    1 General Introduction 1.1 Description of AIS What does the abbreviation AIS stand for? AIS stands for: “Automatic Identification System” What is AIS? According to IALA regulations, AIS is defined as follows: Very simply, the AIS is a broadcast Transponder system, operating in the VHF maritime mobile Band.

  • Page 7: Ais In An Operational Environment

    1.2 AIS in an Operational Environment This illustration depicts a typical AIS System, where two or more AIS equipped vessels (and shore based systems) are automatically communicating with each other. On the bottom, a typical GlobalWatch UAIS installation in a common environment is shown.

  • Page 8: Ais Networks

    1.3 AIS Networks The scenario below shows a full AIS coverage area (including all derivates and complete shore infrastructure). The Carriage Requirement currently applies exclusively to SOLAS Vessels, but following the current international discussions on maritime security; it is common understanding that other possible AIS users will follow very soon.

  • Page 9: Carriage Requirement

    1.4 Carriage Requirement 1.4.1 Chapter V (Safety of Navigation) Regulation 19, of the SOLAS Convention. IMO regulations require sea vessels from a size of 300 GT in international and 500 GT in national waters to be equipped with an AIS-Transponder. The implementation of this legislation began on 1.

    3.5 Sensor notes External Sensor The AIS has interfaces (configurable as IEC 61162-1 or 61162-2) for position, bottom track (BT) speed, heading and rate of turn (ROT) sensors. In general, sensors installed in compliance with other carriage requirements of SOLAS Chapter V should be connected to the AIS System.*1.

    3.6 Sensor Installation 3.6.1 Signal state definitions The idle, marking, logical 1, OFF or stop bit state is defined by a negative voltage on line A with respect to line B, as in IEC 61162-1. The active, spacing, logical 0, ON or start bit state is defined by a positive voltage on line A with respect to line B, as in IEC 61162-1.

    3.10 Installation of VHF / GPS Antennas Interference to the Ship’s VHF Radiotelephone The AIS ship borne equipment, like any other ship borne transceiver operating in the VHF maritime band, may cause interference to a ship’s VHF radiotelephone. Because AIS is a digital system, this interference may occur as a periodic (e.g.
  • Page 23 All outdoor connectors on the coaxial cables should be fitted with preventive isolation, such as shrink-stocking with silicone to protect the antenna cable against water penetration. Coaxial cables should be installed in separate signal cable channels/tubes, and at least 10 cm away from any power supply cables.
  • Page 24 Antenna Layout The position of the VHF und GNSS – antennas must be added to the existing antenna layout of the vessel. Power Supply The GlobalWatch UAIS must be supplied from the emergency power source. A further requirement is to connect AIS to the reserve power source of the GMDSS. A new battery capacity calculation must then be undertaken.

  • Page 34: Troubleshooting

    5 Troubleshooting 5.1 Reading and understanding Alarms: The GlobalWatch UAIS differentiates between Alarm and TXT messages. An Alarm informs the user about major system malfunctions and failings in the connected sensors. The Alarm Status informs the user about all active Alarms. The Alarm will be disabled and deleted from the Alarm Status, as soon as the displayed problem has been rectified.

  • Page 35: Alarm Codes

    5.2 Alarm Codes System Reaction / Remedy Description Text Cause/Source Reaction: The transponder unit stops transmission. If Alarm ID 01 and VHF Antenna, AIS: Tx malfunction ID 02 are simultaneously displayed, then a major antenna problem has cabling arisen. Remedy: Check if the antenna is AIS compatible (156-162 MHz) and if the antenna cabling has a short circuit or is missing any contacts at the connectors.
