4.18 Alarm Signals Menu
(Default = On)
In this menu, the status of different alarm signals can be viewed and enabled or
disabled. The alarm signals will give validity information to the operator in case a
fault occurs. Therefore it is recommended to keep all the alarm signals set to ‘On’
which is the default setting.
The transponder contains a Built-In-Integrity-Test (BIIT) that continuously monitors
the standard functions of the equipment. This relay facility should be connected to
the ship’s main alarm panel. If any failure or malfunction is detected that will
significantly reduce the integrity or stop operation of the UAIS, a single alarm
message is displayed on the VDU touch-screen and the BIIT alarm relay activated.
If the alarm status continues the appropriate alarm message is repeated every 30
seconds on both the MAIN and AUX ports for display on other connected
equipment.

4.21 DGNSS Set-up Menu
UAIS can transfer differential data corrections via the AIS channels (message 17).
Data received via the RTCM input port may be sent to 2 reference stations whose
geographical co-ordinates are known and which have been manually set up. If the
reference station is transmitting RTCM message 3, it is showing its own coordinates that UAIS can store. No more than 4 reference stations can be stored at
any one time.
4.22 Engineering Mode
Engineering mode option in the Main setup menu is designed for testing and
setting up an UAIS at the factory, it is protected by a password known only by
authorised personnel. Users must not activate Engineering mode.

RAIM Present
(Automatically selected)
The station will automatically check for RAIM presence in working mode – by $-GBS sentences on Sens1, Sens2 or Sens3 inputs. The operator can manually
override the automatic selection by highlighting the RAIM line and selecting
Change. In normal circumstances this function is not used.
4.8
Setup System Password
For safety reasons some data is protected by a system password (maximum 8
characters). When the system is initially switched on, no password exists. Pressing
OK allows the user to enter the desired password. We strongly recommend that
during commissioning a password is entered to prevent the transmitted data from
being erased or amended either accidentally or maliciously. A record of this
password must be kept in a safe location as only authorised service personnel can
by-pass this system password.

4.9
Addressed Message Filter
(Automatically selected)
Enables filtering of addressed UAIS messages. When addressed message filter is
“on” the station does not display messages addressed to other AIS stations, when
“off” all received addressed messages will be displayed.
4.10 Media Analyser Mode
Designed to work with the proprietary Transas media analyser software. This option
should be set to “No”.
4.11 Max. Repeating Message 6, 12
(Default = 4)
This is the maximum number of times message 6 (addressed) and 12 (addressed
safety) are repeated if no acknowledgement is received.
4.12 Transmission w/o Sync
(Default = Yes)
The built-in GNSS unit will under normal conditions only be used for TDMA slot
timing. However if no data are received from the external sensors, the built-in
GNSS unit can be set to take over automatically and supply navigational
information for the VHF data link transmission. The changeover between internal
GNSS information use and external sensor information use happens automatically,
information received from the external sensors has priority and will always be used
when available. If no time slot synchronisation is available from either of these
sources and cannot be obtained from another station then this feature allows
transmission without TDMA synchronisation.

Extra Setup Menu
From the Main set-up menu, select Extra set-up that has the following options :4.15 Intern. GNSS Position
The internal GNSS is used for TDMA synchronisation. However, if the navigational
information is not supplied from the main external GNSS, the internal GNSS unit
may be utilised to supply the navigational information. The recommended setting for
this parameter is ‘Enable’.

4.16
Dist.Int.GNSS-Bow
Dist.int.GNSS-Stern
Dist.int.GNSS-Port
Dist.int.GNSS-Starboard
If the internal GNSS is enabled to supply navigational information it is necessary to
set up the relative position of the GNSS antenna as illustrated below. This should
be carried out during commissioning.
The distances marked as A, B, C and D on the illustration below are the distances
from the internal TDMA synchronisation GNSS antenna to the ship’s bow, stern,
port side and starboard. Distances are in meters, see below table for maximum
values.
Distance (mtrs)
0-511 = 511m or greater
0-511 = 511m or greater
0-63 = 63m or greater
0-63 = 63m or greater
In the rare case of a GNSS antenna installed in the portside corner of a rectangular
bow, the values A and C would both be zero. Should this be the case, either A or C
should be set to 1 to avoid misinterpretation, because A=C=0 is used to signify “not
available”.
4.17 Out Position to MAIN & AUX
(Default = Yes)
If own ship’s position information is required as an output from the Transponder to
another device i.e ECDIS or ARPA.

