1 - scope of delivery Weatherdock AG www.easyAIS.com Page 6 5 Introduction 5.1 General Information about AIS AIS stands for Automatic Identification System. AIS increases navigational safety and collision avoidance by transmitting vessel identification, helping to reduce the difficulty of identifying ships when not in sight (e.g. at night, in radar blind arcs or shadows or at distance) by broadcasting navigational intentions to other vessels by providing ID, position, course, speed and other ship data with all other nearby ships and land based stations. According to IALA regulations, AIS is defined as follows:

AIS is a broadcast Transponder system, operating in the VHF maritime mobile band. It is capable of sending ship information such as identification, position, course, speed and more, to other ships and to shore. It can handle multiple reports at rapid update rates and to meet these high broadcast rates and ensure reliable and robust ship to ship operation. The IMO defines the performance standards as follows:

Ship to ship working, ship to shore working, including long range application, automatic and continuous operation, provision of information messaging via PC and utilization of maritime VHF channels The Modules:

GPS system, AIS Transponder, VHF Antenna, and the Data Power Cable and the appropriate application software. AIS are required to function flawlessly in a variety of modes. The relevant regulations requirements:

The system shall be capable of An "autonomous and continuous" mode for operation in all areas. This mode shall be capable of being switched to/from one of the following alternate modes by a competent authority;

An "assigned" mode for operation in an area subject to a competent authority responsible for traffic monitoring such that the data trans-mission interval and/or time slots may be set remotely by that authority;

A "polling or controlled" mode, where the data transfer occurs in response to interrogation from a ship or competent authority. This illustration depicts a typical AIS System, where two or more AIS equipped vessels (and shore based systems) are automatically communicating with each other. The following sketch shows a typical easyAtoN installation in a common environment. The easyAtoN is connected to an external power supply, and in connection with the VHF antenna the minimal requirements for Transponder operation are fulfilled. Due to Time Synchronization they use the same organization of free and allocated windows (Slots) in the shared VHF Data Link to send and receive messages. Without the necessity of any operating interaction, both vessels know exactly who or what is cruising nearby and where the individual object is heading. Class A transceivers these transceivers 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. Weatherdock AG www.easyAIS.com Page 7 Class B transceivers AIS base stations 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 are used by Vessel Traffic Systems to monitor and control the transmissions of AIS transceivers. Aids to Navigation (AtoN) transceivers AtoN 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 and AIS base stations but do not transmit any information about the vessel on which they are installed. Figure 2 - AIS general overview 5.2 AtoN general system overview AtoN (Aids- to-Navigation) are sending information presenting a buoy or sea-sign (e.g. beacons, cardinal mark, single danger mark, waterway marks, etc.). The AtoN-transmitters may be located at the buoy (real AtoN) or apart from the AtoN-position (synthetic or virtual AtoN). 5.3 Type 1 AIS AtoN A Type 1 AIS AtoN is a transmit-only device using the FATDMA (Fixed Access Time Division Multiple Access) access scheme. This requires that the AIS AtoN is configured with fixed AIS time slots in which it will transmit AIS messages. Mobile AIS stations operating in the area where a Type 1 AIS AtoN is installed need to be aware of the time slots allocated to the AIS AtoN. The slots allocated to the AIS AtoN are 'reserved' by AIS Base Station transmissions covering the area in which the AIS AtoN is installed. This mode of operation therefore requires that an AIS base station is operating in the same area as the AIS AtoN and is configured to make the necessary slot reservations. Weatherdock AG www.easyAIS.com Page 8 5.4 Type 3 AIS AtoN A Type 3 AIS AtoN has transmit and receive capability and can therefore use either the FATDMA or RATDMA

(Random Access Time Division Multiple Access) access schemes. The RATDMA scheme allows the AIS AtoN to internally allocate slots for transmission of AIS messages without reservation from an AIS Base Station. Optionally the AIS receive capability also allows a Type 3 AIS AtoN to be configured and queried for status via AIS messages sent from a shore station (known as VDL configuration). An extension of VDL configuration is

'Chaining' where configuration and query commands are passed along a 'chain' of AIS AtoN stations to a distant station beyond the range of direct communication with a shore station. This option is not yet implemented in easyAtoN!

The easyAtoN is an AIS Aid to Navigation (AtoN) transceiver type3. 5.5 GNSS Systems The easyAtoN unit includes an internal GNSS receiver to supply the GPS and GLONASS satellite navigation systems as standard. 5.6 AIS messages supported Message number Description Transmitted /

Msg. 21 (AtoN): 3 minutes (autonomous mode = default) Msg. 6, 8, 21 (AtoN): 10 seconds up to 1 day (assigned mode = special configuration) The easyAtoN is able to incorporate virtual AtoN (i.e. transmitter location is different from the AtoN position). Up to eight1 virtual AtoN can be realized with one easyAtoN. Each of these virtual AtoN has got the same reporting rate of 3 minutes (autonomous) or can be changed to different intervals (assigned). 1 Up to 31 virtual / synthetic AtoN possible on request. Weatherdock AG www.easyAIS.com Page 10 6 Installation 6.1 Mounting Figure 4 - easyAtoN - connectors and plugs The VHF antenna should be mounted on a high position of the structure (e.g. buoy). It should not be mounted in parallel or in front of metal parts; these would lower the radiated VHF signal power and reduce the range of the AtoN. Weatherdock AG www.easyAIS.com Page 11 6.2 Drilling Mask Figure 5 - easyAtoN drilling mask Weatherdock AG www.easyAIS.com Page 12 Flat mounting:

