13 AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (AIS)
13.1 GENERAL
NOTE
• 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 Identication 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.

13.2 AIS OPERATION
The 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.
NOTE
To 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).
