Therefore, before a unit is opened, it must be ensured that the elec-trical supply to all units is, and remains, disconnected from the ship’s mains.
AIS 3410, Electronics UnitED3047G842 / 01 (2009-08)Technical Manual2  Overview2.1  Compatibility with Other Systemst_ue_e02.fm / 27.08.09112OverviewThe 3410 is an AIS Electronics Unit which receives data from other vessels by means of a VHF radio and sends these data to the radar/navigation system. In the opposite direction, the AIS receives data from the radar/navigation system and the ship’s sensors and transmits these data by means of the VHF radio.Access to these data and access to the VHF radio for a pilot is prepared by means of an additional pilot port.The AIS has a long range port to connect a long distance communication system, for instance a satellite communication system. In this way, the AIS can be called to send the ship’s data. These data are sent back via the long range port to the questioner.The AIS 3410 is equipped with a 16 channel GPS receiver and provides position data according to IEC 61162 Edition 3, so that it is suitable for the use as a position sensor. In areas where the VTS stations provide differential correction data via VHF link the AIS 3410 switches automatically into DGPS mode.For further details see Section 4.2.1 Compatibility with Other SystemsThe AIS 3410 can be used in the following system:- RADARPILOT/CHARTRADAR 1000/1100-NACOS xx-5-NACOS xx-4- CHARTPILOT Stand-alone- NACOS xx-3 (Radar 9xxx AIS Interface needed for the display of AIS targets at Radar 9xxx indica-tors and MULTIPILOTs in radar mode)- mixed systems consisting of Radar 9xxx and RADARPILOT 1000- Radar 9xxx (with Radar 9xxx AIS Interface)The AIS might not work with SAM Electronics systems/components which are running with older software versions. For further information, see the Technical Manuals of these systems or the Software Release Notes.It is also possible to use the AIS 3410 within systems from other manufacturers which support the IEC-defined interfaces.

If the height of the unit exceeds 0.5 metre, an extension by 1 m plus the height of the cabinet is neces-sary.- All cables should be kept as short as possible, especially coaxial cables to minimize attenuation of signal.In order to fulfil all abovementioned requirements, install cables in two steps:Install cables and leave extra length of 1 metre or more as described aboveCut cables to correct length in order to reach its terminal, but do not leave extra lengths furled inside or outside the cabinet-The cables must be marked by the electrician at both ends with the cable numbers corresponding to the SAM Electronics cabling documents.- Where necessary, particular cable glands - marked with letters and/or numbers - are assigned to the cables.The identification letters and numbers are stated in the connection diagrams; they are either fixed to the unit or can be seen from the outline drawings (...BZ or ...MB).- All connectors installed outdoors (e.g. on coaxial cables) should be waterproof by design to protect against water penetration into the 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°). Coaxial cables should not have any to sharp bends, which may lead to a change in the characteristic impedance of the cable. The minimum bend radius should be 5 times the cable’s outside diameter.- It must be ensured that all cables - including their screens - are passed into the units in contin-uous lengths and are not terminated before reaching the destination equipment.-With multicore cables, it is useful to strip down and lace the single wires according to the terminal sequence.- Existing cable grippers in the units must be used.- All cable connections must be carefully checked after completion of the cable work and all cable screens must be grounded via the shortest possible connections - if not stated otherwise in the Cabling Documents/Connection Diagram.

