To fix Speed, Course, and Status not being detected on the Koden KAT-100 AIS transceiver, follow these steps:

1. Check GPS Signal: Ensure the internal or external GPS antenna is properly connected and has a clear view of the sky.
2. Verify Sensor Connections: Confirm that speed and course sensors are correctly wired and configured in the sensor configuration menu.
3. Review Navigation Status: Manually update the navigation status if necessary through the menu.
4. Check Unit Settings: Ensure speed and distance units are correctly set in the ‘User settings’ menu.
5. Run Diagnostics: Access the maintenance menu and check the system diagnostics for errors.
6. Restart the Device: Power cycle the transceiver to refresh connections.
7. Contact Support: If the issue persists, consult an authorized installer or service agent.

These steps should help resolve detection issues.

  • Page 12: Static And Dynamic Vessel Data

    Introduction 2.2 Static and dynamic vessel data Information transmitted by an AIS transceiver is in two categories: static and dynamic data. The vessel's dynamic data which includes location, speed over ground (SOG) and course over ground (COG) is calculated automatically using the internal GPS receiver. Static data is information about the vessel which must be programmed into the AIS transceiver.
