3.1 Selecting a locationWarning: Potential ignitionsourceThis product is NOT approved for use inhazardous/flammable atmospheres. DoNOT install in a hazardous/flammableatmosphere (such as in an engine room ornear fuel tanks).General location requirementsWhen selecting a location for your AIS700 it is importantto consider a number of factors.•Water ingress — The AIS700 should be mountedbelow decks. Although the AIS700 is waterproof, it isgood practice to locate it in a protected area awayfrom prolonged and direct exposure to rain and saltspray.•Ventilation — To ensure adequate airflow:– Ensure that AIS700 is mounted in a compartmentof suitable size.– Ensure that ventilation holes are not obstructed.Allow adequate separation of all equipment.•Electrical interference — Select a location thatis far enough away from devices that may causeinterference, such as motors, generators and radiotransmitters / receivers.•Power supply — Select a location that is as close aspossible to the vessel’s DC power source. This willhelp to keep cable runs to a minimum.•Diagnostics — The AIS700 must be mounted in alocation where any diagnostics LEDs are easily visible.•Mounting surface — Ensure the AIS700 is adequatelysupported on a secure surface. Do not mount units orcut holes in places which may damage the structureof the vessel.•Cabling — Ensure the AIS700 is mounted in a locationwhich allows proper routing, support and connectionof cables:– Minimum bend radius of 100 mm (3.94 in) unlessotherwise stated.– Use cable clips to prevent stress on connectors.– If your installation requires multiple ferrites to beadded to a cable then additional cable clips shouldbe used to ensure the extra weight of the cable issupported.GNSS antenna location requirementsThe AIS700 includes a built-in GNSS receiver and issupplied with a GNSS antenna which must be installedin accordance with the instructions provided. Do NOTconnect any other GNSS antenna other than thatsupplied.The GNSS antenna can be mounted either on a flathorizontal surface or on a suitable pole.• If you intend to surface mount the antenna, ensure youhave access to the underside of the mounting surface.• If you intend to pole-mount the antenna, the poleneeds to have a 1 inch 14 TPI thread.Important:The GNSS antenna must be mounted in a locationthat provides a good direct line of site to the entiresky, around the horizon.Ensure that the selected mounting location is:• Open and clear of any obstructions (such as masts,search lights, or other structures) that could blockline-of-sight to the sky.• As low as possible, to keep the antenna as stableas possible. The more stable the antenna, the moreeffectively it will track satellites and provide stabledata.• As far as possible (at least 1 m (3 ft)) from otherantennae and electronic equipment.Do NOT mount the antenna:• In any area where it could be stepped on or trippedover.• Up a mast. This will cause the antenna to swing andgive significant errors in position data.• In the direct path of a Radar beam.EMC installation guidelinesRaymarine® equipment and accessories conform tothe appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)regulations, to minimize electromagnetic interferencebetween equipment and minimize the effect suchinterference could have on the performance of yoursystemCorrect installation is required to ensure that EMCperformance is not compromised.Note:In areas of extreme EMC interference, some slightinterference may be noticed. Where this occurs theAIS700 and the source of the interference should beseparated by a greater distance.For optimum EMC performance we recommend thatwherever possible:• Raymarine® equipment and cables connected to it are:– At least 1 m (3 ft) from any equipment transmittingor cables carrying radio signals e.g. VHF radios,cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, thedistance should be increased to 2 m (7 ft).– More than 2 m (7 ft) from the path of a Radar beam.A Radar beam can normally be assumed to spread20 degrees above and below the radiating element.• The AIS700 is supplied from a separate battery fromthat used for engine start. This is important to preventerratic behavior and data loss which can occur if theengine start does not have a separate battery.• Raymarine® specified cables are used.• Cables are not cut or extended, unless doing so isdetailed in the installation instructions.Note: Where constraints on the installation preventany of the above recommendations, always ensurethe maximum possible separation between differentitems of electrical equipment, to provide the bestconditions for EMC performance throughout theinstallation14
Suppression ferrites• Raymarine® cables may be pre-fitted or supplied withsuppression ferrites. These are important for correctEMC performance. If ferrites are supplied separatelyto the cables (i.e. not pre-fitted), you must fit thesupplied ferrites, using the supplied instructions.• If a ferrite has to be removed for any purpose (e.g.installation or maintenance), it must be replaced in theoriginal position before the product is used.• Use only ferrites of the correct type, supplied byRaymarine® or its authorized dealers.• Where an installation requires multiple ferrites to beadded to a cable, additional cable clips should beused to prevent stress on the connectors due to theextra weight of the ferrites.Connections to other equipmentRequirement for ferrites on non-Raymarine® cables.If your AIS700 is to be connected to other equipmentusing a cable not supplied by Raymarine®, a suppressionferrite MUST always be attached to the end of the cablenear the AIS700.RF interferenceCertain third-party external electrical equipment cancause Radio Frequency (RF) interference with GPS,AIS or VHF devices if the external equipment is notadequately insulated and emits excessive levels ofelectromagnetic interference (EMI).Some common examples of such external equipmentinclude LED spot or strip lights, and terrestrial TV tuners.To minimize interference from such equipment:• Keep it as far away from GPS, AIS or VHF devices aspossible.