In general, the following points also apply:- The useful life of the components of all Electronics Units (Pulse Generators, Transceivers etc.) generally decreases with increasing ambient temperature; it is therefore advisable to install such units in air-conditioned rooms. If there are no such facilities - e.g. deckhouse or space near or below the water line - these rooms must at least be dry, adequately ventilated and kept at a suitable temperature in order to prevent the formation of condensation inside these units.- With most Electronics Units, cooling takes place via the surface of the casing.The cooling must not be impaired by partial covering of the unit as a result of insulation (if any) of the room (the wall on which the casing is mounted), or by installation of the unit in a confined cabinet.Furthermore, the distance from the ceiling and the floor or from a unit situated underneath must be at least 300 mm.- For service purposes, a power socket (AC 220/230 V) and adequate lighting are necessary in the vicinity of each Electronics Unit.- In the area of the wheel house, the distance of each Electronics Unit from the magnetic standard compass or the magnetic steering compass must not be less than the permitted magnetic protection distance.Purpose/Description Quantity/m Order No.LAN network, cable RG 213/U, 2 BNC connectors on request 300005394Connection of the GPS antenna, cable HF2,3LZ/7,3DZ with 2 plugs 11TNC-50-7-2C20 271256324Connection of the GPS antenna, cable 02Y(ST)C2Y2.7/7.3AF with 2 TNC plugs 30 300005391Connection of the GPS antenna, cable 02Y(ST)C2Y2.7/7.3AF with 2 TNC plugs 40 300005392For the connection of the GPS antenna with cable length >40 m, cable of type Cellflex LCF 12-50 50 Ω must be used.on request 271257679Connection of the VHF antenna, cable HF2,3LZ/7,3DZ with 2 plugs 11TNC-50-7-2C20 271256324Connection of the VHF antenna, cable 02Y(ST)C2Y2.7/7.3AF with 2 TNC plugs 30 300005391Connection of the VHF antenna, cable 02Y(ST)C2Y2.7/7.3AF with 2 TNC plugs 40 300005392For the connection of the VHF antenna with cable length >40 m, cable of type Cellflex LCF 12-50 50 Ω must be used.on request 271257679

In order to avoid misting of the viewing screen, 25 ... 50 W console-heating (power depending on the volume) is recommended.- When selecting the site of a unit, the maximum cable lengths have to be considered according to the notes in the cabling documents (remarks, cable list).-The accessibility for maintenance and service (stated in the outline drawings or installation draw-ings) must be considered.- The impairment of a digital read-out or a display screen by direct light from lamps or the sun must be avoided. Rear windows must be blacked out by means of roller blinds or Venetian blinds.-Disturbing reflections on the screen of a display caused by pilot lamps and illuminated signs must be prevented by suitable measures (screening or relocating).- When a unit is being installed, the base, floor or bulkhead must be checked to ensure that it is flat in order to avoid twisting of the unit when the fixing screws are tightened, because such twisting would impair mechanical functions. Any unevenness should be compensated for by means of spacing-washers.-The grounding screws of the units must be connected to the body of the ship (ground); the wire used should have a cross sectional area of at least 6 mm.Aboard fibreglass (GRP) vessels, a "grounding network" with a high conductance - taking into consideration the working frequencies of the other equipment - must be provided in order to achieve satisfactory EMC (electromagnetic compatibility).- In the interests of safety during maintaining or servicing, the shipyard should provide a common isolating switch or circuit breaker (in conjunction with a contactor, if necessary) for all intercon-nected equipment.-Transportation damage, even if apparently insignificant at first glance, must immediately be exam-ined and be reported to the freight carrier. The moment of setting-to-work of the equipment is too late, not only for reporting the damage but also for the supply of replacements.-The equipment should never be switched on by the electricians who did the installation work - not even just for a moment - never!This is a job for the authorised SAM Electronics service engineer.-After hand-over of the equipment in good operating condition to the customer, the Installation Report (Annex of the Warranty Certificate) should be filled in completely and then forwarded to SAM Electronics, Hamburg, as proof of such fulfilment. It is important that these requirements be fulfilled in order to avoid the risk of losing the warranty.3.2 Specific Recommendations3.2.1 Recommendations Concerning AIS SystemsRecommendations for the installation of AIS systems are published in the document IMO Circular SN227 "Guidelines for the Installation of a Shipborne Automatic Identification System (AIS)".

