Page 5: What Is Ais
WHAT IS AIS? AIS stands for Automatic Identification System. AIS increases navigational safety and collision avoidance by transmitting vessel identification, helping to reduce the difficulty of identifying ships when not in sight (e.g. at night, in radar blind arcs or shadows or at distance) by broadcasting navigational intentions to other vessels by providing ID, position, course, speed and other ship data with all other nearby ships and land based stations. -
Page 6: Ais Classes
On the bottom, a typical NAUTICAST B2 installation in a common environment is shown. The NAUTICAST B2 is connected to the vessels power supply, and in connection with the VHF, and GPS-Antennas, the minimal requirements for Transponder operation are fulfilled. -

Page 12: Hardware Installation
WARNING: Do not connect the NAUTICAST B2 unit to a main (line) AC electrical supply, as it could cause electric shock or fire. Length of Data/Power Cable connection must not exceed 3 meters. -
Page 13: Antenna Installation
This is a TNC female bulkhead connector that mounts to the back of the case. This port provides the 5V DC feed for the active GPS antenna required by the NAUTICAST B2 unit (i.e. it should incorporate an LNA) and must be suitable for marine shipboard applications (index of protection, ruggedness, means of mounting, etc.). -
Page 14: Using The Transponder
Using the transponder Status LEDs 3.1.1 Power OK A green LED illuminates to show that the unit is connected to an external power source and is operating. 3.1.2 TX Timeout An amber LED illuminates if the unit has failed to transmit a position report during the last two reporting intervals. -
