The AIS system transmits own ship data cyclically via two defined VHF channels and receives the same data of the other ships and objects that are equipped with AIS systems. The VHF channels in use can be switched over by external commands via the integrated DSC receiver. Based on SOLAS Chapter V - Safety of Navigation, a carriage requirement will enter into force for different categories of ships. This obligation will be introduced step by step for different ship classes and sizes, commencing on 1st July 2002 (all new vessels) and continuing until 1st July 2008 (all ships worldwide having gross tonnages of at least 500 tons, and ships sailing internationally with gross tonnages of at least 300 tons, but by 1st July 2007 at the latest). In addition, other vessels or objects to which the provisions of regulations do not apply may be equipped on a voluntary basis. Depending on the number of equipped vessels the degree of nautical safety is increased by AIS. The System Components The equipment described in these Operating Instructions is designed for installation on ships where such installation is mandatory, and meets the relevant requirements. It consists of: the UAIS Electronics Unit DEBEG 3400, which contains complex electronics (including two VHF transmitters, a DSC receiver, a GPS receiver and the data processor) but no operating or display elements, the VHF antenna, the GPS antenna, the Display and Control Unit (DCU), on which the operating procedures described here take place, connected to the Primary Display Port, and the 24 VDC power supply optionally connected to the ship’s emergency power supply which is necessary for the Electronics Unit and DCU. VHF antenna GPS antenna Display and Control Unit (DCU) Enter Menu Primary Display Port AIS Electronics Unit Pilot Port see page 7 On Long Range Port see page 25 Power supply (24 VDC) Nav. Sensors Gyro Log GPS ED 3047 G 122 / – (2002-12) b_ai_e01.fm / 19.12.02 Power supply (24 VDC) DCU DEBEG 3401 1 Overview Operating Instructions The Display and Control Unit (DCU) Targets and AIS Objects With regard to the objects that can be detected by the AIS system and whose data can be displayed, a distinction is drawn between the following: Targets: ships that are equipped with an AIS system, divided into Class A targets: ships that are subject to the SOLAS Convention (see above) Class B targets: all other ships and boats, e.g. including pleasure craft SAR aircraft: search-and-rescue aeroplanes or helicopters Base stations: shore stations of the AIS system, e.g. traffic control centres ☞ In the equipment described here, SAR aircraft are treated in much the same way as AIS Class A targets, and are mentioned only in those cases where there are differences. ☞ For simplification, this Operating Instructions uses the designation "target(s)" for all ships and objects sending data via AIS. Situation Display Targets and the own ship symbol can be displayed in a Situation Display. The triangular symbols indicate the headings of the targets. In addition to the Situation Display, it is also possible to display the data received from a target (e.g. its position, course, speed, heading, name, destination etc.), as well as data determined by the DCU relative to the own ship (range, bearing) - see Section 3.2. Safety Messages and Long Range Interrogation Via the, Safety Messages 1) can be communicated if necessary, which are then passed on by all receiving AIS systems as a message or an alarm to their display units. The procedures for dealing with the Safety Messages received, and for transmitting your own Safety Messages, are described in Section 4.1 and 4.2. 1) Situation Display: Own ship with heading line, targets and range rings Also called Safety Related Messages in the relevant regulations. ED 3047 G 122 / – (2002-12) b_ai_e01.fm / 19.12.02 1 Overview DCU DEBEG 3401 Operating Instructions The AIS system can also be interrogated about ship data by an (external) system, e.g. via a SatCom system. Details of this are described in Section 4.3. Monitoring/Setting of the Own Ship Data Transmitted Most of the information transmitted from your own AIS system is generated automatically by the system. The navigation data necessary for this are received by the AIS system from the connected sensors (e.g. gyro, log, GPS receiver). However, some items of information (e.g. ship's draught, hazardous cargo, destination, ETA) have to be defined by the operator - see Section 5.1. IMPORTANT Because these data are voyage-dependent, their updating by the responsible navigator should be assured by including them in the Navigational Check List. Setting of the communication technique (channel selection, bandwidth, transmission power etc.) usually takes place fully automatically. In very rare cases, however, manual setting procedures too might be necessary for this channel management process. For details, see Section 5.3. Other Operating