This effect may become stronger when the VHF antenna of the AIS is located near the VHF radiotelephone antenna and when the radiotelephone is operating on channels near the AIS operating channels (for example channels 27, 28, 86).The antenna should be placed in an elevated position that is as unobstructed as possible, with a minimum of 2 m in the horizontal direction from any structures made of conductive materials. The antenna should not be installed close to any large vertical obstruction. The objective for the VHF antenna is that it should "see" the horizon freely through 360°.The VHF antenna should be installed safely away from interfering high-power energy sources such as the radar scanner and other transmitting radio antennas, preferably at least 3 m away from and out of the transmitting beam.Ideally there should not be more than one antenna on the same level. The AIS VHF antenna should be mounted directly above or below the ship’s primary VHF radiotelephone antenna, with no horizontal sepa-ration and with a minimum of 2 m vertical separation. If it is located on the same level as other antennas, the distance apart should be at least 10 m.For further information, see Figure  on page 82.AIS VHFAntennaAIS VHFAntenna360° view>2 m>2 mMast, boom, railingwith small diameter(should be avoided)Mast, boom, railingwith small diameter(should be avoided)Side view Top viewConductive superstructuresSuperstructures,e.g. deck house,funnel,Superstructures,e.g. deck house,funnel,z_ue_041.eps

In addition to this, the optional checksum is required. The AIS requires status information to check the data integrity.All NMEA versions lower than 2.01 are not allowed for the use with AIS. To verify, that the NMEA version is 2.01 or higher, check the settings of the GPS sensor.Data TelegramsFor all NMEA versions lower than 2.3 the GGA message must be transmitted. Only the GGA message transmits the information, that the differential mode is activated. This is set at the GPS receiver. If this telegram is not transmitted, it is not indicated that a DGPS is connected to the AIS.To check, that a DGPS is connected correctly, check the AIS State Menu of the connected RADAR-PILOT/CHARTRADAR.3.2.6 Emergency Power SourceIt is recommended that an emergency power source such as an uninterruptible power supply is used. See Section 7 for information about the power consumption of the Electronics Unit.3.2.7 Pilot Port, Connector/Cable KitsThe regulations for AIS systems prescribe a connector for the Pilot Port.

The sensors must be connected directly (a Gyro Converter Unit may be necessary). It is not permissible to connect the output channels of the Ship’s Interface to the AIS Electronics Unit.or-Only the heading information may be derived from the Ship’s Interface. For this purpose, at least one free output channel must be available and the system software must be 039 (or higher) for NACOS xx-2 or 071 (or higher) for NACOS xx-3.If the AIS derives it’s position sensor data from the Ship’s Interface, a software update for the complete navigation system must be performed. The software version must be 096 or higher. Older versions do not comply to IEC 61162-1 edition 3, 04/2007 (NMEA0183 version 3.01). In these versions source and status of the position data is not indicated. Such versions must not be used with an AIS.If the AIS is installed in combination with a MULTIPILOT 91x0 or a CHARTPILOT 9320/9330, the complete navigation system has to be updated to software version 097A or higher.NOTE:CHARTPILOTs with a software version 4.0 or newer require an 8-channel Ship’s Interface.3.2.9 Recommendations Concerning the Connection to a Radar 1000/1100 Series SystemIn a single installation, an Analog Interface must be existing to connect the AIS system. In dual or multiple installations with two Analog Interfaces, the AIS must be connected as follows:Radar software version ≤ 2.6: Analog Interface No. 1 (usually at Indicator No. 1)Radar software version ≥ 2.6.1: Analog Interface No. 2 (usually at Indicator No. 2)The AIS Electronics Unit must not be connected to both Analog Interfaces!At a radar with software version 3.0 or newer or a MULTIPILOT 1000, the AIS can be connected also by means of the Ethernet LAN. In this case, an Analog Interface is not necessary (if it is not needed for an analog gyro).3.2.10Recommendations Concerning the Connection to a Radar 1100 Series SystemIn a single installation, an Analog Interface must be existing to connect the AIS system. In dual or multiple installations with two Analog Interfaces, the AIS must be connected to Analog Interface No. 2 (usually at Indicator No. 2).The AIS Electronics Unit must not be connected to both Analog Interfaces!The AIS can be connected also by means of the Ethernet LAN.

