1 1 WHAT IS AIS? The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a Very High Frequency (VHF) radio broadcasting system that transfers packets of data over the VHF data link (VDL) and enables AIS equipped vessels and shore-based stations to exchange identification information and navigational data. Ships with AIS transponders continually transmit their ID, position, course, speed and other data to all nearby ships and shore stations. Such information can aid greatly in situational awareness and provide a means to assist in collision avoidance. AIS equipment is standardized by ITU, IEC, IALA and IMO and is subject to approval by a certification body. The following AIS devices have been developed for variant applications.  AIS Class A: mandated by the IMO for vessels of 300 gross tonnages and upwards engaged on international voyages, cargo ships of 500 gross tonnages and upwards, as well as passenger ships. It transmits typically on 12.5 watt output power.  AIS Class B: provides limited functionality and is intended for non-SOLAS commercial vessels and recreational vessels. It transmits typically on 2 watt output power.  AIS Base Station: is provided by aids-to-navigation authorities to enable the ship to shore / shore to ship transmission of information. Networked AIS Base Stations can assist in providing overall maritime domain awareness.  AIS AtoN (Aids to Navigation): provides an opportunity to transmit position and status of buoys and lights through the same VDL, which can then show up on AIS-ready devices within the range.  AIS SART: Search and Rescue Transmitter using AIS can be used to assist in determining the location of a vessel in distress. It is typically used on life rafts.  AIS on Search and Rescue (SAR) Aircraft: used on airplanes and helicopters to assist search and rescue operation.
2 2 SYSTEM OVERVIEW 2.1 Product Description The AMEC CAMINO-701 is a new generation AIS Class A transponder fully compliance with IMO, IEC, and ITU international standards. It provides a compact single box solution, easy to install and operate. The unit is designed with advanced technology which sets a new standard for quality, performance, and value. It is an excellent choice for SOLAS vessels, commercial vessels, and professional vessels. The CAMINO-701 consists of a transceiver radio unit, an integrated GPS receiver, a controller unit, and a color 3.5” LCD display with menu keypads. The radio has three receivers -- two TDMA receivers and one DSC receiver. The transmitter alternates its transmission between the two operating TDMA. The controller unit creates and schedules data packets (containing dynamic, static and voyage related data) for transmission based on the IMO performance standard for AIS. The CAMINO-701 can be connected to the ship’s sensors as required by the IALA guidelines through an external junction box (supplied in the package). The unit can also interface external navigation and presentation systems that support IEC 61162-1 related sentences. It is also capable for connection to Long Range system like Inmarsat C. The CAMINO-701 supports both IMO and Inland AIS which is configurable by the software. The color LCD display and menu keypads provide an intuitive graphical user-friendly interface to the system. It can display the location of other vessels, aids to navigation and search and rescue vessels.

It is recommended that a VHF antenna with omni directional vertical polarization be specifically tuned for AIS operation band. Since the range of VHF signals is largely decided by line of sight distance, the VHF antenna should be placed as high as possible and at least 5 meters away from any constructions made of conductive materials. To avoid interference, the VHF antenna location should be placed accordingly as diagram below: Figure 2 VHF/GPS Antenna Locations Ensure a free 360˚ horizon with a vertical observation of 5˚. 5˚ High power transmitting antenna 3m Ensure the GPS antenna is not on the transmitting beam with other high power transmitting antenna. VHF Antenna. Other VHF Antenna The recommended vertical distance between antennas is 2m. The recommended horizontal distance between antennas is 10m. Other transmitting antenna 10m The recommended horizontal distance between GPS antennas and other antennas is 3m.
6 3.5 GPS Antenna Installation The GPS antenna must be installed where it has a clear view of the sky, so that it may access the horizon freely with 360° degrees, with a vertical observation of 5 to 90 degrees above the horizon as illustrated below.

