INTRODUCTION
1.1 CAMINO-201 Overview
The CAMINO-201 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
shipborne mobile AIS stations or any other AIS station operating on the AIS VHF data link.
CAMINO-201 AIS uses marine VHF channels with frequency set universally from 156.025 MHz
to 162.025 MHz. Having CAMINO-201 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.
CAMINO-201 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-201 is designed with 2 RF receivers and 1 RF transmitter. One of the RF receivers is
time-shared between AIS and DSC. At front side, CAMINO-201 equips with 5.7” LCD display
panel and 10 functional keypads. At rear side, CAMINO-201 equips with 1 VHF antenna
connector, 1 GPS antenna connector, 1 NMEA interface connector, 1 RS232 interface
connector, and 1 power connector.
*NOTE: The CAMINO-201 is an equipment to be used in protected environmental conditions. It
is not intended to expose to rain or spray longer than couple minutes.
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-201 is
a Class B AIS transponder.
Table 1-2 Type of AIS
Class A AIS
Class B AIS
‧ Transmits and receives AIS signal in SOTDMA protocols.
‧ 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.

1.5 About This Manual
The manual contains installation instructions and operating information for CAMINO-201. 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-201 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.

2.2.4 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˚.

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.
2.3 Antenna Cabling
When connecting the cable(s) with the CAMINO-201, take note of the following precautious.
Do not bend the cable(s).
Antenna cable should be
kept as short as possible.
Antenna cable and
connectors must be
rated at 50Ω.
AIS antenna cable should
be installed in separate
single cable tube or
channel.
16
Connecting port of the
coaxial cable should be
insulated and waterproofing.
Each antenna cable should
keep a 10m safe distance with
the high-power
radio-transmitter lines or
power cable.
