It is the user’s responsibility to use official government charts, notices to mariners, caution and proper navigational skill when operating this or any other Raymarine product. Caution: Power supply protection When installing this product ensure the power source is adequately protected by means of a suitably-rated fuse or automatic circuit breaker. RF safety notice RF radiation statement AIS transceivers generate and radiate radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME). Safe compass distance Safe compass distance is 1 meter minimum for any compass. Some compass types may require greater distances. To be sure, you should locate your AIS unit as far as possible from the compass. Test your compass to verify proper operation while the AIS unit is also operating. General information Caution: Cleaning When cleaning this product: • Do NOT wipe the display screen with a dry cloth, as this could scratch the screen coating. • Do NOT use abrasive, or acid or ammonia based products. • Do NOT use a jet wash. EMC installation guidelines Raymarine equipment and accessories conform to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations, to minimize electromagnetic interference between equipment and minimize the effect such interference could have on the performance of your system Correct installation is required to ensure that EMC performance is not compromised. For optimum EMC performance we recommend that wherever possible: • Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are: – At least 1 m (3 ft) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft (2 m). – More than 2 m (7 ft) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element. • The product is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. This is important to prevent erratic behavior and data loss which can occur if the engine start does not have a separate battery. • Raymarine specified cables are used. • Cables are not cut or extended, unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual. Note: Where constraints on the installation prevent any of the above recommendations, always ensure the maximum possible separation between different items of electrical equipment, to provide the best conditions for EMC performance throughout the installation Suppression ferrites Raymarine cables may be fitted with suppression ferrites. These are important for correct EMC performance. If a ferrite has to be removed for any purpose (e.g. installation or maintenance), it must be replaced in the original position before the product is used. Use only ferrites of the correct type, supplied by Raymarine authorized dealers. Connections to other equipment Requirement for ferrites on non-Raymarine cables If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable near the Raymarine unit. Declaration of conformity Raymarine Ltd. declares that this product is compliant with the essential requirements of EMC directive 2004/108/EC.

Important information Installation guide Information scope This document gives introductory, installation and troubleshooting information for your Raymarine Automatic Identification System (AIS) device. Refer to the proAIS2 User Manual and the operating manual for your Raymarine Multifunction Display, for instructions on how to configure and operate your AIS system. All documents are available to download as PDFs from www.raymarine.com AIS overview Your AIS device uses digital radio signals to exchange ’real-time’ information between vessels, shore based stations, or aids to navigation (AToNs) on dedicated VHF frequencies. This information is used to identify and track vessels in the surrounding area and to provide fast, automatic and accurate collision avoidance data. Although AIS augments your radar application by operating in radar blind spots and detecting smaller AIS-fitted vessels, it does not replace radar, as it relies on receiving transmitted AIS information and therefore cannot detect objects such as landmasses and navigational beacons. NEVER assume that AIS is displaying information from all vessels in the area, because: • Not all vessels are fitted with AIS • Although it is mandatory for larger commercial vessels to carry AIS, it is not mandatory to use it. AIS should be used only to augment radar information, not substitute it. • Dynamic data. Includes information such as time (UTC), ship’s position, COG, SOG, heading, rate of turn and navigational status. • Dynamic reports. Ship’s speed and status. • Messages. Alarms and safety messages. Remember that not all vessels will transmit all of the information. Warning: AIS limitation Never assume that your AIS is detecting all vessels in the area. Always exercise due prudence and do not use AIS as a substitute for sound navigational judgement. Classes of AIS Class B transceivers Class B AIS transceivers transmit and receive AIS signals, but use a reduced set of data compared to Class A (see Data Summary). A Class B AIS transceiver can be fitted on any vessel not fitted with a Class A transceiver, but is not mandatory aboard any vessel. Data Summary Receiver (receive) Transceiver (transmit) Transceiver (receive) Ship’s name Yes Yes Yes Type Yes Yes Yes Call sign Yes Yes Yes Class A transceivers IMO number Yes No Yes Class A AIS transceivers transmit and receive AIS signals. AIS transceivers are currently mandatory on all commercial vessels exceeding 300 tons that travel internationally (SOLAS vessels).

