ment. 4 Product and Performance Description 4.1 Use for intended purpose Der easyONE-DSCCL ist ein tragbarer, batteriebetriebener AIS MOB / DSC Seenot-Sender mit integriertem GPS/GNSS-Emp-

fnger. Das Gert ist fr die Verwendung in einer automati-

schen Rettungsweste vorgesehen. Die Variante easyONE-DSCCL

(A10901) verfgt neben der manuellen Auslsung, eine Auslse-

automatik per Wasserkontakt. Die Variante easyONE-M-DSCCL

(A10902) kann nur manuell ausgelst werden. Das Gert ist ohne zustzliche Hilfsmittel schwimmfhig. Der AIS/DSC Seenotsender easyONE-DSCCL dient in einer Notfall-

Situation zur direkten Benachrichtigung mittels:

AIS: All AIS receivers within transmission range of the AIS MOB (8 x per minute, position update every min.) Seite 6 Weatherdock AG www.easyAIS.com DSC Closed Loop: Only pre-programmed MMSIs of DSC re-

ceivers within range (Every 5 minutes for the first 30 minutes, then every 10 minutes) DSC Open Loop: All DSC receivers within range of the transmitter (possible for one time) These recipients get information about the event of a distress situation as well as the current position. A transmission of position report in DSC closed loop is possible to up to 8 different MMSIs, if they are already programmed into the easyONE-DSCCL device (programming can be done easily with an iOS or Android device via Bluetooth) A position report transmission in DSC open loop can be trig-

gered manually once by pressing the TEST button for 5 seconds during ALERT mode.

=> Responsible regulating authority can provide country spe-

cific information if DSC open loop is allowed in your area. The easyONE-DSCCL device is compliant to the world wide used AIS System (Automatic Identification System) and DSC radio sys-

tem (Digital Selective Call). Seite 7 Weatherdock AG www.easyAIS.com 5 Product overview 1. Bottom section housing 2. Upper section 3. Antenna flap 4. Alarm flap 5. Antenna 6. Antenna winding head 7.

Parallel to the AIS Signal a DSC distress call is broadcasted.

(only to pre-programmed MMSI numbers)

(more functionality see chap. 5.1) information for alert Seite 9 Weatherdock AG www.easyAIS.com 6.3 TEST button The device can be activated for an electrical function test by pressing the TEST button (7). In addition to the AIS test message an one-

time DSC distress call is sent to all pre-

programmed MMSI numbers. The red LED FLARE is also activated once. During test transmission the red LEDs are blinking. 6.4 Antenna The antenna (5) is rolled up in the upper section of the transmitter. Its locked by a water soluble pill (12) and the alarm and antenna flap. When the antenna flap (3) was trig-

gered upon water contact or the alarm flap (4) was removed manu-

ally the antenna unfolds inde-

pendently. The device activates au-

tomatically upon water contact without requiring user intervention. Weatherdock AG www.easyAIS.com Seite 10 7 Operation The easyONE-DSCCL is floatable without any floatation aids. During heavy sea the floating AIS MOB easyONE-DSCCL may take a longer time to get the position infor-

mation by GPS/GNSS. The best AIS transmitter and GPS/GNSS receiver performance will be achieved by holding the distress transmitter with your hands as far away from the water as possible. LED display FLASH-LED (11) + red FLARE LEDs (12) flash-

ing GPS-Status-LED (10) permanently on Operating status Device is transmitting Current position is being determined GPS-Status-LED (10) flashing GPS/GNSS signal is perfect. The posi-

tion is continously being determined Seite 11 Weatherdock AG www.easyAIS.com 7.1 ALERT 7.1.1 Automatic Activation (only A10901) The AIS/DSC MOB easyONE-DSCCL is designed for carrying it in an automatic life jacket. If falling into the water, the life jacket opens and the floating body inflates due to the water contact. As a result, the transmitter gets into the water and the an-

tenna is released. If the antenna is unfolded, two contacts are exposed through which the transmitter activates inde-

pendently upon concurrent water contact. The white FLASH LED (11) and the yellow GPS Status LED (10) are indicating the operating status. IMPORTANT: Only the easyONE-DSCCL (A10901) can be trig-

gered automatically. 7.1.2 Manual Activation For manual activation, the alarm flap (4) is torn off from the device by using the yellow seizing (9). As a result the rolled up and taut antenna (5) can unfold. The ON button (8) is now exposed and can be pressed in order to trigger the emergency signal. When activating manually, keep the device away from your face!

