1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 MANDO-301/303 Overview
Aids to Navigation (AtoN) AIS is one of the latest applications of AIS technology. The AIS AtoN
transponder can be installed in lighthouse, lantern, buoy, other fixed and floating aids, or offshore
platforms to transmit warning, navigational, and meteorological data to approaching vessels and/or
to shore stations. AMEC offers two types of AIS AtoN: MANDO-301 (Type 1) and MANDO-303
(Type 3).

Type 1 (MANDO- 301) – It transmits on FATDMA slots given in its configuration and has
no receiver. The FATDMA slots must be pre-configured by base station.
GPS Antenna
VHF Antenna
Figure 1-1-1 AIS AtoN Type 1 Block Diagram

Type 3 (MANDO-303) – It has AIS receive and transmit capabilities in accordance with
Recommendation ITU-R M.1371. Using FATDMA/RATDMA.
GPS Antenna
VHF Antenna
Figure 1-1-2 AIS AtoN Type 3 Block Diagram
A pre-programmed transmitting schedule can be configured to broadcast AtoN messages through
FATDMA or RATDMA. The MANDO-301/303 AtoN transponder is designed to broadcast the
following messages:





Current position;
AtoN status;
Control information;
Support Synthetic, Virtual and Chaining functions;
Meteorological / hydrological information
In normal conditions, the unit transmits a report with AIS AtoN position in an ITU-R M.1371
message 21. In addition, the AIS AtoN broadcasts AIS Message 6, which enables the operator to
monitor the AtoN device for solar/battery voltage, flash setting and light status. Subject to the fitting
of appropriate measuring devices, meteorological/hydrological data and other parameters can be
obtained via Message 8. A brief summary of all the messages processed by the AIS AtoN are
defined in section 1.4.
MANDO-301/303 AIS AtoN are fully IALA and IEC compliant devices, and provide users choices
from basic PCB modules to rugged aluminum enclosed unit. The compact PCB module (102mm x
105mm x 49mm) is giving a great flexibility for users to integrate AIS AtoN transceiver into their
floating lantern or buoy. The weatherproof anodized aluminum housing (140mm x 155mm x 60mm)
offers user the variety of mounting methods.
Moreover, AMEC’s MANDO series is one of the most power-saving AtoN transceivers with the low
power consumption while offshore power resources are limited.
MANDO-303 is also equipped with multiple digital/analog interfaces, which provides user the
flexibility to connect other communication devices, hydraulic, and metrological sensors.

Figure2-3 Installing VHF Antenna
When installing VHF antenna, please follow all of the manufacturer's instructions with particular
attention to the cable routing and connection. (For better product performance, AMEC VHF
antenna is highly recommended.)


Ensure the cable connector is carefully secured.
Place the antenna as high as practical on the buoy and separate as much as possible.

Ensure the antenna is installed vertically with a minimum of 2 meters of clearance from all
conductive material.
Ensure the antenna has a 360° line of sight to the horizon.

13






Avoid the antenna be surrounded by any obstacle or metal object due to signal interference.
Do not stabilize the VHF antenna with metal holder.
The bottom of the VHF antenna is the signal receiving blind spot.
Keep the antenna cable as short as possible.
The antenna cable diameter should be 5D/8D or even better ones.
Avoid bare wire winding & insulating tape wrapping when connecting with extended antenna
cable.
Installation Process
1) Place the VHF antenna mounting bracket on a rigid surface and install the antenna.
2) Install the coaxial cable from the antenna to the AtoN location.
3) Connect the cable to the AtoN device.
Surge absolver
Lightning arrestors should be used in all antenna cables if there is a risk of lightning strike.

2.5. Installing GPS Antenna
Since the punctuality of internal transmission of the AtoN device relies on the accuracy of the time
signal obtained from the GPS system, the correct installation of GPS antenna is essential. When
installing GPS antenna, please follow all of the manufacturer's instructions with particular attention
to the cable routing and connection. (For better product performance, AMEC GPS antenna is highly
recommended.)

When installing the GPS antenna, follow the cautions below.
 Ensure the cable connector is carefully secured.
 Position the antenna as high as possible to prevent ice or spray from negatively affecting
signal reception.
 Be sure no obstructions are between the GPS antenna and the sky.
 Place the GPS antenna at least 3m from the VHF antenna due to signal interference.
Installation Process
1) Place the GPS antenna mounting bracket on a rigid surface and install the antenna.

your message scheduling settings (UTC hour, UTC minute, Start Slot, Interval) to calculate the
nearest next transmitting time.
Example 1, FATDMA: UTC hour: 0 ; UTC minute : 1; Start Slot : 150 (4 seconds); Interval : 10
minutes. (If the UTC time from GPS is 18:03:00 – according to the Example 1. The message will be
sent at UTC time 18:11:04; 18:21:04; 18:31:04...etc)
Example 2, FATDMA: UTC hour: 1 ; UTC minute : 1; Start Slot : 300 (8 seconds); Interval : 70
minutes (1 hour 10 minutes) (If the UTC time from GPS is 18:03:00 – according to the Example 2.
The message will be sent at UTC time 18:31:08; 19:41:08; 20:51:08...etc)

5.4 Built-in Integrity Test (BIIT)
With BIIT (Built-in Integrity Test), the MANDO-301/303 is constantly monitoring and testing the
integrity itself.
5.4.1 BIIT Function for Antenna Disconnect
There is a built-in RF output power detector, which is used to monitor the VSWR of VHF antenna
port. If there is any abnormal condition (open or short) at VHF port of MANDO-301/303,
MANDO-301/303 will cease transmission at next transmission phase.
5.4.2 BIIT Function for Receiver Channel 1 and/or Channel 2 Failure
Receiver at MANDO has built-in receiver signal strength indication (RSSI), which is designed under
pre-defined threshold to judge receiver operating status. If the RSSI level is over pre-defined
threshold, MANDO-301/303 will reflect receiver failure and cease transmission during next
transmission phase.
5.5 Troubleshooting
Please find accordance with above procedure while setting MANDO-301/303. If there is any
problem, please do not hesitate to contact us or our local agent.
