AIS is fitted with a full alphanumeric keyboard, with the following functions:
By pressing any key on the keyboard the letters are addressed.
Number symbols and special characters are addressed by holding down the
shift [×] key and simultaneously pressing the chosen key.
The characters ($; %; &; /; (; ); <; ^ ; \ ; [; ]; ) can be reached by holding down the Function [Fn] key
and pressing the chosen key.
2.1 Explanation of the “Cursor Cross”
The Cursor Cross allows navigation within the current
screen [Up] [Down] [Left] [Right].
In addition to the actually displayed [Enter]
button, the
center of the cursor cross always has the Enter functionality.

The NUM-Locked function is enabled after pressing the Function [Fn] Key and the Shift [×] Key.
It is possible to disable the Num-Lock Function by pressing the Function [Fn] Key and the Shift [×]
Key.
Tip: The GlobalWatch
TM
AIS automatically changes the keys “Q” through to “P” to numerical input
2
when the current application requires numbers, rather than letters to be input. This feature is
enabled when [NUM] appears on the bottom left hand side of the screen.

After selecting a vessel, the Message Editor is automatically displayed.
Messages containing a maximum of 156 characters are allowed. Longer texts require a second

f) Long Range Interrogation
Mobile, and shore-based stations have the ability to interrogate vessels and make requests for
information over the “Long Range Interface”. The interrogated vessel can either reply in automatic,
or in manual mode. The interrogation request is displayed in both modes.
The arrival of a Long Range Interrogation Request is indicated by:
1L on the top right hand corner of the Navigation Screen. The LRI automatically arrives in the
Message Inbox LRI and can be handled from there.

the current AIS status of the other vessels, which are displayed in the Vessel Listing.
Version Info provides details of the actual software release currently installed. Security Log traces
the downtimes of the Transponder, to ensure that periods of down time when the transponder is out
of order or lacking electricity can be traced.

GPS Antenna Mounting
It is important to input the exact mounting position of the GPS Antenna on the vessel as this
influences the accuracy of the displayed target in an ECDIS.
(RefPntExt:) = The position of any external positioning device (GPS Antenna) used as primary
position source.
(RefPntInt:) = The position of the GPS Antenna (fallback device in case primary source is disabled).
After antenna installation, the distance from the sides must be measured and input.
Either the distance from the vessel’s bow (a) or the stern (b) and starboard (d) and backboard (c) are
required.
e.g. A vessel with the following dimensions:
Length: 100m
Beam: 20m
Input: A90C5 - then press Enter or
B10D15 - then press Enter
Result:
RefPtExt: A90 B10 C5 D15m
The GlobalWatch
based on the vessel’s length and beam.
Note:
When receiving position data from large vessels, it should be considered that the position refers to
the antenna mounting point upon the vessel. To ensure accurate navigation, the antenna reference
points (see Other Vessels Details) should be taken into consideration when determining the vessels
position.
TM
AIS automatically calculates the missing distances (a) or (b) and (c) or (d) -

Also, the electronic chart display in use should be programmed to consider the antenna reference
points. Traffic images are represented in true distances only when all displayed targets, including
own vessel, are working with AIS position information, which considers Antenna reference points.
Sample:
Display:
CallSign = D11233
ShipName = M/V TUGELA
Length = 20m
Beam = 30m
RefPointExt = A170 B30 C15 D15m (location of the external GPS antenna)
RefPointInT = A170 B30 C9 D11m (location of the internal GPS antenna)
ShipType = Tug
With the up/down keys you may move from line to line and input the correct data. The last line
“ShipType:“ must be selected by actuating the left/right keys out of the pool of all possible types.
Actuate “Enter”
Special is the setting of the GPS antenna position:
The first settings which have to be entered are Length and Beam of the ship in meters.
Next step: enter 2 values more per location to specify the distance from the bow and from the side.
Distances are to be set in meters.
A = the distance from bow to the antenna
B= the distance from the antenna to the stern
C = the distance from the port side to the antenna
D = the distance from the antenna to the starboard side
Example: Length =200m, A = 160m, Beam = 30m, D = 15m
Move with Up/down keys to the Length line. Type 200, actuate “Enter”
Move one line down. Type 30, actuate “Enter”
RefPtExt and RefPtInt both show “N/A” now.
Only one of the length values A or B must be entered and one of the width values C or D.
For our example in the RefPtExt – line type as follows:
A160D15 (without spaces)
Actuate “Enter”
The full line as shown will be displayed: RefPtExt: A160 B40 C15 D15m
B and C are calculated by the AIS.
Do the same with the RefPtInt – line
Actuate soft key “Save”

System Reaction / Remedy
Reaction: The transponder unit stops transmission. If Alarm ID 01 and ID
02 are simultaneously displayed, then a major antenna problem has
arisen.
Remedy:
Check if the antenna is AIS compatible (156-162 MHz) and if the antenna
cabling has a short circuit or is missing any contacts at the connectors.
If the ID 01 is displayed as a stand-alone message, then the unit requires
replacing.
Reaction: The transponder unit continues transmission.
Remedy:
Check the antenna and the antenna cabling (RG214 / 50 Ohm cable
required).
Reaction: The transponder unit stops transmission on the affected
channel,
Remedy:
If this alarm reoccurs regularly, then the transponder unit requires
replacing.
Reaction: The transponder unit stops transmission.
Remedy:
The transponder unit requires replacing.
Reaction: The transponder unit continues operation using the position
data of the internal GPS. If there is no valid position data available from
the internal GPS, error 026 is additionally displayed.
Remedy:
ID 25 indicates that the sentences GLL, GNS, GGA, RMC cannot be
received. Check the sensor and the cabling; check if the system that
delivers the data is working. Check the baud rate settings of the sensor
inputs. AIS requires the protocol NMEA 0183 V3.0!
Reaction: The transponder unit continues operation.

Check the sensor cabling and the antenna of the internal GPS sensor.

Reaction: The transponder unit continues operation
Remedy:
The sentence for ROT cannot be received. If a Rate Of Turn indicator is
not in use, then it suffices to just acknowledge the alarm. The Alarm
Status will store the information that no ROT sensor is available.
Otherwise, check the sensor and the cabling. Check if the system that
delivers the data is working. Check the baud rate settings of the sensor
inputs. AIS requires the protocol NMEA 0183 V3.0!