6.3 VHF Antenna When mounting the easyAtoN, pay attention to the mounting direction because of the internal GNSS antenna. In case of using an external GPS antenna connected to the easyAtoN, you are free in mounting. Wall mounting:

X Mounting the easyAtoN on top of a horizontal surface, as lying on a table, is also possible. Any VHF marine band antenna covering the marine band (156.025 .. 162.025 MHz), which is designed for VHF marine band voice communication and AIS transponder operation can be used. The coaxial cable of the antenna must have a connector type: N female. It is recommended to mount the antenna as high as possible with free visibility in horizontal plane to get high range. 6.4 easyAtoN connectors / Interfaces Input: 4x input lines logic levels (read light fault, lights on, Racon fault data) Output: 1 (open drain) transistor, 1,8A at up to 32VDC or relay drive Communication ports: 1 USB, 3 NMEA in, 3 NMEA out (RS422 or RS232) VHF connector antenna: N female Power supply: Amphenol circular connector 6.5 Power and transceiver interface connector PIN ID Signal name Function and Notes 1 2 3 4 5 6 12VDC / 24VDC Ground -

This is the physically existing transponder. In the table at the bottom of the form two schedules are implemented. The first with the Index 0 is the on-position reporting and schedule index 1 is used, when the AtoN is off-position, which means it is drifting and has moved outside the Of Position Threshold. The off position schedule can be turned off un-checking the Off Position Alternate Msg. checkbox. You can optionally add binary messages (i.e. Msg. 6 (addressed) or Msg. 8 (broadcast) with a pre-defined text, which can entered in the table. 7.4 Synthetic AtoN configuration A synthetic AtoN is a real existing sea mark where no AIS AtoN unit can be mounted onto. To realize that the origin position information of this sea mark is transmitted into the AIS traffic data, the easyAtoN can be programmed with this position information to broadcast on behalf of the sea mark. Virtual AtoN configuration With Add you can configure new Virtual AtoNs. The parameter set is equal to the real AtoN. As the virtual AtoN have got normally another position than the real AtoN, you must set the Type of EPFS from GPS to Surveyed Position. Msg. 21 of this virtual AtoN will send the position entered manually in this form. 8 Spec / Technical Data Description Value 195mm * 135mm * 60mm (L*W*H) General Dimensions Weight Operating temperature Storage temperature Safety distance compass Power Specification Board voltage Operating voltage range Input Current consumption GNSS Specification 700 grams

EXCELLENCE IN RADIO TECHNOLOGIES Safety e Navigation Tracking Statement on AIS Operational-Test of easyAtoN To Federal Communications Commission (FCC), FCC-ID: ZOSWDC-A20004 We, Weatherdock AG declare, that our product easyAtoN (AIS Aids-to-Navigation) is using software modules which were developed and tested in previous generations of our AIS transponders (i.e easyTRX2 and easyTRX3). The test laboratory BSH (Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency, Germany) did all the AIS operational tests of all generations of our AIS transponders. These tests concern the behavior of the software within the AIS network, which does not have any effect or impact on the radio frequency

(RF) parameters. In the AIS Operational-Test-Report BSH/454.AlS-Aton/Weatherdock easyAtoN/001 BSH waived some of the test cases, which were already tested by previous generations of Weatherdock AIS-

transponders declared to have the identical software modules concerning that particular test case. To provide consistent documentation of all AIS operational test cases, all three BSH-Test-Reports are filed for FCC approval. 1. BSH/454.AIS-Aton/Weatherdock easyAtoN/001 // AlS-transponder: easyAtoN

. BSH/4542/001/4323111/18-1 // AlS-transponder: easyTRX3 3. BSH/46162/4320939/08/S3140 // AlS-transponder: easyTRX2 Jurgen Zimmermann (CTO) Nuremberg, 2020-09-17 Weatherdock AG Emmericher StraBe 17 90411 Nirnberg Tel. +49(0) 911 - 37663830 Fax +49(0) 911 37663840 Statement on Operational-Test Report 200917.docx info@weatherdock.de Page 1 17.09.2020

EXCELLENCE IN RADIO TECHNOLOGIES Safety e Navigation Tracking Statement on Tune-Up of easyAtoN To whom it may concern, We, Weatherdock AG declare, that our product easyAtoN (AIS Aids-to-Navigation) does not need any tune-up facilities in production to match the required performance standard IEC 62320-2 (AtoN). The easyAtoN incorporates a TCXO (temperature stabilized crystal oscillator) driving a Synthesizer-

PLL to fulfil the requirements on frequency and modulation accuracy within the 25 kHz channels withing the maritime band.
