This board was constructed in an ESD (electro–static discharge) protected environment. This is because most of the semiconductor devices used in this board are susceptible to damage by static discharge. Depending on the magnitude of the charge, device substrates can be punctured or destroyed by contact or mere proximity of a static charge. The results can cause degradation of device performance, early failure, or immediate destruction. These charges are generated in numerous ways such as simple contact, separation of materials, and normal motions of persons working with static sensitive devices. When handling or servicing equipment containing static sensitive devices, adequate precautions must be taken to prevent device damage or destruction. Only those who are thoroughly familiar with industry accepted techniques for handling static sensitive devices should attempt to service circuitry with these devices. In all instances, measures must be taken to prevent static charge build–up on work surfaces and people handling the devices. 165M1161-- 00 Page iii Initial Issue Aug. 23/10 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems FCC Certification This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules.

Initial Issue Aug. 23/10 165M1161-- 00 Page 1-- 2 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems AtoN AIS Introduction 1.1. System Overview The Aid to Navigation (AtoN) Automatic Identification System (AIS) is designed to be installed as an integral part of weather and navigation buoys to transmit warnings, navigational, and meteorological data to approaching vessels. Two versions of the AtoN AIS are available: Type 1 transmits output messages, while Type 3 transmits and receives messages. In its most basic form, the unit transmits a report with the AIS AtoN’s position in an ITU--R M. 1371 message 21. When the unit contains a daughterboard or it interfaces with the buoy’s navigational and weather instrumentation, additional messages transmit navigational and meteorological data. A summary of all the messages processed by the AIS AtoN are defined in this section. The L3 PROTEC--D AtoN AIS provides all AtoN capabilites for use in an office environment, such as a port authority. 1.2. AIS AtoN Messages The AIS AtoN transmission schedule and VHF slot assignments are determined by a competent authority and used to configure the AIS AtoN prior to activation and installation. At a minimum, the AIS AtoN transmits message 21 and can be configured to transmit the optional messages 6, 8, 12, 14, 17, and 25. All of these messages are specified in ITU--R M.1371. This section briefly describes each message. Table 1-- 1.

Install the VHF Antenna Installation of a VHF antenna is as important to reliable communications as the transceiver itself. Figure 3--1 illustrates a typical VHF antenna setup. VHF Antenna 159 Mhz Center Frequency <2.0 VSWR 6db Relative Gain 50 ohm GPS VHF N Connector RG213RG214 Coaxial Cable 30 Meters 100 Feet Figure 3--1. VHF Antenna Setup Purchase a VHF marine band antenna from an established source and follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions with particular attention to the cable routing and connector installation. When installing the VHF antenna, follow the cautions below. Place the antennas as high as practical and separate them as much as possible. Place the antenna in an elevated position with a minimum of 2 meters of clearance from all conductive material. Install the antenna away from large, vertical obstructions. Ensure that the antenna has a 360° line of sight to the horizon. To install the VHF antenna, perform the following: 165M1161-- 00 Page 3-- 3 Initial Issue Aug. 23/10 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems 3.9. (1) Position the antenna mounting bracket on a rigid and structurally sound surface and install the antenna. (2) Run the coaxial cable from the antenna to the AIS AtoN location. (3) Trim the cable, leaving a few inches of slack at the AIS AtoN. (4) Attach the connectors to the end of the coaxial cable. Solder the connection. (5) To make sure that the cable is not shorted, check it with an ohm meter. (6) Connect the cables to the AIS AtoN. Install the GPS Antenna Since the synchronization of internal transmission of the AtoN AIS relies on the accuracy of the time signal obtained from the GPS system, the correct installation of this antenna is crucial. To enhance good transmission, purchase a high quality GPS antenna from an established source and follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions, paying particular attention to the cable routing and connector installation. Figure 3--2 illustrates a typical GPS antenna setup. GPS TNC Male Connector VHF N Connector GPS Antenna 5 VDC <3.0 VSWR 30dbl Total Gain 50 ohm RG213RG214 Coaxial Cable 9 Meters 30 Feet Figure 3--2. GPS Antenna Setup When installing the GPS antenna, consider the following. Initial Issue Aug. 23/10 Be sure no obstructions are between the antenna and the sky. Since GPS signals can be affected negatively by VHF transmissions, try to position the GPS antenna at least 3 meters from the VHF antenna. Position the antenna as high as possible to prevent ice or spray from negatively affecting signal reception. 165M1161-- 00 Page 3-- 4 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems To install the GPS antenna, perform the following: (1) Position the antenna mounting bracket and/or antenna mast on a rigid, structurally sound surface. NOTE: To reduce signal attenuation, use only high quality RG213/RG214 coaxial cable and keep the cable length as short as possible. (2) Run the coaxial cable from the antenna to the transponder location. (3) Trim the cable, leaving a few inches of slack at the AIS AtoN. (4) To make sure that the cable is not shorted, check it with an ohm meter. (5) Attach the connectors to the end of the coaxial cable. Solder the connection. (6) Connect the cable to the AIS AtoN, and solder the connection. 165M1161-- 00 Page 3-- 5 Initial Issue Aug. 23/10 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.

