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.

1.5 About This Manual
The manual contains installation instructions and operating information for different CYPHO-150
models. 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.

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.

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˚.

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.

3.12 AMEC AIS Viewer Software Installation
AIS Viewer is a supplementary application that provides a simple access for user to view AIS
information on PC. The application provides basic features to browse the relative positions of
surrounding vessels and the dynamic and static information regulated by IMO. For professional
uses, we recommend connecting AMEC CYPHO-150 Series with other marine electronic
products such as ECS or Radar for better performances.
The program (AMEC AIS Viewer.exe) and its operation manual are included in the CD-ROM.
