Page 18: Selecting A Location
• Power supply — Select a location that is as close as possible to the vessel’s DC power source. This will help to keep cable runs to a minimum. • Diagnostics — The AIS700 must be mounted in a location where any diagnostics LEDs are easily visible. -
Page 19: Emc Installation Guidelines
20 degrees above and below the radiating element. • The AIS700 is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. This is important to prevent erratic behavior and data loss which can occur if the engine start does not have a separate battery. -
Page 20: Compass Safe Distance
Typically this distance should be at least 1 m (3 ft) in all directions. However for some smaller vessels it may not be possible to locate the AIS700 this far away from a compass. In this situation, when choosing the installation location, ensure that the compass is not affected by the AIS700 when it is in a powered state. -
Page 21: Mounting The Ais700
• Identified the relevant cable connections and the route that the cable will take. 1. Using the AIS700 as a guide, mark the location of the mounting holes on the mounting surface. 2. Drill holes for the mounting fixings using a drill with a suitable sized drill bit. -
Page 22: Mounting The Antenna
3.3 Mounting the antenna To mount the antenna: 1. Select a suitable location for the antenna, as described in the GNSS antenna location requirements section. Surface mounting Pole mounting 2. Mount your antenna using either the procedure, as appropriate. Pole mounting If you want to pole-mount the antenna, obtain a pole of suitable length with a 1 inch 14 TPI thread. -
Page 23: Surface Mounting
3. Screw the pole mount adaptor fully onto the pole and ensure it is secure. 4. Feed the antenna cable through the center of the pole mount adaptor and then down through the center of the mounting pole. 5. Ensuring you do not trap the cable, place the antenna on the pole mount adaptor so the screw holes are aligned, then secure the antenna with the 3 screws removed during step 2. - Page 24 Note: • The thumb nuts supplied with your product may differ slightly from those shown in the illustration. • Only use the studs and thumb nuts supplied with the antenna.

Appendix D AIS overview Your AIS700 uses digital radio signals to exchange 'real-time' information between vessels, shore based stations, or aids to navigation (AToNs) on dedicated VHF frequencies. This information is used to identify and track vessels in the surrounding area and to provide fast, automatic and accurate collision avoidance data. - Page 63 Data Receiver (receive) Transceiver (transmit) Transceiver (receive) Gyro heading Yes* Rate of turn Navigational status Safety message *Class B transceivers do not transmit a Gyro heading unless the transceiver is receiving an NMEA HDT sentence from an external source. Data reporting intervals AIS information is classed as either static or dynamic.
