1 General Introduction
Y1-03-0177A
1.1 Description of AIS
What does the abbreviation AIS stand for?
AIS stands for:
“Automatic Identification System”
What is AIS?
According to IALA regulations, AIS is defined as follows:
Very simply, the AIS is a broadcast Transponder system, operating in the VHF maritime
mobile Band. It is capable of sending ship information such as identification, position
course, speed and more, to other ships and to shore. It can handle multiple reports at
rapid update rates and uses Self-Organizing Time Division Multiple Access (SOTDMA)
technology to meet these high broadcast rates and ensure reliable and robust ship to ship
operation.
What are the performance standards of AIS?
The IMO defines the performance standards as follows:
- Ship to Ship working
- Ship to Shore working, including Long Range Application
- Automatic and continuous operation
- Provision of information messaging
- Utilization of maritime VHF channels
Which modules make up an AIS-Transponder?
The Modules:
- DGPS / GPS receiver
- VHF Radio
- Antenna
- Computer (CPU)
- Power Supply
Appropriate application software connects the individual modules.
In which modes does AIS function?
AIS is required to function flawlessly in a variety of modes. The relevant regulations require:
The system shall be capable of
- An "autonomous and continuous" mode for operation in all areas. This mode
- An "assigned" mode for operation in an area subject to a competent authority
- A "polling or controlled" mode, where the data transfer occurs in response to
shall be capable of being switched to/from one of the following alternate modes by
a competent authority;
responsible for traffic monitoring such that the data transmission interval and/or
time slots may be set remotely by that authority;
interrogation from a ship or competent authority.

and in connection with the VHF, and GPS-Antennas, the minimal requirements for
Transponder operation are fulfilled.
Both vessels in the above illustration are equipped with a GlobalWatch
TM
UAIS (or any
other certified AIS-Transponder). Due to “Time – Synchronization” they use the same
organization of free and allocated windows (Slots) in the shared VHF Data Link (this
method is called “Self Organized Time Division Multiple Access”) to send and receive
messages.
Without the necessity of any active interaction, both vessels know exactly who or what is
cruising nearby and where the individual object is heading.

The scenario below shows a full AIS coverage area (including all derivates and complete
shore infrastructure).
The Carriage Requirement currently applies exclusively to SOLAS Vessels, but following the
current international discussions on maritime security; it is common understanding that other
possible AIS users will follow very soon. Shore Based infrastructure will be among the first
groups to become AIS equipped.

1.4 Carriage Requirement
Y1-03-0177A
1.4.1 Chapter V (Safety of Navigation) Regulation 19, of the SOLAS Convention.
IMO regulations require sea vessels from a size of 300 GT in international and 500 GT in
national waters to be equipped with an AIS-Transponder. The implementation of this
legislation began on 1. July 2002 and will be enforced in the following stages:
• July 2002 for all vessels built from this period onwards
• July 2003 for all passenger ships and all tankers which were built before 1. July 2002
• July 2004 for all ships of 50.000 GT and above which were built before 1. July 2002
• July 2005 for all ships from 10.000 GT up to under 50.000 which were built before
1. July 2002
• July 2006 for all ships from 3.000 GT up to under 10,000 which were built before
1. July 2002
• July 2007 for all ships from 300 GT up to under 3.000 which were built before
1. July 2002
• July 2008 for all other ships which do not travel in international waters and were built
before July 2002
In some cases, exemptions may be granted to such ships, which will be taken off sea within 2
years of legislation coming into effect.
Refer to IMO Recommendation ITU-R M.1371-1 and IALA-AIS-Guidelines
1.4.2 Accelerated Implementation of AIS:

3.4.3 PILOT Port CH 5
Y1-03-0177A
The used sentence Formatters are the same as before described at the ECDIS Port.
Note:
A pilot input/output port is part of an AIS Class A station. A plug connected to this port should
be installed on the bridge near the pilot’s operating position so that a pilot can connect a
Personal Pilot Unit (PPU) if required. Also a power connector for the Pilot Unit should be
available nearby.
The pilot plug should be configured as follows: (Refer to SUB-COMMITTEE ON SAFETY OF
NAVIGATION NAV48/18 2.4.2002)
• AMP/Receptacle (Square Flanged (-1) or Free-Hanging (-2)), Shell size 11, 9-pin,
Std. Sex 206486-1/2 or equivalent with the following terminations:
- Tx A (out-) is connected to Pin 1
- Tx B (out+) is connected to Pin 4
- Rx A (in-) is connected to Pin 5
- Rx B (in+) is connected to Pin 6
- Shield is connected to Pin 9
3.4.4 LONG RANGE CH 8
The AIS long-range function requires a compatible long-range communication system (e.g.
Inmarsat-C or MF/HF radio as part of GMDSS) - a connection between this communication
system and the Class A mobile unit is possible.
This connection is required in order to activate the LR function of the AIS. Its input/output port
must meet the IEC 61162-2 requirements.

3.4.6 ALARM CIRCUIT – BIIT Channel 10
The AIS requires that an alarm output (relay) must be connected to an audible alarm device
or the ships alarm system, if available.
Alternatively, the BIIT (built-in integrity test) alarm system may use the alarm messages
output on the presentation port (ECDIS Port Channel 5), provided the ECDIS alarm system is
connected and AIS compatible.

3.5 Sensor notes
Y1-03-0177A
External Sensor
The AIS has interfaces (configurable as IEC 61162-1 or 61162-2) for position, bottom track
(BT) speed, heading and rate of turn (ROT) sensors. In general, sensors installed in
compliance with other carriage requirements of SOLAS Chapter V should be connected to
the AIS System.*1. The sensor information transmitted by AIS should be the same
information being used for navigation of the ship. Interfacing problems might occur if the
existing on board sensors do not have serial (IEC 61162) outputs. A converter is needed to
translate the non conform data to IEC 61162 – sensor data. For Example Raytheon Nav
Data Repeater 133-812
*1)
The fact that AIS is fitted on board a vessel does NOT entail the need to install additional sensors
other that those stated in the carriage requirements.
External GPS
GNSS position sensors normally have IEC 61162 outputs suitable for direct AIS interfacing.
However, it is important to note that:
• The Geodetic Datum of the position data is transmitted by the sensor in WGS84 so that an
IEC 61162 DTM sentence is configured.
• AIS is able to process two reference points for it’s antenna position, one for external, and
one for an internal sensor. If more than one external reference point is used, the appropriate
information needs to be input to the AIS, so that the reference point information is suitably
adjusted.
External Heading
A gyrocompass providing heading information is a mandatory sensor input to the AIS. A
converter unit (synchro or step-signal converter to NMEA 0183 v.3.0 for example Raytheon
converter type: 133-812) will be needed for AIS connection in the case that the ship’s
gyrocompass does not provide IEC 61162 output.
External Speed and Course
If a bottom track (BT)-log for speed over the ground (SOG) is available, it may be connected.
A converter (for example Raytheon converter type: 133-812) is needed if the BT-log does not
provide IEC 61162 outputs
External Rate of Turn
Not all ships will carry a Rate-Of-Turn (ROT) indicator according to IMO A.526. However, if a
rate-of-turn indicator is available and it includes an IEC 61162 interface, it should be
connected to the AIS.
If ROT information is not available from a ROT indicator, it may (optionally) be derived from
heading information through:
• The gyrocompass itself,
• An external converter unit (see Heading),
• The AIS itself (calculated ROT).

