  • Page 5: Operating The Cat Rot

    Operating the CAT ROT Place the CAT ROT on a horizontal surface where it can be left and not moved during operation. It is important that the CAT ROT is horizontal and not moved during operation since this will interfere with the Rate Gyro computations. Connect the cable between the AIS pilot plug and the CAT ROT and turn on the CAT ROT by pressing the power button.
  • Page 6: Wireless Interface

    Wireless Interface Wi-Fi The CAT ROT has got an IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi interface that complies with the FCC, IC, ETSI, TELEC, Wi-Fi standards. The range of the Wi-Fi is >200m with a clear line of sight. On a ship with a lot of metal structures this range cannot be achieved but if the unit is placed on monkey island it will cover the entire bridge.
  • Page 7: Ais Pilot Plug Mode

    Sometimes the installation of the AIS transponder do not follow the wiring standard on the pilot plug, and this can mean opposite polarity on the data wires as well as using other pins in the plug. The SafePilot CAT ROT/XT units take care of this automatically once the unit is connected to the pilot plug.
