CAMINO-101 is a Class B AIS transponder using carrier-sense TDMA (CSTDMA) technology. It is designed to inter-operable and compatible with Class A or other Class B ship borne mobile AIS stations or any other AIS station operating on the AIS VHF data link. CAMINO-101 AIS uses marine VHF channels with frequency set universally from 156.025 MHz to 162.025 MHz. Having CAMINO-101 AIS 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, and etc.), static information (ship name, MMSI, call sign, and etc.), and voyage related information (cargo type, destination, and etc.) from any vessels equipped with AIS. An external computer installing with AMEC AIS Viewer software or a similar compatible device is required in order to view the AIS information above mentioned. CAMINO-101 AIS is one of the cutting-edge navigational aid equipment allowing real-time information exchanges within AIS network. It is also capable of integrating with other maritime systems such as Electronic Chart System (hereinafter called “ECS”) for various maritime navigation applications. CAMINO-101 is designed with 2 RF receivers and 1 RF transmitter. One of the RF receivers is time-shared between AIS and DSC. On the front panel, CAMINO-101 equips with 3 LED indicators. At rear panel, CAMINO-101 equips with 1 VHF antenna connector, 1 GPS antenna connector, 1 optional Bluetooth connector and antenna, 1 NMEA interface connector, 1 RS232 interface connector, 1 power connector, and 1 power switch. *NOTE: The CAMINO-101 is an equipment to be used in protected environmental conditions. It is not intended to expose to rain or spray longer than minute. 1.2 Type of AIS There are mainly two types of AIS transponder: Class A and Class B. The intended nature of these AIS systems in navigations is different as illustrated in the following table. CAMINO-101 is a Class B AIS transponder. Table 1-2 Type of AIS ‧ Transmits and receives AIS signal in SOTDMA protocols. Class A AIS Class B AIS ‧ Intended for vessels meeting the IMO AIS carriage requirements. ‧ It is mandatory for all commercial vessels that exceed 300 tons to be equipped with Class A AIS. ‧ ‧ ‧ ‧ Transmits and receives AIS signal in CSTDMA protocols. Not necessarily in accord with IMO AIS carriage requirements. It is not mandatory for vessels to be equipped with Class B AIS. Suitable for recreational vessels or fishing boats, in enhancing its safety at sea. 1.3 AIS Message Type The CAMINO-101 transmits following message types. Table 1-3 CAMINO-101 AIS message type Type of Message Static Data Data Details Maritime Mobile Service Identity number (“MMSI”) Call sign and name Type of ship Length and beam GPS Antenna location Position of the vessel Dynamic Data Dynamic Reports SRM Course Over Ground (hereinafter called “COG”) Speed Over Ground (hereinafter called “SOG”) Heading Speed of the ship Status of the ship Alarm Safety 1.4 AIS Report Rate The CAMINO-101 supports following report rate in accordance to ITU-R M.1371 and IEC 62287-1. Table 1-4 CAMINO-101 AIS report rate Platforms Condition Nominal Reporting Interval Class B Ship-borne mobile equipment not moving faster than 2 knots 3 Minutes Class B Ship-borne mobile equipment moving faster than 2 knots Report rate by command of VTS 30 Seconds 5 Seconds highest 1.5 About this Manual The manual contains installation instructions and operating information for CAMINO-101. 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 where 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 CAMINO-101 AIS is to enhance the safety of vessels at sea. However, a few points must be noted as below, Any AIS cannot guarantee in monitoring and receiving signals from all vessels in the surroundings unless those vessels equip with AIS device. It is important to note that the AIS is designed for the purpose of anti-collision and is serves as a compliment to navigation. It is not navigational equipment and does not replace any navigational system installed on board. Although AIS is operated automatically by itself, the owner or the crew on the vessel should still maintain a proper lookout for the surroundings. While the AIS is capable of setting alarm of Distance to Closest Point of Approach (hereinafter called “CPA”) and Time to the Closest Point of Approach (hereinafter called “TCPA”), vessel owner or the crew should be aware of the fact that there are vessels that are not equipped with AIS, and this function will not apply on these vessels. Incorrect data and information entered into the AIS is considered as erroneous information. Erroneous information or improper configuration will cause risk to other vessels and the own vessel when these information are transmitted. Users must be aware of this risk and make sure that all the information entered into the system is correct and up to date. 2 INSTALLATION 2.1 General 2.1.1 Safety Instructions Before proceeding with installation, take note of the following safety instructions and read through this installation manual carefully.

Please refer to Section 3.1 Figure 2-2-3-6 Installation instruction IV. Remarks Set up the GPS and VHF Antenna in an appropriate spot. (Refer to Section 2.2) 12 The power voltage of CAMINO-101 is 24V DC. Use an adaptor if the supply voltage is not within the range. INCORRECT INPUT VOLTAGE WILL DAMAGE THE EQUIPMENT! 2.2.4 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 2-2-4. Ensure a free 360˚ horizon with a vertical observation of 5˚. 5˚ High power transmitting antenna Ensure the GPS antenna is not within the transmitting beam of other high power transmitting antenna. The recommended vertical distance between antennas is 2m. 3m VHF Antenna. The recommended horizontal distance between GPS antennas and other antennas is 3m. 10m Other transmitting The antenna recommended horizontal distance between antennas is 10m. Other VHF Antenna Figure 2-2-4 VHF/GPS Antenna Location We recommend you choose AMEC AIS VHF antenna. To save space, you can also choose VHF/GPS combo antenna provided by AMEC 13 2.2.5 GPS Antennas Installation The GPS antenna must be installed where it has a clear view of the sky, so that it accesses the horizon freely through 360°, with a vertical observation of 5 to 90 degrees above the horizon as illustrated in Figure 2-2-5. GPS ANTENNA LOCATION Enter the external and internal GPS antenna location data after installing them. Input the data in “SHIP SETTING”. Following is the GPS antenna location offset arm. Figure 2-2-5 GPS Antenna location We recommend you choose AMEC AIS GPS antenna. To save space, you can also choose VHF/GPS combo antenna provided by AMEC. 2.2.6 Antenna Cabling When connecting the cable(s) with the CAMINO-101, take note of the following precautions. Do not bend the cable(s). Each coaxial cable should keep a 10m safe distance with the power cable. 14 Each coaxial cable should be set up separately and can only be set up in a single cable tube. Connecting port of the coaxial cable should be insulated. 2.2.7 CAMINO-101 External Connections VHF Antenna (Connector - M Jack) ECS 24V DC GPS Antenna (Connector – Female TNC) RS-232 Figure 2-4 External configurations 15 2.2.8 AMEC AIS Configuration Software Installation This program enabled users to set up the own ship‟s dynamic, static and voyage related information through computer.
