For detailed mechanical drawings, see chapter 14 Outline Drawings TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual 42 8.1.3 Antennas As a general rule, longer horizontal distances to other antennas will minimize the interference and improve reception on all antennas. Minimum distance is described in the figures below: Other VHF antenna or GPS antenna VHF antenna for AIS: >10 meters Figure 8-5 Horizontal separation distance. VHF antenna for AIS: VHF antenna for AIS: See subchapters below for detailed description > 2.5 meters > 2.5 meters Other VHF antenna >0,5 meter GPS antenna >0,5 meters Figure 8-6 Vertical separation and distance from mast or other object of metal. For best isolation between antennas, place directly underneath with no horizontal separation. TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual 43 8.1.3.1 GPS Antenna When selecting a mounting location for the antenna, keep in mind the following points. 1. Select a location out of the radar beam. The radar beam will obstruct or prevent reception of the GPS satellite signal. 2. There should be no interfering object within the line-of-sight to the satellites. Objects within the line-of-sight to a satellite, for example a mast, may block reception or prolong acquisition time. 3. Mount the antenna unit as high as possible to keep it free of interfering objects and water spray, which can interrupt reception of GPS satellite signal if the water freezes. 8.1.3.1.1 Standalone type TR-8000 is delivered as standard with a Sanav SA200 GPS antenna with stainless steel stand and 15 meter cable with TNC connectors in both ends for direct connection between transponder and antenna. The antenna can be mounted with three 6 mm bolts. When Standalone GPS antenna is used, an additional VHF antenna must also be connected For detailed description of this antenna, see Chapter 14 Outline Drawings Calculation of cable length/attenuation etc is described in chapter 8.2 TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual 44 8.1.3.1.2 Combined VHF/AIS As an option to the individual VHF and GPS antennas, a combined antenna may be used in conjunction with a signal splitter which will provide a common cable between the signal splitter and the antenna, and two short jumper cables between splitter and transponder. The combined antenna is delivered with a mounting bracket to be mounted on a mast . Calculation of cable length/attenuation etc is described in chapter 8.2 TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual 45 8.1.3.2 VHF Antenna When individual GPS antenna is used, the additional VHF antenna must also be connected For detailed description of this antenna, see Chapter 14 Outline Drawings Location of the mandatory AIS VHF-antenna should be carefully considered. Digital communication is more sensitive than analogue/voice communication to interference created by reflections in obstructions like masts and booms. It may be necessary to relocate the VHF radiotelephone antenna to minimize interference effects. Install the VHF antenna referring to drawings in beginning of this chapter The antenna should be connected using RG214 cable or better using the connectors in the “Plug Kit” which is delivered with the units. Calculation of cable length/attenuation etc is described in chapter 8.2 TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual 46 8.2 Cabling All outdoor installed connectors on coaxial cables should be fitted with preventive isolation such as vulcanizing tape to protect against water penetration into the antenna cable. Coaxial cables should be installed in separate signal cable channels/tubes and at least 10 cm away from power supply cables. Crossing of cables should be done at right angles (90°). The minimum bend radius of the coaxial cable should be 5 times the cable's outer diameter. The cables should be kept as short as possible to minimize signal attenuation. The type of cables used onboard vessels should be: Halogen free Fire resistant or Flame retardant type Low smoke 8.2.1 GPS antenna The table below gives recommendations on cables that can be used for the GPS antenna connections: Type RG58 Attenuation @1.5 GHz (dB/100m) 90 RG214 35 RG225 30 Remark Default for use if length< 20 m and antenna = Procom GPS4 or SANAV SA-200 If combined GPS/VHF antenna from either AC-Marine, Procom or Comrod is used, this or better can be used Cable with lower