3.31 Log File
The Transponder logs all major events which occur during its operation. These may
be viewed as Unfiltered (all events), Alarms (alarm conditions only) or Security
(events directly affecting operation). Each screen will only display the latest 40
events in its category;.
The three digits are a running counter of the events, which wraps round (from 999
to 000). The characters following indicate the type of event, and a brief description.
When the log becomes full the oldest items are overwritten.
Use the up and down keys to highlight a particular log entry. The top line of the
display shows the timestamp for the selected log entry as date (DD-MM-YY), time
(HH:MM:SS) and elapsed time since power on (ClkCnt = D/HH:MM:SS.SS Note:
This count is incremental, eg hours and days only appear after appropriate periods
of time). The second line of the display shows the full text for the highlighted log
entry.
When the highlighted log entry is 'Last power down' the timestamp for the power
down event is contained within the full text of the highlighted log entry and not at the
top of the screen. For this special case the top line will be a null timestamp.
89-042 Issue 5
27
Note that after power up approximately 2 minutes elapses before the UTC is
available (log entry 'UTC clock found'). During this time period, and for about 30
seconds after, any entries to the log file will have a null timestamp (00-00-00
24:60:60). The elapsed time from power up will be valid. Approximately 2.5 minutes
after power up log entries will be both timestamped and show an elapsed time since
power on.
To determine the actual timestamp of a log entry that shows null time, calculate by
finding the time at which the UTC is detected and subtracting the difference in
elapsed times from the UTC.

For safety reasons this menu is protected by a system password which is normally
entered during commissioning. (See section 4.8 Setup System Password on
page 36).
3.36 Display Brightness Menu
To adjust the touch-screen LCD to suit ambient light conditions, select Display
Brightness from the Main menu. Both LCD brightness and contrast can be
changed from this menu. Although not apparent, the buttons remain on, available at
all times in ghost format. This means that when the area where the button is located
is pressed the LCD backlight brightness and contrast can be changed from any
menu screen without the need to enter the Display Brightness menu.

WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE UAIS HAS BEEN CORRECTLY INSTALLED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH IMO GUIDELINES AND INSTALLATION MANUAL
BEFORE SWITCHING ON
Please read all the warning notices at the front of this manual before turning on the
Transponder.
Before switching on the power supply for the first time, conduct a thorough visual
inspection of all cabling and connections to determine that they are terminated
correctly and that the 24VDC power supply has been connected appropriately.
After installation, it is necessary to carry out an initial set-up procedure. This
procedure is carried out using the VDU and selecting the Enter setup menu.
It is now safe to switch on the system for the first time.
NOTE: If the display is not easy to read, refer to section 3.35 which details how to
adjust the display.
For a complete overview of the commissioning menu structure, please refer to
Appendix 2 “UAIS Commissioning Menu Hierarchy” at the back of this Manual.
The static data related to the vessel, such as Name and MMSI number, must be
entered via the VDU as well as configuring all input and output data interface ports.
It is very important that a record of the installation related parameters is kept on
board the ship, as these parameters may need to be changed. A record of these
parameters can be entered into the Warranty Registration & Acceptance Record
found in the Installation Manual. A copy of the completed record should be faxed to
the manufacturer in order to validate the 24-month warranty period.
4.1
Initial Start-up
Ensure that power is available to the Transponder unit and that the main power
on/off switch, located to the left side of the cable entry of the Transponder, is
switched to the “on” position (green LED illuminated). At this point the Transponder
is active and will wait for 1 minute before entering the network and starting
transmission as it is listening to other stations to determine its own transmission
time slot sequence schedule.
Press
to switch on VDU. To switch off, press and hold for 2
seconds.
NOTE: When re-starting the VDU, the screen displayed will be that when the VDU
was switched off.