The AIS Electronics Unit has three inputs for the essential ship’s sensor data such as position, speed and heading. These data are supplied by means of the navigation system such, as a RADARPILOT 1000/1100. The AIS communicates with the navigation system via the primary display port and/or the Ethernet LAN. In this way the AIS is supplied with additional data such as the ship’s data, administration data and configuration data.The ship’s data, the ship’s sensor data and the position data (from external or internal GPS receiver) are transmitted via VHF. In the opposite direction, the corresponding data of other ships equipped with AIS systems are received by means of the VHF receiver.These data are processed and sent to the navigation system via the primary display port or the Ethernet LAN.The functions of the pilot port correspond to the functions of the primary display port, but the pilot port must be made accessible for pilots on the ship’s bridge. It must not be used for other purposes.The DSC Receiver receives messages from external stations such as VTS. By means of the DSC messages, specific settings such as a change of the VHF channels can be controlled.z_ue_015.pdfVHFAntennaRadar /NACOS systemPilot PortLong Range PortInternal Position SensorAlarm relay contactsShip'ssensor dataPrimaryDisplay Port(PDP)Transfers thesame data asthe PDPAISElectronics UnitGPSAntenna3 x RS422 RS422RS422RS422RS422and/orLAN24 VDCMediaConverterRJ-45BNC

By means of the connection of a long range commu-nication system (such as a satellite communication system) to the long range port, this limitation can be eliminated. In this way, the AIS can be called to send the ship’s data. The requested data are sent via the long range port and the long range communication system to the questioner. The operator can decide whether a long range request is answered or not.4.2 TerminationThe wiring must be done in accordance with Figure 4-2 with 50 Ω coaxial cable (for example inside the enclosures, RG 58, for ship’s cabling RG 213 / U, see cabling diagrams). The network is a 10 Mbit network.The BNC-T plugs must be connected directly into the Ethernet Module. It is not admissible to connect the T-plug and the network adapter by means of a coaxial cable.Proper termination with a 50 Ω BNC termination plug at both ends of the Ethernet line is very important.It is not permissible to use cable with a characteristic impedance different from 50 Ω.If no cable is connected to the Ethernet connector, it must also be terminated.Fig. 4-2 Principle of wiring for Ethernet LANTTz_ue_11.eps

Grounding is impor-tant for EMC purposes as well as for protecting people’s lives. Both purposes are covered by the standard grounding of the system’s housings to the ship’s metallic structure (bolted or welded). Regard-less of the type of ship’s grounding (e.g. star pattern or ground plane pattern), no potential difference should be measurable between two different ground connectors. Potential differences cause compensa-tion currents on the cable shields. If the ship has no metallic structure, all conductively connected metallic parts form an artificial ground.All ground connections should be as short as possible. If possible, different units should be connected to individual ground connectors. Whenever possible, metallic housings should be screwed or welded directly to the ship’s metallic structure. If a safe grounding contact is not ensured, additional conductors are necessary. Furthermore, all ground connections should have a low RF-impedance, and should be resistant against vibration and corrosion. Grounding conductors on an open-air deck must be made of corrosion-protected steel, and inside the ship they must be made of copper.The grounding should be done in such a way that the connection can be inspected in a convenient manner.EMC PurposesThe shields of all cables must be connected at both ends if no other instructions are given.Protective GroundAll removable metallic parts of the housings are grounded by means of separate, flexible cables to the main structure of the housing. It is important to connect this ground-cable after parts have been dismounted or exchanged.Title PageCable Diagram, connection to RADARPILOT 1x00, NACOS xx-4/5 via Primary Display Port68Cable Diagram, connection to CHARTPILOT, NACOS xx-4/5, RADAR / MULTIPILOT 1x00 via LAN69Cable Diagram, connection to CHARTPILOT stand-alone70Cable Diagram, connection to Radar 9xxx via Radar 9xxx AIS Interface (NACOS xx-3)71Detailed Cable Diagram, connection to RADARPILOT 1x00, NACOS xx-4/5 via Primary Display Port72Detailed Cable Diagram, Wheelhouse Console73Detailed Cable Diagram, connection to NACOS xx-4/5, RADAR / MULTIPILOT 1x00 via LAN74Detailed Cable Diagram, connection to CHARTPILOT stand-alone systems75Detailed Cable Diagram, connection to RADAR 9xxx AIS Interface76Detailed Cable Diagram, connection to RADAR 9xxx AIS Interface PCB GE 3044 G 22077