loss For optimum performance of the transponder approximately +10dB gain should be available when the cable attenuation has been subtracted from the GPS antenna preamplifier gain. Note that Procom AIS2/GPS and Comrod AC17-AIS are combined VHF/GPS antennas and additional attenuation from connectors/ diplexer must be taken in consideration. Some examples below: Cable Type Antenna RG58 RG214 Procom GPS4 Procom AIS2/GPS Comrod AC17-AIS AC Marine VHF/GPS-B Procom AIS2/GPS Comrod AC17-AIS AC Marine VHF/GPS-B RG225 Preamplifier Gain (dB/100m) 30 28 20 18 28 20 18 TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual Recommended cable length (m) <20 meter 10-30 meter 10-20 meter 10-20 meter 10-40 meter 10-30 meter 10-30 meter 47 8.2.2 VHF antenna The table below shows the attenuation on the VHF frequencies with different cable types: Cable Type RG214 RG225 Attenuation @150 MHz (dB/100m) Diameter (mm) Weight (kg/100m) 10,8 10,9 18,5 23,3 Example: A RG 214 cable with length of 40 meters will have an attenuation of 2,8 dB. Please keep the cables as short as possible, and be aware that 3 dB losses mean only half the output power. If you have a transmitter delivering 12,5 W, and you have 3 dB losses in the cable, only 6,25 Watts will be at the antenna. 8.2.3 Cable between Transponder and Display Unit The cable connecting the Transponder and the Display Unit has specially designed connectors on each end for waterproofing. The cable itself is a standard CAT-5 network cable In order to ease wiring and installation, an optional cable is available with one end open, delivered with a small kit for post wiring assembly. If the specified cable type is not used, the splash proofing of the unit is seriously degraded and the warranty is void if used in humid environment. Figure 8-7 Connection cable for interconnection between the Transponder and the Display Unit NOTE! If the units are mounted indoors in a warm dry environment without any need for water tightness, a standard CAT-5 or CAT-6 network cable may be used between the Transponder and the Display unit TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual 48 8.3 Wiring and Connections Figure 8-8 Block diagram of typical connections Wiring and connection of Antennas (GPS + VHF) are described in chapter 8.1.3 TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual 49 8.3.1 Transponder In order to connect all sensors and external connections to the Transponder Unit, the lid must be removed by removing the screws on top of the unit. Pay attention to the seal gasket on the inside of the lid and the small o-ring positioned on the center screw. These gaskets need to be in place when mounted in order to keep the unit waterproof. When the lid is off, the connections to sensors, ECS etc can be made. The inner lid shall not be removed by user.

How to use this monitor, is described in chapter 10.2.1.6 TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual 54 8.3.1.5 External display – ECDIS/Radar connections The TR-8000 have a very flexible solution when it comes to connecting ECS/ECDIS, Modern Radar or Chart plotter for displaying AIS data on a more advanced display than the TR-8000 Display unit, which only gives you basic text/graphic information. On modern ECS, Radars, Chart plotters etc. the vessels received by the TR-8000 will be shown as a separate “Layer” or “Overlay” with configurable alarms on collision probability (CPA/TCPA) together with high resolution accurate charts. The TR-8000 Transponder unit can be connected in three different ways: 1. 2. 3. RS422 (Default) , connections 4-9 RS232 , connections 42-44 Ethernet (UDP), connected either instead of the TR-8000 display unit, or together with a network Switch in parallel with the Display Unit Figure 8-12 External display connections See also chapter 10.2.1.2 which describes how to configure “External Display” options and table in chapter 8.3.1.2 for details of pinouts Default speed on this port is 38400 baud. 42 43 44 In/Out Type In IEC61162-2 In Out RS422 Usage External Display Out Out In RS232 External Display Name RD2-B(+) RD2-GND (Iso Gnd) RD2-A(-) TD2-A(-) TD2-GND (Iso Gnd) TD2-B(+) TX ( Transmit) RX ( Receive) 232-GND( Ground ) Figure 8-13 Ethernet RJ45 connector In/Out Out/In Out /In In/Out In/Out Type Ethernet (UDP) 100Base-T Usage Name TX+ / RX+ TX- / RXTR-8000 RX+ / TX+ Display Unit Or External RX- / TXDisplay Please note!