Reset the AIS AtoN From the ARM HyperTerminal Console When the AIS AtoN is running and trace messages are displayed on the ARM HyperTerminal console, the unit can be reset at any time by holding the “Ctrl” key and typing “C” twice quickly. This eliminates the need to cycle the power and restart the AIS AtoN. Trace messages should scroll through the HyperTerminal screen. 4.5. Troubleshoot the HyperTerminal Since the HyperTerminal provides a direct portal to the AtoN CPU, in rare circumstances it may stop displaying trace messages. Use the following instructions to display trace messages. 4.6. (1) Press “ESC,” and a “Hit Any Key to Reboot” message appears. Press any key, so the system reboots. (2) If messages are not displayed once the unit is reset or a key is pressed, close the HyperTerminal screen and re--open it. (3) If trace messages are not displayed after shutting down and re--opening the HyperTerminal screen, do the following. i. Shut down the computer and the turn off the AIS AtoN. ii. Unplug all connections to the unit. iii. Plug the connectors back into the unit, restart the AIS AtoN, and re--open the HyperTerminal screen. Resolve Failure Mode The AtoN handles antenna failures, based upon whether the problem occurs during a transmission or reception of a message. 4.6.1. For a Transmission Fault and Disabled Antenna A disabled antenna is detected by the AIS AtoN DSP as an antenna with a high VSWR during the transmission of a message. If a high VSWR is detected, the DSP stops transmission before a message completes transmission. 4.6.2. For Reception Fault The AIS AtoN uses a frequency synthesizer that incorporates a digital Phase Locked Loop (PLL). If both receivers are locked, a “Lock Detect” status signal is sent, indicating that the receivers are functioning. In Type 3 AtoNs, if either or both receivers fail to lock then the “Lock Detect” status indicates a fault, and RATDMA transmissions are stopped on the receiver that is not locked. 165M1161-- 00 Page 4-- 27 Initial Issue Aug. 23/10 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.

Recovery Mode of ARM Code Update Occasionally, the ARM code image in flash memory can be corrupted by an interrupted download or improper programming of the flash during production. If the flash is corrupted, a two--step process is required to load a flash image. NOTE: This method of updating the ARM code works whether there is an image in Flash or not. However, it is the only method that loads an ARM image if the Flash image is not present or is corrupt. (1) Install a jumper on the AtoN Baseband board. Connect the Utility #1 port to “HyperTerminal” at “115200 Baud.” The BMS jumper must be installed on the Baseband Board at PL10, between pins 13 and 14. PL10 is the 14--pin header located at the board edge near the Atmel AT91RM9200 processor device. Pins 13 and 14 are the end pins of both rows of PL10 at the end nearest the slot cutout in the PC board that allows the RF connector to be accessed. (2) Power up the AtoN. The “HyperTerminal” console displays “C” characters at around one per second. (3) When the “C” characters are displayed, the ARM code update can begin. On the “HyperTerminal” menu pull--down bar, click “Transfer” and “Send File.” (4) When the “Send File” screen opens, click the arrow in the “Protocol” box and select “Xmodem.” (5) Click the “Browse” button and find the ARM binary images in the window, usually located in the “Aton Images” folder. Double--click on “SerBoot.bin” file. (6) In the “Send File” window, click the “Send” button. This begins the actual transfer, as shown in Figure B--2. (7) When the transfer ends, “C” characters are automatically generated. (8) Click the “Browse” button and find the ARM binary images in the window, usually located in the “Aton Images” folder. A sample file is “AtoN_1_14K.bin.” The name corresponds to Rev 1.14K of the ARM code. Unless otherwise directed, select the file with the highest version number. (9) Double--click on the binary file. Click the “Send” button in the “Send File” window. This begins the transfer of the binary image. (10) When the binary file is completely transferred, “C” characters are automatically generated on the screen. (11) Remove the BMS jumper and power the board up again. The unit should boot normally and trace messages should appear in the “HyperTerminal” window.