3.6 Sensor Installation
3.6.1 Signal state definitions
The idle, marking, logical 1, OFF or stop bit state is defined by a negative voltage on line A
with respect to line B, as in IEC 61162-1.
The active, spacing, logical 0, ON or start bit state is defined by a positive voltage on line A
with respect to line B, as in IEC 61162-1.
3.6.2 Talker drive circuits
The drive circuit meets the requirements of ITU-T V.11. The maximum output current is
I
= 50mA on each port.
max
3.6.3 Listener receive circuits
Multiple listeners may be connected to a single talker. The listener's receive circuit complies
with ITU-T V.11. Optional termination resistors (120Ohm) for the Input-lines are provided in
the Connection Box. The input terminals A, B and C are electrically isolated from the
remaining electronics of the listening device.
The input impedance is 30kOhm between A and B lines without the termination resistors. The
minimum input voltage is ±0,3V.
3.6.4 Electrical isolation
Within a listener there are no direct electrical connection between the signal lines A and B,
the signal ground C or the shield to ship's mains ground or power line. This isolation is in
accordance with IEC 60945.
3.6.5 Maximum voltage on the bus
The maximum applied voltage between signal lines A and B and between either line and
ground C is in accordance with ITU-T V.11. For protection against miswiring and for
unintended connection to earlier TALKER designs, all receive circuit devices are capable of
withstanding 15 V between both lines and signal ground for an indefinite period.
3.6.6 Data transmission
Data is transmitted in serial asynchronous form in accordance with 1.2. The first bit is a start
bit and is followed by data bits, least-significant-bit first.
The following parameters are used:
– baud rate 38 400 (bits/s) resp. 4 800 (bits/s)
– data bits 8 (D7 = 0), parity none;
– stop bits 1.

3.10 Installation of VHF / GPS Antennas
Y1-03-0177A
Interference to the Ship’s VHF Radiotelephone
The AIS ship borne equipment, like any other ship borne transceiver operating in the VHF
maritime band, may cause interference to a ship’s VHF radiotelephone. Because AIS is a
digital system, this interference may occur as a periodic (e.g. every 20 seconds) soft clicking
sound on the ship’s radiotelephone. This affect may become more noticeable if the VHF
radiotelephone antenna is located close to the AIS VHF antenna, and when the
radiotelephone is operating on channels near the AIS operating channels (e.g. channels 27,
28 and 86).
Attention should be paid to the location and installation of the various antennas, in order to
support the antenna characteristics in the best possible way.
VHF Antenna Installation
Antenna Location
Location of the mandatory AIS VHF-antenna should be carefully considered. Digital
communication is more sensitive than analogue/voice communication to interference created
by reflections caused by obstructions such as masts and booms. It may be necessary to
relocate the VHF radiotelephone antenna to minimize interference effects.
To minimise interference effects, the following guidelines apply:
• The AIS VHF antenna should have omni directional vertical polarisation providing 3 to 5
dB gain.
• The AIS VHF antenna should be placed in an elevated position, as free standing as
possible, with a minimum of 2 metres in horizontal direction from constructions made of
conductive materials. The antenna should not be installed close to any large vertical
obstruction. The AIS VHF antenna should have a visible sky of 360°.
• The AIS VHF antenna should be installed at least 3 meters away from interfering highpower energy sources such as radar and other transmitting radio antennas, and out of the
way of the transmitting beam.
• There should not be more than one antenna on each level. The AIS VHF antenna should
be mounted directly above or below the ship’s primary VHF radiotelephone antenna, with
no horizontal separation and a minimum of 2 metres vertical separation. If it is located on
the same level as other antennas, the distance apart should measure at least 10 metres.
• See also sample for antenna layout in Appendix 9.2 (Drawings and Approvals)
Cabling
The cable should be kept as short as possible to minimise attenuation of the signal. Double
shielded coaxial cables equal to or better than RG214 are recommended.
RG214 at VHF attenuation per meter of app. 0,07 dB/m (45m = 3,15db)
VHF AIS frequency app. 162MHz
GlobalWatch
TM
UAIS Installation Manual 17 Version 1.0
Page 23
All outdoor connectors on the coaxial cables should be fitted with preventive isolation, such
Y1-03-0177A
as shrink-stocking with silicone to protect the antenna cable against water penetration.
Coaxial cables should be installed in separate signal cable channels/tubes, and at least 10
cm away from any power supply cables. Crossing of cables should take place at right angles
(90°). Coaxial cables should not be exposed to sharp bends, which may lead to changes to
the characteristic impedance of the cable. The minimum bend radius should be 5 times the
cables outside diameter.
Grounding
Coaxial down-leads must be used for all receiving antennas, and the coaxial screen should
be connected to the ground at one end.
GNSS Antenna installation
A Class A AIS must be connected to a GNSS antenna.
Location
The GNSS antenna must be installed where it has a clear view of the sky, so that it accesses
the horizon freely through 360°, with a vertical observation of 5 to 90 degrees above the
horizon. Small diameter obstructions, such as masts and booms, do not seriously impair
signal reception, but such objects must not eclipse more than a few degrees of any given
bearing.
The antenna must be located at least three meters away from, and out of the transmitting
beam of high-power transmitters (S-Band Radar and/or Inmarsat systems). This includes the
ship’s own AIS VHF antenna, if it is designed and installed separately. See also sample for
antenna layout in Appendix 9.2 (Drawings and Approvals)
If a DGNSS system is included or connected to the AIS system, the installation of the
antenna should be undertaken in accordance with IEC 61108-4, Edition 1.
Cabling
To achieve optimum performance, the gain of the antenna pre-amplifier should match the
cable attenuation. The resulting installation gain (pre-amplifier gain - cable attenuation)
should be within 0 to 10 dB.
RG214 at GPS attenuation per meter of app. 0,35 dB/m (45m = 15,75dB)
GPS frequency app. 1,2GHz
The coaxial cable between the antenna and the AIS ship borne station connector should be
routed directly, in order to reduce electromagnetic interference. The cable should not be
installed close to high-power lines, such as radar or radio-transmitter lines, or near the AIS
VHF antenna cable. A space of one meter or more is recommended in order to avoid
degradation due to RF-coupling. Crossing of antenna cables should take place at 90 degrees,
to minimise magnetic field coupling.

