Checking for interference
Post installation check
If you have installed any system aboard a boat or made other
changes to the boat's electronic systems (radar, VHF radio etc.),
you need to check before casting off, that all electrical systems
72
operate satisfactorily without any undue electrical interference,
in order to conform with Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
regulations. To do this:
1. Ensuring it is safe to do so, turn on all electronic systems aboard
your vessel.
2. Check that the electronic systems all operate satisfactorily.
GPS data for external devices
The GPS receiver supplied with the AIS650 unit is intended to
provide GPS data to the AIS unit only.
To prevent potential GPS data conflicts and / or performance issues,
the GPS receiver supplied with the AIS650 unit should NOT be
used to provide GPS data to multifunction displays or any other
external device. The ability to configure the ProAIS2 software to
output GPS data from the AIS unit on its NMEA0183 connection is
intended for diagnostic purposes only. Raymarine recommends
that an additional NMEA 0183 or SeaTalk
to provide GPS data to external devices, as shown in the system
examples provided in this document.
You can check the GPS output status of your AIS650 by connecting
it to the ProAIS2 software (via the USB connection). Ensure that the
following GNSS sentences are disabled:
• GBS – Satellite Fault Detection;
• GGA – Global Positioning System Fix Data;
• GLL – Latitude, Longitude, Time of Fix and Status;
• RMC – Recommended Minimum Data.
To do this, ensure that these options are NOT ticked (NOT selected)
in the Configuration tab of the ProAIS2 software, as shown in the
following screenshot:
