Page 96 GX600013 AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (AIS)13.1 GENERALNOTE• The GX6000 is equipped with an antenna connection designated for AIS. By connecting a marine antenna to this connector, the transceiver can receive AIS signals while receiving a VHF voice transmissions.• Install the VHF antenna and the AIS antenna as far away from each other as possible. Having a large vertical distance is especially effec-tive for improving high frequency isolation. To make even longer-range communication possible, it is recommended to install the antenna for VHF at a height higher than the antenna for AIS.The Automatic Identication System (AIS) is a short range coastal tracking system. AIS is intended to assist in collision avoidance by seeing positions and courses of AIS equipped vessels around your vessel.AIS is mandatory on passenger ships, irrespective of size, all ships 300 gross tonnage and larger engaged on international voyages, cargo ships of 500 gross tonnage and larger not engaged on international voyages.AIS uses two marine VHF channels. Each ship equipped with an AIS transpon-der transmits a packet every few seconds with information about the ship and its voyage. Radio frequencies: AIS1 = 161.975 MHz, or channel 87B and AIS2 162.025 MHz, or channel 88B. A stand-alone AIS receiver or the AIS receiver built in to a Class A or Class B transponder can pick up these radio signals and translate them into a NMEA data sentence that can be understood by a computer with the proper software or by an AIS-enabled chart plotter. Classes of AIS:Class A - 12.5W power output - mandated for use on SOLAS Chapter V vessels (and others in some countries). Class B CS - 2W output - lower cost derivative for leisure and non-SOLAS markets.The GX6000 is capable of receiving Class A and Class B CS transmissions with the internal Dual Channel AIS receiver.
Page 97GX600013.2 AIS OPERATIONThe GX6000 is equipped with an AIS receiver and can display AIS targets around your vessel on the radio's display. Therefore, you can identify and avoid in proximity to your vessel.NOTETo show AIS targets on the radio’s display, the SCU-31 or an external GPS devices needs to be connected via NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000 so the radio knows its position relative to the AIS targets.1. []  “AIS” The AIS display shows your vessel as a “ ” icon in the center of the display. AIS targets are shown as triangles. The line projected from the circle is the AIS vessels course over ground (COG).Vessel LocationAIS TargetRange Ring2. Press the ►/◄ key to change the AIS target. Pressing the ◄ key sequentially displays AIS vessels in order closest to your ship. Pressing the ► key sequentially displays AIS vessels in order furthest from your ship.＜AIS＞Selected AIS TargetInformationof the AIS Target The selected AIS target is displayed with “ ” icon, while other stations are displayed with “ ” icon.Note: Up to 15 AIS targets can be shown on the display. All received AIS targets are displayed on the compatible chartplotter or navigation software via NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000. 3.

Press the [BACK] soft key to return to AIS screen.NOTEYou may change the display range unit of the AIS screen, refer to section “18.7 UNITS OF MEASURE”.13.2.3 Transmitting an Individual Call to an AIS ShipIt is possible for the GX6000 to transmit a DSC individual call to a received AIS target by the procedure below:1. On the AIS screen, press one of the soft keys to show the key selections.2. Press the [TG LIST] soft key to show a list of AIS target being received.3. Rotate the DIAL/ENT knob to select the MMSI number (or vessel name). then press the [SELECT] soft key.
Page 99GX60004. Press the [CALL] soft key 5. In the INTERSHIP CH list, rotate the DIAL/ENT knob to select the operating channel on which you want to communicate, then press the [SELECT] soft key. To select operating channels from all voice channels, press the [MANUAL] soft key.6. To transmit an individual DSC call to the select AIS ship, press the [YES] soft key. After the GX6000 transmits, the radio waits for the DSC radio on the AIS ship to transmit a reply, at which time the radio will ring like a telephone. Pick up the mic, press the PTT switch and talk to the AIS vessel.7. Press the [QUIT] soft key to return to AIS screen.8. Press the CLEAR key to return to radio operation.13.2.4 CPA/TCPA Alarm FunctionsThe CPA (Closest Point of Approach) alarm sounds when other AIS vessels enter within the range set as the CPA Limit. For details, refer to section “13.3.1 CPA”.The TCPA (Time to Closest Point of Approach) alarm sounds according to the time set as the TCPA Limit which is the time taken until other AIS vessels enter within the range set as the CPA Limit. For details, refer to section “13.3.2 TCPA”.1. If other AIS vessels approach your ship, the alarm sounds according to the CPA Limit and TCPA Limit that you set in advance.2. Press any key to stop the alarm. The targets for the CPA/TCPA alarm will appear with “ ” and ash. Up to 15 targets for the CPA/TCPA alarm can be shown on the screen. Note: If the display is in a mode other than AIS, the radio automatically switches to the AIS mode.