Other configurations may be used, but remember that the Alarm must function both on AIS Alarm conditions, and power failure to the AIS. Figure 8-16 Typical Alarm connection The Alarm relay is a normally open earth free relay contact, provided as an independent and simple method for triggering an external alarm. The alarm relay is active in case of power off and is capable of driving a 2A current. The maximum voltage over the alarm relay must not exceed 48V. The alarm relay is deactivated upon acknowledgment of an alarm, either internally on the display unit, or by an externally provided ACK sentence. If the Transponder power is lost, and the Alarm relay has power, the alarm will be triggered. In this case, the only way to deactivate the Alarm is to power the Transponder unit or disconnect the power source of the Alarm relay. TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual 57 8.3.1.8 Detailed description of connections, fuses, factory reset etc. The RS-232 terminal is only for factory use The upper right preset button can be used to restore factory settings at two levels. It is assumed that no SD card is present in the transponder SD card reader. a. To reset the IP settings for the transponder and the connection to the display to default values if these setting have been reconfigured and are unknown: Press the upper right preset button and apply power. Keep the button pressed until the alarm LED starts flashing after approx. 10 seconds. Then release the button immediately . The IP settings are now reset to factory default b. To restore the complete factory setting, all programmed parameters are lost: Press the upper right preset button and apply power. Keep the button pressed. Watch the alarm LED carefully, after approx. 10 sec it should start flashing for 5 seconds and then stop. After some seconds it will flash a sequence rapidly. The preset button should now be released, and the factory settings are now restored. There are two fuses connected in series with the Main and Backup power. There is no visual indication on fuse failure, but a quick voltage measurement on each side of the fuse should give an indication. If a fuse is blown, consider possible reasons for fuse failure and replace the fuse if the reason for failure is repaired. Spare fuses are provided. If all spares are used, contact distributor. Replace fuses with identical fuses only. Use of other fuses or such will make all warranty void. The SD card reader is used for Software upgrades provided by Jotron only. This must be performed by Jotron trained Dealers/Distributors/Service Agents The RST button is used to reset the almanac data of the internal GPS in case of error. In order to reset the almanac, power off the unit and then press the RST button for approximately 2s. When you power up the unit again, the internal GPS will use some time to obtain a fix. Approximately up to 15 minutes. The GPS-Antenna Voltage jumper is used to select phantom feed for an active antenna either 5 or 3.3V. The maximum recommended current drawn from these ports is 50 mA. The termination jumpers for the sensors, external display, pilot terminal and DGNSS beacon are made available in order to lower the differential input resistance of the port in order to enable for longer cables. The differential input resistance is approximately 7700 Ohm without jumper and 240 Ohm with the jumper connected.

Not subject to target swap. Not subject to target loss in clutter. TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual 63 - Not subject to target loss due to fast manoeuvres. Able to detect ships within VHF/FM coverage. IMPORTANT When using the AIS for anti-collision purposes it is important to remember that the AIS is an additional source of navigation information. It does not replace other navigational systems. The AIS may not always give the right picture of the traffic in your area separately. 9.4 Erroneous information Erroneous information implies a risk to other ships as well as your own. Incorrectly configured or calibrated sensors might lead to transmission of incorrect information. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that all information entered into the system is correct and up to date. TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual 64 10 Operation Instructions 10.1 Configuration Menu The AIS configuration menu consists of six menus, containing the settings and configurations most applicable to the user. Some settings are write-protected by administrator password, but the user is always allowed to view the current settings. 10.1.1 Own Ship The own ship configuration is for setting the static data of the ship and is primarily only used during setup/installation but should also be checked regularly (at least once a month).

TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual 68 10.1.3 Regional Settings The Regional Settings are primarily used by local base stations to assign special frequencies or transmitter configurations for certain areas. It is also allowable to add or edit the regions, but this should be done with caution, as incorrect frequency settings for an area will disable the functionality of the AIS system. Altering the regional settings is protected by a user password. The Area named HIGH SEA, is the default area and contains the whole world, except from the other regions, if defined. Each Region is defined by the following parameters: Area, defined as North East corner and South West corner Two channels used for VHF communications Rx/Tx mode is used to restrict the transmission to one of the two channels. Output Power is chosen between High or Low setting (1W or 12.5W) Transitional zone defines the area surrounding an area in order to switch the frequencies in a step by step order.