Possibilities; Pilot Port The AIS system has yet another interface, called the "Pilot Port", by means of which e.g. the pilot connects a device of his own, from which he can operate the AIS system and can read the desired data. Scope of Applicability of these Operating Instructions These Operating Instructions refer to the Display and Control Unit DEBEG 3401 which is approved under the software version stated on the title page in conjunction with the UAIS Electronics Unit DEBEG 3400. The Pilot Port has the same functions as the Primary Display Port. ☞ On page 32, there is a description of how the software version of the DCU can be displayed. ED 3047 G 122 / – (2002-12) b_ai_e01.fm / 19.12.02 1 Overview DCU DEBEG 3401 Operating Instructions ED 3047 G 122 / – (2002-12) b_ai_e01.fm / 19.12.02 2 General Remarks about Operating Procedures and Display DCU DEBEG 3401 Operating Instructions 2.1 Switching the Display and Control Unit On and Off General Remarks about Operating Procedures and Display The AIS Electronics Unit continually broadcasts the own ship data (i.e. position, speed, course etc.) which can be received by all other AIS stations in VHF range. The information is displayed on the Display and Control Unit DCU. The Electronics Unit and the DCU are independent of each other i.e. the Electronics Unit will work (send and receive) even when the DCU is switched off. Other installations are available, where the radar system or the ECDIS is used as display and operating unit for the AIS functions. 2.1 Switching the Display and Control Unit On and Off Switching the DCU on and off is done by pressing the ON/OFF key. ☞ 2.2 At the instant of switching on, the brightness setting that existed when the unit was switched off last is taken over. Therefore, it can happen that, after switch-on, the display remains dark and the keys are not lit up. Therefore, in a dark room it is then not possible to recognise that the unit is in the switched-on state. The display can be made brighter by pressing the 0 key; see also Section 2.7. ON/OFF Situation Display and Target Data Display Shortly after switching on, the operational display appears in the Display Area, showing the Situation Display and the Target Data Display: Display Area Situation Display Target Data Display Marking of the target whose data appear in the Target Data Display TARGET DATA MS BREMERHA VEN DTEH2 275635812 Class A Target POSITION 16:38.00 N 034:11.35 W Own ship symbol (always at the centre of the Situation Display) BRG/RNG 356.2° 7.2NM COG/SOG 321.6° 15.7kt Range Rings Functions of the softkeys that are situated below HDG/ROT 306.8° >1°/min RANGE 12NM MORE When an alarm occurs, the function ALARM appears here. Pressing the key below it, opens the alarm list ED 3047 G 122 / – (2002-12) b_ai_e02.fm / 19.12.02 DCU DEBEG 3401 2 General Remarks about Operating Procedures and Display Operating Instructions 2.3 Menu and Dialogs In the Situation Display, the own ship symbol and the target symbols are displayed at the correct positions in north-up display mode. The target symbols each indicate the heading of the target (ship). The own ship symbol is always situated at the centre of the display. For details, see Section 3.1. After switch-on, the Target Data Display first shows the own ship data. It is then possible to display the data received from each target, one target at a time; for details, see Section 3.2. ☞ The target data are transferred at defined time intervals. The interval between transfers depends on the speed and rate of turn of the target: for the data from which the DCU generates the target symbols, the interval lies between 2 seconds (the target speed exceeding 23 kt) and 3 minutes (when lying at anchor). Setting the range: With the left-hand key of the keys situated under the display, set the desired range (1.5, 3, 6, 12 or 24 NM) by pressing that key (several times if necessary). The radius of the outer Range Ring corresponds to the set value. 2.3 Menu and Dialogs The default information displayed on the DCU consists of the Situation Display and the Target Data Display. All other data displays and operating procedures take place in the various dialogs which can be operated via the menu. ☞ The menu covers the Target Data Display; dialogs take up the entire display area. Showing a dialog: By pressing the MENU key, switch on the menu; in the menu, mark the desired dialog by means of the ArrowUp/ArrowDown keys, and press the ENTER key. Switching off the dialog display: This is done in different ways in the various dialogs, depending upon whether data inputs can take place in the dialogs or whether only pure displays are involved. In addition to these specific methods described in the following sections, a dialog can always 1) be switched off by pressing the MENU key. Dialogs in which data inputs are possible are aborted by this action, i.e. data that have been entered are not taken over.