IMPORTANT: The easyONE-M-DSCCL (A10902) can only be trig-

gered manually. Weatherdock AG www.easyAIS.com Seite 12 7.1.3 Functionality AIS Upon an automatic or manual activation of the AIS MOB easy-

ONE-DSCCL in an emergency, an AIS signal is generated which is received by all ships in the proximity that are equipped with an AIS receiver. This distress signal includes:

Unique serial number of the device (MMSI) Navigational Status 14 (AIS Search and Rescue Transmitter Current GPS/GNSS position information Current COG and SOG Text message MOB ACTIVE active) Usually the easyONE-DSCCL is displayed like an AIS S.A.R.T. as a circle symbol on the electronic display / chart

(System update of display / chart may be necessary):

On earlier systems, it appears as a ship symbol:

The 9-digit Unit-ID (MMSI) of the easyONE-DSCCL, beginning with 972.... and a safety Message (SRM) MOB ACTIVE are displayed and an audible and/or visual alarm is triggered, re-

spectively. Seite 13 Weatherdock AG www.easyAIS.com DSC Closed Loop Within seconds after the activation a first DSC alerting of all pre-

programmed MMSI numbers is send out in closed loop mode. This transmission contains the unit ID of the distress transmitter, but no position information details because there is still no fix with the satellite. As soon as the position fix is established, a next DSC distress call in closed loop is transmitted to all (up to eight) numbers on the list with current position. This DSC broadcast will be repeated after 5 minutes, later on every 10 minutes. DSC Open Loop Country-specific regulations have to be observed by the user, as the activation of the DSC Open Loop is an alarm in the GMDSS rescue chain!

Please note in addition that a DSC emergency call, but even a false triggering, can trigger a charge. Handle the device with care to avoid false alarms!

Pressing the ON button for more than 5 seconds will trigger an one-time DSC open loop transmission which can be received by every DSC system within range. As an acknowledgement for this, the red FLARE LEDs will flash for a second. This single one-time DSC open loop distress call will not inter-

fere other functionalities of the AIS MOB unit Weatherdock AG www.easyAIS.com Seite 14 easyONE-DSCCL. After this broadcast this unit will fall back into DSC closed loop distress call automatically. Persistent AIS trans-

mission will be done parallel. Red LED FLARE In event of triggering AIS and DSC emergency transmission, the strong red LEDs of the electronical safety FLARE start flashing within same clock rate as the white flash LEDs do. The FLARE will flash every 2 seconds. As longer the AIS MOB is in alert mode, the flashing time reduces but the intervall will stay at every 2 seconds. Seite 15 Weatherdock AG www.easyAIS.com 7.2 TEST-Function (MOB TEST) Please check the transmitting function of the AIS MOB easyONE-DSCCL on a regular basis. An annual or semi-annual test is usually sufficient. Too frequent testing reduces battery capac-

ity. The battery is designed for 7 years and more than 30 test activations. The antenna mechanism does not have to be triggered for the function test!

Carrying out the test:

Leave the antenna rolled up inside the device. Press the TEST button (7) and make sure that the easyONE-

DSCCL has a clear view tot he sky in ordert o have good GNSS reception conditions. As a sign that the test mode has been started, the FLASH LED

(11) and GPS Status LED (10) light up for one second. Subse-

quently the GPS Status LED (10) is permanently on. Once a position information is received, the GPS Status LED (10) starts flashing. The easyONE-DSCCL start sending a bundle of AIS messages with the content MOB TEST. You can check the transmission of the AIS MOB easyONE-

DSCCL by using commercially available AIS receivers which needs to be connected to a chart plotter or laptop with nav-

igation software. Usually the easyONE-DSCCL is displayed like an AIS S.A.R.T. as a circle symbol on the electronic display. Weatherdock AG www.easyAIS.com Seite 16 On earlier systems, it appears as a ship symbol. The 9-digit Unit-ID (MMSI) of the easyONE-DSCCL, beginning with 972.... and a safety Message (SRM) MOB TEST are dis-

played and an audible and/or visual alarm is triggered. In addition to the AIS telegrams, a DSC telegram is sent to the optionally programmed MMSI numbers. The DSC transmission takes place immediately after switch-

ing on without position. AIS transmission with position only after position fix. The DSC transmission can be checked with a DSC enabled ra-

dio. As information, the 9-digit Unit-ID (MMSI) of the easyONE-DSCCL, starting with 972 ..... and the message TEST CALL is displayed. After a successful test, the device switches itself off. If, for any reason (barrier by large buildings; no clear view to the sky), a GPS/GNSS position cannot be received, the de-

vice sends after five minutes a bundle of AIS telegrams with-

out a position and switches off automatically. The test mode may be terminated early by pressing the TEST button (7) (for more than 3 seconds). The LEDs stop flashing and the device switches off. Seite 17 Weatherdock AG www.easyAIS.com At the end of test mode, before the unit is switching off au-

tomatically, the LEDs will display the test result:

