3. Working mode
3.1. Position fixing
Position fixing and timing are performed by the internal GPS receiver.
3.2. Back up at configuration setting
The following data are saved by an internal E2prom microprocessor:




Slots and transmission channels.
Message number to be transmitted.
AIS beacon Id.
Definition of sensors outputs parameters, etc.
3.3. Events back up
A log file of essential events is recorded for subsequent analysis. Recorded data are the following:
 Regular storage of technical parameters, operating voltage, internal temperature, quality of
power transmission information.
 Storage of defaults, GPS failure, unintentional reset, etc.
3.4. Working safety
At each power-on, a self-test is performed by the system to check:
 operating voltage;
 program integrity by checksum calculation;
 operation of different peripherals;
 consistency of 32, 768 KHz clock and frequency of microprocessor quartz.
The self-test result is displayed on the LED located at the base of the dome.
3.5. Serial interfaces
Two RS232 and RS845 serial interfaces are available:
 The RS232 serial interface is used for:
- AtoN transmitter configuration;
- Monitoring of message transmission;
- downloading software updates;
- recovering file of recorded events.
 The RS485 serial interface is used for:
- meteorological and hydrological data input.
3.6. On-going transmission
Messages transmitted on the VHF AIS through the NMEA VDM and VDO sentences, are reported
on the RS232 serial link.
In order to minimise power consumption, the serial link is only active if a peripheral (COM Port of
PC) is connected.
3.7. Update of software
Internal software can be update using the RS232 serial link and the configuration software.

3.8. Reception of meteorological and hydrological data
NMEA Format Data is input at 4800 bauds using the RS485 serial link.
Meteorological / Hydrological data acquisition and processing by the CPU can take a considerable
time. Consequently a programmable parameter has been included in the configuration software
which may be used to extend the wake up time of the transponder to take this into account.
3.9. Reception of technical data
Data supplied by the remote monitoring system are accessible on RS232 or RS485 serial link.
The choice of this serial link is performed during the transponder configuration.
3.10. Specification of TOR inputs
Four inputs and one common signal that can be connected either to a PLUS or to a MINUS of a
power supply.
The four inputs are insulated by an optocoupler with AC inputs; the characteristics of these four
inputs are the following:
 Insulated by optocoupler, 5300 Vrms insulation voltage.
 Protected by Transil and polyswitch, 30 V 600 W voltage protection during 1 ms.
 Operating voltage 30 V to 3.3 V.

5. Failures analysis
This section is a guide for diagnostic and resolution of the most current problems.
5.1. Self-test
When the transponder is switched on, a self-test is carried.
 The LED lights green for 3 seconds then displays the result of the self-test..
 The LED lights red for 3 seconds if the test has failed, then transmits a series of long red
flashes with a period of 1 second. The number of flashes gives an indication of the faulty
parameter detected during the self-test.