87 APPENDIX (A) A.1 IEC 61162-2 Data Interface The CAMINO-701 Class A AIS Transponder provides 2 types of IEC 61162-2 data interfaces for user applications. The first interface type includes 3 input-only sensor data ports and the second interface type includes 4 bidirectional input/output ports. Data port for each interface type will be described in the following section below. A.1.1 Sensor Data Input Ports The schematic of input-only sensor data port is shown in Figure A1. The schematic includes a standard V.11 transceiver IC (Texas Instruments SN65176B) combined with high speed photocoupler which are used as the main components to receive external data. The transceiver IC is isolated from external input. To avoid signal reflection, the transceiver IC has an optional built-in 120Ω loop termination, which is selectable by the dip-switch on the junction box and the switch should be set to on position when connecting external data source with long cable. All sensor data-input ports are isolated from one another and are also isolated from internal power supply. The input impedance on A/B wires is greater than 12 KΩ and the levels on the A/B wires are defined in the following:  Logic low input: A-B < -0.2V  Logic high input: A-B > +0.2V 1K3V3System GroundIsolated Ground1KABTGND TGND120ABTGNDJunction BoxCable RxIsolatedMain UnitTo systemData Input V5T Figure A1 Schematic of sensor data input port.
88 A.1.2 Bidirectional Data Ports The schematic of bidirectional data port is shown in Figure A2. The schematics inscludes an isoltated full duplex RS-485 transceiver IC (Texas Instrument ISO3080) which is used as the main component to handle both data input and output from external data source. The transceiver IC is isolated from external input. To avoid signal reflection, the transceiver IC has an optional built-in 120Ω loop termination, which is selectable by the dip-switch on the junction box and the switch should be set to on position when connecting external data source with long cable. All bidirectional data ports are isolated from one another and are also isolated from internal power supply. The transceiver internal power supply is fully isolated from the external power supply. 3V3 V5T3V3Cable 120RX_ATGNDJunction BoxData Input RX_BTX_BTX_ATGNDData Output System GroundRxTx To/FromSystemIsolatedIsolated Ground1010100K100KMain Unit10KDERX_ARX_BTX_BTX_AISO3080TGNDTGNDTGND Figure A2 Schematic of bidirectional data port.

103 APPENDIX (B) B.1 Monitoring of System Functions and Integrity In case a failure is detected in one or more of the following functions or data, an alarm will be triggered and displayed on the menu-tree under Alarm List, and the system (transponder) will react as described in the following table. Alarm's description text Alarm ID Reaction of the system (transponder) AIS: Tx malfunction 001 Stop transmission AIS: Antenna VSWR exceeds limit 002 Continue operation AIS: Rx channel 1 malfunction 003 Stop transmission on affected channel AIS: Rx channel 2 malfunction 004 Stop transmission on affected channel AIS: Rx channel 70 malfunction 005 Continue operation AIS: general failure 006 Stop transmission AIS: UTC sync invalid 007 Continue operation using indirect or semaphore synchronisation AIS: MKD connection lost 008 Continue operation AIS: internal / external GNSS position mismatch 009 Continue operation AIS: NavStatus incorrect 010 Continue operation Heading sensor offset 011 Continue operation AIS: active AIS SART 014 Continue operation AIS: external EPFS lost 025 Continue operation AIS: no sensor position in use 026 Continue operation AIS: no valid SOG information 029 Continue operation using default data AIS: no valid COG information 030 Continue operation using default data AIS: Heading lost/invalid 032 Continue operation using default data AIS: no valid ROT information 035 Continue operation using default data B.2 Antenna VSWR Exceeds Limit There is a built-in RF output power detector, which is used to monitor the VSWR of VHF antenna port. If the antenna VSWR exceeds limit, an alarm will be reported while the unit operates continuously. The system will output an ALR 002 at related PI port. B.3 Detection of Tx Malfunction A built-in lock detector (high active) is used to monitor the local oscillator (PLL circuit) of the transmitter. If the operation of PLL circuit becomes abnormal, a logic low (TX malfunction) will be sent from the lock detector to notify the system. At the same time, system will also output an ALR 001 at the related PI port. B.4 Detection of Rx Malfunction The CAMINO-701 also has 3 built-in lock detectors (high active) to monitor each local oscillator (PLL circuit) of receiver channel 1, channel 2, and channel 70 respectively. If the operation of PLL circuit becomes abnormal, a logic low level will be sent from the lock detector to notify the system. At the same time, the system will output ALR 003 or ALR 004 or ALR 005 at the related PI port to indicate the CH1 or CH2 or CH70 RX malfunctions respectively.
