1 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 CYPHO-150X Series Overview The AMEC CYPHO-150X (any CYPHO-150 model) is an AIS receiver. It receives AIS navigation data from AIS-equipped vessels nearby and the data is utilized to improve navigation safety. CYPHO-150X is designed to inter-operate with AIS Class A or Class B transponders, or any other AIS station operating on the AIS VHF data link. CYPHO-150X is built with two parallel AIS receivers in one box. The default frequencies are standard marine VHF AIS channels, i.e. 161.975 and 162.025 MHz. Having CYPHO-150X AIS receiver on board, not only can you monitor the status of the vessels in the surrounding area, but also receive the dynamic information (position, speed, SOG, etc.), static information (ship name, MMSI, call sign, etc.), and voyage related information (cargo type, destination, etc.) from any vessels nearby that are equipped with AIS transponders. Equipped with standard USB and NMEA0183, CYPHO-150X allows connectivities to most available peripherals in the market. Through USB, users are able to view AIS information on their preferred navigation chart software on their PCs or notebooks. CYPHO-150X is IPX2 water resistant providing acceptable protection against water. It complies with international IEC 60945 standard and has gained CE/FCC conformity. You have made a smart choice to ensure a happy and safety journey. 1.2 Comparison of CYPHO-150 models Description CYPHO-150 CYPHO-150WS Number of AIS channels 2 2 USB port 1 1 NMEA 0183 Independent 1 input, 1 output Independent 1 input, 1 output NMEA 2000 Yes WiFi Yes Built-in AIS splitter Yes
2 1.3 Type of AIS There are different types of AIS device as described below. The CYPHO-150X is an AIS receiver. Table 1-2 Type of AIS Class A AIS Transponder ‧ Transmits and receives AIS signal. ‧ Intended for vessels meeting the requirements of IMO AIS carriage requirement. ‧ It is mandatory for all commercial vessels that exceed 300 tons to be equipped with Class A AIS. Class B AIS Transponder ‧ Transmits and receives AIS signal. ‧ Not necessarily in full accord with IMO AIS carriage requirements. ‧ It is not mandatory for vessels to be equipped with Class B AIS. ‧ Suitable for recreational vessel, in enhancing its safety at sea. AIS Receiver ‧ Only receives AIS signal. ‧ Does not have transmitter to send out AIS signal. ‧ Suitable for recreational vessel that does not want to send out its vessel information. 1.4 AIS Message Type The CYPHO-150X can receive AIS messages from both class A and class B AIS transponders. The message types are listed as below table. The messages in gray color are transmitted only from class A AIS device.

While most of the installation can be performed by the owner or the crew, a final commissioning can be done by your local agent/dealer when needed or required. AMEC and the local agent/dealer will not bear any responsibilities over any damages resulted in improper installation by unauthorized agent/dealer.
4 1.6 Important Notice The intended use of the AMEC CYPHO-150 Series Automatic Identification System Receiver is to enhance the safety of vessels at sea. However, a few points must be addressed:  Under certain regulations, some specified vessels are compulsory to be installed with AIS. However, this does NOT mean that all vessels will be equipped with ones. Any AIS will NOT guarantee to monitor and to receive signals from every ship in the surroundings.  AIS acts as aids to navigation in the purpose of decreasing or preventing the possibility of vessel collision. It is not the absolute navigational equipment and does not replace any navigational system installed on board.  Please keep the device at least 3.3 ft (1 m) away from the ship’s navigation compass.  This product is a marine AIS receiver intended for worldwide use on NON SOLAS vessels.

11 3.6 VHF Antenna Installation The quality and positioning of the antenna is the most important factor 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, AIS 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 in accordance to Figure 2-2-6. Figure 2-2-6 VHF/GPS Antenna Location We recommend you choose AMEC AIS VHF antenna. 3.7 WiFi Antenna Installation (CYPHO-150WS model only) Installation of WiFi antenna is straight forward. Screw on the antenna firmly and then raise up the antenna. Ensure a free 360˚ horizon with a vertical observation of 5˚. 5˚ High power transmitting antenna 3m Ensure the GPS antenna is not within the transmitting beam of 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.
12 3.8 Antenna Cabling When connecting the cable(s) with the CYPHO-150, take note of the following precautions. NOTICE DO NOT BEND CABLES Bending cables may cause damages to the inner wires and impair overall the performances. USES OF CABLE TUBE Each coaxial cable should be set up separately and can only be set up in a single cable tube. INSULATION ON CONNECTING PORT Connecting port of the coaxial cable should be insulated.
13 3.9 USB Driver Installation Your PC needs to install the USB driver in able to connect the AIS receiver. Locate the USB driver in the CD-ROM.
