Weatherdock easyTRX2S Series Manual page 22

The box „TRX Status" gives you information about:
• Valid MMSI: Once a valid MMSI was entered it, "OK" Status will be
shown. A valid MMSI is required for transmitting data.
• "GPS position fix": If your GPS is working properly, status "OK" will be
shown.
• "GPS Error": Value is always >10 m. Used as a hint regarding the
accuracy class of the internal GPS. Normally the GPS of the TRX2S will
be >10m.
• "Satellites in view/used": Shows the number of received GPS satellites
and how many of them are used for position fixing.
If you have a unit with "iGPS" you can check here if your mounting
position is good to receive the GPS signals.
• "Transmitter": Once the transponder has sent data for the first time,
the status changes from "Standby" to "OK". If there is any fault in the
device, "Error" is displayed and the device does not work properly
anymore (needs repair). The box "Error Message" gives information
about the error.
• "Receiver": When the device has received AIS data for the first time
after switch-on the status changes from "Standby" to "OK". If there is
any fault in the device, "Error" is displayed and the device does not
work properly anymore (needs repair). The box "Error Message" gives
information about the error.
The "Hardware Status" displays the value of operating voltage. Important
is the value stated in "Supply Voltage (TX)". This is the voltage level during
transmission. Here the easyTRX2S device is shortly drawing approx. 2 A. If
the cables are too thin and very long, the voltage may drop down well
below the "Idle"-level (resting value) which might guide to a lower
radiation performance. In this case you should consider using cables with
larger copper diameter and check all contact connections, respectively.
