Poll info CH70
With the Poll info CH70 mode, the test box can be used to poll AIS information from the
transponder on channel 70 or on the alternative channels 06 and 15.
Please note: Since 2007, AIS transponders are no longer required
to facilitate communication on CH70. In this case polling tests on CH70
are not applicable.
It is a requirement that the MMSI number registered in the test box is identical with the MMSI of
the AIS transponder to be tested. Please check and change number, if required, using the Edit
ship's MMSI menu. See Page 12.
Use this setup:
Select Poll info CH70 on the test box and press OK. The AIS transponder can be polled for
information on name/identity, position, course, speed, heading, beam, draught and length, etc.
Press ↓ and ↑ to toggle between the various polling modes.
Once the polling mode has been selected, press OK. The test box will automatically
synchronize with the AIS transponder; transmit the request and then switch to receiving mode.
Wait for the transponder to respond and check the polled information appearing on the test box
display. The polled information will also be stored in the test box memory.
The polling mode also offers the opportunity of shifting to the alternative channels 06 and 15.
If you select the alternative channel, remember to switch back to CH 70.