For details of editing, see Section 2.6. ENTER In addition, the ENTER key has special significance. Generally, it activates a marked function: In the Situation Display, the data of the marked target or marked own ship are displayed. In the menu, the marked dialog is called up. In the dialog, the marked field is opened for editing. In the case of editing, the changes made in this field by editing are put into intermediate storage and this editing field is closed. The 0 key too has another function over and above the editing function: it can be used to set the illumination of the display without opening the respective dialog- see Section 2.7. Arrow Keys With these, a selection can be made: In the Situation Display, a target or own ship is marked with the aid of the four keys. In the menu, these keys are used to mark the dialog to be opened. In the dialogs, they are used to mark the field that is to be edited. During this process, the ArrowUp/ArrowDown keys make the marker jump to the previous or next field that can be marked, and (in most dialogs) the ArrowRight/ArrowLeft keys make the marker jump to the bottom or top field that can be marked. In particular editing fields, the ArrowUp/ArrowDown keys can be used to change the value or to select one of the possible entries. ☞ In these cases, the message Use arrow keys appears in the dialog. In the other editing fields, the ArrowRight/ArrowLeft keys can be used to change the position of the editing cursor. The Softkeys The four keys situated below the display possess functions which depend on the operating situation. The function involved is shown inverted in the bottom line of the display. These functions are explained in the individual sections of these Operating Instructions. The MENU Key With this key, the menu is switched on and off. If there is a dialog open, this key aborts it. In the case of editing, the MENU key has no effect.

The display occurs if, in the Situation Display, the own ship symbol is marked instead of a target (see Section 3.2). 5.3 Channel Management The AIS Electronics Unit has two redundant VHF transceivers 1) (Channel A and Channel B), by which all AIS data described are transmitted and received. For the communication, various VHF channels are possible. The AIS system cannot function unless all AIS systems communicate on the same VHF channels and unless the communication bandwidth and the transmission level are correctly set. The settings needed for this are normally made automatically as described in the following. It is also possible to make a setting manually, but this should only be done in exceptional cases after the ship's command personnel have been informed accordingly. Automatic Setting Procedure As default values, VHF channels 2087 and 2088 are used, the bandwidth setting is Auto, and transmission is performed with power level High; transmission and reception take place on both channels. In particular situations or geographical regions, it is necessary to deviate from these settings. The necessary values are received by the AIS system from a base station either via DSC (VHF channel 70). For this purpose, each AIS system has an additional DSC receiver or via one of the VHF transceivers. The data set received in this way also contains the information about the region in which these settings are to be used, including the transition zone surrounding that region. As soon as the ship reaches one of the regions defined in the stored data sets, the AIS system uses the settings of the relevant data set. When the ship leaves the transition zone defined in that data set, there is a switch-over back to the default values or a switch-over to the data defined for that region. ☞ 1) 28 As soon as the Electronics Unit uses a different data set, this fact is indicated by the alarm Channel management changed. In fact, it contains two receivers and only one transmitter. By automatic frequency-selection, the transmitter can, in effect, be operated with both receivers simultaneously. Therefore, for the sake of simplicity, it is possible to speak of "two transceivers" here.