Data reporting intervals AIS information is classed as either static or dynamic. Static information is broadcast, when data has been amended, or upon request, or by default, every 6 minutes. The reporting rates for dynamic information depend on speed and course change, and are given in the following tables. Note: The reporting rates shown here are for reference and may not be the rate at which information is actually received by your AIS transceiver. This is dependent on a number of factors, including but not limited to antenna height, gain and signal interference. Important information Ships Dynamic Conditions Reporting rate 0 to 2 knots 3 Minutes Above 2 knots 30 Seconds Other AIS sources Source Reporting rate Search and Rescue (SAR) aircraft 10 seconds Aids to navigation 3 minutes AIS base station 10 seconds or 3.33 seconds, depending on operating parameters 11 System protocols Your product can be connected to various products and systems to share information and so improve the functionality of the overall system. These connections may be made using a number of different protocols. Fast and accurate data collection and transfer is achieved by using a combination of the following data protocols: SeaTalkng • • NMEA2000 • NMEA0183 Note: You may find that your system does not use all of the connection types or instrumentation described in this section. Seatalkng SeaTalkng (Next Generation) is an enhanced protocol for connection of compatible marine instruments and equipment. It replaces the older SeaTalk and SeaTalk2 protocols. SeaTalkng utilizes a single backbone to which compatible instruments connect using a spur. Data and power are carried within the backbone. Devices that have a low draw can be powered from the network, although high current equipment will need to have a separate power connection. SeaTalkng is a proprietary extension to NMEA 2000 and the proven CAN bus technology. Compatible NMEA 2000 and SeaTalk / SeaTalk2 devices can also be connected using the appropriate interfaces or adaptor cables as required. NMEA 2000 NMEA 2000 offers significant improvements over NMEA 0183, most notably in speed and connectivity. Up to 50 units can simultaneously transmit and receive on a single physical bus at any one time, with each node being physically addressable. The standard 12 was specifically intended to allow for a whole network of marine electronics from any manufacturer to communicate on a common bus via standardized message types and formats. NMEA 0183 The NMEA 0183 Data Interface Standard was developed by the National Marine Electronics Association of America. It is an international standard to enable equipment from many different manufacturers to be connected together and share information. The NMEA 0183 standard carries similar information to SeaTalk. However it has the important difference that one cable will only carry information in one direction. For this reason NMEA 0183 is generally used to connect a data receiver and a transmitter together, e.g. a compass sensor transmitting heading to a radar display. This information is passed in ‘sentences’, each of which has a three letter sentence identifier. It is therefore important when checking compatibility between items that the same sentence identifiers are used some examples of which are: • VTG - carries Course and Speed Over Ground data. • GLL - carries latitude and longitude. • DBT - carries water depth. • MWV - carries relative wind angle and wind speed data. NMEA baud rates The NMEA 0183 standard operates at a number of different speeds, depending upon the particular requirement or equipment capabilities. Typical examples are: • 4800 baud rate. Used for general purpose communications, including FastHeading data. • 9600 baud rate. Used for Navtex. • 38400 baud rate. Used for AIS and other high speed applications. AIS350 / AIS650 Installation instructions NMEA Connections You can connect your transceiver to your VHF radio set and a multifunction display using the NMEA connections on the power/data cable. The transceiver’s power and data connector provides NMEA0183 connections at both 4800 baud and 38400 baud rates, as follows: Wire color NMEA0183 Function Yellow 4800 baud IN - Gray 4800 baud IN + Pink 4800 baud OUT – Purple 4800 baud OUT + Green 38400 baud IN - White 38400 baud IN + Blue 38400 baud OUT - Brown 38400 baud OUT + A multiplexer built into the transceiver manages both 4800 and 38400 baud rates. This feature effectively frees up an NMEA port on your multifunction display. If only one NMEA0183 port exists on your equipment, the multiplexer eliminates the need for a separate multiplexer. Typically the NMEA0183 connections are used as follows: • The 4800 baud wires connect to the appropriate points on the VHF radio or other NMEA0183 4800 baud input/output device. • The 38400 baud wires connect to appropriate Raymarine multifunction display. The NMEA0183 port on each display connected in this manner must be set to 38400 baud.