• Ensure that any power cables for external equipmentare not entangled with the power or data cables forGPS, AIS or VHF devices.• Consider fitting one or more high frequencysuppression ferrites to the EMI-emitting device. Theferrite(s) should be rated to be effective in the range100 MHz to 2.5 GHz, and should be fitted to the powercable and any other cables exiting the EMI-emittingdevice, as close as possible to the position where thecable exits the device.Compass safe distanceTo prevent potential interference with the vessel'smagnetic compasses, ensure an adequate distance ismaintained from the AIS700.When choosing a suitable location for the AIS700 youshould aim to maintain the maximum possible distancefrom any compasses. Typically this distance should beat least 1 m (3 ft) in all directions. However for somesmaller vessels it may not be possible to locate theAIS700 this far away from a compass. In this situation,when choosing the installation location, ensure that thecompass is not affected by the AIS700 when it is in apowered state.AIS700 dimensions3.2 Mounting the AIS700Before mounting the AIS700 ensure that you have:• selected a suitable location (a clear, flat surface isrequired).• Identified the relevant cable connections and theroute that the cable will take.1. Using the AIS700 as a guide, mark the location of themounting holes on the mounting surface.2. Drill holes for the mounting fixings using a drill witha suitable sized drill bit.3. Screw the fixings approximately half way into theholes in the mounting surface.4. Place the AIS700 over the fixings screws and pushdown to lock into position.5. Fully tighten the screws.6. Connect the necessary cables.Installation 15
3.3 Mounting the antennaTo mount the antenna:1. Select a suitable location for the antenna,as described in theGNSS antenna locationrequirementssection.2. Mount your antenna using either theSurfacemountingorPole mountingprocedure, asappropriate.Pole mountingIf you want to pole-mount the antenna, obtain a pole ofsuitable length with a 1 inch 14 TPI thread.1GNSS antenna2Pole mount adaptor3Mounting pole (not supplied)1.

This information is used to identifyand track vessels in the surrounding area and to providefast, automatic and accurate collision avoidance data.Although AIS augments your Radar app by operatingin Radar blind spots and detecting smaller AIS-fittedvessels, it does not replace your Radar, as it relies onreceiving transmitted AIS information and thereforecannot detect objects such as landmasses, navigationalbeacons or vessels not equipped with AIS.Note:NEVER assume that AIS is displaying informationfrom all vessels in the area, because:• Not all vessels are fitted with AIS• Although it is mandatory for larger commercialvessels to carry AIS, it is not mandatory to use it.AIS should be used only to augment Radarinformation, not substitute it.AIS limitationNever assume that your AIS is detecting all vessels inthe area. Always exercise due prudence and do not useAIS as a substitute for sound navigational judgement.Classes of AISClass A transceiversClass A AIS transceivers transmit and receive AISsignals. AIS transceivers are currently mandatory onall commercial vessels exceeding 300 tons that travelinternationally (SOLAS vessels).The following information can be transmitted by a ClassA AIS system:• Static data (Includes information such as MMSInumber, vessel name, vessel type, call sign, IMOnumber, length, beam and GNSS antenna location).• Voyage related data (Includes information such asdraft, cargo, destination, ETA and other relevantinformation).• Dynamic data (Includes information such as time(UTC), ship’s position, COG, SOG, heading, rate of turnand navigational status).• Dynamic reports (Ship’s speed and status).• Messages (Alarms and safety messages).Remember that not all vessels will transmit all of theinformation.Class B transceiversClass B AIS transceivers transmit and receive AISsignals, but use a reduced set of data compared to ClassA (seeData Summary). A Class B AIS transceiver can befitted on any vessel not fitted with a Class A transceiver,but is not mandatory aboard any vessel.Data SummaryDataReceiver(receive)Trans-ceiver(transmit)Trans-ceiver (re-ceive)Ship'snameYes Yes YesType Yes Yes YesCall sign Yes Yes YesIMOnumberYes No YesLengthand beamYes Yes YesAntennalocationYes Yes YesDraft Yes No YesCargo In-formationYes Yes Yes46

This is dependent on a number offactors, including but not limited to antenna height,gain and signal interference.Class A systemsShips DynamicConditionsReporting rateNot changingcourseChangingcourseAt anchoror moored,moving lessthan 3 knots3 Minutes 3 MinutesAt anchoror moored,moving greaterthan 3 knots10 Seconds 10 Seconds0-14 knots 10 Seconds 3 1/3 Seconds14-23 knots 6 Seconds 2 SecondsFaster than 23knots2 Seconds 2 SecondsClass B systemsShips DynamicConditionsReporting rate (nominal)SOTMDA – 0 to 2 knots 3 MinutesSOTMDA – 2 to 14 knots 30 SecondsSOTMDA – 14 to 23knots15 SecondsSOTMDA – Greater than23 knots5 SecondsShips DynamicConditionsReporting rate (nominal)CSTMDA – 0 to 2 knots 3 MinutesCSTMDA – Greater than2 knots30 SecondsOther AIS sourcesSource Reporting rateSearch and Rescue(SAR) aircraft10 SecondsAids to navigation (AToN) 3 MinutesAIS base station 10 Seconds or 3.33Seconds, depending onoperating parametersAIS overview 47