GPS-LED (10) display Test result GPS status LED glows The reception was OK. A position was determined. GPS status LED flashes No GPS/GNSS position could be determined within the first five minutes of testing time. FLASH-LED (11) display Test result Flash LEDs glowing The battery life is OK (> 24 h) The battery life is 50% (> 12 h) The battery life is only 25% (> 6 h) Flash LEDs glowing

Federal Communications Commission DA 19-1251 Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of WEATHERDOCK AG Request for Waiver to Permit Equipment Authorization and Use of a Maritime Survivor Locating Device with Open Loop Alerting WT Docket No. 19-281

) ORDER Adopted: December 9, 2019 By the Deputy Chief, Mobility Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:

Released: December 10, 2019 1. Introduction. This Order grants a request filed by Weatherdock AG (Weatherdock) for waiver of the Commissions rules to permit the equipment authorization and use of its easyONE Maritime Survivor Locating Device (MSLD) that incorporates open loop alerting in compliance with the most recent Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services (RTCM) standard.1 2. Background. An MSLD is a small portable transmitter that is intended to aid in the location of persons in the water.2 MSLDs can be worn on or as part of a garment or life jacket, and are intended to facilitate the rescue of persons in the vicinity of their vessel or structure so that immediate assistance can be rendered without a time-consuming and expensive search and rescue operation.3 MSLDs may operate in closed loop or open loop mode; a closed loop alert is received only on a device monitored by personnel at the MSLD wearers vessel (or fleet of vessels) or facility, while open loop operation allows alerts to be heard by all vessels in the vicinity equipped with Digital Selective Calling (DSC) equipment. 3. MSLDs must conform to the version of RTCM Standard 11901 that is incorporated by reference in the Commissions rules.4 The version of the RTCM MSLD standard incorporated by reference in the Commissions rules requires the device to begin in closed loop mode, and it does not permit open loop alerting unless the closed loop DSC alert is not acknowledged for five minutes. In the time since the Commission adopted its rule, however, RTCM revised the standard to eliminate the required delay in open loop alerting.5 1 See Request by Weatherdock AG for Waiver of the Commissions Rules (dated June 18, 2019). 2 47 CFR 95.2903. 3 See Amendment of the Commissions Rules Regarding Maritime Radio Equipment and Related Matters et al., Report and Order, 31 FCC Rcd 10300, 10307, para. 18 (2016). 4 RTCM Standard 11901.1 for Maritime Survivor Locating Devices (MSLD), dated June 4, 2012; see 47 CFR 95.2989(b)(1)(ii). 5 See RTCM Standard 11901.1 with Amendment 1 for Maritime Survivor Locating Devices (MSLD), dated May 2, 2014. The current version of RTCM Standard 11901.1 is dated February 5, 2015. Federal Communications Commission DA 19-1251 4. Weatherdock believes that MSLDs designed to the new RTCM standard will enhance the ability to locate persons in distress, and already offers the easyONE with open loop alerting for sale abroad. Consequently, Weatherdock seeks a waiver to permit equipment certification and use of MSLDs with open loop operation pursuant to the revised RTCM standard.6 Weatherdock submitted with its waiver request a letter from the United States Coast Guard concluding that the easyONE complies with the applicable requirements of RTCM Standard 11901 and stating that the Coast Guard does not object to equipment authorization and use of the device.7 5. RTCM also has filed a petition for rulemaking requesting that the revised standard be incorporated into the rules.8 Commenters support the petition.9 That proceeding remains pending. 6. Discussion. Section 1.925 of the Commission's rules provides that we may grant a waiver if it is shown that (a) the underlying purpose of the rule(s) would not be served or would be frustrated by application to the instant case, and grant of the requested waiver would be in the public interest; or (b) in light of unique or unusual circumstances, application of the rule(s) would be inequitable, unduly burdensome, or contrary to the public interest, or the applicant has no reasonable alternative.10 We conclude that the waiver request meets the first prong of the waiver standard. 7. Weatherdocks proposed MSLD offers improved identification and location of persons in distress over current MSLDs. We agree with Weatherdock that application of the rules in this instance would frustrate their underlying purpose promoting public safety and that a waiver would serve the public interest because use of an MSLD with open loop alerting will facilitate recovery of lost mariners and other persons in distress.11 We therefore grant Weatherdock's request for a waiver to permit the equipment authorization, marketing, and use of an MSLD with open loop alerting, pending resolution of RTCMs rulemaking petition.12 8. Weatherdock must reference this Order when applying for FCC equipment certification. The request for equipment certification shall be submitted in writing to a Telecommunication 6 The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau sought comment on the waiver request on October 3, 2019.
