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.

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. The AIS transmit
and receive status are shown on the screen which helps user to know the working status of the unit easily. The
LCD and keypad can also be used to send and receive messages, perform configuration as well as supervise the
systems status.

3.4 VHF Antenna Installation
The quality and positioning of the antenna are the most important factors dictating AIS performance. 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:

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

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.

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.
