IMPORTANT NOTES
This V2.00 Quick Start Guide is for AIT5000 units manufactured after March 2020, that feature a new wireless
Web Interface and which are identified by a wireless network name (SSID) of "DY-AIS-xxxx". If your AIT5000
transmits a wireless network name of "DY-AIT5000-xxxx" please refer to V1.00 Quick Start Guide.
If you intend to permanently connect the AIT5000 to an onboard computer via USB, we recommend using our
NMEA to USB Adaptor cable for extra protection against static discharges and supply voltage spikes.

Page 2: Before You Start
This Quick Start Guide will provide basic information on the AIT5000 to allow you to install and get the AIT5000 working, we suggest that you consult the manufacturer’s user manuals for any other equipment that you will be connecting the AIT5000 to. - Page 3 Installation Step 2 – Mechanical Fixings • Access to the fixing holes is achieved by removal of the two green decal strips down each side of the AIT5000. Once fixed in place, the green decal strips can be clicked back in place.
- Page 4 The most common connection to a dedicated chart plotter is to take the NMEA Output 1 (Orange+ and Brown –) from the AIT5000 Transponder and to connect it to a free NMEA Input on the plotter. You must then tell the chart plotter that AIS data is connected to this port and set the baud rate to 38,400 Baud –...

AIT5000 uses (Channel 1 by default). If you already have a wireless network on the boat and you would prefer the AIT5000 to be part of this network, rather than create another wireless network of its own, you can make it operate in “Station”... - Page 7 AIT5000 Web Interface Quick Start Guide for AIT5000 V2.00 TEL + 44 1179 554474 www.digitalyacht.co.uk sales@digitalyacht.co.uk...
- Page 8 20 seconds. By default, the AIT5000 transmits wireless NMEA data in UDP mode which is the easiest mode to setup in most apps – just tell the app that the UDP data is on port 2000 and it should start receiving data. In some apps, such as the popular Navionics Boating app, the AIT5000 will even be detected automatically and no app setup is required.

Correct operation should be verified as follows: 1. Check that the green “Wi-Fi” LED flashes when you first turn the AIT5000 on and goes to a solid ON, as soon as you have connected wirelessly to the AIT5000 (Access Point Mode) or it has successfully joined another wireless network (Station Mode). -

4. Is there a good supply voltage? Check in the web interface if the DC supply is higher than 9.8v which is the level at which the AIT5000 will stop transmitting. It needs a good 12v or 24v supply for correct operation and you will need to check the power connections for excessive voltage drop.
