  • Page 18: Ais Overview

    — Grounding 2.6 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.

    • The suitable fuse rating for the thermal breaker is dependent on the number of devices you are connecting. If in doubt consult an authorized Raymarine dealer. • Your product’s power cable may have an in-line fuse fitted, if not then you must add an in-line fuse / breaker to the positive wire of your product’s power connection.

Drain wire connection point. Battery connection scenario A: Suitable for a vessel with a common RF ground point. In this scenario, if your product’s power cable is supplied with a separate drain wire then it should be connected to the vessel’s common ground point.

    • Do NOT connect the AIS700 to a PC using NMEA 0183 and USB connections at the same time. • If you are connecting to an AIS capable VHF Radio, you must disable the VHF Radio’s AIS function first.

  • Page 34: Gps (Gnss) Antenna Connection

    Note: Do NOT connect any other antenna than the one supplied with your AIS700. If the antenna is not connected or connected incorrectly then your AIS700 will operate in Silent mode, the AIS700 will not transmit but will still receive.

  • Page 35: Vhf Antenna Connection

    • Using a VHF antenna optimized for only AIS frequency operation may permanently damage the AIS700, as VHF radio transmissions are reflected back into the AIS700 due to the poor impedance match of the VHF antenna operating at VHF radio frequencies.

  • Page 48: Vswr Alarm Troubleshooting

    • Using a non-wideband VHF antenna optimized only for VHF radio frequencies may cause transmissions from the AIS transceiver to be reflected back into the AIS700, due to the poor impedance match of the antenna and AIS transceiver frequencies. Although this will not damage the AIS700 (because AIS class B transmissions are of substantially lower power than VHF transmissions), it could result in the AIS700 triggering a system VSWR alarm.
  • Page 49 Color Status Transceiver fault / MMSI number not programmed. • Check MMSI number and static data has been correctly configured. • Check GNSS antenna is properly connected and has a clear unobstructed view of the sky. • Check the VHF antenna is properly connected and is not short circuiting to the vessel structure.