Antenna Layout
The position of the VHF und GNSS – antennas must be added to the existing antenna layout
of the vessel.
Power Supply
The GlobalWatch
TM
UAIS must be supplied from the emergency power source. A further
requirement is to connect AIS to the reserve power source of the GMDSS. A new battery
capacity calculation must then be undertaken. See sample in 9.1 (Samples for battery
calculation)
Following documents are needed for the installation approval of the classification
• Antenna Layout (arrangement)
• Battery Calculation
• Connection / Block – Diagram with locations
• Type Approval Certificate

4 Starting the GlobalWatchTM UAIS
After completing the hardware, antennas and external equipment installation, the initial
system start-up can commence. To start the system, connect the GlobalWatch
the power supply.
The next step is to enter the configuration like password and the MMSI number.
4.1 Service and User Passwords:
The Transponder system is equipped with two separate Passwords.
1) The User Password, which is the lower security level allows access to all menus except
Menu 6: Service Configuration - please refer to the User Manual for further details on
password protection.
2) The Service Password is required in order to enter the Service Configuration Menu. This is
a higher security level than can be accessed with the User Password and therefore ensures
that the Service Configuration is protected, and limited to authorized service personnel.
The master of the vessel has to ensure that only authorised persons are allowed to make
changes to the Service Configuration and ensures that the newly reset password is stored
very carefully, as it can not be reset from the default “NAUT” a second time.
A master key is not available.
Changing the Service Password
Select “Service Configuration” from the Main Menu with the cursor button [Up] & [Down] or
press Nr. 6 on the keyboard.

Check the sensor and the cabling; Check if the system that delivers the
data is working; Check the baud rate settings of the sensor input
Reaction: COG/SOG is in full operation
Remedy: no action required
Reaction: The transponder unit continues operation using the data
from the internal GPS.

Reaction: A Rate Of Turn indicator is connected and in full operation
Remedy: no action required
Reaction: The transponder unit is operating with ROT data rather than
with TIROT data - therefore the AIS only differs between + 127 (turning
right at 720 degrees per minute or higher) and – 127 ( turning
left at 720 degrees per minute or higher)