Surface mounting When surface mounting the GPS antenna, you can route the cable either centrally (Option A) or from the side of the antenna (Option B). 1. Use the template supplied in this handbook to mark the two 6 mm (0.25 in) mounting holes. • OPTION A: If the cable is going to pass through the mounting surface drill a 19 mm (0.75 in) center hole. • OPTION B: If the cable is to be routed from the side of the receiver (i.e. above the mounting surface), remove the two plastic tabs (1) obstructing the cable channel. If you do not D12043-1 1. Ensure that the intended installation site meets the conditions described under Site requirements. 2. Using a pencil, offer up the unit and mark the location of the screw holes on the mounting surface. 3. Drill the mounting holes using a 3.2 mm (1/8”) drill bit. 4. Part fit the screws. 52 AIS350 / AIS650 Installation instructions remove these tabs before using the cable channel, you could damage the cable. Pole mounting If you want to pole-mount the GPS antenna, obtain a pole of suitable length with a 1 inch 14 TPI thread. Antenna Top view Underside view 2. Screw the two mounting studs (2) into the underside of the receiver. 3. Stick the supplied gasket (3) to the mounting surface, ensuring that the holes on the gasket correspond with the drilled holes. 4. Route the cable as follows: • For Option A, feed the cable down through the center hole. • For Option B, route the cable along the cable exit channel. 5. Carefully place the receiver so the mounting studs pass through the holes in the mounting surface. 6. Secure the receiver to the surface using the two thumb nuts (4). AIS650 Class B transceiver D11642-1 D11638-1 Pole mount adaptor 1. Ensuring that the Site requirements are met, securely attach the pole to a suitable, secure point. 2. Remove and retain the screws securing the GPS antenna from the pole mount adaptor, then separate these two items. 3. Screw the pole mount adaptor fully onto the pole and ensure it is secure on the pole. 4. Route the antenna cable as follows: i. If you want to route the antenna cable directly down from the antenna (option A), feed it through the center of the pole mount adaptor and then down through the pole. 53 ii. If you want to route the antenna cable out of the side of the antenna (option B), remove the two plastic tabs from the cable channel, then feed the cable along the channel. 5. Ensuring you do not trap the cable, place the GPS antenna on the pole mount adaptor so the screw holes align, then secure the antenna with the 2 screws retained at step 2. 3.17 System checks Switching on When the installation is complete, observe the STATUS indicator and: 1. Switch on power to the AIS transceiver. 2. Check that: i. When power is switched on, the STATUS indicator flashes RED, then after a few seconds goes AMBER. The amber condition continues while the transceiver acquires a GPS fix then transmits a position report. This can take up to 2 minutes. ii. When the first position report has been transmitted, the STATUS indicator goes GREEN. This condition remains all the time the transceiver is operating normally and transmitting. Configuration Warning: Configure before use This Raymarine product must be correctly configured, to ensure optimum performance and minimize the chances of unsafe or other erroneous data. Configuration requirement After installation and successful switch on, the AIS transceiver must be configured for optimum performance aboard the vessel. The person configuring the AIS transceiver needs to know the following vessel information: • MMSI number • Name • Call sign 54 AIS350 / AIS650 Installation instructions • Dimensions • Type • GPS antenna position The manner in which configuration is carried out depends on the legal requirements of the geographical area you are. Important: Before starting any AIS configuration procedure, SWITCH OFF all associated multifunction displays, otherwise you will not be able to correctly configure your AIS transceiver. 2. Check that the electronic systems all operate satisfactorily. Using AIS The exact method of using AIS depends on which type of Raymarine multifunction display you are using. Refer to the handbook for your multifunction display for information on using your AIS. USA In the USA, it is a legal requirement that the configuration is performed by a suitable dealer. You can use the supplied proAIS2 PC software, to check the vessel data programmed into your AIS transceiver. If this information is incorrect please contact your Raymarine dealer before using the transceiver. Areas outside of USA In areas outside of the USA, use the supplied proAIS2 PC software to configure your AIS transceiver, as described in the proAIS2 User Manual which can be found in the proAIS2 applications help menu. Checking for interference Post installation check If you have installed any system aboard a boat or made other changes to the boat’s electronic systems (radar, VHF radio etc.), you need to check before casting off, that all electrical systems operate satisfactorily without any undue electrical interference, in order to conform with Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations. To do this: 1. Ensuring it is safe to do so, turn on all electronic systems aboard your vessel.
